主題企劃 【亞洲文化/台灣視野–日常生活的偏旁】
「日常生活批判理論之父」列斐爾(Henri Lefebvre)於1960年出版之<日常生活的批判>提到,空間除了受到權力者控制外,也是實踐的、零碎的、社會成員外部化與物化的日常生活經驗。列斐爾認為,城市是資本主義制度運行過程中,生產和再生產的空間,是城市支配者佈局具體化的表現。而日常生活作為社會根基,卻很少引起人們反思,呈現被理性遺忘的直觀式狀態。此次新苑藝術計畫透過四位藝術家:張騰遠、邱國峻、張永達、曾琡棻的視野,以藝術作為媒介呈現日常生活的平常性與重複性,將平凡而繁瑣的日常生活,以台灣藝術家充滿獨特創造力的語彙,直接而具體的、現實的細膩表達,重新建構台灣日常文化中隱而不顯的細微感知,從根基的本土文化到身體感官,再到未來想像的文化爬梳。
台灣本土文化與特有精神狀態
為點出台灣傳統文化與當代消費社會之間的聯繫,邱國峻將生活中的文化符號、語彙凸顯在極具台灣文化意涵的畫面動作之中。作品旨在探討現代台灣人特有的精神狀態──過去的神祇意象到現今充斥偶像的消費社會中,符號已漸轉為嘉年華式的歡慶,被賦予神聖的偶像崇拜,使人忘卻現實的一種內在真實。藉此影射影像之外,人在精神上的依賴性是一種對神的企求,甚或是「交易」的複雜關係。
台灣日常生活下的身體性
張永達在<相對感度>中,就企圖提出一個問題:「我們怎麼透過耳朵來接觸這個世界?」該件作品透過鐵片熱脹冷縮的過程產生聲響,在空間展開細微的聲音觸診。受台灣正規美術教育薰陶的曾琡棻,透過其活躍的思考及批判能力,以偽立體的表象指涉性裝置作品回應視覺感官的誤解,也提出平面繪畫在當代藝術中的可能與發展,挑戰現世的繪畫語彙。在張永達與曾琡棻的作品中,挑戰了人類身體的感度,包括觀看方式和感官支配方式。身體的感度是一種本能的、直覺的反應系統,透過它,我們的身體得以閱讀與回應當下狀態。
未來時間軸上的當代日常回首
不同於當代日常的微觀視野,藝術家張騰遠透過想像未來,思考當代作為主軸,以科幻小說的情節,重新建構地球末日數千年後的情景。此外亦透過另種角度詮釋那些我們認為瞬間且浩瀚的事件,在其他度向空間的生命來說,或許只是緩慢日常的一件事情。如此具特色的語彙與色彩,將生活上早已麻痺無感的事物重新畫上重點,標註出曖昧不清的當代生活狀態,並藉此為展覽拋出一個可以思考的問句。
在藝術家作品中,再次體現了從台灣地理歷史環境蛻變出來的獨特眼光,透過多元媒材的表達手法,試圖完整呈現人與日常物件短暫而薄弱的聯繫,此主題得以跨躍國際文化、歷史與語言的隔閡,透過具有普世意義的命題,得以帶領全球觀眾重新思考身體感度在日常生活中的正確性。
Taiwanese Perspective on Asian Culture-- The Side of Everyday Life
As the father of critique of everyday life, Henri Lefebvre, mentioned in his book《Critique of Everyday Life》published in 1960s, the production of space is not only under the authoritative control but exists as a practical, trivial and objectized everyday life experience which externalizes the participation of social members. Lefebvre considers city a space for production and reproduction in the capitalist society, concretizing the dominator’s arrangements in urban space. However, little light was shed on the social base of urbanism-- the everyday life, which was rationally and naturally ignored. In this sense, Galerie Grand Siècle selects four artists, CHANG Teng-Yuan, CHIU Kuo-Chun, CHANG Yung-Ta and Tseng Shu-Fen, seeing art as agent of life critique, to present visions of ordinariness and repetitiveness of everyday life. This project intends to apply the four Taiwanese artists’ active creativity and meticulous expression in a constructive sense to transform the mundane, pettifogging life and to uncover the tiny senses veiled under the Taiwanese ordinary culture. The project is developed through the links among rooted local culture, body senses and cultural imagination of future.
Taiwanese Local Culture and Rooted Phenomenon
To point out the connection between Taiwanese traditional culture and contemporary consumption society, CHIU Kuo-Chun incorporates cultural symbols and cultural idioms into images or actions giving prominence to Taiwanese cultural contexts. His photography works raised a rooted phenomenon of Taiwanese that the spiritual dependence on god abides by a trading relationship in the idol filled society where the primary meanings of symbols in folk deity belief have been associated to the context of carnival-like occasions that can take people away from the reality.
The Corporality in Taiwanese Everyday Life
“How do we get in touch with the world by ears?”is the question raised by CHANG Yung-Ta in his work Relative Perception. This work can, metaphorically, palpate the space by performing the sounds during the process of thermal expansion and contraction in the metal.The other artist, Tseng Shu-Fen, graduated from formal art education in Taiwan, tackled the visual illusion by setting up the referential installation of pseudo-three-dimensionality to propose the possible development of painting in contemporary art that challenges the status quo. The works of CHANG Yung-Ta and Tseng Shu-Fen signify body perception including the ways of viewing and ways senses dominate humans. Body perception is instinctive, intuitive response system by which humans can review and respond to the current situation.
Looking at the Contemporary from Future
Rather than interpreting the micro perspectives on ordinary contemporary life, artist CHANG Teng-Yuan uses the clues gained from the imagination of future scenarios to reflect on contemporary issues. Moreover, his works provide a fresh idea that maybe those instant incidents we consider to have immense meaning are regarded slow and ordinary by lives from different planets. Such characterized idioms and features can refresh what we have felt emotionally numb, signify the profound ambiguity in contemporary life, and throw a question worthy of thinking.
Their works are both resulted from special insights grown from Taiwanese geographical-historical environment with an eye to guiding the global audience to reconsider the validity of body perception in every life. They seek to introduce the universally short and weak connection between man and ordinary objects regardless of cultural, historical, and language barriers via diverse media of art.
