10月9日,“历史基因与文化传承”全球非遗影像主题展在丽水市美术馆拉开帷幕。作为2024FIAP世界摄影人大会的重要展览,这也是知名策展人姜纬带给丽水的珍贵“礼物”。
姜纬的头衔很多,摄影评论家、策展人和出版策划人等,以其卓越的才华和深厚的艺术造诣,先后获得中国摄影金像奖理论评论奖、连州国际摄影年展杰出策展人奖、上海国际摄影节最佳策展人奖等诸多荣誉。自2007年起,他担任《纸上纪录片》系列影像丛书策划人,主编出版了50多种中英文图书画册。
姜纬的艺术探索始于一支画笔,后来在摄影的广阔天地里找到了真正的归属。“我早年学画,参与并策划一些绘画方面的活动。后来,我对摄影产生了浓厚的兴趣。”姜纬回忆道,2002年6月,他在上海成功策划了首个摄影展,正式踏入摄影策展领域。从此,摄影成为他生命中不可或缺的一部分。
“对我而言,摄影是生活的延伸。透过镜头,让我们在有限的生命里,体验到世界之美。”姜纬深信,摄影虽不能直接改变世界,却能极大地丰富我们的生活,拓宽我们的视野,增加我们人生的厚度和广度。这也正是他痴迷摄影的原因所在。
作为策展人,姜纬致力于发现、选择并呈现好的作品,成为摄影师与观众之间的桥梁。他深入挖掘摄影作品背后的故事,将作品引向更宽广的维度,激发观众的情感共鸣和社会思考。他认为,一个好的展览就是要让观众有所收获,有所感悟。
今年,姜纬担任2024FIAP世界摄影人大会的特邀策展人。从挑选展出作品到空间设计,再到视觉效果的呈现,每一个环节,他都倾情投入、全心付出,力求做到极致。最终,展览呈现了来自全球各地39名摄影师的340余幅非遗主题影像作品,展现了世界非物质文化遗产的多样性和独特性。
“每一幅作品的背后,都承载着一段鲜活的历史,一种深厚的文化基因。”姜纬表示,希望通过展览,能够让观众跨越地域、时空的限制,感受不同文化之间的共鸣和碰撞,同时让这些珍贵的文化遗产得到更广泛的传播和认可。
对于丽水,姜纬有着深厚的感情。2004年,他第一次来丽水参加摄影节,从那时起,就与这片摄影热土结下不解之缘。从2009年荣获中国·丽水国际摄影文化节“十大策展人”奖,到2013年起连续十年担任由中国丽水摄影博物馆主办的中国摄影年度排行榜的终审评委,姜纬见证了丽水摄影从本土走向世界舞台的辉煌历程。
“丽水是中国摄影之乡,我前前后后来过20多次,每次来这里,都能深切感受到丽水人对摄影的热爱与执着。”姜纬感慨道,“经过这么多年,丽水摄影节和世界摄影人大会越办越好,影响力也越来越大,丽水已经成为我和许多摄影家心中的摄影艺术圣地。”
Jiang Wei:
Show the beauty of
intangible cultural heritage to
the world through photography
On October 9, "Historical Genes and Cultural Heritage" Global Intangible Cultural Heritage Theme Exhibition was opened at Lishui Art Museum. As an important exhibition of the 2024 FIAP World Photographers Conference, it is a precious "gift" brought to Lishui by the well-known curator Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei has many titles, including photography critic, curator and publishing planner. With his outstanding talent and profound artistic attainments, he has won the Theoretical Review Award of the Golden Statue Award for China Photography, the Outstanding Curator Award of Lianzhou International Photography Festival, and the Best Curator Award of Shanghai International Photography Festival. Since 2007, he has been the planner of the photo book series Documentary on Paper, and has edited and published more than 50 books in both Chinese and English.
Jiang Wei's artistic exploration began with a paintbrush, and later he found a real home in the vast world of photography. "I studied painting in my early years and participated in and planned some painting activities. Later, I developed a strong interest in photography." Jiang Wei recalled that in June 2002, he successfully planned the first photography exhibition in Shanghai, and officially entered the field of photography curation. Since then, photography has become an indispensable part of his life.
"For me, photography is an extension of my life. Through the lens, we can experience the beauty of the world in the limited life." Jiang Wei believes that although photography can not directly change the world, it can greatly enrich our life, broaden our horizons, and increase the thickness and breadth of our life. That's why he has been obsessed with photography.
As a curator, Jiang Wei is committed to discovering, selecting and presenting good works, and becoming a bridge between photographers and audience. He digs deep into the stories behind the photography works, leads the works to a broader dimension, and stimulates the audience's emotional resonance and social thinking. He believes that a good exhibition is to let the audience gain something and feel something.
This year, Jiang Wei is a special guest curator of the 2024 FIAP World Photographer Conference. From the selection of exhibited works to space design, and then to the presentation of visual effects, he has devoted himself to every link, striving to achieve the best. The exhibition presents more than 340 visual works on intangible cultural heritage from 39 photographers around the world, showing the diversity and uniqueness of the world's intangible cultural heritage.
"Behind each work, there is a fresh history and a profound cultural gene." Jiang Wei expressed his hope that through the exhibition, the audience can cross the regional and temporal limitations, and feel the resonance and collision among different cultures, while the precious cultural heritages can be more widely spread and recognized.
For Lishui, Jiang Wei has a deep feeling. In 2004, he came to Lishui for the first time. Since then, he has formed an indissoluble bond with this hot land of photography. From his winning the "Top Ten Curators" award of China Lishui International Photography Culture Festival in 2009, to his serving as a final judge of the Annual China Photography List sponsored by China Lishui Photography Museum for 10 consecutive years since 2013, Jiang Wei has witnessed the brilliant course of Lishui photography from the local to the world stage.
"Lishui is the hometown of photography in China. I have been here in Lishui for more than 20 times. Every time I come here, I can deeply feel the love and dedication of Lishui people to photography." Jiang Wei said, "After so many years, the Lishui Photography Festival and the World Photography Conference have become better and better, and their influence has also increased. Lishui has become the holy land of photography art in the hearts of me and many photographers."
