北京公社将于2012年3月8日开幕展览“静电”，这是马秋莎在北京公社的第二次个展，将展出她2011年至今最新的录像、装置及纸上作品。
“静电”是生活中最常见的物理现象之一，它来自物与物之间因摩擦而产生的“亮的闪烁”。此次展出的作品、触及的话题和记忆均源于日常经验和事物之间的关系，相比于抽象的观念和理论，马秋莎更相信这些被生活验证过的真实存在。

三频录像《红、白、黄》分别记录了三块套有薄膜的冰“砖”由固态转化为液态的过程，短短五分钟的作品实际上浓缩了12个小时的拍摄。这三块冰砖由血、尿和乳汁冻结而成，它们都是人体内部产生的液体，被抽象化呈长方形。外层的薄膜提示着一种永远被包裹住的状态，在冰砖融化的过程中它的存在越来越明确。

单频录像《纪念品》拍摄了黑夜中路灯下不知何处甩出的、还冒着热气的内脏，伴随有不明的噪音（猫在兴奋时发出的呼噜声放大后的失真效果）。这些看上去还鲜活的内脏仿佛仍然具有生命——但实际它们上却是一个生命刚刚死亡的证据。
                
                
装置《致S》由四个冰柜和整齐码放于其中的黄瓜、茄子、胡萝卜、山药组成，这些棍状蔬菜物美价廉四季皆有，且相对易于存放。马秋莎取每组蔬菜中的一根作为标准体，然后依照它的长度把同组的其它蔬菜削头去尾，最终使全部四组蔬菜在视觉效果上都符合规范、整齐划一。通过这样的方式，马秋莎模拟了一种易于实现的秩序化。
                
                
纸上作品《雾》源自于马秋莎童年时有关“窗”的记忆，她在水彩纸上平铺图案各异的薄纱，然后在上面一遍遍刷“黑夜”的颜色，刷完后揭去薄纱。
马秋莎1982 年出生于中国北京，本科毕业于中央美术学院，硕士毕业于美国阿尔弗雷德大学，现生活和工作于北京。自2002年起，马秋莎在国内外的当代艺术展览及影像展、电影节露面，2009年在北京公社举办个展，受到广泛关注。作品曾在伦敦泰特现代美术馆（2010）展出，并参加纽约佩斯画廊的群展“柔软机器”（2011）、韩国LOOP画廊项目“移动中的亚洲 2010”等重要群展。
Beijing Commune is honored to announce the opening of Ma Qiusha’s solo show “Static Electricity” on March 8th, 2012. The exhibition will present Ma Qiusha’s latest installation, video works and watercolor on paper.
Static electricity is one of the most common physical phenomenon in everyday life, it comes from the "bright flash" of the friction between objects. The works shown in this exhibition reach topics and memories from everyday experiences; compared to abstract concept and theories, Ma Qiusha believes more what she has experienced in real life.
The three-channel video Red/White/Yellow respectively records the process of three ice “bricks” from solid into liquid. The five-minutes-work is an enrichment of 12 hours shooting. The three pieces of ice bricks are made of frozen blood, urine and milk, which are all body generated fluid and are abstracted into rectangle forms. The outer layer of the film suggests a state of always being wrapped, and during the process of ice bricks melt, the existence of film becomes more and more clear.
The single-channel video Token was shot in the night: the internal organs emitting hot air were thrown from nowhere, with the noise of the unknown cat in an excited and amplified snore of distortion effect. The fresh visceral organs seemed to live but actually were just evidence of death.
To S is composed of four ice tanks with tidy shelved cucumbers, eggplants, carrots and yams; the above sticks as good quality and low price vegetables are for four seasons, and relatively easy to store. Ma Qiusha took a root vegetable from each group as standard body, then according to its length to cut the same head to tail with other vegetables, and finally made all four groups of neat and tidy visual effect in line with norms. In this way, MaQiuSha simulated an easily realized order.
Paper work Fog originates from Ma Qiusha childhood memory of "window", she titled gauze with different patterns on water paper, kept brushing "dark night" over and finally took off the gauze.
Ma Qiusha was born in 1982 in Beijing, China, and graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts(BA) and the Alfred University(MFA); now she lives and works in Beijing. Since 2002, Ma Qiusha’s works have been shown in the domestic and international contemporary art exhibitions, video fairs and film festivals. In 2009, she had her solo exhibition in Beijing Commune and received widespread attention. Her works were also exhibited in Tate Modern in London (2010), and the important group shows such as “Soft Machines”(2011) at The Pace Gallery in New York, "Move on Asia 2010" at Loop Gallery in South Korea, etc.
