运用陶瓷进行当代艺术的转化——吕品昌的远行与回归

Lv Pinchang’s use of ceramic media embodies the proposition of how contemporary art returns to traditional culture. In 2024, he created the series of variable installation works On Site. The works always present virtual archaeological excavation sites. The works semi-melt the ready-made objects through high temperature firing of ceramics, and these ready-made objects contain composite modern product waste such as porcelains, pottery, metals, and fireproof vessels. The image of this site expresses the archaeological excavation of post-modern life, because post-modern civilization sites will eventually become the historical civilizations buried deep underground. Through these civilization fragments, the works attempt to reveal the deep relationships between historical and contemporary, characteristics and spirits.

2024年他创作了一系列装置可变的作品《现场》，作品始终呈现出一个个虚拟的“考古”发掘现场，作品以陶瓷的高温烧造将现成品半溶化，而这些现成品则包容了瓷器、陶器、金属及耐火器物等复合性的现代产品垃圾。这个“现场”所具有的意象，表达了对后现代生活的“考古”发掘，因为这些后现代文明“现场”终将成为掩埋在深土下的历史文明，作品通过这些文明碎片试图揭示历史与当代、特质与精神的深层关系。

Lv Pinchang’s artistic journey began in Jingdezhen, the ancient city known as the Pottery Capital. In 1995, he was introduced as a talented individual and transferred to CAFA, where he established the ceramics studio in the Sculpture Department, initiating the expansion and enrichment of CAFA’s sculpture discipline construction. With the integration of disciplines and the teaching reform of the studio system in the Sculpture Department at the turn of the new century, Lv Pinchang has always been deeply involued in front-line teaching. He has sought a balance between art education and creation in his personal creations, teaching, and research, with the contemporary development of Chinese sculpture and the construction of local culture under the backdrop of globalization always running through his work.

吕品昌的艺术起点是陶都古城景德镇。1995年，他作为人材引进调入中央美术学院，并在雕塑系创建“陶瓷工作室”，开始拓展和丰富央美雕塑学科建设。伴随着学科融合和新世纪初雕塑系工作室制的教学改革，吕品昌始终深耕于教学一线，并在个人创作、教学和科研中寻求艺教与创作的平衡，而贯穿其中的则始终是中国雕塑的当代发展及全球化视野下的本土文化建设课题。

During his tenure as the head of the Sculpture Department at CAFA, he actively promoted the comprehensive development of teaching the sculpture discipline. He built several influential national youth sculpture creation platforms, created a brand new model for Chinese sculpture education, and became a tremendous influence in the field of sculpture education. He successively planned and established academic brands, such as the Zeng Zhushao Sculpture Art Scholarship. To promote the development of youth sculpture aesthetic education, he planned and implemented projects like the National Youth Sculpture Exhibition, and in order to promote and advance the diverse Chinese sculpture cause, he and his colleagues created the model of the Chinese Contemporary Sculpture Biennial, planning and implementing events such as the Datong International Sculpture Biennial.

在担任中央美术学院雕塑系主任期间，他积极推进央美雕塑学科教学全面发展，搭建了多个富有影响的全国青年雕塑创作平台，打造中国雕塑教育的全新模式，在雕塑教育领域形成了巨大影响力。他先后策划并创建了“曾竹韶雕塑艺术奖学金”等学术品牌，为推动青少年雕塑美育事业的发展，策划实施了“全国青少年雕塑展览”等项目，而为了推动和繁荣多元并举的中国雕塑事业，他与同道创建了中国当代雕塑双年展模式，策划实施了“大同国际雕塑双年展”等。

In October 2020, Lv Pinchang embarked on a new artistic journey. Invited by the Jiangxi Provincial Committee, he took up the post of Deputy Party Secretary and Vice President (in charge of administrative work) at Jingdezhen Ceramic University, becoming the true helmsman of the only university in the country named after ceramics. His artistic journey has returned to its starting point, yet this starting point significantly indicates the true belonging of his art.

2020年10月，吕品昌再度开始他的艺术新履，受江西省委邀请赴任景德镇陶瓷大学担任党委副书记、副校长（主持行政工作），成为全国唯一一所以陶瓷命名的大学的真正“掌舵人”，他的艺术远行又回到了起点，不过，这个起点却富有深意地表明了他艺术的真正归属。
