白发一雄(Kazuo Shiraga)高清作品《挑战泥浆》

作品名：挑战泥浆

原名：多罗尼多姆

艺术家：白发一雄

年代：1955、日本东京

风格：概念艺术

类型：表现

在东京大原开坂厅举行的第一届古台艺术展上，Shiraga在泥浆堆里扭动摔跤，表演了《挑战泥浆》，创作了一部既表现又绘画的作品。在这部作品中，Shiraga培养了他赤脚动作画同样的能量和动态动作，使绘画观念进一步激进和延伸。在这里，他完全放弃了画布，油漆，传统材料和博物馆空间，使用他的身体不是作为涂漆的工具，而是作为与材料互动的直接手段。泥中的绘画和艺术家的身体都成为行动的场所。Shiraga从砍下来的伤口中出来，浑身淤泥，当他在泥泞中行动时，泥浆也同样作用在他身上。从这个意义上说，作品体现了古泰人强调艺术家与材料的接触，使得他“握手”。艺术家最终放弃控制对材料的控制，并与之建立伙伴关系。Shiraga为了让参观展览的游客见证他的创作行为，进一步阐明了谷台对创作过程而非作品本身的重要性。他将绘画转变为一种面向过程的媒介，实际上是“执行”他的作品。然而，古太艺术家们的行动是为了创造绘画。Shiraga设想挑战泥浆作为一幅画，这通过与其他画一起展出的作品来证明，并附有展览标签。他谈到这幅作品时说：“我用脚画画，但用全身来画一幅画：我没打算做三维作品。”虽然摄影文件记录了这一动作，但对Shiraga来说，《挑战泥浆》实际上是一幅用他的手绘的画。身体。（Sara Kowalski）

Title:Challenging Mud

Original Title:Doro ni idomu

artist:Kazuo Shiraga

Date:1955; Tokyo, Japan

Style:Conceptual Art

Genre:performance

Shiraga performed Challenging Mud by writhing and wrestling in a pile of mud at the First Gutai Art Exhibition at the Ohara Kaikan Hall in Tokyo, creating a work that was both performance and painting. In this work, Shiraga cultivates the same energy and dynamic action of his barefoot action paintings, radicalizing and extending the notion of painting even further. Here, he completely relinquishes the canvas, paint, conventional materials and museum space, using his body not as a tool for applying paint, but as a direct means of interaction with the material. Both the painting in the mud and the artist’s body become sites of action. Shiraga emerges from the work cut and bruised and covered with mud; as he acts on the mud, the mud likewise acts on him. In this sense, the work embodies the emphasis of the Gutai on the engagement of the artist with the material in such a way that he “shakes hands” with it. The artist ultimately relinquishes the mastery of control over the material and enters into partnership with it. Staging his act of creation for visitors to the exhibition to witness, Shiraga furthermore articulates the importance placed by the Gutai on the process of creation rather than on the works themselves. He transforms painting into a process-oriented medium and actually “performs” his work. Nevertheless, the Gutai artists intended their actions to result in the creation of paintings. Shiraga conceived of Challenging Mud as a painting, which is evidenced by the exhibition of the work alongside other paintings, complete with an exhibition label. He says of the work, “I painted the same way I had painted with my feet but with my whole body to create a painting: I had no intention of making a three-dimensional work.” While photographic documentation records the action, for Shiraga, Challenging Mud is essentially a painting made with his body.
