On The Memory Expression Of Soft Materials In Contemporary Art-Reproduction Of Old Things

In our daily life,we are surrounded by soft "things",including ready-made,semi-finished and natural products,which are involved in people’s lives,witnessing things,leaving traces of life and memories accumulated through long-term use.People have social attributes,and people’s memories are always connected with other people’s memories,just like a big net that is strung together with each other.Looking back at the past from the present is not only nostalgia for time,but also a dialogue between the past and the present,covering the change of times between memory and reality,a re-examination of events,and a care for the pain of memory,etc.The relationship between the past and the present is intricate,and the re-expression of old things is given new meanings.Old things and the elements of memory and time they carry enrich the artist’s expression as a medium,and are widely used in contemporary artworks.This paper analyzes the application of the re-expression of old things in the field of contemporary art,explores the different ways artists handle memory,and digs deeper into the emotional expression of everyday soft materials in contemporary art,so that people can have a further understanding of the use of soft materials in contemporary art.Contemporary art is open,a term in constant inquiry,and the boundaries between contemporary art and various fields are becoming increasingly blurred,with development showing a tendency to cross borders.Soft material is a range of materials defined by "soft"and involves a wide and diverse range of materials;memory is also a very broad concept,and this paper is only concerned with memory expressed by contemporary art forms,and the use of "old objects" to convey memories."Contemporary art,soft materials,and memory are all relatively open research categories,making it difficult to study them,so this paper only discusses them within the generally accepted scope of the research literature.This paper attempts to explore how soft old objects in contemporary art express memory through reproduction.
