展览提要 | Preview of The Exhibition

没有谁能对“时间”给出准确定义，除了艺术家。

被誉为继爱因斯坦后最杰出的、同时也是迄今为止最“网红”的物理学家霍金告诉人们：时间就是距离和速度。这解释了时间的物质属性。

艺术家不对时间进行概念定义。所有抽象的概念，最好的定义方式是：呈现。就像在告诉小朋友什么是红色的时候，把红色摆到他面前就能解决问题。

因此准确地说，计文于、毛唯辛的这个展览，不是在探究时间是什么，而是在呈现：是什么才让时间显得珍贵、显得有意义、或者显得很虚无。

他们没有写答案，他们是用“时间”作为撬点，表现了“时间”可以用来怎么做、可以怎么折腾“时间”这个概念。

《时间简史》用内容变化表明了时间具有长度，同时也表明了在有一定长度之后，内容变化通常具有滑稽或反讽的意味。自古以来、古今中外，莫过于此。

《这也是时间》消解了时间的线性，转而呈现时间的不确定性，多个走时紊乱而无规律时钟（所谓用来计量时间的法宝）只有同时存在，才成为证明彼此的注脚。亦可理解为：即使在同一空间内，时间也有不同的呈现方式以及计量方式。“就在这个房间里，你的时间内容和走势，和我并不相同。”

《画出此时此刻躺着的阳光》是表达“时间具有线性和重复性”的一次现场实验。它把概念进行了物化的表达。计文于在这作品中仍然带有他一贯的七分熟的幽默。

内容的变化，是证明时间存在的PH试纸。就像海洋里的两滴水，你怎么证明哪滴是一万年前的哪滴是一年前的？又比如在太空中，一年前和一年后，又有什么计量的意义？

因而，失去了内容，时间何为？价值何为？时间=time？此处time意为“此刻、当下”。

艺术家对时间定义之所以准确，就源自艺术家是呈现“内容”。计文于毛唯辛对“时间”感兴趣的，就在于“内容变化”本身。

所以，帕斯捷尔纳克诗句“一日长于百年”，并不仅是文学的修辞，也是对本次展览的一个注解。

No one can give an accurate definition of "time", except the artists.

Stephen William Hawking, who was the most outstanding physicist after Einstein and also the most "internet - sensation" so far, told people that time is distance and speed, which explains the material properties of time.

Artists do not define the concept of time. The best way to define all abstract concepts is to present them. Just like when telling children what red is, all you have to do is present red in front of them.

Therefore, to be precise, this exhibition by Ji Wen-yu and Mao Wei-xin is not for exploring what time is, but for presenting what makes time seem precious, meaningful or empty.

They didn't write the answer. They used "time" as a pry point, showing the concept of how "time" can be spent to do things and what to do with "time".

“A Brief History of Time” shows that time has a length with changes in content, and also shows that after a certain length, changes in content usually have funny or ironic meanings. There is nothing more than this at all times and in all over the world.

"This is Also Time" dispels the linearity of time and turns to the uncertainty of time. Only when multiple irregular clocks (the so-called magic weapon used to measure time) exist at the same time can they become footnotes to prove each other. It can also be understood that even in the same space, time has different presentation methods and measurement methods. "in this room, your time content and trend are not the same as mine."

“Keep on Copying The Sun Light That is Lying on The Ground at This Moment” is an on-site experiment that expresses "linearity and repeatability of time". It materialized the concept.As usual, Ji Wen-yu still has his great sense of humor in this work.

The change of content is the PH test paper that proves the existence of time.Just like two drops of water in the ocean, how do you prove which drop was 10,000 years ago and which drop was a year ago? For instance, in space, a year ago and a year later, what is the significance of measurement?

As a result, if lost content, what is the time? What is the value? Time = time?(Time here means "right now, at present".

The artists’ definition of time is accurate because they present "content".What interests Ji Wen-yu and Mao wei-xin about "Time" is the "Content Change" itself.

Therefore, "Eternal, endless is the day" from Boris Pasternak's poem is not only a rhetoric of literature, but also an annotation to this exhibition.
