我们热情邀请您出席开幕酒会／音乐表演：
Double Solo
Paintings and Music by Jun-Y CIAO and TAO Yi.
Exhibition Dates: Feb. 26th - March 20th, 2011
Opening Reception and Musical Performance: Saturday, Feb. 26th, 2011, 6-8 pm.
Double Solo is an exhibition of sights and sounds, the elements that concern space-time and non-narrative being.
Jun-Y CIAO and TAO Yi are simultaneously carrying out two sets of happenings- making paintings and music. Their works of making paintings and creating musical pieces are independent from one and other, yet draw a parallel in-between. These artists'' non-presentational paintings reject any presumption of inspirational lure, critical intent and narrative interpretation. Their music is work of improvisation using the artists'' body movement, their states of mind and anything else in between the natural surroundings. The sights and sounds that the viewers would experience are the outpour of artists'' contented self-being.
For the exhibition, artist Jun-Y CIAO will be creating an on-site wall painting while TAO Yi will be showing works on canvas in various sizes. Musical pieces written by the two artists will be performed by cellist WANG Tian and flutist PING Ping during the opening reception.
Jun-Y CIAO and TAO Yi have formed a music group MTDM, acronym for “horse without legs” in pinyin, in 2005 in Duesseldorf, Germany, and commit themselves to the freedom, purity and spontaneousness of music. Similar to the Fluxus predecessors’ exploration into the cross-border arts, the practice of MTDM can be considered a tribute to the pioneers. MTDM is synonymous with “good-for-nothing” in Chinese. In most Western movies, horses with broken legs would be killed by cowboys with no exception. As Jun-Y and Tao Yi were both born in the Year of Horse (1978), the self-mocking name “Horse Without Legs” implies exactly the profound thinking of the two artists on a philosophical question: how to walk without “legs.”
双重独奏
照骏园、陶轶 绘画与音乐作品展
展出日期：2011年2月26日－3月20日
开幕酒会及音乐演奏：2011年2月26日（星期六），下午6-8点
Double Solo 不等于Solo+Solo。
这是一个与空间时间有关的展览。
这是一个与叙事性无关的展览。
照骏园与陶轶同时在做两件事，绘画与音乐。对他们而言，这是两个独立且平行的工作。他们的绘画是非具像的，与灵感无关，与一切批判性无关，与一切叙事性无关。他们的音乐是由即兴出发的，与身体，情绪及平行于自然的一切有关。 您所看到的与听到的即是他们自在的呈现。
展出包括照骏园在画廊现场创作的大幅壁画及陶轶的架上绘画。两位艺术家／音乐人的音乐作品由特邀音乐家王田（大提琴）和平萍（长笛）在开幕式中演奏。
照骏园和陶轶于 2005 年在德国杜塞尔多夫成立乐团 MTDM (没腿的马)，并致力于一种纯粹的自由音乐，一种纯粹自发的音乐。亦如早年的 FLUXUS 先辈们对艺术形式的跨界线探索，MTDM 的身体力行可以被认为是对先辈们的致敬。没了腿的马似乎是废物的同义词。在所有的西部片中似乎无一例外，当马的腿折断之后，所得到的唯一结果就是被其主人结果了性命。乐团成员照骏园和陶轶同肖为马。“没腿的马”这个似乎自嘲式的名字恰是暗合了两位艺术家对于没了腿的马应该如何行走的问题的思考。
