\u201cThe Important Thing Is Not The Meat,\u201d solo exhibition by Gu Dexin. Curator:  Phil Tinari.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ullens Center for Contemporary Art<\/strong><\/a> (798 Art District, No.4 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang, Beijing). Mar 24-May 27, 2012.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Important Thing is Not the Meat\u201d must be one of the most keenly anticipated Chinese shows of 2012. It is a grand exhibition not only by virtue of looking back over the career of Gu Dexin \u2014 very arguably China\u2019s greatest conceptual artist thus far \u2014 but also because Gu himself has, to all accounts, quit art. (Though the artist \u2014 if we may still call him this \u2014 has issued no direct statement on the matter, we can be fairly certain this decision is based on his dislike of the art world in general, and the direction in which he saw it going.) Phil Tinari\u2019s first curatorial occupation of UCCA\u2019s aptly named \u201cGreat Hall,\u201d \u201cThe Important Thing is Not the Meat\u201d sets the bar for his directorship of the organization, and in being a retrospective, offers a kind of exhibition common amongst crowd-pulling Western Kunsthalles but unusual in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nor is it often one sees a massive solo exhibition executed completely sans<\/em> the involvement of the artist and actually against his will (what, we may ask, does this say about the exhibition system from which Gu Dexin chose to eject himself?). He once told Tinari he hated retrospective exhibitions because art \u201chas had nothing to do with him\u201d since his final show (at Beijing\u2019s Galleria Continua) in 2009. He disliked the idea of this one, but \u2014 having placed himself outside the art-world circus \u2014 reserved comment. For Tinari, \u201cIt\u2019s pretty clear that this is something we\u2019re doing simply because we believe it\u2019s important, and that this [artistic] position is one that is under-acknowledged in the overall history of how art developed here in the last 30 years.\u201d  The exercise of choice is twofold: the exit from art on one side, and the decision (in a mode of institutional responsibility) regardless to show it on the other; Gu\u2019s artistic position we must gauge from the assembled works drawn from nearly thirty years of practice \u2014 almost 300 of them in media ranging from paint, plasticine and wood to model cars, animation, Sim-city and monumental sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shows a portion of Gu\u2019s practice before it ostensibly ceased. There has been some backchat about the real breadth of the show perhaps because many of his most arresting installations have literally \u2014 as intended \u2014 rotted away; it is an unavoidable, but nonetheless curatorially negotiable fact. For the exhibition \u201cAsiana\u201d at the 46th Venice Biennale, for example, Gu Dexin occupied an opulent palazzo with a myriad of red plastic beads and three glass coffins each containing 100 kilos of fresh beef, the putrefied stench of which forced its removal after just 3 days. Combing through the UCCA exhibition captions, however, one finds only one overt reference to the splendid inductions of decay Gu created over the years, and even then, it\u2019s soft: \u201cdecomposition\u2026became a recurring motif\u2026 later including gorier substances like pig brains and pig hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the entrance is printed, phantom-like, the artist\u2019s statement from his first show in 1986, \u201cGu Dexin\u2019s Works,\u201d at International House in Beijing: \u201cNow my works are here, together with everyone. Each person will understand and experience them in their own way. And that is precisely my hope.\u201d Surrounding Gu\u2019s powerful conceptual legacy is his original and steadfast \u201cNo Comment.\u201d As visitors, many of whom have never before seen Gu\u2019s art first hand, we must take what we are given here (such is the nature of retrospectives, especially) and make of it what we will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In perhaps the best bit of presentation across the whole show, climbing the wall in an alien column to the ceiling are a collection of Gu\u2019s colored plastic manipulations (1983-85) \u2014 things one imagines might scurry away with a squawk when a light is switched on. Grouped together, this flock of polymer fauna take on a strange sense of life, their forms hardened in embryonic mimicry \u2014 globules, little spaghetti-like heaps, joke-turds, entrails and brittle stalks. Under the glow of the artist\u2019s blowtorch, obedient plastics are mobilized to rebel against becoming bowls, shoes and utensils: the new-fangled functional items then flooding Chinese homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reverting to chronology, the first room snakes through Gu\u2019s early artistic activities: mainly paintings, but also wooden pieces and a series of clay heads of toothed creatures in bright, playful colors. These grin out from a glass case with the blithe ferocity of children\u2019s fiction. On the walls, the paintings, a disparate group of experiments with manners including surrealism, cubism, and abstraction, are an inchoate collection bonded by no uncertain resolve and an evident fearlessness which must later have paved the way for Gu Dexin\u2019s brute-conceptual installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the plunge comes in the next space, where paint and plasticine beget a plethora of figures. There are a couple of paintings which strike us with the sheer sea of beings they contain: swirling shoals of polyps which reach upward with bugle-shaped receptacles. On the opposite wall, pairs of figures with additional heads, breasts and limbs, often mounted on elongated tendrils, occupy domestic or dreamlike situations. However, a second glass case houses the real freaks: bizarre bloated figurines in a putrid pink with layers of breasts and multiple genitalia \u2014 sexualized pupae spliced together, often with several sets of legs and heads emerging simultaneously. The neon-pink \u201cTerracotta Warriors\u201d (2003-4) in a fluorescent tank at the end of the room marry the two figural modes, lanky and squat, in a series of lascivious, hilarious mutations in which beings impregnate each other, give birth, recline and reproduce on miniature furniture objects. For Gu Dexin, this Lilliputian society visualizes the problems of our own; in his own words, those of \u201cthe sexual difference between men and women\u2026 inflicted upon us by social conventions\u2026.\u201d Thanks to Karen Smith\u2019s account of Gu Dexin\u2019s work in her book Nine Lives<\/em>, we know this perverse crowd is kept carefully locked away in cupboards in Gu\u2019s studio \u2014 sheltering, it seems, both the beings themselves and the imagination that conjures them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, just as these eccentric throngs had made their appearance and imparted their collective appeal, so the intimate exhibition room gives way to a giant hall of large installations \u2014 a broad static theater of Gu Dexin\u2019s conceptualism. Clearly dictated by the balance of works obtained for this show, the sudden shift to big works, enlarged both in size and clout from the figurines and paintings, is somewhat disarming. The viewer now finds themselves dwarfed on a monumental field furnished with expansive artistic acts, though created by an artist who never wanted to be a symbol for anything. Gone is the bouncy palette of the toothed and multi-sexed creatures, replaced by chauvinistic red and the gradually expiring glow of thousands of apples dumped on a portion of the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staging extracts of large installations from past exhibitions together inside one massive shed is a difficult task. A cheaply gleaming flagpole shown previously at Shanghai Gallery of Art (2005) lies prostrate like a disembodied spine on the floor. It is attended by scattered apples and the smooth red plinth from which it has been felled; as in Shanghai, it points toward a flat painted field of red hanging on the wall ahead. The whole is astutely unprepossessing. Flanking it on the right-hand wall is the chorus of kitsch dolls who in 2002 (for the exhibition \u201cHarvest\u201d at Beijing\u2019s Agricultural Exhibition Center, sponsored by the city of Qixia) were left to move and sing mechanically until their batteries went flat. Now, of course, amid this environment of retrospective reverence, they are frozen, little arms eerily half-outstretched. In this otherwise still arena, the corner lined with LCD screens each playing a different video drawn from Gu\u2019s Flash animation period in the 2000s provides the only movement. In one series, peculiar fertility hybrids \u2014 a branch of species seen earlier \u2014 flit back and forth on short tracts, floating, flapping and suckling in various shades of ripe pink against blank backgrounds. A second series is more directly sardonic, with stick-figures heads being punched by a mechanical arm on a production line. A third animation features a short sequence of a single shouting figure hurling an object at a screen; each time, a shot goes off from behind the screen in a strange retaliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the opening of \u201cThe Important Thing is Not the Meat,\u201d one wondered how the organizers would go about representing an oeuvre so strongly characterized by installations of fresh flesh and fruit long since rotted away in Venetian palaces, gardens in the Netherlands and in selected Chinese exhibitions. Indeed, it would have been impossible for Gu\u2019s conceptual-art butchery to feature directly here. An undulating square heap of apples gradually decomposing is the chaste progeny of earlier Edens of decay. Hanging on the wall are ranks of gilt-framed colorred exposures of the artist\u2019s hand pinching individual bits of pork; in a glass case before them are labelled tupperware boxes containing the desiccant cuts \u2014 kneaded beyond nourishment and substance like words pronounced over and over until spelling and sense evaporate. It is like an act of attrition against an ordinary organic substance that can stand for many greater battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising like vapor from this exhibition is the tension between the mass and the single idea applied to it, as of people subject to societal mores: an army of 10,000 mini ceramic cars (\u201c2004.05.09\u201d), numerous meat scraps agitated in the same way over time, seething fields of painted figures\u2026. The elephant looming large even in UCCA\u2019s biggest room is that of the artist\u2019s deliberate exit from art\u2019s current apparatus, from the beautification of works in hallowed halls, curatorial kudos: the systems that sanctify works and enroll an audience for them outside individual response. Here, the organizers\u2019 sense of the importance of Gu\u2019s work is tied inextricably to that attached to their own role in promoting powerful art. Minus the blood and gore, the impregnated carcasses and trays of brains, here is an absorbing, sometimes startling view onto the output \u2014 from amateur paintings to the horrific frieze marking his last consensual exhibition \u2014 of undoubtedly one of China\u2019s greatest artists, though his \u201ccontemporary\u201d status applies not to art production now but to a sheltered life in the compound where he grew up. That Gu has left art for good lies here as a potent fact noted, but not addressed. Ultimately and, perhaps, inevitably, this exhibition is in many ways as much about what isn\u2019t here, as what is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
