之後之後 - 寫於個展《穿越後花園》
–齊簡
狹路相逢的對峙汽車,像兩隻面紅耳赤的過橋山羊;蛇形的路人穿過間隙,路旁放滿各式盆栽,大大小小,等待花開⋯⋯。
在工作室的途中,我總在小巷間穿行,擁擠的巷道內,居民把花盆植栽放置在馬路上。這些門前盆栽所形成的「花園」景象,是現實,是形式,也是空間鬥爭的文化測度;為了展示,也為了佔領。
「花園」是戰火蹂躪後的想望,一種公領域與私領域相互干涉的體制邊緣。小致陋巷鄰里,大致國族爭端,土地正義總緊緊連繫著政治權力。
茉莉花、野百合、太陽花⋯⋯,花是自然,花是性器。世界上許多文化中,花是女性的象徵,也寓意女性的全然奉獻6。我們可以說,每一座花園都是人類的「失樂園」,它象徵著人的源頭,一切的開始7。在字典裡,「garden」有兩層意義,一是花園,而另一個是公園的意思(a public park with flower…)8。在花園之「前」加了一個「後」字,成了後花園(back),我特別暗示一種較為隱蔽的私有領地,也意指「後」(post-)所難以言明的模糊語境。
在「後」的花園裡,即使人為征服了自然,也難免花開花落,滄海桑田。花總是花,同樣飛機也總是飛機。飛機「飛入」,飛入的現實轉化了視覺想像,這種想像活動即是時間,這樣的時間理解,只需直觀,並同時看著我們何以同時觀看一切事物,何以在這一切事物之間,創造出一種處境。
飛機穿越花園,是時間裂隙中的身體臨在,是自己與對象接觸的批判、嘲諷,或是宗教召喚,它相應著出於磚石沙塵的捻花煉金9。誠如屋外玩耍的男孩,手拿著一架飛機,在花朵上方凌空穿越,恣意翱翔。
當飛機穿越花園,若自己不在飛機裏,就正默默隱身-在「背景背後」。
6「我姊妹,我新婦,乃是關鎖的花園,禁閉的井,封閉的泉源。」引自聖經(歌 4:12)。
7「耶和華神在東方的伊甸園立了一個園子,把所造的人安置在那裏。」引自聖經(創 2:8-9)。

金術實際上是一種以自己的心靈發展為參照,對自然界現象的投射行為。
In back of the back
– About the Exhibition Passing Through The Post-Garden
Chi Chien
In a narrow alley, cars come from two opposite directions and get stuck in the middle. No one is willing to surrender, like the two goats standing with unyielding persistence on the narrow bridge. Meanwhile, the passerby find a meandering path among the cars to squeeze through the bonsais on the both sides. These bonsais are in various sizes, all waiting for the blossom…
On my way to the studio, I always pass through these narrow alleys – which even become narrower because of the bonsais put on the alleys. These bonsais on the alleys create an image of a “garden.” It is the reality, the form, and the cultural measurement to battle for space. It is here to demonstrate and to occupy.
A “garden” is what one fancies for after the devastating war. It is the margin of the authorative system where the public and the pravite intevene each other.
No matter the system is as small as a neighborhood or an internaitonal conflict, there is no way to separate “land justice” from political power.
Jasmines, wild lilies, sun flowers… -- flowers belong to nature, and flowers are the sexual organs. In many cultures, flowers symbolize not just women but also the absolute sacrifice of women.1 We can say that every garden is humans’“paradise lost.” It signifies the origin of humans, the beginning or everything.2
According to the dictionary, The English word “garden” has two meanings. One is “an area of ground where plants (such as flowers or vegetables) are grown” and the other is “a public park with flowers.”3 Here, I add a prefix “post / back” in front of the word “garden,” so the back garden, a private space not open to the public, can also be realized as “post-garden,” an ambiguous term which cannot be specified.4
In the “post/back” garden, even though humans conquer Nature, we still can neither define the world nor the certainty of life. Flowers will always be flowers, just like airplanes will always be airplanes. Airplanes “fly into view,” but the reality of “flying into view” transforms the visual imagination. The action of imagination is “time.” It takes nothing more than our intuitive perception to understand “time”. Meanwhile, it watches how we observe everything simultaneously and how a situation is created among all these things.
Airplanes fly through the garden. The presence of body exists in the gap of time. It is the criticism, mockery, or religious evocation between the contact and the self. It corresponds to the spiritual reflection in a grain of dust, the life derived from stone brick, the alchemical imagination, and the sudden realization when
seeing the flowers in Buddha’s hands.5 A boy is playing outside the house.
The plane in his hand is being released from gravity and soaring freely among the flowers.
When the airplane passes through the garden, if you are not inside the plane, then you are hiding behind – in back of the background.
Exhibit : Park, held at Crane Gallery, Kaohsiung.
1 “A garden locked is my sister, my bride, a garden locked, a fountain sealed.” Quoted from
Bible (Song. 4-12)
2 “And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had
formed.” Quoted from Bible (Gen. 2:8).
3 Here, I use the first definition of “garden” as a comparison to my exhibition in 2014 Prima Facie
4 Footnote by translator: in Chinese, “post” and “back” are the same word.
5 The story of “Buddha holding up a flower and Kāśyapa smiling” comes from Zen kōan, a
collection of parables used in Zen practice; the ancient alchemy , in Carl Gustav Jung’s theory, is
an imagination of Nature based on one’s spiritual development.
新苑藝術 Galerie Grand Siecle
穿越後花園 齊簡個展
開幕時間|2015/8/1 晚上七點
展覽時間|2015/8/1 – 2015/8/30
展覽地點|新苑藝術
開放時間|1pm - 6pm (Tue - Sat),週一與國定假期休。
這個八月新苑藝術將呈現齊簡個展「穿越後花園」,展期自2015年8月1日至8月30日。此次預計展出10餘件作品,其中包括平面繪畫、裝置與影像作品,涵蓋齊簡這兩年來的作品,以及最新的花園系列。
「『花園』是戰火蹂躪後的想望,一種公領域與私領域相互干涉的體制邊緣。小致陋巷鄰里,大致國族爭端,土地正義總緊緊連繫著政治權力。
在『後』的花園裡,即使人為征服了自然,也難免花開花落,滄海桑田。花總是花,同樣飛機也總是飛機。飛機『飛入』,飛入的現實轉化了視覺想像,這種想像活動即是時間,這樣的時間理解,只需直觀,並同時看著我們何以同時觀看一切事物,何以在這一切事物之間,創造出一種處境。」
在反覆思辨的處境中,齊簡分別呈現了平面繪畫與裝置,同步指引觀者進入一種悟境,帶領觀者進入藝術家所創造的思想世界。取材於日常生活的常見意象,但在意義上積累了藝術家獨特的觀點。在小盆栽、飛機、圓錐與破牆裡,齊簡是否創造了回應繪畫本體的答案?。新苑藝術藉此邀請您於盛夏來臨時,一同進入齊簡的後花園世界。
齊簡,1974年生於台北,2008年於台灣藝術大學造型所畢業,於2015獲得高雄獎首獎之殊榮。近期個展包括 Art Central (香港,2015)、表面證物:公園(弔詭畫廊,高雄,2014)。

"A 'garden' is what one fancies for after the devastating war. It is the margin of the authorative system where the public and the pravite intevene each other. No matter the system is as small as a neighborhood or an internaitonal conflict, there is no way to separate 'land justice' from political power. ...

The action of imagination is 'time'. It takes nothing more than our intuitive perception to understand 'time'. Meanwhile, it watches how we observe everything simultaneously and how a situation is created among all these things."
In the repetition of speculative thinking, CHI Chien presents the painting and installation respectively, as a guidance for the audience to an enlightenment, leading them to the artist's created thought-world. Drawn his materials from imageries of daily life, the artist accumulated his own unique point of view. Among the bonsais, airplanes, cones and ruined walls, has CHI Chien respond the thesis of painting's body? Galerie Grand Siècle sincerely invite you to explore CHI Chien's Post-Garden when summer comes.
