June is immersed in the business report PPT ocean in the yellow plum rainy season, so the public number this side of the "poor care", please be more inclusive, but even so is busy sneaking to see two exhibitions, first of all, the K11 movie poster art exhibition pushed in the form of video before, learned that this exhibition is because of seeing a digital blogger spring curls of the public number that he likes more. Just in time for the city to adjust conveniently, there is no intention to insert willow to visit the class. And This solo exhibition of Empty Mountain Base was planted a month ago, and finally got its wish yesterday.
After all, I have no resistance to this mechanical beauty, and I have also forwarded the cross-border cooperation video of a plus mobile phone before, and I can't afford to buy the surrounding area without affecting my solo exhibition.
This is the first time I went to the Hao Art Museum, only to find that the original is still quite far, and even did not open the underground garage, the ground circled twice to find the parking space, and then found that the roadside near the entrance seems to be able to park casually?
Purchase tickets on the spot, take the relevant promotional materials and open them. 1st floor exhibition area 130 yuan, including 2 exhibitions; the whole museum pass 150 yuan, can see 5 exhibitions, come and come, just save it 20 pieces. To be honest, I just came for the empty mountain base, and it is no problem to watch only 1 exhibition (in fact, MR. solo exhibition is super cute).
Back to the main topic, the empty mountain base exhibition is called "Metropolis", as the title says, it is the first large-scale institutional solo exhibition in China (here I also checked the information for half a day about the specifications of the exhibition, because I feel that many exhibitions are similar to the "first store" economy of the mall, and it seems that there must be a convincing enough name). Next is the official content introduction:
This exhibition includes the artist's work from the 1970s to the present. In addition to a systematic introduction to Kōyamaji's continuous practice in painting, sculpture, installation, and other fields, it also includes the artist's recent new works.
The whole exhibition is divided into 6 work areas, and after passing through the ticket gate of the gate, it is the first large-scale work "Untitled_Large Suspension Machinery Ji". It may be difficult to see the scale of this work in the aerial photos, the actual height is 5.88 meters, thanks to the ultra-wide angle that has become the standard for mobile phones, otherwise it is difficult to take a close shot of this work.
The work was first exhibited at the reopened Shibuya PARCO, and I am still interested in presenting iconic works by well-known artists in public spaces.

For example, the works of Julian Opé, which have long been located in BFC and previously briefly exhibited on Nanjing West Road.
Back in the pavilion, go to the second area and create a chronology. This section uses a timeline to present a brief introduction to the empty mountain base and important works.
Some of them are works that I've seen since I was a student but didn't know it was produced by Kuzanji, such as the album sleeve designed for the band AEROSMITH (although I didn't buy this album), and aibo, a robot dog that works with faith.
In recent years, as I have gone deep into the business field, I will also see more cases of business cooperation with artists, in 2019, DIOR's cooperation with Kongshanji moved the giant Sexy Robot into Chengdu Ocean Taikoo Li, and it was deployed in the ancient building of Guangdong Guild Hall, this sense of contrast of physical scale and the sense of crossing of the time dimension constituted the top picture of the visual and connotation presentation of commercial activities in my mind.
And in the timeline found that the artist in my Thai blind pocket series one of the most beloved malls Central Embassy has also presented large-scale works of art, feeling the taste of the same (who and who cast Oh ...). ）。
The 2019 Untitled_Large-Scale _TREX, located outside the Central Embassy, is also presented in this exhibition.
The third area is the robotized biological painting from the 1980s to 2018. This lie shows some mechanized paintings based on dinosaurs, but because the Rex Tyrannosaurus rex next to it is so eye-catching, I only took a long-range view of the flat work.
"Untitled_ Large _TREX", that is, the one exhibited by Shang'wen in the Central Embassy, has also seen friends po pictures on social media before, and the photos are indeed difficult to show the scale of the scene, 11 meters long, 3.74 meters high, and the indoor space is even more huge, which is also the fourth major exhibit of this exhibition.
The fifth exhibit area presents the largest series of exhibits in the entire exhibition, the "Mechanical Ji" sculpture and painting from 1978 to 2020. Here you can see a variety of modeling mechanical Ji sculptures of realistic proportions, and it is also the most abundant area of works in the entire exhibition area (even if the absolute number is not very large), including the giant mechanical Ji shape in the DIOR show.
2015 "Mechanical Ji _ Life-size Standing Model _A"
2018 "Mechanical Ji _ Walking"
2018 "Mechanical Ji _ Life-size Sitting Model _B"
2020 'Mechanic Ji_ Looking at the Sunshine
I personally feel the reason I like Khlong Sanji in this area is not only the futurism embodied in the metallic texture, but also the artist's ability to express the dynamic effect with static installations (as if, looking, she will move in the next second).
It is worth mentioning that this area is simply tailor-made for practicing composition, when I go it is a weekday afternoon, there are not many people, but many times it is difficult for you to deal with the picture relationship between people and robots, so it is best to think of the composition first, and then wait, wait for the empty scene.
The last exhibit area, Gimmick, "Suspended Mechanical Ji" series of works, through 4 sculptures combined with the mirror surface to create the sci-fi effect of the Infinite Mirror House, both shocking and interesting, you need to pay attention to avoid reflection when taking pictures.
After the end, I found that I did not see the peripheral product pop-up store, and later learned from other public account tweets that it was located on the 3rd floor, but unfortunately I did not go up.
The reason why I prefer the works of Kong Shanji, on the one hand, is because there are many commercial cooperation cases, which can often be "met", such as Li Ning in China some time ago.
More importantly, the sense of morphological beauty and balance embodied in his works is truly addictive, and interested friends are worth visiting.
