那光 BLINK 11/22/2008-01/18/2009

苑裡十一月秋末的大風翻騰著金黃稻浪,像是在進入光照時數開始減少的冬季之前,起舞紀念台灣這一年的經歷。
金枝藝術的策劃展「那光」為這一年提供了一個空格、一個休止,邀請人們在作品前面或是在作品裡面,用呼吸、用靈通、用身體的移動去感知光的存在,邀請人們除了娛樂之外,還能在光的存在裡專心,在專心裡重新得力。

李俊陽以水墨和燈管在黑盒子裡舖置了彷彿有儀典的空間。黑光水墨吸納了足夠的光,一旦空間充滿了黑暗,甫在光裡所等待的以及所醞釀的便會開始绽放鮮彩繁花。那花的鮮豔色彩不屬於日光也不屬於黑暗,它們存在於一個必須透過真誠才得召喚出來的隱匿世界。
----------------------------------
每個閃爍的光點都是神諭。李艾晨在鋁板上滑移的油墨,似乎呢喃著對上帝的敬畏,似乎也看見了她試圖在不斷來回的刷擠中,去交會裂天而降的神的光芒。
--------------------------------------------
黃亞紀在日常物件裡藏匿詭譎的光,好像在一切靜止的平凡中無端騷動著什麼。看起來既是無聲的,卻又私語著什麼;看起來是無人存在的,卻又暗示著某種在場;看起來是靜止的,卻又不那麼地安靜。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
過多的延長使得時間感消逝了,還剩下什麼……。林冠名始終保持著一種冷調的詩性,不陳述什麼,不解釋什麼,用一種古典的質感讓冰冷的機械影像累積、溫存觀者的溫度,用不經意的速度。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
光,在姚仲涵的手中不斷地被具體化。所以光可以有速度,光可以有節奏,光可以在人的移動裡被控制它的反應,光也可以透過聲音讓你聽見它自己。
In the late autumn this year, Jin-Zhi Gallery is going to submit a dimension to project the whole year review.
The third exhibition “Blink” invites people to interact with multiple media art works. We introduce you to experience the being of light itself by your breath, your body movement and your spirit. It is not only for your entertainment, but also for your concentration with light.

Jiun-Yang Li uses black light and growing in the dark ink to draw enough illumination in order to summoning the invisible mysterious world.
--------------------------------------------
Ai-Chen Lee brushes the oil paint on the aluminum plate. The brilliance from her aluminum canvas seems to encounter the light from the god.
------------------------------------------------------
It seems silent and static but it whispers something; it looks like nobody’s place, but implies a presence. Ya-Chi Huang’s photography speaks a strange and hidden light from everyday objects.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What left when the time goes by… Guan-Ming Lin always keeps a poetical tone to his work. Using a kind of classical texture to apply on the cold digital image and it attracts the audience’s participation gradually.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Light becomes a concrete thing from Chung-Han Yao’s installation. Thus we can see its reaction from our movements; we can hear light itself through the sound.

呂東興台南個展-為愛走天涯

2008/11/8 ~ 2008/12/28
呂東興的駭俗陽具恐龍這次要在純樸的台南仁德鄉駐腳了。可能因為先前在八月結束的台北藝術博覽會上囂張了太用力,所以需要曬曬南部的太陽,在102藝術舒服小巧的空間裡喘口氣……。「雖然都是陽具的變體,大部份卻沒有想著關於性的事情」,呂東興屢屢被問及使用陽具圖像的動機時,總是透露他其實比較傾向政治的批判,只是把罵人的方式轉化詼諧一點而已。所以才能讓不少人在他的陽具恐龍作品前哈哈大笑或是神會莞爾。

不癲不戒(註1) - - 短述呂東興個展【恐龍打手槍】






才在剛落幕不久的台北國際藝術博覽會場上以巨大聳動雕塑引起話題之後,台灣藝術家呂東興在金枝藝術舉辦的首次個展於9月7日盛大開幕,展覽至10月26日。

呂東興早期便以陽具作為創作的主軸語彙,而陽具的使用乃源自於語言上的轉換;呂東興平日慣用台語溝通,而台語普遍又常以性器官作為傳述的假借用詞。將這語言上的假借轉換為圖像,刻意使用被社會規範為沒教養的語言,挑戰在台灣主流社會階層裡對於文雅的既有定義。而,作品永遠跟著創作者的性格走,呂東興天生的幽默、樂觀與熱情,讓他的作品邊帶著批判的隱晦,卻又讓人看了忍不住發笑。
除了那些個劇烈騷動的陽具怪獸,呂東興的<媽媽我愛妳>系列卻呈現了呂東興不同於威猛恐龍的靜謐世界。這系列也包含巨大的作品 <膦神>(註2),這應是呂東興屬於自己的造神紀念,或許也來自於他曾經造塑佛像雕塑的經驗,很自然地便要造一個陽具之神,還圍繞著嬰靈好顯示這神的威武與震懾。另外葉子造型的<媽媽我愛妳>系列,用葉子表徵母親的子宮,而葉子上的陽具變體動物則是這些嬰靈們此生唯一見過的「動物」。(照呂東興的說法,那是嬰靈的父母在行房時唯一可見的生物,因為只見前頭不見尾,這陽具的下半身就只好各憑想像了)

註1:「不癲不戒」台語發音為「put tian put kai」,該詞由描述濟公的隨性風格而來,意為不三不四。
註2: 「膦神」音同台語<懶神>, 膦的正確寫法是「尸」裏加「鱗」去掉「鱗」字的魚(「鱗」去魚上方加尸)取自台華雙語辭典,但電腦無此字,以『膦』代之。
Put tian put kai “(1) – Tung-Hsing Lu’s exhibition {The dinosaur was caught spanking the monkey}
After ending the Art Taipei fair 2008 where just brought up an extensive topic about a giant sculpture, the Taiwanese artist Tung-Hsing Lu starts his first solo exhibition at JIN-ZHI GALLERY in September 7, 2008 and the exhibition will continue till Oct 26, 2008.
In the early work of Tung-Hsing Lu, he already used penis form for his sculpture vocabulary. In deed, the idea of penis form is derived from the use of language conversion. Lu usually speaks Taiwanese as his dialectic language, and Taiwanese language in general often take as a sexual organ to reference the name of the term. Lu deliberately uses this language reference which is defined as uncultured language in the society into his visual aspect. This is a challenge regarding elegant already has the definition in the Taiwan mainstream social class.
Therefore, work forever with artist’s character. Tung-Hsing Lu’s natural humor, optimism and enthusiasm for his work with a critical edge of obscurity, and yet people can not help but laugh read.
Apart from a severe disturbance of the penis dinosaur, Lu’s sculpture serious- “I Love you, mom” but represents Lu’s overwhelming power dinosaur is different from his inner quiet world as well as the work “Cocky king” (2). This should be made of Lu’s own commemoration of God, and perhaps he had made from the experience of making Buddha sculptures and quite naturally will have to create a penis God with also revolves the infant spirit to work demonstrated this god the military might and frightens. Besides, the sculpture serious “I love you, mom” is characterized the mother's womb by the form of leave, and the penis variations of these animals on the leaves are only seen "animal” by infants spirits. (As Lu said, the animal is the only obvious biology when the parents of infants spirits having sexual intercourse. Because it sees only ahead of the end of male genitals, for the rest of body can only be imagined with all.)

Note 1: “Put tian put kai” the Taiwanese pronunciation, this word is by describes Ji Gong to come along with the natural style. It means “Not insane does not abstain.”
Note 2: The work title “Cocky king” is original called “Lian Chin” in Taiwanese. “Lian” means penis, “Chin” means god.

呂東興個展 【 恐龍打手槍 8.26-10.26.2008 】


雞冠莿桐蹦開了兩朵小紅花,底下兩隻為愛走天涯的恐龍相約去看池子裡的烏龜家族,沒多遠的前方,蜥蜴大陣仗地往田中間的方向匍伏前進。這炎熱的天,陽光正燦爛著。一不小心看到恐龍在打手槍……。
每次看呂東興熟練地堆土塑型都覺得很過癮,又快又好的功夫一覽無遺。沉沉的量感、飽滿的張力,讓他的作品在這個扁平的世代多了往不同方向去的力量,當大多數人都在往上飛飄的時候,呂東興的雕塑卻要往土地裡穩穩地著力。性格裡的大器、爽朗又細膩,以及一種有著田間稻穗香味的「非都市人質感」,再混以常被他母親叨念說是不癲不戒(註1)的怪誕創作想法,於是便在泥土裡指掌間成形這次首度個展裡的怪誵世界(註2)。
金枝藝術將推出呂東興怪誕不正經的雕塑個展,並於今年八月底的台北國際藝術博覽會同期成為主打。博覽會現場將出現一隻3公尺高、身長6公尺的變體大恐龍,這隻大恐龍是由呂東興2004年作品<為愛走天涯之三>衍伸而來。另外還有限量的「類公仔」供想要入門收藏的藝術愛好者嚐鮮。
註1:「不癲不戒」台語發音為「put tian put kai」,該詞由描述濟公的隨性風格而來,意為不三不四。
註2:「怪誵」台語發音為「kuài siâu」,意為怪異、荒誕。
Two glans dinosaurs intimately falling in love and running side by side across the world going to look the turtle family in the pond; not far away front, the large lizard weaponry crawls the advance toward the field. This hot summer day, the sunshine bright on the sky and incautiously the dinosaur is caught spanking the monkey…
Each time looked at Tung-Hsing Lu pile of sculpture model with excellent skills, the good time takes in everything at a glance quickly. Lu’s fundamental sculptural techniques create substantial structure and solid strength, which allow him to explore various dimensions beyond the flat horizon of the ordinary world. While most others fixate on aiming to rise above the ground, Tung-Hsing Lu’s sculpture stubbornly strives to root into the deep land below.
In the disposition great talent, frank also is exquisite, as well as one kind has the field ear fragrance“the non-urbanite sense of reality”, again mixes by often been talking by his mother said “put tian put kai” (note 1) weird creation idea in, therefore then the fingers and the palm forms this time in the soil to unfold for the first time the “kuài siâu” world (note 2).
Following our opening ground exhibition in May, we will next be launching Tung-Hsing Lu’s solo exhibition, which will also be part of the Art Taipei Fair in the end of August 2008. Representing Jin-Zhi Glallery in the Art Taipei fair will be a nearly three-meter high and six-meter long giant variant dinosaur originally transformed from the sculpture work of “VELOCIRAPTOR-EXPLORING FOR LOVE 3” by Tung-Hsing Lu in 2004. In addition, there will also be a limited number of “bronze figures” available for collection for entry level collectors.

Note 1: “Put tian put kai” the Taiwanese pronunciation, this word is by describes Ji Gong to come along with the natural style. It means “Not insane does not abstain”
Note 2: “kuài siâu” the Taiwanese pronunciation. It means “Whimsical and strange”
