About Me
童昆鳥
TONG Kunniao
童昆鳥於 1990 年出生於湖南長沙。2015年畢業於中央美術學院雕塑系第三工作室。現於北京生活及工作。
童昆鳥擅長以現成物品、量產商品或可回收物料來調侃當代中國社會。以看似無厘頭的方式來玩弄邏輯與材料正是他喜採用的策略。童昆鳥作品中獨特的「童式幽默」使人們在觀看時在視覺上產生不可思議的感覺。
Tong Kunniao (b. 1990, in Hunan) graduated with a BFA from the Sculpture department of the China Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2015.
His works consist of paintings, kinetic sculptures, and installations. One characteristic of Tong’s works is his preference for using ready-made objects, mass-produced commodities and/or recyclable materials to convey a subversive sense of humor that responds to contemporary Chinese society. The uncanny feeling generated upon viewing Tong’s work is a visual corollary of his distinctive absurdist vocabulary. His art is not only concerned with meaning, but also strategically plays on the confrontation between logic and material in a more relaxed, yet seemingly nonsensical manner.

《做點離開豬屁股的事》是一件奇異荒誕卻又同時帶有節慶氣氛的裝置。這些「生物」只有在當觀者接近時才會被重新賦予生命力並即場表演：每當觀者一靠近，利用特殊材料所仿真的「豬尾巴」便會轉圈起舞並擊打鈴鼓。藝術家除了借作品拓展現場表演的可能性之外，把怡人的鈴鼓和詭異的「豬尾巴」結合，亦代表了兩種精神的正面交鋒。

When You Do It, Leave Some of the Pig Ass is an interactive installation comprised of tambourines and pig tails made out of silicone. Tambourines and pigtails are assembled on a cutting board and arranged in a surround-sound formation along the gallery walls. The piece also features a concealed sensor nearby. When viewers walk into the vicinity of the installation, the sensor picks up on the movement. Consequently, the pig tails start to rotate, and begin to hit their tambourines.
Tong’s absurdist treatment of the tambourine and silicone pigtails echoes carnivalesque sentiments. The artist’s juxtaposition of a lighthearted instrument with a grotesque silicone pigtail illustrates a literal and allegorical confrontation of ideals.
