徐冰个展「假作真园」苏州博物馆开幕 时隔二十年再探虚实
7月22日，当代艺术家徐冰的个展「假作真园」在苏州博物馆本馆现代艺术厅开幕，展期至10月22日。这是徐冰时隔二十年重返苏州博物馆——2006年该馆新馆落成时，建筑师贝聿铭特邀他举办开馆首展，其作品《背后的故事》成为当年的焦点。
本次展览以空间、光影、虚实、拷贝为线索展出其代表作：以干枯植物、麻丝等废弃材料安置于毛玻璃之后，借光成影，看似传统山水的画面，走近看却是材料的真实。展名取意《红楼梦》「假作真时真亦假」，延续徐冰数十年来对文字、图像与真实关系的追问。
徐冰1955年出生于重庆，成长于北京，代表作包括以四千余个「伪汉字」写成的《天书》，和用全球通用标识符号写就的《地书》。他长年生活、工作于纽约与北京之间，1999年获得麦克阿瑟「天才奖」，作品被世界多家主要博物馆收藏。（GSM 综合公开报道）
Xu Bing Returns to Suzhou Museum With Solo Exhibition 'False Garden, True Garden'
On July 22, contemporary artist Xu Bing opened his solo exhibition 'False Garden, True Garden' in the Modern Art Gallery of the Suzhou Museum, where it runs through October 22. It marks his return to the museum after twenty years: when its new building opened in 2006, architect I. M. Pei invited him to stage the inaugural exhibition, and his installation 'Background Story' became its centerpiece.
Built around space, light, illusion and copying, the show presents signature works in which dried plants, hemp fibers and other discarded materials are arranged behind frosted glass, casting shadows that read as traditional landscape paintings — until a closer look reveals only the materials themselves. The title echoes the 'Dream of the Red Chamber' line about truth and falsehood trading places, and continues Xu's decades-long inquiry into writing, images and reality.
Born in Chongqing in 1955 and raised in Beijing, Xu is best known for 'Book from the Sky,' written in more than four thousand invented pseudo-characters, and 'Book from the Ground,' composed entirely of universal symbols and icons. He lives and works between New York and Beijing, received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1999, and his works are held by major museums worldwide. (GSM, based on public reporting)
