    11.乔治·修拉(1859-1891)艺术中的社交隔离_PLS

    乔治·修拉(1859-1891)艺术中的社交隔离 翻译:诗验室 第二次醒来,数字手表显示:凌晨四时十一分 “欧洲新闻电视台”(静音)在屏幕上显示着 不同的国家与相应的统计数字。窗外,哥特式的树木 忧郁的静物,苹果手机与两本散落的书籍 《十九世纪法国艺术家》 与《当生命陷落时》(佩玛·丘卓) 修拉的《大碗岛的星期天下午》可能违反了 保持两米社交距离的规定,画中形象完美的父母 命令自己的小孩(很明显)要举止得当,一如那些刚从封城中解放 像鸭子一样在当地公园里蹒跚而行的人,戴着墨镜的慢跑者 绕着人工湖来回跑动,老人们 守丧者一样凝视着湖水 宠物狗系着绳(受命),排球 混合双打似乎是阳光下唯一的乐趣 —— 修拉笔下的大都市在沉闷而愉悦的朦胧中跳动着 除波光粼粼的小河之外,还有游艇、帆船、与地平线融成一体的巴黎—— 但是,是那些帽子、阳伞以及梦幻的轻松气氛让我决定拿起 红色马克笔,在两名骑兵、吹长号的怪人、争吵的男人、 与偷窥家庭野餐聚会的抽大烟者之间画出“←两米→” —— 《星球 C-19》会是一部关于滥杀无辜的 隐形病毒(情节有点弱)且枯燥无味的“星际迷航”系列 ‘这就是生活,吉姆,它不是我们想象中的那样’(这么快就中了,史波克先生) 我故意用很多“←两米→” 来“摧毁”修拉的精美绘画 (丘卓)就“亲近恐惧”与“当下这一刻是最好的老师” 提出佛学智慧,然后水壶开了 发出病态的音乐。“瑜伽有机助眠茶”包装的标签上 写着“耐心会有回报的”。“那些有吃有喝却仍旧不满的健康隔离者 从来都不是英雄。前线工作者才是英雄” —— 当地免费报纸这样宣称。 “欧洲新闻电视台”试图避开引起恐慌的内容,报道着人们在阳台上 互相交谈、购物者来回绕行只为安全回到车上 以及大量医院镜头、南美狮子大闹坟场 挖掘机随时待命的画面。喝茶吧,不要摸脸。 多年后,孩子们可能会在操场上 高唱:“叮叮当,叮叮当,新冠来啦。咳啊咳,吐啊吐。 我们都要倒”。还要多久,各大药店就会开始 销售“抗新冠口服液”与“升级版抗新冠口服液”:“不要在 开电动汽车时服药。”或者可能学校已不复存在, 一如曾经的山顶洞人、作衣物用的动物皮毛、 燧石用具与骨制针器 —— 有人在半夜发了条带笑脸表情的信息: “如果你听到一只手在水池里清洗的声音, 那么你就不是安全的。”

    11.Social Distancing in the art of Georges Seurat_Kevin Kiely

    Social Distancing in the art of Georges Seurat (1859-1891) by Kevin Kiely Awake a second time, the digital clock at 04.11    EuroNews(on mute) slides countries & statistics across the screen. Gothic trees beyond the window sill with the sad still life, iPhone and two stray books  Nineteenth Century French Artists  andWhen Things Fall Apart(Pema Chödrön) Seurat’sA Sunday on La Grande Jattemay be breaking the 2-metres social distancing, his perfectly painted parents catcalled their kids (obviously) to order like those on a break from lockdown who waddle nervous as ducklings in the local park where joggers wearing sunglasses endlessly circle the artificial lake, and elders are like mourners staring into the water the dogs on leads (by order), while the volley ball mixed-doubles seems to be the only fun in the sun— Seurat’s cosmopolitans pulsate in sombre sensual haze beside the glittering river, yachts, boats, Paris on the horizon— but it was the hats, umbrellas, the dreamy relaxation that made me grab the red marker and graffiti ←2Metres→ between his two dragoons, the freak playing the trombone, the guys rowing, the pipe smoker snooping on the family picnic— A Star Trek episodePlanet C-19would lack action about an invisible virus that kills at random (weak storyline) ‘It’s life Jim but not as we know it’ (Got it in one, Mr Spock) I wilfully ‘destroy’ Seurat’s beautiful painting with plenty ←2M→ (Chödrön) offers Buddhist heart advice on ‘intimacy with fear’ and ‘this very moment is the perfect teacher’ as the kettle boils making morbid music. The label on theYogi Organic Sleep Tea bag says ‘Patience Pays’. ‘Healthy lockdowners who are fed and fed up are never heroes. Frontline workers are the heroes’—the local free newspaper proclaims. EuroNewsattempts to evade the horrors, shows people talking balcony to balcony, shoppers zig-zagging to the safety of their cars and then lots of hospital footage, South American lion coloured graveyards with JCB diggers on standby. Drink your tea and don’t touch your face. It may be years before children in school-playgrounds chant: ‘Ring-A-Ring A-Covid. Cough Cough, Spit Spit. We All Fall Down’. And how long before the pharmacies sellCovidoxandCovidox (Extra Strength):‘don’t take while driving your electric car.’Or there may be no more schools, as once there were cave dwellers, animal skins for clothes, flint utensils and bone needles— Someone messaged around midnight with laughing emoticons: ‘If you hear the sound of one hand washing in the sink, you’re not staying safe.’
