Galerie Grand Siècle is going to present artist DING Chien-Chung’s solo exhibition Da(il)ylight from Oct. 26 to Nov. 18, 2018, and the opening will be hold on 6pm of Oct. 26, Friday. DING Chien-Chung majored in new media art in graduate institute. He explores the fields and memories through “light” in his daily life and present by different forms includes Kinetic installation, audio visual and installation art. From <Vacant Room Series>, <Liquid Scene>, to <Underflow>, DING showcases many status of light with different kinds of powered installations; furthermore, to read and to record the trace of space and the time elapsed. He intends to expand spectators’ perception in order to remembering those fleeting feelings in life and memories, and then links the unspeakable feelings and clips in mind as the meaningful process experiencing life and art.

Following the concept of the solo exhibition on 2016 in Taipei, the newest solo exhibition Da(il)ylight amplify the spatial perception of the viewer through the comprehensive mapping of the ambient light. The award of the environment such as sunshine, temperature, and humidity give rise to physical experience, becoming the core of Ding Chien-Chung's recent creation. Da(il)ylight  will present two sets of installation works: "Untitled Series" uses the physics phenomenon of ink decay caused by exposure to light, it absorbed light into the material and create different shades on paper, which attribute to different length of time under exposure. It also refers to the trace of time-lapsed that preserving the time on paper through light. Through diffuse reflection, "the Void Series" controls the voltage to change the liquid crystal composition, allowing the light passing through the glass and the mirror intermittently, as a metaphor for light penetration. The two sets of installation works were just exhibited in Japan and received many positive feedbacks by visitors. Repeatedly loop brings a deep and mild feeling, and the variation of light ray is the proof of time trace. The two series of works muttering while juxtaposed with each other, presenting an incongruity different from the past as well as lingering memories.

Ding Chien-Chung, born in Taipei, 1983, and graduated from the MFA Program of New Media Arts, National Taipei University of the Arts. DING Chien-Chun was invited to Spain and France participating Artist-in-Residence, and has plentiful exhibited experiences such as in Osaka, Santa Fe, Singapore, Beijing, Sao Paulo, Seoul and other places worldwide.

早晨，從窗隙透出，穿透空氣中飛舞的塵埃，熱度緩緩地溫暖眼皮，橘色的光是我眼輕薄的肉身。人於矇醒之刻，意識卻已清醒。

1983年出生於台北，研究所主修新媒體藝術，從動力裝置、數位音像再到空間裝置，藝術家丁建中透過「光」來探索日常生活中的場域與記憶，將當中片段、曖昧不清的心理狀態串聯成了體驗生命與藝術之間的意義歷程。從早期以旋轉光的裝置與繞行的鏡頭拍攝，在高速移動的時間壓縮所完成的光雕塑—《空屋系列》，之後的《LIQUID SCENE》則是透過光束在廢墟中逐格掃描，將場景中的時間感壓縮在平面的鏡頭中。而此次發表的個展《Da(il)ylight》則是延續前年台北的個展《日光之下》，透過全然的環境光線對映，敏感的放大觀者所在的空間感知。過程間呼應了近期來自於藝術家在工作室日常經驗的己身映照，與自己獨 處的映照，與山林爬山經驗的映照，這些對周遭光線、溫度、濕度變化而處處的察覺，牽動了藝術家近期的創作所在。

本次個展將呈現兩組裝置作品，《Untitled Series》利用油墨與光曝曬引起衰變的物理過程，將光吸納到物質載體內，使油墨色澤的濃淡呈現了不同日曬的時間壓縮，而在同時，時間也透過光保留其中；《the Void Series》在光漫反射之處，以控制電壓改變液晶組合，讓光得以在間歇間通過玻璃與鏡面，作為光穿透的暗喻。透過兩組裝置作品獨立喃喃自語或是交相並置，展現一種不如往常的異質感受與揮之不去的日常記憶。

In the morning, it emerges through the gap and penetrates the dust that flies in the air slowly warms the eyelids. It is the orange light, which is flimsy flesh of my eyes.

Before the moment we awake, consciousness has been cleared up.

DING, Chien-Chung, born in Taipei, 1983, specializes in new media art at the institute. Presentations from include Kinetic installation, audio visual to installation art in space, Ding explores the fields and memories through the light in his daily life, while connects the fragmentary and ambiguous psychological state, converting into a stage that experiences the meaning in between life and art. Early shooting with rotating light fixtures and round lenses, finished <Vacant Room> a light sculpture under time-compressed caused by high-speed movement. <LIQUID SCENE> scans the light in the rubble, compressing the sense of time in a plane. Following the context of the solo exhibition in Taipei, 2016, the newest solo exhibition < Da(il)ylight> amplify the spatial perception of the viewer through the comprehensive mapping of the ambient light, which echoes recent artist's daily experience in the studio, an image of being solitary and the mapping of mountain climbing. The award of the environment such as sunshine, temperature, and humidity give rise to physical experience, becoming the core of Ding Chien-Chung's recent creation.

< Da(il)ylight > will present two sets of installation works. "Untitled Series" uses the physical process of decay caused by exposure to ink and light, absorbed light into the material and made the shade of ink shows the compression of different extent exposure while preserving the time.

Through diffuse reflection, "the Void Series" controls the voltage to change the liquid crystal composition, allowing the light to pass through the glass and the mirror intermittently, as a metaphor for light penetration. The two series of works, muttering while juxtaposed with each other, presenting an incongruity different from the past as well as lingering memories.
