We Are Dust And Shadows

Marco Abrate & Linlu Zhang

2026年5月10日下午3时，「我们是尘埃和影子｜We Are Dust And Shadows」——Marco & Linlu双个展于南希画廊（艺河湾艺术区）开幕。展览呈现两位艺术家的近期创作：Linlu（张林璐）以钢板、水泥、石膏、茶叶等材质为媒介，持续关注时间与物质留下的细微痕迹；Marco Abrate（马可·阿布拉特）则通过旧门、宣纸与水泥，在可见与不可见之间构筑出富有诗意的感知空间，其作品涵盖“槛｜Thresholds” “白色记忆｜White Memories” “流逝之影｜Passing Shadows”等系列。

On May 10, 2026, at 3 p.m., We Are Dust and Shadows — a duo project by Marco Abrate and Linlu — opened at Nancy’s Gallery, Art Flow. The exhibition presents the artists’ recent works: Linlu explores subtle traces of time and material through steel, cement, plaster, and tea leaves; Marco Abrate engages old doors, rice paper, and cement to create poetic perceptual spaces between the visible and invisible. The works include series such as Thresholds, White Memories, and Passing Shadows.

本次开幕式汇聚了众多艺术爱好者、藏家及业内人士。展览由南希画廊主理人Nancy女士出品，菲利波·莫莱亚·切拉诺（Filippo Mollea Ceirano）担任策展人，上海大学上海美术学院博士、策展人、艺术评论家于蒙群老师担任学术主持。艺河湾艺术区董事长兼泰美术馆馆长尹安泰先生亦莅临开幕现场并致辞。展览将持续至2026年6月18日。

The opening of We Are Dust and Shadows welcomed a distinguished gathering of art lovers, collectors, and professionals. Presented by Nancy, director of Nancy's Gallery, curated by Filippo Mollea Ceirano, and academically hosted by Dr. Yu Mengqun, the exhibition also featured remarks from Mr. Yin Antai, Chairman of the Art Flow Art District and Director of Tai Art Museum. The show will remain on view until June 18, 2026.

嘉宾致辞 The guests' speech

南希画廊主理人Nancy女士致辞

南希画廊主理人Nancy女士首先向到场嘉宾致以欢迎。她表示，「 我们是尘埃和影子 」不仅是一场双个展，更是一次关于“可见与不可见”的探索。张林璐与Marco Abrate以各自独特的艺术语言，试图触碰那些难以言说却真实存在的微妙经验。在一个愈发喧嚣与快速的时代，艺术或许提供了一种重新回到内心与交流本源的可能。两位艺术家的创作，也在东方哲学的“留白”与西方关于感知与存在的思考之间，形成了一种微妙的对话。Nancy女士同时表示，年轻艺术家的创作需要被持续关注与支持，而画廊的意义，正在于让更多真诚而具有思考性的作品被看见。

Nancy, director of Nancy's Gallery, welcomed the guests, presenting We Are Dust and Shadows as more than a double-solo exhibition—a meditation on the “visible and the invisible.” Linlu (Zhang Linlu) and Marco Abrate, each in their own language, explore subtle, inexpressible experiences. In a fast-paced, noisy world, their works offer a return to the inner self and the essence of connection, bridging the “emptiness” of Eastern philosophy with Western reflections on perception and existence. Nancy emphasized that young artists deserve sustained support, and that the gallery’s mission is to bring thoughtful, sincere works into the public eye.

艺河湾艺术区董事长兼泰美术馆馆长尹安泰先生致辞

艺河湾艺术区董事长兼泰美术馆馆长尹安泰先生在致辞中表示，自2018年以来，他始终关注并支持青年艺术家的成长，也深知艺术道路背后的坚持与不易。面对当下环境，他认为艺术行业更需要一种“长期主义”的信念，真正有价值的文化积累，终将随着时间显现。他同时表示，随着中国社会与经济的发展，艺术文化也将拥有更广阔的空间。希望从事艺术行业的同仁们能够坚定信心，持续深耕。

Mr. Yin Antai, Chairman of Art Flow and Director of Tai Art Museum, reflected on his ongoing support for young artists since 2018, acknowledging the perseverance and dedication that the artistic journey demands. In today’s ever-changing environment, he emphasized the importance of “long-term vision,” reminding us that truly enduring cultural achievements unfold gradually over time. With the steady growth of Chinese society and economy, he believes the horizon for art and culture is expanding ever wider. He concluded with a note of encouragement: may all who work in the arts remain steadfast, nurturing their practice with patience and commitment.

学术主持于蒙群老师致辞

于蒙群老师谈到，Marco与林璐两位艺术家的创作，触及了身份政治与跨文化叙事等更深层的议题。Marco虽来自意大利，其作品却蕴含着某种东方心性的气息；而林璐的创作，则在细腻的材料语言中保留着关于感知与经验的思考。他认为，两位艺术家并未借助既定语言去表达，而是以“无语义”的痕迹，触碰那些难以言说的心理空间。面对他们的作品，我们无法仅凭逻辑去“阅读”，而更需要以感知去接近。于蒙群老师同时表示，当下远非艺术的“末法时代”，反而更需要持续发现与扶持真正具有潜力的青年艺术家。唯有如此，艺术生态才能不断生长。

Dr. Yu Mengqun observed that Marco and Linlu’s works delve into profound themes of identity and cross-cultural experience. Marco, though Italian, imbues his work with a subtle Eastern sensibility; Linlu, through her nuanced handling of materials, evokes a quiet meditation on perception and lived experience.Rather than relying on fixed language, the artists leave “asemic” traces that gesture toward the ineffable realms of the psyche. Their works cannot be simply read—they must be felt, intuited, and experienced. Dr. Yu further reflected that this is far from an “end of art” moment; it is, in fact, a time to patiently discover and nurture emerging artists whose potential will sustain the future of the artistic ecosystem.

艺术家Marco Abrate致辞

Marco Abrate 在致辞中表示，能够在上海呈现此次展览，他深感荣幸，并感谢画廊、策展人与所有促成展览的人。

他的创作通过“幻想性视错觉知觉”（Pareidolia）——人类倾向于在物质、纹理和痕迹中识别潜在图像——探索感知与投射之间的不稳定边界。他以被时间、灰尘、裂缝、石膏、木材和侵蚀标记的表面为创作媒介，构建出图像逐渐浮现的条件，使之悬置于显现与消逝之间。

展览核心的“槛（Threshold）”概念不仅仅是建筑元素，更是一种介于可见与不可见、记忆与想象、缺席与识别之间的感知空间。通过这一理念，展览反思了图像的生成、解读与文化翻译过程。

借鉴西方当代思想与东方哲学，Abrate 引用了老子的观点：缺失或空无往往承载着最深刻的意义。作品不呈现固定的叙事，而是邀请观众进入一种缓慢的观察过程，在不确定性、距离感与感知中让意义逐渐显现。

Marco Abrate expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to present his work in Shanghai and acknowledged the institutions, curators, and collaborators who contributed to the exhibition.

His research investigates the unstable boundary between perception and projection through the phenomenon of pareidolia, the human tendency to recognize latent images within matter, textures, and traces. Working with surfaces marked by time, dust, cracks, plaster, wood, and erosion. Abrate constructs conditions in which figures emerge gradually, suspended between presence and disappearance.

At the center of the exhibition is the concept of the “Threshold”: not simply as an architectural element, but as a perceptual space between visible and invisible, memory and imagination, absence and recognition. Through this idea, the exhibition reflects on how images are formed, interpreted, and culturally translated.

Referencing both Western contemporary thought and Eastern philosophy, Abrate evokes Laozi’s idea that what is absent or empty often carries the deepest meaning. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, the works invite viewers into a slower process of observation, where meaning emerges through uncertainty, distance, and perception.

艺术家Linlu Zhang 张林璐致辞

Linlu在致辞中表示，自己的创作始终与语言有关，却又难以被语言真正解释。对她而言，创作更像是一种沉默的对话——那些无法被立即说清的感受，往往通过痕迹、重复、覆盖与时间，被缓慢地保留下来。

她谈到，人们总希望通过语言去理解作品，但真正想靠近的，或许并不是一个明确的答案，而是艺术家感知世界的方式，以及创作发生时真实存在的状态。许多重要的经验——关于记忆、感受与身体的部分，其实始终无法被完整翻译。

因此，艺术并不一定在于“解释清楚”，而更像是让那些难以言说的东西被重新感知。她也希望观众能够在观看作品的过程中，于材料、表面与细节之间，找到属于自己的经验与记忆。

In her remarks, Linlu reflected that her practice has always been intertwined with language, yet it eludes full articulation. For her, creation is a form of silent dialogue—those sensations that cannot be immediately expressed are gradually preserved through traces, repetition, layering, and the passage of time.

She observed that while audiences often seek to decode artworks through language, what they truly long for is not a definitive answer, but a glimpse into the artist’s mode of perceiving the world and the authentic state in which creation unfolds. Many essential experiences—of memory, sensation, and the body—cannot be fully translated.

Thus, art is not about “explaining,” but about making the ineffable perceptible anew. Linlu hopes that viewers, through engagement with the materials, surfaces, and subtle details of her work, may encounter experiences and memories uniquely their own.

关于艺术家 About the Artist

Marco Abrate (artist name: Rebor)

马可·阿布拉特（艺术家名：Rebor）出生于1996年，是一位活跃于国际舞台的视觉艺术家。他的实践在雕塑绘画、装置和数字语言之间展开。其研究核心是幻想性视错觉(Pareidolia): 这是一种感知与想象的协作过程，他通过这一过程揭示物质内部存在的形式与形态，将墙面视为呈现隐藏图像的媒介。

通过这种视觉机制，阿布拉特深入探讨了爱、哀悼、丧失、转型，以及存在与缺席之间的张力。幻想性视错觉结合脆弱的表面与剥落的灰泥，成为了艺术家抵御数字时代图像僵化倾向的阻力工具。艺术评论家乔治·博诺米（Giorgio Bonomi）曾对其作品进行深度评析，并为其2020年在米兰举行的首场个展撰写了策展序言。

Born in 1996, Marco Abrate (artist name: Rebor) is an internationally active visual artist. His practice unfolds between sculptural painting, installation, and digital languages. The core of his research is  pareidolia: a perceptual and imaginative process through which he unveils presences and forms within matter. The wall as a surface that reveals hidden images.

Through this visual device, Abrate explores in depth themes such as love, mourning, loss, transformation, and the tension between presence and absence. Pareidolia, combined with fragile surfaces and crumbling plaster, becomes for the artist a tool of resistance against the rigidity of the image in the digital age. His work has been examined by art critic Giorgio Bonomi, who wrote the curatorial text for his first solo exhibition in Milan in 2020.

Linlu Zhang 张林璐

张林璐（b.1996）是一位活跃于伦敦与上海之间的当代艺术家，毕业于英国皇家艺术学院。她的创作横跨版画、装置与跨媒介实践，长期研究无语义书写（asemic writing），将书写时的行为、材料的变化与时间的痕迹作为承载记忆与潜在交流的媒介。

她的艺术方法以无语义书写为核心，让感知与情绪成为作品的重点。在她的作品中，记忆不被直接再现，而是以物质形式被保存和转化，使观者思考意义如何生成。通过去除可读的文字信息，作品不再依赖“理解内容”，而是通过文化、视觉与身体经验直接影响观者。无语义书写不再只是文本，而成为一种“物”，其重点不在于是否可读，而在于让观者感受人与语言之间的关系，并参与意义的生成过程。

Linlu Zhang (b. 1996) is a contemporary artist active between London and Shanghai, who graduated from the Royal College of Art in the UK. Her practice spans printmaking, installation, and cross-media approaches. Through a long-term research focus on asemic writing, she utilizes the physical act of writing, the transformation of materials, and the traces of time as mediums to carry memory and potential communication.

Her artistic methodology is centered on asemic writing, bringing perception and emotion to the forefront of her work. In her creations, memories are not directly represented but rather transformed into material forms, prompting the viewer to reflect on how meaning is generated. By stripping away legible textual information, her works no longer rely on the "comprehension of content"; instead, they directly impact the audience through cultural, visual, and somatic experiences. Its primary focus is no longer legibility, but rather inviting viewers to experience the relationship between humanity and language, actively participating in the process of generating meaning.
