The much-anticipated Venice Biennale officially kicked off in June, and then began to be exhibited to the public. The flow of people seems to have suddenly skyrocketed, and I don't know where these people usually hide, as if the wind and thunder on the ground came out of which corner and jumped into the bustling vanity fair of the Venice Biennale.

People in China are more familiar with the Venice Film Festival, because a Chinese director went back with a golden lion at this film festival. But the film festival is only a small unit of the Venice Biennale, and there are other kinds of art, photography, installation art, performance art, architecture and so on. That is to say, almost everything you want to see, and what you don't want to see, will jump in front of you and say hello to you; hello!

Now the last thing Fang Yi wants to see is a few nonsense so-called modern sculptures at the entrance of his exhibition hall. In Fang Yi's opinion, this thing doesn't match the sculpture at all, not only does it not match, but it is also 108,000 miles away. The two friends, Ruud and Artur, also think that these few boxes are!

Every day, as soon as he arrived, Fang Yi had to struggle with a few boxes in his heart! The three boxes are ordinary square boxes, the outside is transparent plexiglass, and the inside is colorful women's underwear, or pulled with red thin steel wire, or picked with a white stick, and some are sandwiched with white clips, looking at these three small square boxes, it is like being in the dressing room backstage of a nightclub, which makes Fang Yi extremely unhappy.

A white 'sculptor' in his forties is explaining his creative philosophy to the crowd of visitors. This concept Fang Yi listened to this one on the first day of the three, what is beautiful and what is meaningful. Fang Yi didn't see it directly.

"Every time I see this person, I have an urge to pick up my phone and call the police!" Fang Yi turned his head to Altur beside him and said.

Artur laughed in a low voice when he heard this: "This thing is just grandstanding, and I want to gain the approval of others in this way." As for art, I don't see anything! ”。

Fang Yi said jokingly: "I can see it." This person should go to the psychiatrist, obsessed with this thing is a disease! ”。

Hehe! The two of them whispered as they walked towards their stall.

When he arrived at the door, Fang Yi raised his eyes and looked at the sign at the door, which said Linearism, and below was the names of himself, Ruud and Artur, and the photo. After Fang Yi's name. Printed with a bright five-star red flag, identifying one's nationality. Similarly, Artur and Ruud are followed by their own nationalities.

When I walked to the door, I looked at the flag on the sign and there seemed to be a little dust on it. Fang Yi wiped it twice with his hand, and then raised his legs and walked in when he looked bright and bright.

Entering his small stall, Fang Yi saw seven or eight people looking at the works of the three of them, and Rude was talking about his creative ideas to a slightly chubby girl. There are also my own thoughts when I was creating at that time.

For this slightly chubby and busty female. Ruud has a natural hobby! Fang Yi and the others are not surprised, if it is a Chinese, Fang Yi may think that this person has crossed over from the Tang Dynasty, and his taste is definitely different from ordinary people.

After turning around, someone asked Altur a question, and Fang Yi stood alone for a while, seeing that no one asked him, so he didn't bother to get in front of others. Pull someone to tell something! He turned out the door again and began to wander around.

As soon as it was opened to the public, Fang Yi, as an exhibitor, naturally did not have to spend money to buy tickets. With your own pass, you can see everywhere. So I have seen a lot of pavilions these days, and I have a great impression of this Venice Biennale.

If we evaluate it according to the two criteria of reliability and nonsense, Fang Yi believes that the Biennale in this world, in terms of art alone, is 20% reliable and 80% nonsense. And Fang Yi thought that Ruud was really wronged by being rejected by the Dutch National Pavilion.

There is evidence for this, just yesterday, Fang Yi saw a work, a sculpture depicting a character is! Seeing this East and West Fang Yi was immediately shocked, the character's organs were portrayed obviously, the hands on the organs were obvious, and the liquid flying out of the organs was also exaggerated, rotating around the characters, just like the long colored stripes swinging in the hands of athletes playing rhythmic gymnastics, which was quite eye-catching, and also made Fang Yi speechless for a while!

Such a private matter was presented in front of him, and looking at the figure of the sculpture figure was still intoxicated, as soon as he looked leisurely, the hairs on Fang Yi's back stood up. And it's the work of a famous artist!

As for what kind of bullshit performance art, Fang Yi didn't want to mention it at all, and even suspected that it would not take a few realms for these spirits to stage primitive hand-to-hand combat at the Biennale, which was used to attract the public's attention and satisfy the public's sensory stimulation.

Of course, in addition to these things that Fang Yi looks quite fucked up, there are still some works worth seeing, such as the design of national pavilions in some countries, as well as the works of several artists of Liao Liao, but Fang Yi has not seen a young artist who can make his eyes shine, or his brain brighten.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to pick up something from these artists who are not yet famous, relying on what is in their heads! However, Fang Yi thinks that he hasn't finished reading it yet, and there is still hope!

Walking briskly through some piles of stones placed on the white square platform, it is better to say that Fang Yi is walking, it is better to say that Fang Yi is fleeing! The whole stone formed naturally by different sizes is placed on a white square platform, and it becomes a 'art'! And there were still some people around who nodded their heads in contemplation, and Fang Yi who was watching wanted to vomit in his heart!

As soon as he escaped from here, Fang Yi felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

"What's the matter! Artur" Fang Yi glanced at the phone in his hand and picked it up.

"A critic wants to give us an interview, come back soon!" Artur said on the other end of the phone.

Fang Yi listened and said: Come right away, and hang up the phone directly. Walk towards your little stall.

When he returned to his small booth, Fang Yi saw the French critic Jean who was standing with Ruud and Artur. Claire.

Fang Yizhi said that this critic found that this critic's views on modern art were in some ways similar to his own group. Jean, exactly? Claire is a modern art critic who swears people in art magazines with her voice in her voice.

Of course, it is not easy to read the critic's book, because when he writes criticism, he is very fond of hanging his bookbag, that is to say, he likes to quote scriptures, sometimes French and sometimes Latin, or German or something. His words are very sharp, and he has no mercy on modern works of art that he doesn't look at.

"Mr. Claire! This is our friend. Square! Rude introduced Fang Yi.

Looking at Rude's expression, Fang Yi guessed that Rude had a good conversation with this thorn ball in the art critics' world!

"Your work puts me in a good mood! I think it's the most distinctive work of the Biennale! Of course, when I say characteristic, I'm not talking about sensational, disgusting gestures! Claire shook hands with Fang Yi. Just talk about the works of the three people!

Fang Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, he really didn't expect this thorn ball to have such a positive attitude towards the three of them!

"Thank you!".

"Don't be pretentious, just rely on the emotions on the canvas to infect me! This is the best art I've seen in years! Claire continued to compliment.

With such an opening, the rest of the conversation will go much smoother. Even Artur, who has always been not very good at words in the face of the living, showed enthusiasm.

Talked about it for a while. The four of them simply sat on the head of the mushroom and began to chat together, everyone chatted about creation and ideas, while Claire held a small recorder in her hand, and from time to time pointed to the works on the wall to ask questions to the creator. It's not quite like an interview, it's like a small salon. And Claire's questioning also covered many aspects, and even where everyone lived now was also asked.

When the visit is followed the next day. Claire took two friends to the three's stall, and then introduced Fang Yi to the two friends, and then visited the three of them's works.

After the second day. Claire disappeared from Fang Yi's sight. And then Fang Yi and the three of them started the normal procedure, changing to watch the exhibition and then someone asked a question to explain their creation, so that a week passed step by step.

"Yi!" Anders held a magazine in his hand, and when he saw Fang Yi, who was about to go out from the small stall, he greeted him loudly directly. The sound caused visitors looking at the panty version of the modern sculpture in the venue to look up at Anders.

Anders and Ben didn't notice the people next to them, and quickened their pace towards their friend's stall.

"What is so much fun!" Fang Yi was pulled back to the stall door by Anders and asked.

"Look at this!" Anders put the magazine in his hand into Fang Yi's hand, and then beckoned Artur and Ruud to come over and read it together.

On the cover is a group photo of the five people, Fang Yi and Anders squatting, and half-standing are Ruud, Artur and Kahima, this photo is provided by Zou Heming. The one taken in New York during the first national exhibition. But now it's on the cover of Artactuel magazine. There is also a line on the cover: Young linealist artists living in the countryside!

In the article, let? Claire praised the linearism style: unlike the other works at the Venice Biennale, and unlike the art trickster who wraps a twig around a wire and tells you that this is art! We can see in the works of the five artists that they have a profound painting foundation, intertwined and powerful, and the colors are bright and thick, which is the basic language of their works. The use of color is their weapon, right down to my heart! Whether it's human nature or landscape models, the five have a unique perspective to listen to their .......

The whole article is an affirmation of the works of Fang Yi and several people! For example, he praised several later works of several people, and directly said that linearism has been truly established in the art world.

For such praise, Fang Yi and the others were of course very happy, and the number of people who visited their stalls began to increase one by one. Many of them are critics, and some even have a little nitpicky idea of what Claire is talking about about the artist.

The second positive article came from a German art magazine, and then some critics from Spain and Italy gave five very good reviews! Where there is praise, there is criticism, and as much praise as there is, so will the criticism!

Whether it is criticism or praise, in short, it is the five people who are slowly becoming popular, as can be seen from the small stall of the three people now, as well as the number of people in front of the works exhibited by Khima and Anders in the National Pavilion.

Now the name of linearism is beginning to rise at the Biennale with praise and criticism! (To be continued......)
