有人打乱了这些玫瑰
2023.9.9-2024.1.18
有人将这些玫瑰花融入到BMCA所在地——北极阁山的历史和现实语境中，考察它在中国气象科学演变中所发挥的关键作用。展览脱离了博物馆所在地的光谱氛围，将来自六个国家的约 20 名艺术家、建筑师和研究人员创作了一系列与这一历史血统相关的艺术作品，并为无处不在的气候危机现实提供了不同的视角。
北极阁是南京与中国历史与现实的交汇点。它交织了多种元素，包括古代神话/道教传统、节气/农业活动、现代气象科学/中国现代化进程中的知识分子（如北极阁中央气象台创始人竺可桢），以及民间国防项目/消费空间，共同创造了一个复杂、暧昧和浪漫的环境。博物馆现有的空间进一步巩固了这一本质，将山地地形、防空洞和“白立方”画廊环境融为一体。展览力求通过图像和声音来描绘这个被压缩的瞬间，提炼出风、雨、云等动态意象，从对这种现象的感知，演变成数据云的无形存在，最终演变成文化和文化。政治天气和整体气候。
建筑师杨乃田对展览空间的编排创造了一种与现有混凝土结构协调并与天气本身的振荡节奏产生共鸣的体验。在天气和气候问题已经超越理论话语，成为紧迫现实的时代，展览力求将人和天气融入到同一个流动的、不稳定的、关键的状态中。展览中的艺术品暗示了通常所说的“恶劣天气”，但“好/坏”的二元概念不再适用于我们对天气的判断。超越以人为中心的视角，混乱的综合体成为天气的常态，“好”和“坏”在这里结合在一起。它渗透到存在的各个方面，无论是活着的还是死后的。
Beyond engaging individuals and their shared sensibilities, this intermezzo mode of viewing unfolds as a more expansive synecdoche for the structural contradictions embedded in Li Ran’s artistic practice. These contradictions manifest in the interplay between film and painting, between text as writing/reading and image as analog/production, between self-performance and reflexive viewing, between the internal and external mechanisms of the art world, between autonomy and heteronomy—among many others. More crucially, however, moving beyond these intermezzo contradictions compels us to step back and confront a “total theater” —one in which we are all, inevitably, cast as participants. At this very juncture in the 21st century, what roles are we destined to play? Are we merely enacting the figure of a little artist of our time, or are we stepping into the role of a general artist? And how, then, should we perform?
