【Rachel Kneebone 399 Days | V&A • London | 20170428】
英国艺术家Rachel Kneebone在创造的陶瓷雕塑时，力争以其具备的所有复杂性来表示人体。她关注身体形态意味着什么、陶瓷工艺品的物理限制和认知的可能性。Rachel Kneebone复杂的雕塑往往带着她与生俱来的强烈感情，她总是能通过带有运动感和流动性的媒介来表达静谧与平静。
399天是艺术家迄今为止规模最大、最壮观的雕塑。其灵感来源于古罗马诗人奥维德的代表作《变形记》，各异的形态与美、性、狂喜、罪恶、死亡交融在一起，赋予了凝固的动态生命的激情。作品每一处扭动的形态都在向我们发出邀请，将我们的视线随时吸引到各个方向，在复杂的细节和高耸的尺度之间来来去去。

British artist Rachel Kneebone creates porcelain sculptures that strive to represent the human body in all its complexity. She is concerned with what it means to inhabit a body,its physical limitations and cognitive possibilities.Inspired by themes of transformation and renewal,Kneebone's complex sculptures are born of intense emotions. She expresses movement and fluidity in a medium usually associated with stillness and clam.
399 Days is the artist's largest and most ambitious sculpture to date. From every angle,vines,tendrils and body parts merge and multiply,evoking a state of flux and struggle. Its writhing,dissolving forms pull our gaze in all directions,inviting us to switch between intricate detail and towering scale.The crack in between the tiles enables glimpses of the sculpture's interior,challenging our understanding of what we expect from a monument as solid and impenetrable.
