新苑藝術將於2017年3月31日至4月28日，呈現黑雞先生Mr.OGAY《餐桌禮儀》個展，開幕時間定為3月31日晚間六點。一直被視做次文化的街頭塗鴉，不可否認地在當前世代具有某種公共藝術的意涵。自詡充滿愛的憤怒青年，黑雞先生Mr.OGAY是台灣著名的街頭藝術創作者，作品環繞著對於台灣本土的關懷，隱身在城鄉生活中每個角落。黑雞先生的創作向來毫不隱諱的以誇張的裸男作為主體，來詮釋各種體制、社會議題、人與環境的相互關係，透過幽默詼諧的語彙試圖顛覆社會既有的價值觀，排除外在表象，從另一角度思索萬物的內在本質。

此次，新苑藝術推出黑雞先生Mr.OGAY《餐桌禮儀》個展，緣起於藝術家自身在服役時擔任打飯班的經驗，食物的浪費深深影響其對於「食」看法，展覽呈現方式亦突破過往展示空間的侷限。每年糧食揮霍的醜態在全球各大機構組織不斷被提出，僅就台灣2016年量販超商業所丟棄的食物將近4萬公噸，而全球糧食危機中，營養不足的人口卻將近9億3千萬，整體而言全球食物分配嚴重不均。相較上一世代長輩對於「食」的諄諄教誨，叮囑時時珍惜與感恩更顯得當今社會高度發展的殘缺。

《餐桌禮儀》中，黑雞先生融會過往思緒及生活經驗，以人與食物為出發點，透過獵奇的繪畫手法，光怪陸離、語帶諷刺的畫面鋪陳，藉由許多既熟悉又陌生的當代符碼，探索世代交替與新舊價值觀衝擊後的社會現象，以反思當代身處的環境。黑雞先生自2000年起展開塗鴉創作，筆下多以衣不蔽體的裸男為主，至今作品遍佈各地，也因此成為了台灣塗鴉史上被民眾檢舉次數最多的藝術家。曾受邀前往日本、中國、紐約、泰國等地進行塗鴉創作，幽默詭譎的創作語彙以及時下議題的探討手法，廣受當代藝術圈的喜愛。

​Galerie Grand Siècle is going to present a solo exhibition of Mr. OGAY Table Mannersduring March 31st to April 28th, 2017. The opening party will be launched at 6pm on March 31st. Graffiti is often seen as a subculture derived from society, but undeniably in this time it performs a particular meaning of public art. Seeing himself as an angry young man filled with love, Mr. OGAY a well-known Taiwanese street artist fitting into both the countryside and city of Taiwan, showing the sincere concern for the motherland through his works The explicit naked man is the icon of his works. It is employed to interpret social issues, challenge institutions, and the interrelation between humans and environment. The whimsical connotation he plays with existing social value aims to provide a new perspective to contemplate on the inner nature of everything by excluding the superficially perceptible things on appearance. Table Manners by Mr. OGAY is initially conceptualized by the working experience as a server to ladle food to soldiers during the compulsory military service. The colossal waste of food he witnessed deeply influenced his attitude on food. To echo the solicitous concern, the spatial limit of the display will be challenged. Despite every year the ugly truth of food waste consecutively being reported by organizations globally, simply counting alone the food waste in 2016 caused by the wholesale convenient stores in Taiwan, it is nearly 40,000 tons, while around 930 millions of people under food crisis are suffering from malnutrition. The discrepancy contrastingly overturns the inherent ethics of the value of and the gratefulness toward food passed from the earlier generations. The deterioration of the uneven food distribution underlines the misfunction of the highly-developed society. This exhibition sorts out Mr. OGAY’s thoughts and past life experience connecting humans and food. The exhibited works are narrated by the novelty-seeking, bizarre, and ironic images with strangely familiar contemporary symbols that aim to inspect the social phenomena bred from the process of generation alternation, within which old and new values collide under the contemporary circumstances. Mr. OGAY starts to do graffiti since 2000. The endeavor to spread icons of explicit man qualifies himself to be the artist having the highest total of reports in Taiwan. So far, He has been invited to Japan, China, NY, and Thailand for graffiti making. The weird but eye-catching expression of current issues is favorably entertained by the contemporary art circle. Media contacts: Mesha ˙ TEL: 02-2577-1676 ˙Email: xinyuangallery.news@gmail.com 

​ 餐桌禮儀 展覽介紹(碎唸)  從小到大我們不停的被教導著關於食物的一切，長輩更是時常叮嚀：我們吃的東西是來自老天爺的恩惠，要懂得珍惜和感激。對我來說，食物除了能提供人類生存所需的能量來源，更是人與大自然連結的一項重要媒介，透過咀嚼吞嚥消化排洩等生理動作，讓身體感受到那神奇的食慾流動。 而在現今社會高度發展之下，填飽肚子變得容易，人們不再對食物懷著感恩之心，每年產出的食物有三分之一遭到浪費，但卻有數億人正處於挨餓或營養不良，邊吃著營養價值低劣的連鎖化工食品，邊抱怨著當地小農的有機食材又貴又髒。為了一時的口腹之慾過度捕撈漁穫，導致海洋生態系統崩解。媒體強力播送著業配排隊美食及各式流行指標餐廳，彷彿我們連選擇吃的自主權都消失殆盡，在缺乏思考的情況下，我們吃的種類越來越多，但與食物的關係卻越來越陌生。 對食物的關注起因於數年前服役擔任打飯班職務時，見識到食物浪費是多麼的誇張卻又難以改變，也為了剩食問題得罪長官而受到刁難，也因此深深的影響了自身對於「食」的看法。本次展覽整理了個人過去的思緒及生活經驗，從人與食物為出發點，以獵奇式的繪畫手法，光怪陸離、語帶諷刺的畫面鋪陳，融入許多既熟悉又陌生的當代符碼，來探索世代交替與新舊價值觀衝擊後的社會現象，也希望藉由這些創作，可以讓更多人重視我們所身處的環境。 

​Table Manners-The Exhibition Introduction (murmuring) Ever since being kids, we have been taught everything about food. Especially the elderly would frequently remind us that food is the grace of God; we should know its value and be grateful for it. To me, food not only provides us necessary sources of energy for human survival, but also acts as a significant agent linking humans with Mother Nature. Through masticating, swallowing, digesting, and excreting, such biological processes enable human bodies to feel the miraculous flux of appetite. Since it is easier to get stuffed in the highly-developed society, people no longer feel grateful for food. Despite that every year one third of the food in the world is being wasted, hundreds of millions of people are suffering from starvation and malnutrition. Still some others would rather fill their stomachs with bad ingredients from chemically-processed foods produced by big companies, while complaining about the high price and poor hygiene of organic food planted by smallholder farmers. Only for satisfying the desire for taste, humans destruct the marine ecosystem by overfishing. In addition, brainwashed by the iconic foods or fashionable restaurants, media seems to have deprived our autonomy to choose food through the commercial-oriented broadcasting. Consequently, the more kinds of foods we eat, the less we feel connected with food. My concern for food resulted from a job I did during military service a few years ago— a server to ladle food to other soldiers. As a kitchen staff, I witnessed how serious and how gigantic the problem of food waste was in the military. My point on the issue of leftovers also got me in trouble as considered offensive by the senior. After these, my personal value on “food” was shaped. This exhibition sorts out Mr. OGAY’s thoughts and past life experience on the connection between humans and food. The exhibited works are narrated by the novelty-seeking, bizarre, and ironic images with strangely familiar contemporary symbols that aim to inspect the social phenomena bred from the process of generation alternation, within which old and new values collide. What’s more, it is hoped that these works call for more concerns on the environment.
