蒋志的作品充满了重复:从“颤抖”,“娇羞”,“对不起”,“谢幕”,“木木”,到近期的“安静的身体”,“歌喉”,“片刻之光”…这里的“重复”不仅仅是形式上的重复:“一再而再”;不仅仅是现成品一般的对生活片断的截取与再现:“重新再一次”;同样不是工业生产上的:“再多”;更不是精神分析中对第一次满足的经验追求:“再如初次”。
《窄门》试图探讨的是艺术品与其展览的事件性,其本身对“事件”与“主观”的抓取,对“意义”的生成,对“重复”的重复并把作品甚至展览推至“差异”的临界。
这里的问题,并不是“为什么重复?”而是“我们在试图构造一个什么样的过程?一个什么样的整体?而在这个状态下,重复成为了必须?”

Jiang Zhi’s works are full of repetitions, from Tremble, Maiden, Sorry, Curtain Call, MuMu to the latest works The Quiet Bodies, Voice, and The Light of Transience… The repetition here is not merely a formal one –“time and time again”, nor a straightforward extraction and representation of life – “once again”, nor that of industrial productions – “more”, and even less so, the pursuit of the first satisfaction in psychoanalysis – “like the first time”.
Strait is the Gate attempts to discuss the eventuality of the work and the exhibition itself – grasping events and subjectivity, the creation of meaning, the repeat of repetitions and pushing the work and even the exhibition to the edge of differentiation.
“Why repeat?” is not the question raised here, but rather, “what kind of process is it that we are trying to construct? What is it as a whole? Is it that in this state, repetition has become a necessity?”
