白立方巴黎正在举行由杰瑞·斯塔福德(Jerry Stafford)策划的群展“Rara Avis”(拉丁语意为:罕见的鸟类),汇聚了一系列以鸟为主题的古董、工艺品以及当代艺术作品。展览的这一标题既暗示了发现某种珍奇之物的美妙,同时又透露出失去与哀痛之伤。

策展人对鸟类学的长期痴迷深深根植于他的个人叙事中:鸟是一种从抑郁中逃离的个体象征,同时伊卡洛斯(因飞得离太阳过近而被烧焦翅膀落入了海里)和伽倪墨得斯(他因受宙斯喜爱,被巨鹰掳走至奥林匹斯山上为诸神斟酒)的神话故事也点缀着斯塔福德青少年时期的梦与幻想。

由此为出发点,展览通过来自不同文化和历史时期的精选作品,探索了鸟类作为信使以及代表了多重文化含义的角色。

斯塔福德表示:“鸟类是表演艺术家,是可变形的生物,是全球大使,是不同世界之间的信使;鸟类也是音乐大师和生物奇迹,它们短暂一瞬间或躲避式的存在及带来的意义,不仅强调了日常生活的意义也突显了我们潜意识的漫游。”
