Dandan Liang/梁丹丹

Introduction

Includes stories, environments, drawings, poems.

This work has gone through three transformations of art forms, from abstract painting to poetry, from poetry to movements, and from movements to singing. In the transformation of forms, it is always centered on the theme of “Sky Hope”, which is the name of the painting exhibition, the name of the poetry collection, the name of the singing piece and the name of the whole performance, so it is a comprehensive performance work, which is performed in the space of the art space, transforming the painting into a spatial performance.

What is associated with paintings becomes poems, what is associated with the rhythms and ideas of poems becomes songs, and the first paintings also come from poetry and literature. I can’t guess the inner world of the painter, but I find inspiration in his explanations of the paintings (the story line), and I find the fulcrum of the performance in the field space of the exhibition (the UM gallery, the presence of things in the neighborhood and their history).

These threads and pivots are the structure of this comprehensive performance. Within the structure, the various art forms (painting, poetry, dance, singing, theater games) are counterpointed with each other, with variations on the same theme, and multiple elements within and outside of the space are woven together and presented according to a dance score.
