玛吉画廊（北京）自5月份进驻798艺术区后，经过四个月的紧张筹备，将于10月18日举行开幕展，展览名为“风景的拓扑”，展览邀请了崔岫闻、董文胜、高世强、蒋志、屠宏涛等10位年轻艺术家参加，共展出绘画、摄影、录像装置作品共计13件/组。玛吉画廊（北京）希望通过此次视角独特又颇具学术思考的开幕展，继续推进中国当代艺术参与世界当代艺术的进程。
展览简介：
人类自有目的地描摹（欣赏并具审美性质的刻画）历史以来，从来没有忽视过风景/自然。并且与风景相关的创作以后发展成为艺术细分后的一大项。风景由于其作为艺术家创作的基本素材重要的位置，因而被一再书写。风景由于自身语义的丰富，一度被用来隐喻社会现实，它们常常被用来指称社会学意义上的，与人的参与后果密切相联系的景观。在尊崇观念的当代艺术领域，风景常常成为艺术激进分子眼中保守与落后势力的象征，因此很少被谈及，即使出现在一些历史叙述中，通常也只处于历史分析的边缘位置。
作为玛吉画廊（北京）开幕展——“风景的拓扑”要讨论的风景却不是绝对意义上的纯粹单一的风景。虽然，风景/自然环境又都在展出的这些作品自身结构中占据了重要的篇幅。但显而易见的一点是，它们都不是以直接表达“风景”为初始目的创作。在这些展出的作品中有些是借助自然风景作为载体的创作，有些探讨的是对风景如何重新“观看”的方法，有些则直接把自然风景作为材料来对待……。
“风景的拓扑”也不打算从社会学或人文批判角度来评价每一件作品，与以往围绕着经典作品和杰出人物书写的艺术史文本呈现方式不同，本次展览“风景的拓扑”则是选择以“风景／自然”为视觉表征的作品作为讨论的话语中心。在艺术家选择或再造的一系列风景中，作为风景基本语言的天地、草木、水云等等互为关系，共同构织了一张关于风景的拓扑结构图。空间格局上的变化，视觉上的差异常常包含许多常被遗漏的思想史内容，这些展出的作品它们集体呈现后显现的差异性，也许有助于我们寻觅那些关于风景的蛛丝马迹。

Exhibition Introduction:
Since the beginning of the intentional description (appreciation and aesthetic portray) of history by human beings, landscape/nature has never been ignored. The creation of art in related to landscape later developed into a major category after the classification of art. As a very important part of the basic materials of artists, landscape is described again and again. Because of its abundant linguistic meaning, landscape was once used for metaphorizing social reality. It is often referred as landscape in close relation to people’s participation result in a social meaning. In the field of contemporary art where conception is admired, landscape often becomes a metaphor for conservative and inferior force in the eyes of radical artists and is seldom mentioned. Even if it appears in some historical narration, it is usually at the edge of historical analysis.
As the opening exhibition of Magee Art Gallery (Beijing), the landscape discussed by “Landscape Topology” is not a pure and single landscape in an absolute sense. However, landscape/natural environment occupy important length of writing in the structure of these works. What is obvious is that they are not creations with the initial intention to directly interpret “landscape”. Some of these works are creations using natural landscape as media; some discuss how to re-observe the landscape; some directly use traditional and culture metaphorical natural landscape as materials for creation…
“Landscape Topology” does not intend to evaluate every artwork from the angle of sociology or humanist criticism. This exhibition chooses works with visual expression of “landscape/nature” as the center of discussion. In the series of landscapes chosen or re-constructed by the artists, heaven and earth, grass and trees, and clouds and water form a topology picture about landscape. The changes in spatial structure and form and visual differences include many contents of thought history that are often omitted. The discrepancy shown after the collective appearance of these works may help us search for those traces about landscape.
