Constellation Forest 2018 3.3 x 10 x 7m American Pine, Larch, Hemlock and White Pine&nbsp;&nbsp;Working together since the early 1990s, Inga Svala Thórsdóttir and Wu Shanzhuan’s partnership reflects a symbiotic, creative dialogue. Their individual practices merge to reflect one artist’s complexity and the other’s purity, with a polarity that is evident in this work. The wooden architecture offers the audience passage for activation. It is also a cosmic site for contemplation and intimacy. The artists invite you to move through the environment to experience it from alternative perspectives, both introspectively and alongside the pauses and transits of others. Questioning the very nature of being, the duo offers a sacred space for worship, or a place of meeting to reflect and breathe – inward and outward. Inga Svala Thórsdóttir graduated in 1991 from the Painting Department of the Icelandic School of Arts and Crafts, and in 1995 from the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg. In 1993 she founded Thor’s Daughter’s Pulverization Service, and in 1999 she founded BORG.Wu Shanzhuan graduated from the Education Department of the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in 1986 and in 1995 from the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg. In 1985 he founded Red Humour, and in 1990 he founded Red Humour International.《拱林》 2018 3.3 x 10 x 7 米 美國松、落葉松、鐵杉和白松吳山專和英格．斯瓦拉．托斯朵蒂爾自1990年代起開始合作，其夥伴關係展現了一種共生並具創造力的對話。他們融合各自的藝術實踐，表現出一方的複雜性和另一方的單純性，這種截然對立的傾向在作品中顯然易見。作品的木質結構為觀眾提供行走的通道。這也是一處讓人沉思和親密的巨大場所。藝術家邀請你遊走於場景中，以不同視覺體驗作品，包括內省及他人的駐足與擦身而過。這對拍檔提供了一個供崇拜的神聖空間，或是一個作為反思和喘息的聚會場所，對內和對外地討論存在的本質。英格．斯瓦拉．托斯朵蒂爾1991年畢業於冰島藝術學院繪畫系，1995年畢業於漢堡藝術學院自由藝術系。1993，她創立了雷神女兒粉化服務，並於1999年創立BORG藝術機構。吳山專1986年畢業於浙江美術學院師範系，1995年畢業於漢堡藝術學院自由藝術系。1985年，他創立了紅色幽默，並於1990年創立國際紅色幽默。
