Artist Statement
I should have given the exhibition a proper title! It seems necessary that all remarkable things should have specific titles so that each of them would leave a special imprint in our minds. However, when I repeatedly looked at these bits and pieces that were gathered and remade by me, I could only glimpse at their characterization with these remnants, things from the space and time I have never participated. I know they would merely become parts of the brief encounter with you in the exhibition at the end of the day. Since it is so practical in essence, why not taking these fragments as an assembly of Sung-chih Chen’s reflection. Therefore, this exhibition is left without any titles. The exhibited works here revolve around the contemplation on the rationalized observations, which trigger the sensibility and awareness toward the minute and delicate things within the continuity of time and space. The random compound material embodies a kind of combination and delineation of form and signification, which paints a spiritual silhouette voicing the idea—both the object and the “I” are tiny and vast as the earth under the sky. In between the various focal points, through the discoveries and positioning of the delicate fragments, one reflects on the aesthetics of low material originated from contemplating on the multi-interaction and interweaving between material and spirituality. I have observed the destruction of things in our civilized lives at the sites (or in the events) of on-going changing and construction for a long time. It triggered my curiosity toward these frail things. The Delicate Sensibilities series continues my previous method, which focuses on abstract expressions using compound material. In this series of works, these coarse fragments are piled up directly into organic surfaces that are sometimes elaborating, sometimes minimalistic. With these unique spectacles, I aim to bring out the existing exquisite views of life in the viewer’s consciousness. As a matter of fact, these constructed “illusions” are the suddenly glanced “delicate sensibilities” scattered and spread in our daily experience. 其實,我是該為這個展覽訂定一個合適的標題的!就像所有美妙的事物似乎都該有個美好的題名,方便我們在腦海中為為它留下一個特殊印記。然而,當我反覆凝視著這些被我撿拾、再造的林林總總們,我確實只能憑藉著些許的殘跡努力地去拼湊物相中那段我未曾參與過的片段時空。我知道這些、那些它們,最終也不過是展出過程中你與它們的短暫邂逅,因為過於實然,也就姑且讓這些片段,成為一種「陳松志」的邏輯集合。因此,這次展出沒有題名。 「2012陳松志個展」展出作品主軸著重於思考在時空的遞嬗中,誘發感性知覺之於微弱事物的理性觀察,這些無來由的集合物質透過「形」與「意」的組合、描繪,冀以在材質與空間的媒合中,框構出猶如穹蒼之底,物我小渺的精神輪廓。在進退交錯的視點中,透過微小事物的平凡發現與擺弄,觀照出低物質美學在物質與精神的多重交互作用下相互滲透的審美思考。 好多日子以來,我總是在生活裡那些正在進行著改變與建設的地點(事件)中,看見了文明生活中我們對於物的敗壞,誘發了我對這些微弱事物的好奇。《微弱的美感》系列作品接續了個人過往在複合素材進行材質抽象化的表現進行延展,在我所創造的系列物件中,這些粗陋的素材碎片透過線性的層疊,被堆積成極繁甚或極簡的有機表面,在這些特殊的觀景中,企圖牽引出觀者意識中多許實然的生活景緻,然則這些建構起的「幻象」,著實為散落在我們日常經驗裡諸多驚鴻一瞥的「微弱美感」。(文/陳松志) |
