2018年8月26日，由丁晓洁策划的展览项目《拿破仑》在黑桥M’STUDIO正式开幕，“拿破仑”原意是指蛋糕，在这里它既是对漫画一种简单的理解——奶油、甜蜜、大众，又代表了漫画里层层叠叠的叙事和图像，由于政府拆迁，黑桥已经成为一片废墟，作为独立空间，M’STUDIO几乎是黑桥的最后一道风景线，犹如法国皇帝拿破仑被流放的孤岛，既浪漫又透露出无奈和伤感。

On August 26, 2018, the exhibition "Napoleon" curated by Dana Ding was officially opened at M'STUDIO in Black Bridge. The original meaning of "Napoleon" refers to the dessert. Here it indicates people’s first impression of comics – creamy, sweet and a branch of the popular culture. It also represents the multi-layered narratives and images in the comics. Due to the government demolition, Black Bridge is now almost a wasteland. M'STUDIO, an independent art space, is one of the last remaining landmarks here. The venue is romantic but also helplessly sad, just like the isolated island to which the French emperor Napoleon was exiled.


参展艺术家能尖日和象牙塔是独立漫画群体的成员，她们的作品分别代表不同的风格和研究方向，能尖日的作品主张去叙事化，并用不同的媒介把“故事”分解成陌生而有趣的图像；象牙塔的作品理性、深邃，她用了将近十年的时间创作了《验光》，用200多页的创作描述了一秒钟的时间里无限延伸的图像组合。她们为漫画可以呈现出什么样的可能性进行了长期的实验，也带来了一些新的思考：一个故事是否可以具有形状？一秒钟我们可以看到什么样的世界？独立漫画是否具有实验性和前卫性？如何用展览呈现独立漫画？

The participating artists Nhozagri and Xiang Yata are both members of indie comics group. However, their styles are different and their focuses are different as well. Nhozagri chooses to weaken the narratives in her works, breaking down “stories” into strange and interesting images by using different types of media. Xiang Yata’s works are rational and profound. She has devoted nearly a decade to create Optometry, using more than 200 pages to describe the infinite combination of images in just one second. They have been working hard to explore the possibilities of comics, making us think about the following questions: Can a story have a shape? What world can we see in just one second? Can indie comics be experimental and avant-garde? How to present indie comics in an exhibition?
