就在藝術空間很榮幸於三月份推出侯怡亭／王煜松雙人展，此展覽將展出兩位藝術家在格蘭菲迪駐村經驗轉化而來的全新創作作品。分別於2021 及2022年疫情仍肆虐的時期到蘇格蘭進駐三個月的侯怡亭與王煜松，不約而同的在個陌生的國度以一種順其自然的狀態體驗及觀察當地及當時的一切。這段難得的體驗，藝術家將以聲音、裝置及繪畫呈現給觀眾。展覽訂於3月11日週六晚間7點至9點開幕。
展覽介紹 侯怡亭- WHISKY GOSSIP 這場時間的旅途是一條森林小徑的距離；以步伐感知時間，觸摸苔蘚理解身處之地。合奏一場身體勞動與物摩擦聲響的演出；是身體勞動參與瓶裝生產線的工作時間，瓶子在輸送帶上跑得很快，自己的身體與他人身體，隨著機器，手部操作的速度、節奏...。最終我折服於高地腐植層的地質深時間，是來自時間與物質的累績…… 侯怡亭將於就在藝術空間呈現一現地製作，她將駐村期間於工廠工作時的身體/聲音/環境產出的律動波紋為圖景，織成聲波織毯，提供觀眾一個臨時參與的現場聲音/觸覺平台。 王煜松- ANGEL’S SHARE ANGEL’S SHARE是屬於威士忌的浪漫，每年酒桶裡會有百分之二蒸散到空氣中，蒸發而去的酒液就像是被天使抽了稅，貢獻給天地。 鳥兒在空中盤旋，動物在森林中穿梭，他們偶爾路過吃著草地上的蟲子或植物，並將其吞下肚，不一會兒牠們就在草地上排泄，排泄物從空中落下，又回到這片土地成為土壤，土壤又再度幫助草兒生長。所有物質元素，包括人的細胞、酒的酵母、河川的水……在物理現象與化學反應之間，不斷而且持續地在轉換和循環。 王煜松將駐村期間對周遭環境的探索及感受用繪畫的方式記錄下來。繪畫用的炭筆是藝術家從地上隨意撿拾來的樹枝製成的，他在想的是在製作媒材的過程是否也能是一種物質的轉換。另外也將展出藝術家在當地蒐集到的地表物質製作成的球體雕塑，是一個延續近期作品脈絡的創作。 。。。。。。。 Project Fulfill Art Space is pleased to present WHISKY GOSSIP Vs. ANGEL’S SHARE: Two-Person Exhibition by Hou I-Ting and Wang Yu-Song opening in March 2023. For this exhibition artists created a site-specific installation, sound, sculptures and drawings inspired by their times at Glenfiddich Artists in Residence in 2021 and 2022, with its surrounding natural scenery having left a deep impression on the artist. The exhibition opening will be held on 11 March 2023 at 7pm at Project Fulfill Art Space. About exhibition Hou I-Ting - WHISKY GOSSIP In addition, this journey with time was a small forest path; Every day I walked there and perceived time through the steps I took, while learning to differentiate plants and the moss I touched as a way of better understanding the place I found myself and the labor of the bottling line; When it comes to the human concept of time, factories, schools and physical labor are all dependent on this mechanism for dividing up and allocating time so society is more stable or it is possible to create the enclosed time related to COVID-19 quarantine; After taking two PCR tests per week and two two-week periods of isolation, I submitted to the deep time represented by the humus layer of the Highlands; Geological deep time originates in the accumulation of time and matter ... On this occasion, the on-site work in the art space, transformed rhythmic ripples created by the bodies, sounds and environment from my early period at the distillery into pictures, thereby creating a soundwave pattern carpet that provided visitors with a temporary sound/touch platform with which to interact. Wang Yu-Song - ANGEL’S SHARE Angel’s share is integral to the romance of whiskey. Every year about 2 percent of every cask evaporates into the air, as if it taken by the angels as a tax or a form of tribute. The birds circled in the sky above, crows, seagulls and even pheasants. Animals came and went through the forest, wild hares, cows, sheep and even deer. Occasionally they came across insects subsisting on the forest floor or plants and swallowed them whole. Before long the animals excreted on the ground or excreta fell from the sky, returned to the land to become soil which again helped the grass to grow. Between physical phenomena and chemical reaction, all physical elements, whether human cells, alcohol yeast or river water, are engaged in a cycle of constant and continual transformation. Wang recorded what he had explored and experienced during his stayed in Dufftown where the residency program located through drawings. He used charcoal pencils he made out of branches randomly picked up from the ground. Wang was wondering whether producing the medium could also be a process of physical transformation. In addition, the spherical objects, which contain materials he collected in Dufftown, from his previous series will also be shown in this exhibition. |
