中文簡介:
《永遠回歸》審視了菲利克斯·岡薩雷斯-托雷斯與肖像畫相關的作品,并伴隨著在國家肖像畫廊和史密森學會美國藝術檔案館舉辦的同名大型展覽。
這個龐大的項目重點關注菲利克斯·岡薩雷斯-托雷斯對肖像畫和身份建構的深入參與,以及歷史的講述和傳承方式。作為二十世紀的令頁先藝術家之一,岡薩雷斯-
托雷斯拓寬了肖像畫的視野,從一種與個人靜態表現相關的流派,到一種具有改變、保持共鳴和鼓勵合作能力的流派。展覽和專著沒有正式的起點或終點,而是在岡薩雷斯-
托雷斯的開創性作品、兩個史密森尼收藏的背景以及華盛頓特區具有重要歷史意義的背景的交匯處展開
《永遠回歸》將展覽的文獻與展覽策展人喬什·T·弗蘭科和夏洛特·伊克斯的新學術成果、朱莉·奧爾特和約書亞·錢伯斯-
萊森的文章以及構成展覽概念基礎的檔案文本編織在一起。這種對藝術家與肖像畫和史學的關系的深入研究為我們這個時代蕞重要的藝術家之一的實踐提供了一種新的方式。

原文簡介:
Always to Return examines Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s work in relation
to\nportraiture and accompanies a major exhibition of the same name at
the\nNational Portrait Gallery and the Archives of American Art,
Smithsonian\nInstitution. \n \nThis expansive project focuses on Felix
Gonzalez-Torres’s deep engagement with\nportraiture and the construction of
identity, as well as how history is told\nand inherited. As one of the leading
artists of the twentieth century,\nGonzalez-Torres broadened the horizon of
portraiture from a genre associated\nwith static representations of
individuals to one with the capacity to change,\nremain resonant, and
encourage collaboration. With no formal beginning or end\npoint, the
exhibition and monograph unfold at the intersection of Gonzalez-\nTorres’s
groundbreaking work, the context of two Smithsonian collections, and\nthe
historically significant setting of Washington, D.C. \n \nAlways to Return
weaves together documentation of the exhibition with new\nscholarship by the
exhibition’s curators, Josh T Franco and Charlotte Ickes,\nessays by Julie
Ault, and Joshua Chambers-Letson, and archival texts that\nshape the
conceptual foundation for the exhibition. This in-depth look at the\nartist’s
relationship to portraiture and historiography provides a new way\ninto the
practice of one the most significant artists of our time. \n \nThe work of
Felix Gonzalez-Torres can be found in numerous public collections\nworldwide,
including the Art Institute of Chicago; Baltimore Museum of Art;\nBrooklyn
Museum; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Cleveland Museum of Art; Crystal\nBridges
Museum of American Art, Bentonville; Dallas Museum of Art; Glenstone\nMuseum,
Potomac; Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge; Hirshhorn Museum and\nSculpture
Garden, Washington; Institute of Contemporary Art Miami; Nelson-\nAtkins
Museum, Kansas City; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Museum
of\nContemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York;
Philadelphia\nMuseum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Solomon R.
Guggenheim\nMuseum, New York; Tate Modern, London; Walker Art Center,
Minneapolis; and\nWhitney Museum of American Art, New York.\n\n \nAlways to
Return is co-published with the National Portrait Gallery and the\nArchives of
American Art, Smithsonian Institution.\n\n
