空想重置
RÊVERIE RESET
装置艺术，2016-2017
颜磊的艺术实践常常质询图像的文化相关性。他采用数字技术对照片进行分解，并最终以绘画行为来完成。艺术家不断质疑图像“再现”（representation）这个行为当中所隐含的相关性，同时强调绘画图像的过剩本质。颜磊的创造性过程也可被视为某种破坏（destructive）实践，它和观念主义十分相近，一层一层的观念被堆叠在视觉表达之上。这个行为将现实主义的再现缩减为抽象的单色。
《空想重置》是一个系统，它延续了颜磊将图像消解为概念的实践，并由此开展一个新的开拓性尝试。这件作品将呈现一个大型装置，其采用最新的计算机计算系统和网络技术，重申艺术家关于再现之人造性和图像之相关性的观点。
In his artistic practice, Yan Lei constantly inquires into the cultural relevance of the image. He applies digital techniques and decomposes photographs which eventually he paints. The artist recursively questions the relevance implicit in the act of representation, while emphasizing the superfluous nature of the painted image. One could refer to Yan Lei’s creative process as a destructive practice, one closer to conceptualism; layers of ideas superposed over visual expression, an action that reduces realistic representations into abstract monochromes.
Rêverie Reset is a system which takes Yan Lei’s practice of dissolving images into concepts to a new instance. A large scale installation which makes use of cutting edge computational systems and networking technologies in order to reaffirm the artist’s notion of the artificiality of representation and the irrelevance of the image.
哥萨克
COSSACK
影像，
2015
这是2015年乌拉尔双年展上颜磊的作品，根据脑子里的哥萨克的概念中的图像形成的：十来个哥萨克骑兵集中在一个6平米的房间里舞弄着马刀，这些哥萨克人同时做出的动作和马刀之间以及磕撞墙壁的声音，会传出这个空间，与展览现场的空间构成了一种空间和能量关系的不匹配。
This is Yan Lei’s work in Ural Biennale 2015. It is based on the artist’s conceptual imagination image of Cossack: a dozen Cossack cavalry gathered in a 6 square meter room, brandishing sabers. The sound of their movements and the collision of sabers and walls, will spread out of the room, constituting a mismatch of proportion and energy with the exhibition space.
利悟利
RÊVERIE
个展，
2015
颜磊为红砖美术馆制作的新计划，简单地以“利悟利”的名称作为标题。这事对“颠覆”的再一次尝试，而且是更壮观的展示。
Yan Lei’s new project for Red Brick At Museum uses very simply the name of “Rêverie” as its title. This is a renewed and even more spectacular demonstration of the attempt of “subversion”.
