CHEN SUNG-CHIH 陳松志

1978 年生於台灣，畢業於國立台南藝術大學造形藝術研究所(MFA)，專長複合媒體空間裝置。過去以來常藉以現成物進行複合創作，這些現成的生活素材在創作者的任意拚湊、組合下，轉化後呈現出有別於粗糙、生冷的物質原性，並微妙地注入濃厚複雜的心理元素，作品往往因此產生溫度，富有詩意。歷年參與多次國際藝術家駐村以及交換計畫於美國International Studio & Curatorial Program, New York、韓國MMCA Goyang Art Studio、英國Visiting Arts London、埃及The Townhouse Gallery、法國Cité International des Arts、台灣The Stock 20 等地。過去作品曾獲2013路易威登Louis Vuitton台北藝文空間藝術徵件計畫首獎、2012易雅居藝術獎得主、第十二屆李仲生基金會視覺藝術獎得主、第三屆台新藝術獎2004 年度七大視覺藝術、2008＆2003 台北美術獎優選、2001 世安藝術創作獎…等，自2001 年起陸續發表個展，並多次受邀參與國內多次重要聯展。現居住創作於台北台灣。

陳松志歷年作品皆以觀念出發，藉由材質本身的語彙去呈現生活中經常被忽略之感性片段，呈現方式以空間裝置為主，其大型整體空間裝置作品多以尺寸近似常民居住之獨立空間為單位，並融入自身與社會之具有時間性之事件，其目的在於努力揭示一種取自於經驗中強大的斷裂、毀棄以及微弱的蒐集。陳松志總是盡可能在平淡無奇的生活中尋找人性、物性醜態下的殘存美感，這美是來自於自然法則的毀落、消耗後的殘狀，或是來自暴力後的痕跡，其善於抽象化一日常生活的記憶片段，在具形與意之間牽引出個人之於荒謬現實的多重矛盾關係。

Born 1978 in Taiwan, Chen Sung-Chih graduated from Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts, Tainan National University of the Arts, with emphasis in mixed media installation. Previous works include mixed creations using ready-made objects. These ready-made life materials are randomly assembled, combined, and transformed in order to present something different from the original rough and cold material quality with a delicately blended complex psychological element. These art creations, therefore, are given warmth and poetic meanings. In the past years, there were several participations in artist-in-residence in international studio and exchange programs in USA, Korea, Britain, Egypt, France, and Taiwan. Previous artworks used to receive 2013 Spirit of Travel–Espace Louis Vuitton Taipei Audition- First Prize, 2012 35 Visual Artist Support Winner, The 12th Visual Arts Prize of Li Chun-shan Foundation, 2004 Taishin Arts Award – Top 7 of Visual Arts, 2008 & 2003 Taipei Arts Award Best-selected, and 2001 S-An Aesthetics Award – Arts Creation Support. There have been individual exhibitions since 2001 and numerous invitations for the participation of important exhibitions in Taiwan. He currently lives and works in Taipei.

Chen Sung-Chih’s past works were all based on this idea, using the language of the material itself to present the sensitive segments of the life that are often ignored. The works are mainly showcased by spatial installation, and large spatial installation works are often in the unit of the common residential space. The works also incorporate the time-sensitive social events to reveal the strong force of rupture and destruction drawn from experiences, as well as subtle collection. Chen Sung-Chih always tries his best to search for human nature in plain life, and for the remaining sense of beauty from ugly objects. This beauty comes from the destruction of natural law, from the residue after consumption, or maybe from the trace after violence…. Its abstracted marvel – memory fragments from daily lives between the form and the meaning reveals the multi contradictory relations of each individual toward the absurd reality.
