協力空间欣然呈现群展《双倍引力》（Duoscapes），本次展览汇聚了两组艺术家组合：来自中国的葡萄军舰（Grapebattleships），以及来自英国的麦克与菲（MSR FCJ）。两组艺术家主要以协作绘画为创作方式，围绕“双重作者身份”之间的动态关系展开探究，审视两个主体之间所存在的张力、碰撞，以及彼此牵引的双倍引力。
在共同创作的过程中，这两组艺术家发展出了各自独特的创作体系，揭示出同时并存的多重张力。两组皆以“反应性”为核心展开创作，但路径各异。麦克与菲（MSR FCJ）倾向于一种自发且直觉化的创作方式，在持续的拉扯与对抗中展开工作，由对立的输入推动出一种即时、未被预设的图像回应与生成。相较之下，葡萄军舰（Grapebattleships）则采取更为审慎的方式，从对内容与概念的细致讨论出发，通过反复沟通逐步建构出清晰的画面结构。他们的作品常呈现并置关系，通过成对的图像生成一种延展的反应机制。
“双倍引力”这一概念贯穿整个展览，既作用于创作过程，也体现在形式之中。葡萄军舰（Grapebattleships）明确地围绕“二元性”与“双重视域”展开创作，在成对元素之间构建视觉对话。而麦克与菲（MSR FCJ）则以更为个人化的感知来回应这种奇异引力，通过描绘那些在空间中流动、彼此对抗的无形之物来展现这一主题。

在本次展览中，葡萄军舰（Grapebattleships）与麦克与菲（MSR FCJ）分别呈现出两种截然不同的作品体系，共同探讨存在于“双重性”之中的张力与宇宙能量——无论是在协作机制还是图像表达之中。《双倍引力》在協力空间这一恰如其分的场域中展开，捕捉并呈现出两种实践方式、两种创作流程以及两种观看方式之间的动态交织。
常驻柏林的葡萄军舰（Grapebattleships）作为艺术家与设计师组成的组合，合作创作使他们各自不同的生活经验与观察视角在同一画面中融合。他们在落笔之前往往进行充分而细致的讨论，以内容与理念为起点，通过反复沟通逐渐形成清晰的画面。其作品议题广泛，但常以幽默、荒诞的小品形式呈现，营造出一种看似“无厘头”的表面气质。在轻松的叙事背后，实际上隐藏着对社会现实的观察与反思，呈现出类似《等待戈多》中“意义在荒诞中生成”的戏剧性张力。他们的创作更多源于东西方世界观与价值观差异所带来的视角错位，并在这种差异中展开辩证性的思考。
在形式上，他们的绘画往往呈现出鲜明的对仗结构与互文关系。画面中的图像彼此呼应、相互补充，不仅在叙事层面形成延展，也在形式层面构成疏密与松紧之间的平衡。多元文化的生活经验，使他们能够从日常细节出发，在微观叙事中映射更宏观的社会结构与世界图景。

在麦克与菲（MSR FCJ）的作品中，具象的痕迹常常在抽象的语言之下若隐若现。两位艺术家皆有插画与绘画背景，并活跃于自出版、漫画与杂志文化的语境之中，因此他们的绘画中常融入实验性、私人化的人物与图像母题。其涂绘的线条仿佛圆珠笔或彩色铅笔般，带有随手涂鸦的质感，犹如从口袋中随意翻出的草图。在协作过程中，他们展开一种有意识且往往近乎残酷的图像交换，不断覆盖彼此的痕迹，在反复叠加中破坏与遮蔽对方既有的图像，从而强化那些残留痕迹的重要性，并为即兴的偶然与新的发现保留空间。变异与转化的主题贯穿其创作——无论是通过切割、拼贴、缝合，或是如同“弗兰肯斯坦式”的图像重组，亦或是阻断流动线条的浓重色块——其作品不断生成出陌生而奇异的人物与场景。麦克与菲（MSR FCJ）的绘画体现出对协作视觉语言的持续探索。在其实验性的创作方法之下，人物、物件与场景逐渐显现，在复杂而层叠的画面结构中隐约指向个人化的叙事与含义。
这场展览正如乔治·巴塔耶在《文学与恶》中所言：“艺术真正的美存在于放纵与约束之间的拉扯。”（The true beauty of an artwork resides in the tension between excess and restraint.）

展览特别鸣谢：以是空间｜Gallery deSein
Double Double Gallery is pleased to present Duoscapes, a group exhibition bringing together two artist duos: MSR FCJ (UK) and Grapebattleships (China). Working primarily in collaborative painting, both pairs investigate the dynamic interplay between dual authorship, exploring tension, collision and the shared gravity that exists between two entities.
Through shared making, both partnerships have developed unique working systems that reveal simultaneous tensions. Each duo engages with reactivity, but from differing perspectives. MSR FCJ embrace a spontaneous and intuitive process, working in a constant push-and-pull dynamic where opposing inputs drive a reactive, unplanned exchange of mark marking. In contrast, Grapebattleships adopt a more deliberate approach, beginning with detailed discussions of content and concept before gradually constructing compositions. Their works often feature juxtaposed elements, with reactivity emerging through paired imagery.
The notion of a “shared gravity” resonates throughout the exhibition, underpinning both process and form. Grapebattleships engage explicitly with ideas of duality and “double vision,” creating visual dialogues between paired elements. MSR FCJ, meanwhile, approach this strange gravity through a more personal sensibility, by depicting the intangible currents that flow between space that are in a constant battle with one and other.
Together, MSR FCJ and Grapebattleships present two distinct bodies of work that examine the tension and cosmic energy inherent in duality—both in collaboration and imagery. Duoscapes, aptly held at Double Double Gallery, captures the dynamic interplay between two practices, two processes, and two ways of seeing.
In the works of MSR FCJ, figurative traces often emerge subtly beneath an abstract language. Both artists, with backgrounds in illustration and drawing within the self-publishing, comic, and zine scenes, frequently incorporate experimental, personal, cartoon-like figures and motifs into their paintings. Their scribbled lines of paint—reminiscent of biro pens or coloured pencils—evoke doodles one might find in a back pocket. In collaboration, they engage in a deliberate and often brutal exchange of image-making, repeatedly layering over one and other, destroying and obscuring each others previous marks, emphasising the traces left behind, and allowing for spontaneous chance and discovery. Themes of mutation and transformation run strong through the cutting, collaging, sewing, or ‘Frankensteining’ images, or through the interruption of fluid lines with dense pools of colour, their work allows strange, unfamiliar characters and scenes to emerge organically.
MSR FCJ’s paintings demonstrate an ongoing exploration of collaborative visual language. Through their experimental approach, figures, objects, and scenes gradually reveal themselves, hinting at personal narratives and meanings within complex, layered compositions.
Grapebattleships based in Berlin, consist of an artist and designer. Their collaboration merges distinct life experience and perspectives within an single image. They engage in thorough and detailed discussions before painting, starting from content and concept, and gradually forming clear compositions through repeated communication. Their works cover a wide range of themes, often presented in humorous and absurd vignette-like forms, creating an apparently nonsensical surface. Beneath this light narrative lies a reflection on social reality, producing a dramatic tension akin to that in Waiting for Godot, where meaning emerges through absurdity. Their practice often originates from the dislocation of perspectives shaped by differences between Eastern and Western worldviews and values, unfolding through a dialectical mode of thinking.
Formally, their paintings often exhibit strong symmetrical structures and intertextual relationships. Images within the compositions echo and complement each other, extending narratives while establishing a balance between density and openness. Their multicultural lived experience enables them to begin from everyday details, mapping broader social structures and worldviews through micro-narratives.
This exhibition is just as Georges Bataille wrote in Literature and Evil: “The true beauty of an artwork resides in the tension between excess and restraint.”

关于艺术家
About the Artist
葡萄军舰/Grapebattleships
葡萄军舰(Grapebattleships) 成立于 2022 年末，由两位生活在德国柏林的中国艺术家于林汉和姚懿桓共同创立。他们的创作以绘画为核心展开跨语言、跨文化、跨经验的图像实践。
葡萄军舰的合作模式基于长期的对话与即时反应。他们通过一个共享的电子笔记本记录各自的想法,再定期筛选、整合,发展为完整项目。在绘画执行中两人轮流接手、相互干预、打破已有结构，从而生成一种区别于个体风格的"第三种语言”。他们所使用的具象写实绘画语言，也正是这一合作结构自然生长出的表达结果。
他们不设定答案，也不急于叙述。这种路径可以被理解为一种葡萄军舰式的“新客观浪漫主义”--在克制中呈现浪漫，在幽默中透出悲伤。这种开放与迟滞，既是他们对现实的回应方式，也是他们持续创作的内在节奏与宣言。

麦克与菲/MSR FCJ
Mike S Redmond 和 Faye Coral Johnson（MSR FCJ）是一个常驻英国的艺术家组合，自2006年以来一直共同创作。
为了反对对艺术的传统态度，麦克与菲（MSR FCJ）有意识地通过直觉式的合作线条创作，推动低保真（lo-fi）制作的实验性观念。
两人都拥有绘画、地下漫画以及DIY出版的背景，他们经常通过将这些较小尺度媒介中的结构元素与技术，直接转译到他们的大型绘画中，从而进行探索；这些绘画围绕着一个核心展开——破坏、转化以及持久的瞬时性（ephemera）。
在不断被重构与叠加的过程中，这些不断变异的场景通过他们来回往复的创作过程逐渐显现，仿佛素描本中层层堆叠的画页。
在这种协作性的交流之中，在视觉观念融合的混乱与和谐之间，形成了一种完全的融合——一种第三视角，一个中间地带，它是不可预见的，同时又极度私密、令人惊异。
麦克与菲（MSR FCJ）已在英国、美国、欧洲、斯堪的纳维亚、南非以及中国多地参加展览，并出版作品。
