Zhao Junning patted his head. "Oh, I actually ignored it, if it caused a beautiful woman to be bitten, it would be a real sin."

"What lacquer bites?" I was confused.

"The main raw material for the creation of lacquer painting is lacquer, lacquer allergy is commonly known as 'lacquer bite', most people who come into contact with lacquer will have more or less allergic reactions, a small number of people are never allergic, and a small number of people are very serious once they are allergic." Xiao Se knows very well, "So when the teacher starts the class, he will generally put a bowl of lacquer on the podium first, so that the lacquer molecules are dispersed in the air, if the student has allergies, then the teacher will advise him not to study this course, because the student in the process of lacquer painting, not only will he come into contact with the lacquer molecule in the air, but it is also difficult to avoid physical contact, and people with sensitive skin will not be able to stand it." ”

"You also learn lacquer painting?" I couldn't help but ask.

"No, just interested, understood." Xiao Se glanced at me with a smile, "What, do you think I'm knowledgeable?" ”

I snorted, not bothering to pay attention to him.

Fang Zinan closed the door and went out. Xiao Se and I went to Zhao Junning's studio and sat down for a while. The so-called studio is two rooms, one of which is used for painting, with easels and various tools and paints, and a simple bed in the corner. In the other room, there are many odd-shaped clay-fired objects.

There is a dragon kiln in the vicinity, and these strange pottery objects are fired in it. Zhao Junning touched a pottery product in front of us like a treasure, and it is said that the work is called "Meat on a Plate", after he did a performance art in an art space on the island, went to the vegetable market to buy a piece of meat, and found a suitable plate to hold it. This piece of meat is not used to eat, but to see and think, in exchange for the organ that feels the meat.

After five days of exhibition, the fresh meat on the plate was brought back as a shriveled and foul-smelling piece of meat. The meat was transformed into a ceramic work as planned, and the production process was a bit complicated, requiring two different processes, silicone and gypsum. The meat is first turned into a silicone mold, and after being poured out, the gypsum mold is turned into a plaster mold, which must be filled with soil first, divided into several different demoldable surfaces, and finally formed a ceramic gypsum mold. Zhao Junning spent a week marinating and drying the meat before stir-frying and eating it, which he said was also a form of performance art that accelerated the process of rotting the meat.

I felt sick to my stomach for a while, Zhao Junning actually ate the dirty stinky meat that smelled foul and was coated with silicone.

Zhao Junning continues to interpret the connotation of his works with great interest: the meat on the plate is a bit similar to the human condition, and it is difficult to escape from bloodiness and corruption, and this characteristic has caused many current situations, including the topic of nature and war, and the confusion about the whole way of human existence, should human beings reconsider some of their own practices? It may need to be revisited.

It sounds like some truth, but I can't understand this kind of performance art. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Xiao Se first said that we still have something to do, and it is time to go.

Zhao Junning had no choice but to send us out, and kept saying that he would come back when he was free, and he had a lot of ideas to share with us.

Xiao Se took me to Ye Zihan's house. "People who do art are a little weird." On the way, he smiled and said, but when he realized something, he immediately changed his words, "I mean to engage in performance art like Zhao Junning." Everything else is relatively normal, especially the ballet, which is very elegant and noble. ”
