“广州影像三年展2021”主题：重思集体︱Guangzhou Image Triennial 2021

“广州影像三年展2021”确定展览的主题为：重思集体（Rethinking Collectivity）。展览由广东美术馆馆长王绍强担任展览总策划及文献展策展人，主题展由赫拉尔多-莫斯克拉（Gerardo Mosquera）、超图像小组（董冰峰、向在荣、滕宇宁）、杨北辰共同策划。

Guangzhou Image Triennial 2021 has chosen Rethinking Collectivity （重思集体）as the main theme. Wang Shaoqiang, Director of Guangdong Museum of Art, will be the chief director of the Triennial and the curator of the archive exhibition. The theme exhibition will be cocurated by Gerardo Mosquera, Hyperimage Group (Dong Bingfeng, Xiang Zairong, Teng Yuning), and Yang Beichen.

我们对世界的忧虑，也许从没有像今日这般紧迫。这种危机感一方面潜伏在长久以来人类社会的内在矛盾之中，以及技术的盲目发展与环境之间日益失调的平衡感里。另一方面，其又在新冠病毒大流行的恐慌中进一步加深，我们体尝着处于未知威胁中的无助感，以及持续性全球震荡所导致渐行渐远的隔绝与孤独。世界在这种不断蔓延的逆全球化离心力中陷入了更大的困局，文化和艺术实践亦同样焦灼于此。面对共同的未知，人类命运重新胶着一体，而同样，停顿的短暂真空也给了我们重新反思的空间——重思集体，不仅是在检阅历史，更是针对当下与未来更加广阔的共生可能的探讨。

“广州影像三年展2021”以“重思集体”为主题，正是在这样的时代背景下应运而生，展览试图通过影像艺术的独特语言，呈现出不同维度的思辨，与观众共同探究对于人类精神与命运的现实反思。

“集体”的概念经历了长期演变，在今天具有了更加宏观、整体的当代特质。在历史叙事中，集体曾代表一种记忆与身份的共同体，图像则在很长一段时间以来承担起了保存与重塑它的重任。而在当代语境里，集体拥有了复合和多维的表达，其被解读为一种现象的集合，一种术语，甚至是一系列发问/提问的方式。这些概念业已超出了人类中心主义视角。在展览中，我们将试图对此做出进一步的观察和探讨：基于全球景观的视角，集体是人与自然的联结，是在自然景观的痕迹中寻找到的人类价值的轨迹；同时，其亦被理解为一种关系性的、发生性的前沿组合，由自然、技术、话语、实践建构起的异质网络——“集体”成为了一种社会与自然、精神与物质、人与非人之间多维紧密的共存。而当下影像艺术丰富而包容的体系，对其也生发出多重表达的可能。此外，本届影像三年展也希望通过碰触这个时代特有的思辨思想，来讨论当代影像的新叙事。

“广州影像三年展2021”将由主题展与文献展组成，广东美术馆馆长王绍强担任本次影像三年展总策划及文献展策展人，主题展三个单元分别为超图像小组（董冰峰、向在荣、滕宇宁）策划的“我们，集体”、杨北辰策划的“前沿心智”及赫拉尔多-莫斯克拉（Gerardo Mosquera）策划的“全球景观”。主题展三个单元将在“重思集体”的视野和框架下彼此交织，尝试连通起过去、当下与未来，以及宏观与微观等诸多层面，在开放的对话与交流中，促发影像艺术的实践，以呈现我们向自身所处世界的反思和发问。

We have never been worried about the world as much as we do today. The feeling of crisis has been lurking beneath, on the one hand, the long-standing conflicts internal to humansociety, the blindly accelerating technological development, and the deteriorating environment. On the other hand, the panic over the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated such worries. We are suffering from a sense of helplessness while facing these unknown threats, as well as a stronger sense of isolation and loneliness facing the persistent global turmoil. The world has fallen into a greater predicament amid the anti-globalization processes. The cultural and artistic milieux likewise share the same worries. Facing an unknown future, the destiny of humankind is once again entwined with each other. Yet, the short vacuum of pause has also provided us room for reflection, for rethinking collectively. Rethinking collectivity is not only a review of history but, more importantly, an exploration of the wider possibilities of coexistence in the present and in the future. 

Against such a historical background, Guangzhou Image Triennial 2021 with the theme "Rethinking Collectivity" aims to show different aspects of critical reflection enabled by the unique language of image-making and rethink humanity’s destiny together with the participants. 

The concept of "collectivity" has undergone a long-term evolution to the present with broaderand more holistic significations in modernity. In historical narratives, collectivity once represented a community of memory and identity, for which image assumed the responsibility of preservation and reconstruction for a longtime. In the contemporary context, collectivity has attained more complexity and multidimensionality, and has become synonym of a collection of phenomena, a term, and even ways of posing questions. These conceptualizations have gone beyond the anthropocentric perspective. In this exhibition, we will continue to observe and discuss these issues: from the perspective of the global landscape, collectivity is the connection between human and nature, and also the traced human behaviors that are found in the natural landscape. Meanwhile, it’s also perceivedas a relational and happening frontier, and a heterogeneous network constructed by nature, technology, discourse and practice: collectivity has therefore become a multidimensional coexistence human society and nature, spirit and matter, as well as humans and non-humans. The rich and inclusive system of image art also enables the possibility of multiple expressions. Guangzhou Image Triennial 2021 also hopes to discuss the new narratives of contemporary image art by engaging with critical thoughts unique to our era.

Guangzhou Image Triennial 2021 consists of a theme exhibition and an archive exhibition. Wang Shaoqiang, Director of the Guangdong Museum of Art, will be the chief director of the Triennial and the curator of the archive exhibition. The theme exhibition consists of three parts: Why Collectivity? curated by the Hyperimage Group (Dong Bingfeng, Xiang Zairong, and Teng Yuning), Frontier Mentality curated by Yang Beichen, and Globalscape curated by Gerardo Mosquera. These three parts will be interwoven under the vision and framework of "Rethinking Collectivity" in an attempt to connect the past, the present and the future in macro and micro scales, in order to promote the practice of image art through open dialogues and exchanges. We will continue to reflect on the complex world we are living in.

本届广州影像三年展将邀请来自全球数十位的艺术家、导演和学者参加，共同搭建作品展示、放映、学术论坛以及特定在地艺术项目，以粤港澳大湾区为区域背景，积极推动和建立全球学术研究及艺术交流的动态网络。项目更多信息将陆续公布，敬请关注。

Guangzhou Image Triennial 2021 will invite dozens of artists, film directors and scholars from all over the world to participate in the exhibition, screenings, academic forums and location-specific art projects. Based in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, we hope to make vigorous efforts to establish and promote a dynamic network of global academic research and artistic exchanges. More information about the Guangzhou Image Triennial 2021 will come soon.

“广州影像三年展”的前身为广东美术馆主办的“广州国际摄影双年展”，“广州国际摄影双年展”是国内具有代表性的大型国际性摄影双年展之一，基本宗旨是“坚持国际化的视野和影像社会学的人文立场，参与和推动中国的当代摄影及文化的发展”。回顾过往的三届摄影双年展（2005年，2007年，2009年），每届确立一个主题学术面向各有所侧重，严谨地梳理摄影史，展现当代摄影实践；同时激活了国内美术馆对于摄影研究和收藏的热情。

广东美术馆于2016年重启“广州国际摄影双年展”这一品牌项目，并将“广州国际摄影双年展”正式更名为“广州影像三年展”。“影像”包含图像、声音、运动与三维动画等多种元素，作为新艺术媒介的一部分，更能够囊括各种跨媒介艺术实践现象。广东美术馆基于媒介现象发展的观察与思考，把研究的重点从原来的“社会人文的摄影”拓展为更具包容力和学科性的“视觉研究的影像”，力图在更具开放性与方向感的工作中推动中国当代影像艺术的实践与研究。2017年，广东美术馆成功举办了“复相·叠影——广州影像三年展2017”。

The predecessor of Guangzhou Image Triennial is Guangzhou Photo Biennial hosted by Guangdong Museum of Art. Guangzhou Photo Biennial is one of the most representative large-scale international photo biennials in China that holds the principle of "Adhere to the global vision and the humanistic standpoint of imaging sociology; participate in and promote the development of contemporary photography and culture in China." Looking back at the past Guangzhou Photo Biennial in 2005, 2007 and 2009, each edition established a distinctive theme, focuses on a specific academic field, rigorously combing the history of photography, while showing contemporary photography practices. More importantly, the biennials activated the domesticart museums' passion for photography research and collections. 

Guangdong Museum of Art relaunch the brand project Guangzhou Photo Biennial and renamed as Guangzhou Image Triennial in 2016. The broader concept "IMAGE" is composed of multiple elements, including pictures, sound, motion, and 3D animation. As a part of the new art media, "IMAGE" can also include various cross-mediaart practice phenomena. Based on close observation and thinking of media development, Guangdong Museum of Art shifted the focus of research from "social and humanistic photography" to a more inclusive and academical "images for visual research". It strives to promote the practices and study of Chinese contemporary image art through more open and targeted works. In 2017, Guangdong Museum of Art successfully held Simultaneous Eidos: Guangzhou Image Triennial 2017.
