用“生命边角”完成物的再生

Giving New Life to "Material Fragments"

此次展览的重要作品之一《肉体生产1号》，是李邦耀与巴博罗共创的。作品选用了巴博罗生产过程中遗留的皮革边角料——这些原本可能被弃置的材料，在艺术家的手中被赋予了新的生命。李邦耀通过对这些废弃材料的重组与创作，构筑出一个空洞的皮革骨架，直观地展现了物质生命循环的可能性。这不仅是对废弃材料的再利用，更是一种对现代社会生产与消费关系的深刻思考——在欲望的驱动下，人的生命、物的存在，都被系统化的生产机制所规训，而艺术则为这种规训提供了一个质疑的空间。

One of the highlights of this exhibition, Flesh Production No.1, is a collaborative creation between Li Bangyao and PABLO NOW. The work repurposes leather scraps left over from Pablo's production processes—materials that might otherwise have been discarded—and breathes new life into them through the artist’s hands. By reassembling and reimagining these discarded materials, Li constructs a hollow leather framework, vividly illustrating the potential for material life cycles to continue. This work not only emphasizes the reuse of discarded materials but also offers a profound reflection on the relationship between modern production and consumption. Driven by desires, both human lives and material existence are regulated by systematic production mechanisms, while art creates a space to question and challenge this regulation.

PABLO NOW, as a supporter of the arts, not only supplies materials but also provides inspiration. In the piece Flesh Production No.1, Pablo's leather transitions from a singular industrial product into an artistic symbol bearing thought and expression. This cross-disciplinary collaboration perfectly embodies Pablo's brand philosophy of "bringing art into life."

顺德：生产与符号的碰撞

Shunde: A Collision of Production and Symbolism

顺德的工厂既是物品的生产地，也是符号景观的制造场。李邦耀在展览中，通过作品《生产之谜》《几何学》等，探讨了工厂的生产机制如何嵌入全球消费体系。这些作品不仅展示了生产空间的冰冷逻辑，也揭示了人与物的复杂关系——工厂工人对物的理解停留在其物质属性上，而消费者则从符号的角度感知商品，两者之间形成了巨大断裂。而巴博罗的参与，则为这种断裂提供了新的解读：通过物质的再生与艺术的赋能，让生产空间的故事得以被重新讲述。

Shunde's factories are not just sites of product manufacturing but also landscapes of symbolic creation. In the exhibition, through works such as The Mystery of Production and Geometry, Li Bangyao explores how factory production mechanisms are embedded in the global consumption system. These works reveal not only the cold logic of production spaces but also the complex relationship between humans and objects—factory workers perceive objects in terms of their material properties, while consumers experience them through their symbolic value, creating a vast divide between the two perspectives. PABLO NOW participation offers a new interpretation of this divide: by enabling material regeneration and artistic empowerment, it allows the stories of production spaces to be retold in innovative and meaningful ways.

艺术与生活的共生实践

The Practice of Symbiosis Between Art and Life

巴博罗始终以“艺术走进生活”为使命，无论是产品设计还是艺术合作，都致力于探讨艺术与日常生活的结合。在「生产之镜」展览中，巴博罗的面料与李邦耀的创作深度融合，为观众呈现了物质循环与艺术表达的无缝对话。这种合作不仅体现了品牌对可持续发展的承诺，也让观众看到了艺术如何改变物的意义、丰富人的生活。

PABLO NOW has always embraced the mission of "bringing art into life." Whether through product design or artistic collaborations, the brand is dedicated to exploring the integration of art with everyday living. In the Mirror of Production exhibition, Pablo’s materials deeply intertwine with Li Bangyao’s creations, presenting audiences with a seamless dialogue between material recycling and artistic expression. This collaboration not only reflects the brand's commitment to sustainable development but also demonstrates how art can transform the meaning of objects and enrich human life.

在这个充满隐喻的展览中，巴博罗通过艺术作品与观众对话，重申了“可持续栖居”的品牌愿景。无论是通过材料的重生，还是艺术的融入，巴博罗不断探索人与物、艺术与生活的和谐共生。

In this exhibition full of metaphors, PABLO NOW engages with the audience through its artistic works, reaffirming its vision of "sustainable dwelling." Whether through material regeneration or the infusion of art, Pablo continuously explores the harmonious coexistence of humans and objects, art and life.
