死脑筋 Blockhead

8.20—10.20, 2018 / 中国深圳

死脑筋都有执念，彷佛是有惯性在牵引着，相信甚至是偏执地投入到一个行为当中。不论行为是否重复无意义，不论信念引领的结果是否如愿，“做”这个动作都是持续发生的。社会学家马克斯·韦伯认为：“人是悬挂在自己编织的意义之网上的动物”。死脑筋的过程就像是筑巢，一点点地给自己安全感，现代人便习惯于蜷缩在自我营造的这个舒适圈里。然而，我们究竟是在渴望什么？是渴望死守信念？还希望尽可能地看清这个世界和自我？

结合当代语境，本土创造以创业初始延用至今的混凝土作为媒介，制成大脑作为“死脑筋”的物化象征。与本土一间·质造所联合策划实验性的《死脑筋－混凝土材质观念展》，通过探讨“死脑筋”在当代社会的分化形态，引导观者关注周遭环境和世界，反视、感知、表达，在互动中不断自我更新与补充。

The blockhead will always have an obsessiveness. They believe in or even be paranoid in an behavior as if they have been pulled by an inertia force. No matter the behavior is repeated or not, no matter how the result will be, they just keep doing. The sociologist Maximilian Emil Weber once said "Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun." Being a blockhead is just like nesting, giving oneself a sense of security bit by bit and eventually curling oneself up in the self-made comfort zone. However, what do we actually desire for? Desire to keep our faith or hope to see world and ourselves as clear as possible?

Combined with the contemporary context, BENTU takes concrete, the material that has been used since founded, as the materialized medium of the status of blockhead. BENTU together with BENTU MATERIAL have curated an experimental exhibition "Blockhead - Concrete Material Concept Exhibition", exploring differentiated forms of "blockhead" in contemporary society, and guiding the viewers to pay attention to the world and surrounding environment with reverse view, perception and expression, then renew and replenish oneself in the interaction.
