The “Reverie of Flame” exhibition, held at Septième from July 2nd to 17th, 2022, showcased candlesticks collected from art galleries in the UK by Ding, founder of the art studio 24poetic_archive. Each candlestick from the exhibition challenged traditional sculptural concepts, transforming industrial materials into non-stationary spatial artworks, revealing the expressive power and plasticity of metal which communicated both strength and delicate emotions. As a child of Ding’s love for medieval sculptural candlesticks, this exhibition was in the meantime the contemplation on the philosophical significance of the “fire carrier”as a spiritual tool in contemporary life.The exhibition was divided into three sections, introducing the last work of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard, “The Flame of a Candle”, taking thoughts into the room of a daydreamer, to read the fire, the container of the fire, and to embrace the tranquility generated by the fire.
“烛火的遐想者”展览于2022年7月2日至7月17日在SEPTIÈME举办，所呈现的烛台均为艺 术工作室24poetic_archive主理人Ding从英国艺廊收藏的二十世纪艺术级展品。每件烛台的设计师和艺术家试图挑战传统的雕塑观念，将工业材料转化为动态的空间性作品，由此揭示金属的表现力和可塑性，呈现出不同的效果。它们既具备张力，亦承载柔美的情绪。 此次展览亦是Ding对她一直以来钟爱中古雕塑烛台的思考表达——火之器皿作为精神物 在当代生活中的哲学意义。展览共分为三个章节，引入法国科学哲学家Gaston Bachelard最后一部著作《烛之火》，将思绪带入遐想者的房间，阅读火与之器皿，感受火带来的平静。
