光社荣幸呈现德国艺术家卡婷卡·柏克（Katinka Bock）在中国的首场个展"NIKOS"，展出艺术家自2015年至今的逾30件摄影和影像作品，以及数件为此次展览全新创作的雕塑作品。
柏克的摄影作品大多拍摄于家庭、城市或自然环境之中，展现了柏克对于物体、空间、身体和生命的“雕塑观”。而她对于图像的创作动力通常来源于对形式或关系之特性的敏锐观察。与她的雕塑一样，柏克的摄影充满了自发性，专注于捕捉世界的活力，并将图像从过度控制或过于强烈的意图中解放出来。同时，柏克总会根据空间的特性来构建展览，在思维空间和物理空间的互文之间，通过激发材料、现成物和图像的潜能，唤起观众的情感与思索。
此次展览由阿那亚艺术中心馆长张震中策划，并得到了乔斯林·沃尔夫画廊和法国驻华大使馆的大力支持，作为“中法文化之春——中法建交60周年特别呈现”的一部分。展览将从2024年5月22日对公众开放，并持续到10月8日。

Light Society is delighted to announce the German artist Katinka Bock's first solo exhibition in China, titled 'NIKOS', featuring almost 30 pieces of her photographic works since 2015, along with newly commissioned sculptures produced specifically for this exhibition.
Most of Bock's photographic works were taken in domestic, urban or natural environments, demonstrating the artist’s 'sculptural view' on objects, spaces, bodies, and life. Her creative drive for image-making often stems from keen observations of the characteristics of forms or relationships. Like her sculptures, Bock's photography is spontaneous, focused on capturing the vitality of the world, and freeing images from excessive control or overly intensive objectives. At the same time, Bock always conceives her exhibitions based on the idea of space, fostering interactions and couplets between both mental and physical ones. By stimulating the potential of materials, found objects, and images, she evokes emotions and contemplation in the audience.
The exhibition is curated by Damien Zhang, director of Aranya Art Center, and supported by Galerie Jocelyn Wolff and Ambassade de France en Chine as part of the 'Croisement 60' programme. The exhibition will open to the public from May 22nd, to October 8th, 2024.
卡婷卡·柏克（Katinka Bock）出生于1976年的法兰克福。从2001年开始，她居住在柏林及巴黎两地。
柏克在创作媒介上偏向使用低调和自然的材料，例如陶土、木料、石膏、陶瓷、皮革、织物等。通过使用简单而精细的手法，她经常将材料与现成物联系在一起。对于艺术家来说，被使用过的材料拥有某种超越了物质性的特质。这些材料同时也具有挑衅性，因为它们在进行概念化的过程中能够激发深层的、立即的情感。在她的创作中，柏克先要了解展览空间，再用她的作品与之共鸣。同样地，她也用作品创作出思维空间，低调地邀请观众来反思和自省。
柏克曾参与过大量的艺术驻地项目，包括在法国、美国、德国和意大利的美地奇庄园（罗马，2012-2013）。在2012年，她获得保乐力加企业基金会杰出艺术家奖。在2015年，她获得西班牙博坦基金会的视觉艺术奖。她也被提名马塞尔·杜尚奖并获得法国 1% Marché de l'art 奖。

Katinka Bock was born in 1976 in Frankfurt am Main. Since 2001, she lives and works between Berlin and Paris.
Katinka Bock has a predilection for modest and natural materials like terracotta, wood, plaster, ceramic, leather and fabric. With a sort of delicate simplicity, she often associates these materials to found objects. For the artist, used materials hold a sense of something beyond their materiality. They are provocative because of the way in which they evoke deep, immediate emotions that precede conceptualisation. In her practice, Bock invests in the exhibition spaces and conceives her works in resonance. Just the same, she crafts a mental space in her work to subtly invite spectator to reflect.
Katinka Bock has been selected for artist residencies in France, USA, Germany and Italy at the Villa Medici, Rome in 2012-2013. In 2012 she was winner of the prestigious Fondation d’entreprise Ricard prize, France. In 2015 she received the Visual Arts Grant of the Fundación Botín, Spain. She was nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp, France, and won the Prix de production 1% Marché de l'art, France.
