Make full use of China style.
In 2005, artist Song Dong created a painting called? Make the best use of everything? The exhibition is spread out one by one on the ground, with things that mother Zhao Xiangyuan has preserved for more than 50 years, such as washbasins, rice spoons, chairs, shoes and clothes? Total * * * 10000. Song Dong said that instead of medals and stamps, all daily necessities were on display, as the saying goes? Is it broken? .
This work originated from the death of Song Dong's father. The sudden departure of people brought great pain to the whole family. Mom used to be an optimistic person, who loved chatting and had many friends, but since then she has been silent, not watching TV, reading books, chatting with people, just crying, and at the same time taking out all the sundries she has saved all her life. The whole desktop is full, and the whole ground is full. Things are everywhere. ?
Song Dong and his sister sent their mother to the south and asked her to leave for a while. Brother and sister threw a lot of things, cleaned them up, felt that the house was clean and tidy, and then invited their mother back. ? She was furious with us and very angry. Can't sleep at night. I think, what is filial piety, obedience is filial piety. Why should the older generation live according to my life philosophy? Then I asked my mother, what do you need these things for? She said that your father has left, and I want to use these things to make up for my popularity in this room. That sentence makes me sad. My mother said that everything has human memory. ?
Song Dong decided never to throw anything again. He asked his mother to do it? Make the best use of everything? This public exhibition, together? Is it broken? Sort out your memory and free your mother from the sad situation.
It took them 1 month to spread out all the sundries for the first time, and then it took them three years to sort them out and show them in a 300-square-meter exhibition hall in Beijing 798. One of them is a box of soap, which was given to Song Dong by my mother as a wedding gift. It was given to my son on the wedding day of 1992. The soap in the box is like a stone, some are black, and it is covered with soil, which is particularly dirty. Song Dong said that she has switched to the washing machine now and doesn't need it. Mother felt sad. Ok, shall I keep it for you? . When doing the exhibition, Song Dong accompanied her mother to clean up, only to know the story of soap: when her mother was pregnant, she didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. If it is a boy, there will be a big family in the future. It is difficult to wash clothes for a family with a bar of soap, so a mother has to leave more soap for her children.
"People" reporter said: Where does this insecurity come from? Song Dong said? Of course it's not safe. Your life is impossible. It wasn't as hard then as it is now. What is the philosophy of life of that generation? Make the best use of everything? This philosophy should be respected. The current society is so bloated because it has always been emphasized that only consumption can develop. Should we reconsider parting from the source? Make the best use of everything? Think about how much we need to have. ?
Song Dong's own living room and studio look very refreshing. The sofa is made by the artist's wife Yin Xiuzhen, which is unique in the world. It is both a necessity and a favorite. Television, bookshelf, desk, seat. That's all.
