2011年草场地摄影季期间，香格纳画廊将推出艺术家杨振中个展 — 不要动，展览由秦思源策展。
杨振中的艺术创作体现了对标准的社会行为概念的挑战愿望。他的作品具有严谨的逻辑，注重日常生活的点滴，关注中国自身内在的不调，表达真实，也常常触及一些敏感禁忌的话题，比如死亡，又或是负重过大而无法发展的社会模式。其作品体现了艺术家本人对他所涉及的媒介（如摄影、录像、装置等）的特别理解，巧妙的将主题融汇于表现的方式，比起叙事，他更常用隐喻的方式。通常他的作品都始于一个诙谐有趣的主题，然后用重复的图像配上协调合拍的声效，语言及形象化的比喻。
杨振中（1968）出生于萧山，现在上海生活和工作。1993年，杨振中毕业于中国美术学院油画系，1995年开始以录象和照片创作。他的作品几乎在所有主要的双年展和三年展里展出，如：莫斯科双年展（2009），威尼斯国际艺术双年展（2007，2003），亚太当代艺术三年展（2006），福冈亚洲艺术三年展（2005），上海双年展（2004，2002），布拉格双年展（2003），广州三年展（2002），以及韩国光州双年展（2002）等。其近几年个展包括：天桥（Canvas International Art，荷兰阿姆斯特丹，2008）；杨振中（NIKOLAJ，丹麦哥本哈根当代艺术中心，2008）；前戏（香格纳H空间，上海，2006）；杨振中（IKON画廊，英国伯明翰，2006）等。他参与的近期群展包括：玩乐：第四部分—朝圣者，游客，浪子（和工人）（Van Abbe美术馆，荷兰，2011）；有效期2010（香格纳H空间，上海，2010）；电视塔，政治和建筑的8,599米（DAM德国建筑美术馆，德国法兰克福，2009）；Shanghai Kino (伯尔尼美术馆，瑞士，2009）；中国项目—三十年：中国当代艺术收藏（昆士兰美术馆，澳大利亚，2009）；法国国际当代艺术博览会（巴黎大皇宫，法国，2008）

The main ground floor gallery shall be taken over by an immersive video installation, Don’t Move, which features twelve video projections of faces uttering the phrase “don’t move”, which also means “freeze!” in Chinese. The illuminated faces surround the audience in the dark exhibition hall as they each move, shake, and shudder. The random timing of the uttered word from all four directions creates a soft disorientation that is intensified by the movement of the faces affected by the camera. The person uttering the word doesn’t move, only the camera moves. This work was originally created for the public environment at Shanghai Fuxin Park in 2001.
In the smaller ground floor gallery, Yang shall show Spring Story, an important work from 2003 that has never been shown in Beijing. Originally created for the Siemens Arts Program, Yang worked with over 1,500 employees of Siemens Shanghai Mobile Communications Ltd. to create a recitation of a seminal speech by Deng Xiaoping known as the “Southern Campaign Speech.” This speech, made in 1992 during Deng Xiaoping’s tour of southern China to gauge the success of his Reform and Opening, was used to garner support for the economic policies that now define China’s thirty years of economic growth. Yang asked each employee to recite just a few words from the speech without giving any context, and edited the result to create the entire speech. Each employee, embodying their role in a production line, recreated the speech part by part – the speech that paved the way for this factory, and their jobs, to exist.
Yang Zhenzhong has created a new work for the upstairs gallery: Wrong Way Round is a series of double portraits of people from all walks of life wearing their clothes or uniforms back to front. Each double portrait consists of a photograph of the person facing the camera and with their back to the camera. Either their face shows or their formal/social identity shows, but the two cannot coincide.
This group of three works each deal with identity and narrative as two separate aspects of reality that we often take for granted as being naturally contiguous. Yang has dissected the different aspects of this reality and rearranged them in a way that gives poetic insight to its mechanisms, and shows that what can be constructed can be taken apart.
