However, his &#8220;X?&#8221; series has broken through the inherent constraints of the art viewing relationship with a &#8220;counter-impact&#8221; kind of coldness. <\/p>\n<p>In Zhang Peili&#8217;s view, the breakthrough point of art is not the superficial excitement of form innovation or public participation, but rather breaking the &#8220;lax and relaxed viewing habit&#8221; of the audience. In the &#8220;X?&#8221; series, he uses medical latex gloves as a symbol, with repetitive compositions and neutral tones, to strip away the &#8220;viewing nature&#8221; of the paintings. Moreover, through those seemingly meaningless creations and viewing rules, he forces the audience to shift from &#8220;entertainment-based viewing&#8221; to &#8220;immersive confrontation&#8221;, as if using a rational blunt instrument to strike at the audience&#8217;s cognitive inertia towards art, compelling them to confront their own appropriation and misinterpretation of the works. <\/p>\n<p>This reconfiguration of the &#8220;viewing and being viewed&#8221; relationship goes far beyond the modernist critique of language itself, directly addressing the deep tensions between artists, works, and the art system. It is not only a sharp extension of the &#8220;85 New Wave&#8221; art proposition, but also sows the seeds of the &#8220;oppressive expression&#8221; in subsequent performance art and video creation. <\/p>\n<p>His artistic experiments are more like a mirror, reflecting the inertia of numbness that contemporary people have in cultural consumption, and also making art a powerful tool for awakening self-awareness. <\/p>\n<p>The tea for today is all gone. Next time, I&#8217;ll brew a fresh pot and enjoy art with you again.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#038;#8221&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8332,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mr-shan","post_format-post-format-video","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8331"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8333,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8331\/revisions\/8333"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
