 《灰烬的光辉》当代艺术展在汉堡巴尔拉赫纪念美术馆隆重启幕，中德艺术对话叩问人类命运终极命题

今日，《灰烬的光辉》当代艺术展于德国汉堡市中心的巴尔拉赫纪念美术馆（BARLACH HALLE） 正式开幕。作为德国著名艺术家恩斯特·巴尔拉赫的专属纪念场馆，该美术馆承载着德国现代艺术史的重要记忆——巴尔拉赫在德国艺术领域的标杆地位，堪比毕加索之于西班牙、梵高之于荷兰，其艺术思想与创作实践深刻影响了德国现代艺术的发展轨迹。此次展览以跨文化艺术对话为核心，集中呈现中国与德国当代艺术家的代表性作品，为德国观众搭建起理解中西方当代艺术美学的重要桥梁。

本次参展艺术家包括中国艺术家区志航、罗必武与德国艺术家Gerd Leins戈鲁，其作品均聚焦人类发展进程中的核心学术命题：战争与和平的辩证关系、生与死的形而上学思辨，以及人类命运的终极价值叩问，彰显了当代艺术家对人类共同议题的学术关怀与艺术表达。

开幕仪式上，策展人戈鲁从艺术史学与创作方法论角度，系统阐释了四位艺术家的学术成就与创作脉络，深入剖析作品背后的思想内核；联合策展人、德国资深策展人Rolf Krieger则以空间美学理论为切入点，幽默且严谨地解读了本次展览的布展逻辑，重点分析了空间叙事与作品语义的共生关系，以及不同文化背景艺术家作品之间的跨文化对话机制，为在场观众提供了专业的学术视角。

著名中德英三语主持人罗伟哲（德国籍，曾就读于南京大学、北京大学汉语专业）以专业的跨文化传播素养完成主持与翻译工作，其精准的语义转换与深度的学术解读，确保了中德艺术家、嘉宾及观众对展览主题思想与作品内涵的透彻理解，有效推动了跨文化艺术交流的深度落地。

开幕当晚的学术延伸活动与艺术演绎环节亮点突出：德国主流电视台知名主持人Bedo 对每位参展艺术家进行专题学术专访，深入，挖掘作品的创作语境与学术价值，且会制作成视频在电视节目中播放；中国著名现代舞艺术家林婷婷以身体叙事为媒介，创新呈现展览主题的现代舞导览，通过肢体语言诠释作品中的人类共同情感；著名舞蹈艺术家马宁用极具文化辨识度的藏族舞蹈艺术，为现场嘉宾与观众献上兼具文化礼仪与艺术美感的祝福演绎，成为跨文化艺术交流的生动注脚。此外，著名DJ安德烈亚斯团队的现场演绎将氛围推向高潮，嘉宾们在艺术与音乐的交融中自由交流，践行了“艺术无国界，音乐无极限”的跨文化交流理念。

展览期间，系列高端学术活动持续展开：艺术史学博士Dr. Marc Cremer、汉堡大学亚非学院文化艺术学者倪少峰、德国策展人Rolf Krieger、史学家暨哲学家Andreas Ehlers等多位学术权威，分别对四位参展艺术家进行深度学术专访，从艺术史脉络、文化研究视角及哲学思辨维度提出专业性学术建议，为艺术家的创作实践与展览的学术深化提供了重要支撑。

此次《灰烬的光辉》当代艺术展取得圆满成功，不仅为德国观众带来了蕴含东方式全球化整体性宇宙观的艺术表达，更以跨文化艺术对话的形式，为中德当代艺术交流注入新的学术活力，让德国艺术史学界与批评界感受到中国当代艺术的独特魅力与思想深度。正如艺术学术领域的共识：艺术的高度，始终取决于艺术家对人类社会的认知深度、内心精神的博大格局，以及艺术视角的广度与学术厚度。

Gerd Leins

本次展览的艺术家Gerd Leins 将展出的作品系列作品《战争镜像》以及《死亡讣告》，都是关于死亡的思考，唯有直面死亡的民族才是哲学的，才真的会仰望神性的光辉！只有思考死亡的个体才是真正诗意的敬畏的！艺术家Gerd Leins 是二战后出生的德国人，他对人类的战争有着深刻的认知与哲思，他曾说在他五十岁之前，他都為自己是德国人而深深自责，忏悔之心一直啃啃噬着他，让他十分的焦虑和忧伤，直到近几年才刚刚缷下心灵的重担！做为诗人艺术家，Gerd Leins 象诗人里尔克，象诗人保罗·策兰一样，忧伤到骨头里去，做为生而为人而深深的歉意，对于人类犯下的罪，从集体到个人到民族到家国，撕裂感让诗人身心俱疲！《战争镜像》系列创作在俄乌战争之后，那些在战斗中消失的年轻鲜活的面孔，击打观者的内心，成为一地碎片，在西伯利亚的天寒地冻中，我们眼中是冰冷的骨头，如磐石般坚硬！人类！为什么争端不息，那些无辜者的骨头在消失的面孔之后，堆积如山。艺术家Gerd Leins 用他厚重而又明丽的色彩红黄蓝，冷峻而又深沉的构建出纪念碑一样的仪式！向在战争中消失的孩子们默哀！

The Radiance of Ashes

After the salvation of light

Your millions of confessions

Accomplished in one go

The great redemption

The seed of fire

The radiance of ashes

Like a lighthouse

Pointing to poetry and the distance

Human beings ought to move toward the great light

Those words of God

And the vivid faces

Engraved on the tablet of the heart

The reverent heart prostrates itself on the earth

Looking up at the sky of history

Every moment is a junction of fleeting years

The course of human civilization

A sharp sword

Piercing the opposite side of all things

Eternity has long been overflowing

Every pair of eyes praying for peace

The dove of peace

Holy as snow

Flying over the memories of darkness

No matter how fragile we are

We endure the pain with fortitude

For justice, fairness, freedom, equality, and respect

Are waiting in the daytime

Surpassing the king of death

Ou Zhihang

Ou Zhihang, an exhibiting artist in this exhibition, is a recipient of the World Press Photo Award—a weighty honor that represents recognition and immense respect for this contemporary artist, serving as a great inspiration. Over more than 20 years, Ou Zhihang has conducted his performance art "Push-Ups" nearly 1,800 times across the globe. With his pure body and a heart filled with love and compassion, he has recorded major landmarks and events in human history—those junctions that altered the course of human history, inscribed in the testimony of every historical process. This work carries strong news value, historical significance, and the critical spirit of realism.

In his art, the artist establishes connections with time, geography, architecture, and the environment; through his flesh-and-blood body, vivid physique, and spirit, he links with history, humanity, morality, emotions, heaven, and earth. In those moments, he transcends the boundaries of time, the world, and history, sublimating and soaring instantaneously. Dasein, instant! It not only achieves an epic narrative creation but also fulfills the posture and existence of an individual artist in the cosmic firmament. Behind this, countless emotional and rational nerves extend into multi-dimensional time and space, drawing viewers in—making them not just observers, but participants, and even co-creators.

Landmark buildings in the development of human civilization, such as the Statue of Liberty, the Berlin Wall, the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Hypocenter, and the Palace Museum under winter snow, are more than just architectures. They embody the core value of the underlying logic of geographical criticism, representing the long, profound stories of human existence and development, the dual sides of a sharp blade, and the various fateful turning points deeply embedded in the human journey. Ou Zhihang’s performance art traces have been left in over 1,800 such places. The behavioral facts he records through images are both frozen and flowing—they are the mirror and anti-mirror of human history, an eternal gaze that penetrates the soul.

This feat, spanning time and space, is a collision of courage and passion—a result of the artist devoting nearly 20 years to pushing the long river of history to the four corners of the earth. Ou Zhihang will continue to create more works with his pure body and heart, coexisting with heaven and earth, shining with the sun and moon, and standing side by side with history. He leaves humanity with opportunities to re-examine history with insight, prompting self-reflection. Naturally, his works carry a certain critical nature and a strong sense of vigilance, boasting powerful artistic appeal, as well as artistic, historical, and social value.

Luo Biwu

Luo Biwu, a Chinese contemporary artist exhibiting in The Radiance of Ashes, possesses extraordinary artistic accomplishment and humanistic quality. First and foremost, he is an outstanding printmaker in China, having won numerous awards. His inheritance of artistic traditions and mastery of professional skills have reached the pinnacle of perfection; in terms of innovation, he has achieved groundbreaking breakthroughs not only in materials but also in content and concepts.

Luo Biwu excels at juxtaposing ordinary daily objects with major events in human history—such as wars, weapons, submarines, and fighter jets, ranging from cold weapons to nuclear weapons—resetting all these elements in a dissolution tank. Oh, the sins of humanity! A bathtub can cleanse the body, but how can it wash away the stain of sin? Though these objects seem unrelated on the surface, they harbor a profound metaphor: amid absurdity, they reveal the truth of history and humanity, allowing the light of truth to shine through.

Furthermore, Luo Biwu’s works offer a "perspective of God." Humanity is like actors on a stage set in a bathtub—engaged in competition, conflict, war, and confrontation, rising and falling, drowning in sin. His works present a post-modern depiction of humanity expelled from the Garden of Eden. Whether it is his Looking Back series or Emerging Events series, they all metaphorize the reality of human homes and the toil of strife. The choice of the path to redemption is echoed in Emerging Events - Polaris No. 1, which reminds us of humanity’s expelled ancestors, burdened with original sin—yet God has already laid out a great salvation plan from the very beginning.

Luo Biwu’s works are filled with sorrow tinged with reverence, and the colors in his pieces convey profound emotions. We must urgently understand and reflect on the anxiety of "where we come from and where we are going." In his works, we can feel the great love and compassion flowing from the painter’s heart—works that deeply touch the soul. With his exquisite, detailed brushstrokes, the noble "soul of colors," and conceptual "invisible photovoltaic light," Luo Biwu illuminates the mess, loneliness, and confusion of reality.

Gerd Leins

Gerd Leins, an artist in this exhibition, will showcase his series War Mirrors and Death Obituaries—works centered on reflections on death. Only a nation that faces death head-on can be philosophical and truly look up to the radiance of the divine; only an individual who contemplates death can be truly poetic and reverent.

Born in Germany after World War II, Gerd Leins has a profound understanding and philosophical reflection on human wars. He once said that before the age of 50, he felt deep remorse for being German—a heart of confession gnawed at him constantly, filling him with intense anxiety and sorrow. It was only in recent years that he finally unloaded this spiritual burden. As a poet-artist, he embodies the profound sorrow of poets like Rilke and Paul Celan—sorrow that seeps to the core of his bones. He carries a deep apology for being human, for the sins committed by humanity: from the collective to the individual, from the nation to the country. This sense of fragmentation exhausted him both physically and mentally.

Created after the Russia-Ukraine War, the War Mirrors series depicts the young, vivid faces lost in battle—faces that strike the viewer’s heart, shattering into fragments scattered on the ground. In the bitter cold of Siberia, all we see are cold bones, as hard as rocks. Oh, humanity! Why do conflicts never end? Behind the vanished faces, the bones of the innocent pile up like a mountain. Using thick yet bright colors of red, yellow, and blue, Gerd Leins constructs a solemn, monument-like ritual with cold solemnity and depth—a tribute to the children lost in war.

Ge Lu

As one of the curators of this exhibition, Ge Lu will also participate as an artist, showcasing his work Unfinished Ruins. This series, which he has continuously expanded since 2008 to the present, takes human figures as its main thread. Using diverse materials, media, abstract expression, symbolic representation, and metaphorical techniques, the work depicts humanity: a species that has always built civilization while also destroying it, destroying itself, and being deeply trapped in sin. Humanity needs to rebuild its homes, but more importantly, it needs to rebuild itself.

Just as after World War I and World War II—eras marked by devastation and ruins—human beings too are engaged in a lifelong battle against their own sins, their inner selves reduced to heaps of rubble and ruins. The task of "rebuilding a new spiritual life" and "how to rebuild on the ruins" remains an eternal question that Ge Lu, and all of us, ponder.

With the sensibility of a poet, Ge Lu’s work merges the human perspective with the gaze of God. Everyone holds the answer in their heart; all truths are clearly knowable—it is only the choices of human free will that differ.
