LIN Guan-Ming 林冠名

LIN GUAN-MING 林冠名

在科技日新月異與數位影像技術不斷提升的今日，人們幾乎持平地擁有影像中的世界，然而，觀看這些如此細膩影像的過程中，我們是如何再一次看待世界？林冠名的影像作品並非藉由錄影媒介之特質或物理性來突破視覺藝術的範疇，甚至只把它當成是他的另外一雙眼睛，把他所關照的事物「紀錄」下來。這些紀錄，與其當作是「看」的對象，但林冠名寧願將它們視為「被看」的主體。他永遠在這樣的關係結構中，透過一次又一次的「看」與「被看」來組構影像中的世界，並進一步試問及回應自身，在影像無所不在的當下，自己的影像如何可能？

林冠名，1981年生於台灣臺北，畢業於國立臺北藝術大學科技藝術研究所碩士班。長期投入影像創作，並視影像為觀看「時間」的想像和思考，企圖從影像生產過度的現下，來重拾影像可能的剩餘「記憶」。作品自2004年「媒體痙攣（Co4臺灣前衛文件展）」展覽後，便開始在國內重要聯展嶄露頭角，並曾在北京、上海、香港、巴黎、福岡、美國等地展出。2008年在臺北當代藝術館舉辦個展「靜默突襲」，同年並榮獲「臺北美術獎」。近期重要展覽包含：「未來劇場」，關渡美術館，台北，台灣（2018）、「熱帶氣旋」，關渡美術館，台北（2017）、「Local to Local」，ARTFORUM RHEE，富川，韓國（2017）、「時空頓點─臺灣錄像藝術展」 CentroCentro，台北，柏林，馬德里等（2012）、「心動EMU」，臺北當代藝術館，台北（2012）、「曖昧的存在：是誰在懼怕認同？」，台北，柏林，台拉维夫（2012）、「白駒過隙‧山動水行─從劉國松到新媒體藝術」，國立台北美術館，台北（2010）、「冷熱面─臺灣當代錄像藝術巡迴展，路易斯維爾大學Art Gallery of Allen R.

簡歷 Biographical documents

In today’s world of advanced technology and ever-improving digital imaging technology, everyone seems to own the world depicted through image. However, as we view these detailed images, how do we reinterpret the world from a different perspective? Lin Guan-Ming’s work does not intend to break through the limit of visual arts through the physicality and quality of digital media. Lin regards his work as another pair of eyes that he uses to record various content. However, Lin treats these recordings as the subjects to be seen rather than the object of seeing. It is through this relationship of seeing and being seen that he constructs the world through images, while continuously to question and reflect on the possibilities within a contemporary climate pervasive with imagery.

Lin Guan-Ming was born in 1981 in Taipei, Taiwan. In 2010 he obtained an MFA from the Graduate Institute of Art and Technology, Taipei National University of the Arts, Taiwan. Focusing on video and photographic processes, Lin's art practice reflects on the relationship and possibilities of time and memory through image manipulation and the production process. Since his 2004 exhibition Media Cramp, Co4 Taiwan Avant-garde Documenta II in Taipei, Lin began to exhibit widely including in Beijing, Hong Kong, Paris, Fukuoka and the United States. In 2008 he was awarded the Taipei Arts Award and held his major solo exhibition Silence Attacks at MoCA Taipei in the same year.
