邓泰 Deng Tai
邓泰的人生与抱负对我们所有人,以及所有认为自己能力上或经济上不足以进入国内外知名艺术学校的年轻艺术家都是严肃的一课,泰泰正是一位这样的艺术家,他毕业于成都的普通大学,主修市场经营,却从中了解到自己的梦想属于北京舞台,转而在中国当代艺术的快速步伐中挣扎寻找自己的位置。在观察周遭环境并且尝试过各种创意手法后,他理解自己的艺术必须透过镜头来表现。对邓泰而言,整个人生就是一场演出,他所前去的方向以及他的所作所为,都带着超越与梦想的可能性。他无惧于任何推升到极致的行为,从而能发掘并表达内心最深处的愿望、恐惧与喜乐。既像个孩子又像个老师,他很自然地让周遭的人了解什么是诚实地活着,以及什么是与遗弃同存。
他于2012年7月5日的离去至今仍震撼着所有熟识他的人,24岁的英年早逝对所有人而言都是一个巨大的损失,望远镜对邓泰其人生怀抱著特殊的敬意与感激,并非常荣幸能将这位实至名归的艺术家与其摄影作品呈现在大众面前。
Deng Tai’s life and ambition is a lesson for us all and any young aspiring artist who thinks they cannot make it or do not have the finances to attend one the prominent art schools in China or abroad. Taitai was one of those young artists. From a marketing student in a small Chengdu university to realizing his dream on the stage of Beijing, he struggled to find a place for himself in the fast paced Chinese contemporary art world. By constantly observing his surroundings, trying every idea and creative avenue he could find, he finally realized through the camera that he was his art. Life was a performance for Deng Tai. Wherever he went and whatever he did held the possibility of transcendence and dream. He was fearless in his actions, forever pushing limits to discover and express his innermost longings, fears, and joys. Always a child and always a teacher he naturally instructed those around him in how to live life honestly and with abandon.
His untimely death, 2012 July 5, is still a shock to all who knew him. His loss is great even at the young age of 24. It is with special gratitude to his life and honor for us that Telescope is able to exhibit for the first time the photos of a very deserving artist, Deng Tai.
