陳文祺個展《偽歷史 首部曲》

Authenticity Time Status EPISODE 1

展出藝術家｜陳文祺

開幕時間 ｜2017/06/09(五)  6:00pm

展覽時間 ｜2017/06/09(五) – 2017/07/07(五)   Artist   ｜CHEN, Wen-Chi

Opening｜2017/06/09(Fri)  6:00pm

Duration｜2017/06/09(Fri) – 2017/07/07(Fri)

新苑藝術將於2017年6月9日至7月7日，展出藝術家陳文祺個展《偽歷史 首部曲》，開幕時間為6月9日晚間六點。擅於跨領域整合創作的陳文祺，現任實踐大學媒體傳達設計學系(所)主任，作品以「後行為」藝術影像為手法，過去藉由影像文件談論愛、慾、死亡，探討新柏拉圖主義發散下的肉體與靈魂的哲思觀點。其創作透過靜態與動態影像裝置，觀察周遭人性面貌與自身生命的時空哲思，其視影像為死亡的印記，多討論存在本體與時空之間的辯證關係。繼其創作脈絡，《偽歷史 首部曲》中，將結合「歷史」的文、物件裝置、動態與靜態影像，不斷挑戰物件存在的定義與認知差異。

「事物和狀態無非是我們的精神對生成所持的看法。沒有事物﹐只有行動」 -柏格森

《偽歷史 首部曲》，從柏格森（Henri Bergson）「綿延」（Duration）概念出發，陳文祺將焦點由單一時間節點，轉移至整個時間流，由歷史的角度回溯、觀看不同時空中曾經存在的主體。「歷史是時空的展延，物在感知的的綿延（Duration）衝擊著侵蝕的時間的刻度，《偽歷史 首部曲》是真實時空在物/我間存在現象的觀看。」。此次展覽脈絡延續自2014年《偽日記》系列，探討存在主體於時間流動中的保存與消蝕，然存在是永恆的生成、變化、流動，主體的意義在時空流動中不斷更新，當曾經的存在被時間無情地侵蝕了樣貌，而存在本身的面目已模糊不清，我們該如何看待那曾經存在的「事實」?

陳文祺曾於台灣、美國、義大利、日本、韓國、瑞士、德國、西班牙、俄羅斯、馬來西亞、中國等地舉辦個展及聯展。1999年自美國長島大學視覺與表演藝術研究所畢業，同年即獲第26屆台北美術獎首獎，作品典藏於全球各藝術機構，如義大利國家攝影博物館(National Photography Museum)、Aldila Gallery 、私人收藏包括美國卡內基執行長 PETER & PAT HANDAL 夫婦、義大利等地。創作亦跨足設計及策展，設計作品包括非常廟空間、北美館法國龐畢度中心新媒體藝術特展書店、台北藝術大學藝大書店空間、美國哥倫比亞大學《安蒂岡尼》影像等；策展經歷包括高雄市立美術館《「創作論壇」身體記憶的遊樂場 劉時棟個展》、《台北市立美術館「非常廟」大展》等。

____________________________________________________________________________________

Galerie Grand Siècle is going to present a solo exhibition by CHEN, Wen-Chi, Authenticity Time Status Episode 1, during June 9th to July 7th, 2017. The opening will be launched at 6pm on June 9th. CHEN, Wen-Chi, chairmen of Shih Chien University Department of Communications Design, is adept in creating integrated and interdisciplinary arts. By means of post-behavioral imaging art, CHEN used to discuss love, desire, and death through images, speculating philosophical perspectives of the body-soul dualism in Neoplatonism. His creations, through static and dynamic images, inspecting features of people around and the time-space observation of his own life. CHEN regards images as the residue of death, mostly exploring the dialectical relationship between ontology and the philosophy of space-time. In accordance with his former creations, Authenticity Time Status  Episode 1 combines texts, objects, dynamic images, and static images, continuously challenging the definition of being and cognitive differences.

“A quantitative multiplicity enumerates things or states of consciousness by means of externalizing one from another in a homogeneous space….There is always a priority of movement over the things that move; the thing that moves is an abstraction from the movement.”― Henri Bergson

The solo exhibition Authenticity Time Status  Episode 1 unfolds as the succession of Henri Bergson’s concept, the Duration (la durée). CHEN shifts the spotlight from single time node to the flow of time, to trace back and view subjects once existed in different space-time from the spectacle of history. “History is the extension of consciousness in space-time, in the perception of the Duration impacting the scale of the erosional time. Authenticity Time Status  EPISODE 1 is the authentic space-time being seen in a silent existential phenomenon between ontology and entity.” The exhibition continues the former series Authenticity Temporal Memory in 2014, exploring how the existence of subjects being conserved and eroded in time. Being is the process of eternal forming, changing, and flowing. When the meaning of being gets renewed every now and then in the flow of space-time, the being once existed got worn away by the strength of time, and the initial appearance of being is blurred with ages, how do we treat the “fact” that once lived?

CHEN, Wen-Chi has held solo exhibitions and joint exhibitions in Taiwan, the United States, Italy, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Russia, Malaysia, China, etc. Graduated from Long Island University, Department of Visual and Performing Arts in 1999, the same year CHEN received the first prize of the 26th Taipei Arts Awards. His works are hold in art facilities around the world, including National Photography Museum in Italy and Aldila Gallery; private collections include Dale Carnegie Training’s CEO PETER & PAT HANDAL, and Italian collectors. Beside artworks, CHEN also excels in design and curation. His design works include VT Artsalon, bookshop of Taipei Fine Art Museum New Media Collection, 1965-2005―Centre Pompidou, bookshop of Taipei National University of the Arts, and the images of Columbia University Antigone; curated exhibitions include Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts Creation Forum, Taipei Fine Art Museum Very Temple, etc.

偽歷史 首部曲 AUTHENTICITY TIME STATUS  EPISODE 1

存在於不同時空的情境中，我們如何觀看眼前的真實？

在人為的歷史下，如何回應那曾經存在的事實。

本體的存在成為被觀看的主體，它被建構在不同的時空如何對話？

物的本體在時空中被定義，而時間的無情卻侵蝕存在的樣貌。

歷史是真實時空的意識展延，物在感知的綿延中衝擊著被侵蝕的時間刻度。

偽歷史，是真實的時空被針孔般的靜默曝曬在物/我的存在現象中觀看。

「事物和狀態無非是我們的精神對生成所持的看法。沒有事物﹐只有行動」

柏格森

How do we watch the truth in different space line?

In the history of mankind, how do we respond to the facts that once existed?

How does the existence of ontology communicate in different time and space when he is constructed as the subject of being watched?

The ontology is defined in space line, and the ruthlessness of time erodes the appearance of existence.

History is the extension of consciousness in space line, in the perception of the Duration (la durée) impacting the scale of the erosional time.

Authenticity time status-EPISODE 1 is the authentic space line being seen in a silent existential phenomenon between ontology and entity.

「A quantitative multiplicity enumerates things or states of consciousness by means of externalizing one from another in a homogeneous space….There is always a priority of movement over the things that move; the thing that moves is an abstraction from the movement.」Henri Bergson
