香格纳画廊荣幸宣布徐震®全球项目“信号”已正式启动。“信号”项目是由徐震®发起的长期当代艺术项目，他将持续向全球的观众赠送他创作的“激情”系列绘画，每个收到绘画的观众也将应邀在自己的社交媒体账号上展示此绘画，届时，将形成一个长期的、持续不断的出现在互联网自媒体平台上的“画展”。项目旨在向更多的人群发射艺术的信号，共享艺术的未来。

作为一个兼具线上与实体展示的全球项目，“信号”项目的全球首站——雅加达站，除在艺术雅加达香格纳展位设置的展览现场外，在与艺术雅加达官方合作下有幸邀请到近40位艺术家、藏家以及策展人等，他们也将受邀在社交媒体账号上展示作品。继雅加达站之后，“信号”项目也将在今年登陆新加坡和上海，将分别在香格纳新加坡空间和上海西岸空间展出，并邀请两地观众共享“激情”。

ShanghART is delighted to announce that XU ZHEN®’s global project “SIGNAL” is now officially initiated. “SIGNAL” is a contemporary art project started by artist XU ZHEN® in 2022. XU ZHEN gives as a gift one of his “Passion” paintings to the global audience, and each recipient is invited to display the painting they receive on their social media accounts. A long-term, unceasing “art exhibition” will thus take place on Internet media platforms. The project aims to send the signal of art to people around the world and share with them the future of art.

As a global project with both online and physical presence, the very first station of the project – “SIGNAL” at Jakarta, now lands at Art Jakarta, along with a presentation on Instagram by nearly 40 artists, collectors, and curators invited by both ShanghART Gallery and Art Jakarta with their received 'Passion' paintings. Later this year, followed by Art Jakarta, the 'SIGNAL' project will also land in ShanghART Singapore and ShanghART Shanghai successively, and audiences from both Singapore and China will be invited to share 'Passion' on social media.

关于“激情”
About 'Passion'

徐震自2021年起开始创作“激情”这一布上油画系列作品，绘画由社交媒体上的聊天截屏转译而来。与以往不同的是，“激情”是艺术家首次亲笔绘画如此庞大数量的系列作品，绘画上的涂抹与笔触正是艺术家内在情绪的见证。

此次为“信号”项目创作的一系列“激情”绘画尺幅恰与手机屏幕尺寸相仿，以此向聊天截屏致以最直接的呼应。这一系列的绘画数量将随着项目的发展持续增加，每幅作品都是独一无二的，都来自艺术家独立创作；与此同时，艺术家也将继续他的大尺幅“激情”绘画创作，并在未来的项目空间内展出，持续向世界注入激情。

Xu Zhen started creating 'Passion' in 2021, a series of oil paintings on canvas. The painting series is a derivative of mobile phone screenshots of chats on social media. Unlike before, 'Passion' is the first time the artist has personally painted such a large number of series of works, where the smears and brushstrokes are the visualizations of the artist's inner emotions.

The size of the paintings for the 'SIGNAL' project is similar to the size of a mobile phone screen, which is the immediate echo of the chatting screenshots. The number of the paintings will grow as the project develops, each of which is unique and created independently by the artist. Meanwhile, the large-scale 'Passion' paintings will be featured in future project spaces, continuing to inject passion into the world.

在这个具有历史意义的信息时代，由互联网的技术胜利带动的大众文化无疑是徐震长期以来创作的重要议题之一。 “信号”项目本身绝非一次单纯的系列绘画创作，而是一场社交媒体的盛筵。艺术家用油画这样的传统媒介，通过大众文化传播的现代途径向观众传递一个时代的集体状态。

In this historical information age, mass culture driven by the near-universal technological triumph of the internet is undoubtedly one of the important themes in Xu Zhen's artistic career. The 'SIGNAL' project is by no means a mere series of paintings, but a social media feast. The artist conveys the collective state of the era to the audience through oil paintings, a traditional medium but in a modern method of mass culture dissemination.
