Abstract

The solo exhibition, Nothing Matters, was installed on the mezzanine floor of an industrial panel beater warehouse at 400 Sydney Road, Durban, South Africa. The exhibition was open to the public from September-December 2021. The objective of the exhibition was to create ‘something’ of conceptual and aesthetic compulsion from a language of nothingness, whether it is ‘found’ in the surrounding temper of the public space or, in art, in various manifestations of the ‘dematerialised object’: the void; the empty canvas or gallery; the ‘invisible’ work; or the detritus of the everyday? The following is a dialogue between literary critic Michael Chapman and artist Greg Streak regarding the exhibition.

无的艺术，有的艺术：全球中的本地还是本地中的全球？

个展“无所谓”（Nothing Matters）安装在南非德班悉尼路400号一个工业面板搅拌器仓库的夹层。展览于2021年9月至12月向公众开放。展览的目的是从虚无的语言中创造出概念和美学强制的“东西”，无论它是在公共空间的周围环境中“发现”的，还是在艺术中，在“非物质化对象”的各种表现中：空虚；空荡荡的画布或画廊；“看不见的”工作；还是日常生活的碎屑？以下是文学评论家迈克尔·查普曼和艺术家格雷格·斯特里克就展览进行的对话。
