木木美术馆（798馆）

策展人：王宗孚，木木美术馆艺术总监兼首席策展人

为了能与他人拥有一段真正的关系，你可能须承受被视为“怪胎”的代价。——詹姆斯·鲍德温

“夜虹”是巴基斯坦裔美国艺术家萨勒曼·图（Salman Toor）在亚洲的美术馆个展。在首席策展人王宗孚与萨勒曼·图两年间的密切合作和沟通下，木木美术馆将为观众带来一次期待已久的艺术家个展。从其“博物馆绘画”系列中的博物馆学讽喻以及对帝国主义殖民历史的指涉，到夜色下的全景式风景绘画——画中的自然景色为少数群体提供了庇护和可能性，展览将呈现艺术家新近创作的27幅绘画和23件纸上作品。

本次展览聚焦萨勒曼·图创作中的几个关键主题。艺术家从个人生活经验和视角出发，通过移民、酷儿、后殖民主义等议题中展开对情感、性别和身份认同的探讨与思考。此外，萨勒曼·图将南亚地区的艺术表达与欧洲古典绘画技巧巧妙地融于其单色调的绘画之中，运用讽喻——尤其是对“东方主义”绘画的解构——来描绘日常生活中的私密瞬间和南亚离散群体的生活经历。本次展览旨在通过这些作品构建一个包容的场域，引起本地观众对这些议题的思考和讨论。

萨勒曼·图：

我非常高兴能够在木木美术馆举办展览，并对此深感荣幸。在将于中国展出的新作品中，我试图探讨关于自爱的叙事性表达以及对于差异性的认知，将其作为“全球南方”不同文化间的一种对话。我非常期待与美术馆观众分享这些创作中的收获。

卢赫灵·奥古斯汀画廊（Luhring Augustine Gallery）：

萨勒曼·图在木木美术馆举办在中国的美术馆个展，卢赫灵·奥古斯丁画廊对此甚感荣幸。我们非常期待此次艺术家和策展人王宗孚共同筹划的展览。萨勒曼极具洞察力、私密且细腻的绘画和纸上作品将第一次与北京的观众见面，同时也将为木木美术馆一直以来出色且具有深度的展览项目带来独特而重要的新声音与新视角。

王宗孚：

爱是生活中不可或缺的重要元素。在某些群体中，爱这一简单行为却也可以成为找寻自我和归属感的激进表达。艺术家萨勒曼·图在其单色调的绘画中描绘南亚离散人群和酷儿群体的日常生活场景，展现爱这一情感的复杂性和多元性。萨勒曼·图在其绘画中熟练地运用轻柔的绿色笔触，促使观者思索艺术如何作为探索性别、历史、殖民主义和种族的载体和媒介。

Salman Toor: New Paintings and Drawings

17 December 2022 – 9 March 2023

M WOODS 798

Curated at M WOODS by Victor Wang, Artistic Director and Chief Curator, M WOODS, and Qi Yuanlin, Assistant Curator, M WOODS.

In order to have a real relationship with somebody you have got to take the risk of being thought, God forbid, ‘an oddball.’ (James Baldwin)

Salman Toor: New Paintings and Drawings is the first solo museum presentation in Asia of Pakistan-born, New York-based artist Salman Toor. For the last two years, Toor has worked closely with M WOODS’ Artistic Director, Victor Wang, to develop an ambitious solo show for Beijing that critically examines specific topics that converge in Toor’s work, from museological allegories and imperialist histories depicted by Toor’s 'Fag Puddles', to his nocturnal panoramic landscapes that both give shelter , through a selection of 27 new paintings and 23 new works on paper.

For this exhibition, several key constellations and themes from Toor’s paintings and drawings have been selected to help to articulate how the artist navigates perspectives on immigration, citizenship, and the queer experience, for example, as events in his paintings that are framed by memory, gender, and identity. Through the use of allegory, especially by repurposing the legacy of Oriental painting, Toor intelligently weaves together South Asian painterly expression with European Old Master techniques in monochromes of colour that softly portray the everyday intimacy and lived experiences of the South Asian diaspora. These works and themes have been selected for display to help to stimulate important discussions locally and to provide a space for a critical openness to develop and take effect.

From Salman Toor:

I’m excited and honored to be showing at M Woods! In the new body of work that I am preparing to present in China, I am exploring narratives of self-love and the perception of difference as a conversation among the cultures of the Global South. I look forward to sharing it with the museum’s audience.

From Luhring Augustine Gallery:

Luhring Augustine Gallery is delighted that the first solo museum exhibition of Salman Toor’s work in China will be presented at M Woods, and we are greatly looking forward to the show that the artist and curator Victor Wang are organizing. Salman’s insightful, intimate, and exquisitely articulated paintings and works on paper will find an engaged new audience in Beijing, thus adding a unique and important voice to the consistently impressive and thoughtful programming at M Woods.

From Victor Wang:

Love is an important element in life. For some communities, the simple act of loving is also a radical act of self-discovery and belonging. Salman Toor is an artist who embraces the complexities of love, beautifully painting monochromatic scenes of intimate experiences of the queer community and the everyday lived experiences of the South Asian diaspora. Salman Toor’s paintings allows us to contemplate how art can also be a vehicle in exploring concepts of gender, history, colonialism, and race through the brushstrokes of green that he so masterfully employs on the canvas. We are very honoured to curate and develop Toor’s first solo museum exhibition in Asia.

*More information about the exhibition will be released in the following weeks.
