前言 | Preface

我看见学生时代的一幅图画,

上面布满手印和墨渍,

在小学教室粉刷过的墙上悬挂。

那是一张裱糊在粗布上的地图,

上面有着我们继承下来的瑞典土地,

自古以来,它就是我们的国家。

它位于高山和大地之间,

地处斯堪的那维亚。

从旁边观察,

在儿童的想象中,

它像是一头雄狮,

正在休息和思索什么。

小学生凝视着地图,

思想好像长上了翅膀,

从伊斯塔德到托尔耐欧,

沿着无尽头的大路飞跑。

就是穿上古老传说中的铁鞋,

也会把鞋底磨透。

现在祖国大地是我们的,

我们要把它的容颜记在心上。

——卡尔·斯诺伊尔斯基

与中国远隔万里的瑞典似乎是地球另一端的遥远国度,但瑞典与中国的交流早在近三百年前就已经开始。早在1732年,来自瑞典东印度公司(1731-1821)的商船哥德堡号就首航至广州港进行贸易往来。多次长途航行后,哥德堡号于1745年触礁沉没,1993年被一所新成立的瑞典东印度公司打捞出来,并于2005年重建并航行至广州。如今这艘代表中瑞关系里程碑的轮船停泊在哥德堡城市博物馆供观众参观。这个展览是这些瑞典艺术家作品在中国的首次亮相,也可以看作是我们的‘艺术哥德堡号’,是中瑞艺术家交流合作的首航。

瑞典女作家塞尔玛•拉格洛夫的《尼尔斯骑鹅旅行记》或许是对许多中国朋友最早的瑞典文化启蒙。这位在诺贝尔文学奖历史上唯一因童话写作获奖的作家以深沉生动地描绘了瑞典美丽的山川河流,乡村城市,风土人情,而这也是此次展览希望展现的瑞典风貌。这个人口不到一千万的小国孕育了许多重要的艺术家和学者,而许多从六七十年代成长起来的瑞典人对于社会主义的最初启示就来自中国,这个富庶和平的国度目前实行的自由开放平等的“瑞典模式”被周边国家参考而成为举世闻名的“北欧模式”。

位于瑞典第二大城市哥德堡市的版画家协会(Grafik I Vast)成立于1991年,拥有自己的画廊和工作室,会员近300人,多数居住在瑞典西部,也有世界其他国家。哥德堡版画家协会的会员多为独立艺术家和版画工作室,他们也与欧洲其他版画机构和院校保持紧密的合作。此次展览选取了25位艺术家代表的共40件作品,试图以小见大,为大家展示瑞典版画家多元的创作风格。

此次专程从瑞典前来上海参加中华艺术宫的“容量·张力”国际版画展和“瑞典地图”版画展的艾瑞克·赛林1978年生于美国俄亥俄州辛辛那提市,自幼随父母游牧四方,在科罗拉多学院和麻省艺术学院获得版画学士和硕士继续在世界各地游荡和创作。曾获得美国富布莱特学术交流基金到摩洛哥国家美术学院任教,在美国各地,法国,摩洛哥居住,目前和太太和三个孩子定居瑞典哥德堡,在哥德堡国际学校的设计科技,视觉艺术和知识理论系担任系主任,并长期担任哥德堡大学客座讲师以及欧洲国际学校联盟主席等职位。

赛林以用各种回收材料制作纸张,并用丝网和木版,综合材料等处理纸张表面,制作丰富的肌理效果。他的作品以多种形式呈现,包括艺术家手工书,组合拼贴版画和特定场域的空间装置。空间装置本身也被不断回收利用,再次制作成下一个作品。

艾瑞克·赛林将亲临开幕式现场为大家介绍瑞典的风土人情,瑞典版画界现状,以及他自己的创作历程和心得。

To the average Chinese, Sweden seems to be a country far far away, but the exchange between Sweden and China really began 300 years ago. As early as 1732, "Gothenburg", the first merchant ship from Swedish East Indian Company has already set sail for Canton, the first international harbor for Qing China. After many successful voyages, the ship collided with a rock and sank in 1745, and was salvaged by a newly founded Swedish East Indian company in 1993. The new "Gothenburg" was rebuilt and sailed for Canton in 2005, and was now kept on display at Gothenburg City Museum. This China premier of the Swedish prints from Grafik I Vast could be seen as the virgin voyage of our "Art Gothenburg".

Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf's "Nil Holgersson's Wonderful Journey across Sweden" may be the earliest introduction of Swedish culture to Chinese friends. The only writer to win a Nobel Prize in Literature with fairy tales painted a vivid picture of the beautiful landscape of Sweden, its mountains and rivers, countryside and cities, culture and people. This is also what the exhibition wishes to present. This small kingdom of less than 10 million population has cultivated many outstanding scholars and artists. It has also pioneered in a social system which inspired neighboring nations and have come to be known as the "Nordic Model".

Located in the city of Gothenburg, Grafik I Vast was founded in 1991 with its own gallery and studio, and membership of almost 300, most of whom based in Western Sweden, but many are also from other countries. Most members are independent artists and printmaking studios. GIV also collaborates with printmaking organizations and academies all over Europe. Our exhibition will feature a selection of 25 artists' works from GIV,and hopes to give the audience a glimpse into the diversity of Swedish printmaking.

This week, artist Eric Saline has made his way all the way from Gothenburg to Shanghai for the "Capacity·Tension" International Printmaking Exhibition at China Palace Museum and "Map of Sweden" Printmaking Exhibition.Eric received his MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in 2005, and BA from Colorado College in 2000. Eric was born in Cincinnati, OH in 1978 and has been on the move ever since, including a Fulbright Senior Scholar’s Fellowship teaching at Morocco’s National Institute of Fine Art. He has lived all over the USA, France, Morocco and normally lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden as Department Head of Design Technology, Visual Arts and Theory of Knowledge course-areas at Hvitfeldtska Gymnasiet’s International Baccalaureate Organization’s Diploma Programme Section. He has also taught at Akademin Valand in Gothenburg University, and acted as the Chair of the European Council of International Schools Art Committee.

Eric makes his own paper out of recycled materials and uses woodblock and silkscreen prints, as well as paint and other mixed mediums on the surfaces of his paper. He works in a variety of formats, including books, print-collages, and also site-specific installations, with paper as the main-element, but also utilising other materials on occasion. Smaller works, such as prints, magazines and books, provide a shift in scale, but yield a similar feeling of intimacy and discovery for the viewer. In his installation work, Eric uses paper to orchestrate large-scale immersive paper environments, playing off surrounding architectural features, often employing dramatic lighting and shadows to add theatricality. Not only does Eric make his paper from recycled materials, but he also recycles his sculptures after a show is complete by continuing to print, cut and glue, adding surface activity on his papers to reuse in a completely new context in the next show.

Eric Saline will be present at the opening on Nov. 17th to talk about Sweden, Swedish Printmaking, Grafik I Vast, as well as his own works.
