纺织如何成为一种观看方式？
本期west bund voice，我们邀请到艺术家埃里克·N·麦克（Eric N. Mack）与外滩美术馆馆长及首席策展人朱筱蕤，为了外滩美术馆的新展“伟大的掩饰”( The Great Camouflage)，埃里克从纽约来到上海驻留近一个月。从走在上海街头、乘地铁、观察裁缝师傅的手艺，到城市中随处可见的材质、色彩与光线，所有经验都成为他感知空间的入口。作为以织物、光和空间构成绘画对象的艺术家，埃里克分享了他如何将丝绸、毛毯、吊床等日常材料转化为具有“重量”，“透明”，“呼吸感”的绘画与装置；如何让光线成为“笔触”，让观众的移动成为“构图”。除了艺术，他也谈到与时尚界的深度联结——从Virgil Abloh到Grace Wales Bonner，再到与中国设计师品牌SAMUEL GUÌ YANG的合作——这些跨界的能量如何反向滋养他的创作。01:47 Eric在上海的动态体验：文化与创作的交融06:04 绘画对Eric N.

Mack and X Zhu-Nowell, Director and Chief Curator of Rockbund Art Museum. Ahead of RAM’s new exhibition The Great Camouflage, Eric travelled from New York to Shanghai for nearly a month-long residency. From wandering the streets, taking the metro, observing local tailors at work, to encountering the city’s textures, colors, and light, every experience became an entry point into perceiving space.As an artist whose practice uses textiles, light, and spatial composition as the foundations of painting, Eric discusses how he transforms everyday materials—silk, blankets, hammocks—into paintings and installations that carry “weight,” “transparency,” and a sense of “breath.” He shares how light becomes a “brushstroke,” and how the movement of viewers becomes a new mode of “composition.”Beyond art, he also reflects on his deep connections to the fashion world—from Virgil Abloh to Grace Wales Bonner, and his collaboration with Chinese designer brand SAMUEL GUÌ YANG—and how these cross-disciplinary energies, in turn, nourish his work.01:47 Eric’s dynamic experiences in Shanghai: where culture meets creation 06:04 What painting means to Eric N.
