风的轨迹：二十世纪动态雕塑大师乔治·里基的艺术
In Motion：The Art of George Rickey
艺术家乔治·里基（George Rickey, b. 1907- 2002）是20世纪最重要的动态艺术家之一，其作品被全球150多家博物馆收藏。由UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心旗下UCCA Lab策划的2024年中国·上海静安国际雕塑展（JISP）正在展出三件大型乔治·里基风动雕塑作品。这不仅是乔治·里基（George Rickey）的作品首次在中国公共户外空间展出，更是其创作生涯中的重要代表作，完美展现了他对自然风力和机械平衡的精妙把控。

乔治·里基（George Rickey）的一生跨越多重文化与艺术领域，从美国到苏格兰的成长岁月，再到牛津与巴黎的求学之路，他始终将艺术探索融入自己的成长历程。即使在二战期间于美国陆军航空队服役时，里基对艺术的探究也从未停歇，将艺术与对机械和运动的观察研究相结合。这些丰富的经历最终塑造了他对艺术与机械运动的深刻理解。
此次讲座由UCCA Lab特别组织，邀请艺术家之子菲利普· 里基（Philip Rickey）首次在中国分享乔治·里基（George Rickey）的艺术生涯与人生旅程。在这次难得的机会中，他将带领我们回顾乔治· 里基从绘画创作到风动雕塑的转型历程，以及里基在雕塑和公共艺术领域留下的非凡贡献。

George Rickey (1907-2002, United States) is widely regarded as one of the most renowned kinetic artists of the 20th century, with his works featured in the permanent collections of over 150 museums worldwide. The 2024 China · Shanghai Jing'an International Sculpture Project (JISP), curated by UCCA Lab, is proudly presenting three monumental kinetic sculptures by Rickey at Shanghai's Jing'an Sculpture Park. This marks not only the first public outdoor exhibition of his works in China but also highlights key pieces from his artistic career, showcasing his mastery of balancing natural wind forces with mechanical precision.

《分合柱II》Breaking Column II
不锈钢 Stainless steel
Height: 574 cm
1989
George Rickey's life spanned multiple cultures and artistic disciplines. Born in the US and raised in Scotland, Rickey incorporated artistic exploration into his studies at Oxford and Paris. Even during his time in the Army Air Corps during WWII, Rickey worked to expand his artistic knowledge, combining it with his observations and studies of mechanics and motion.
This lecture, specially curated by UCCA Lab, will feature Philip Rickey, the son of George Rickey, sharing insights into Rickey's artistic journey and life story for the first time in China. In this rare opportunity, Philip will guide us through Rickey's transition from painting to kinetic sculpture and highlight Rickey's lasting contributions to the fields of sculpture and public art.

《三个方块的回旋I》Three Squares Gyratory I
不锈钢 Stainless steel
442 × 426.7 cm
1975
上海静安雕塑公园展出的乔治·里基三件大型动态雕塑，是艺术家作品在中国的首次呈现。这些专为公共空间打造的雕塑作品，富有诗意且精妙绝伦，它们随风而动，进一步凸显了周围景观中的光线、动态、色彩和空间感。这三件作品曾于纽约标志性的公园大道中央长廊展出，是里基最复杂的创作之一，巧妙地打破了几何形态的静态感。其中，《分合柱II》（1989）的柱体分合自如；《四个L的离心II》（1987-1990）的L型组件沿锥形弧线摆动；而《三个方块的回旋I》（1975）的三个方块则能360°旋转。
George Rickey’s first presentation in China features three monumental kinetic sculptures on view at Shanghai’s Jing’an Sculpture Park. Designed for the public sphere, Rickey’s poetic and precisely-calibrated works move with the wind, heightening elements of light, movement, color, and scale in the surrounding landscape. Last seen as installations along New York’s iconic Park Avenue Mall, these works are among Rickey’s most complex, playfully disrupting the static demeanor of geometric form. The discrete components of Breaking Column II (1989) fall apart and reassemble, while the elements of Four Ls Excentric II (1987-90) swing along a conical arc and those of Three Squares Gyratory I (1975) rotate 360°.
