拾回

陸府生活美學教育基金會長期關懷生態、支持藝文，2018 年初始，陸府生活美學教育基金會十分榮幸邀請當代重要藝術家照屋勇賢，來台舉辦華人地區首次大型個展『拾回』。本次展覽將展出藝術家八項代表性系列作品，其中將有三件委託製作作品，靈感來自陸府社區的臺灣原生樹木。

 

Live Forever Foundation is pleased to present LOST FOUND an exhibition by established Japanese artist Teruya Yuken.The exhibition includes eight iconic series of works, including the best known paper bag series “Notice-Forest”, “Constellation”, and “Bingata Kimonos”. We are also thrilled to show new commissioned works of Notice Forest, inspired by original Taiwanese trees planted at our community.

 

LOST FOUND is an exhibition that has a strong communication with the exhibition space’s natural environment. The space contains two floors with all the series spreading out. One commissioned work directly drew inspiration from the tree at the exhibition space. 

 

日本藝術家照屋勇賢現居於紐約。擅於使用大眾消費性物件進行創作，其作品媒材包含紙袋、紙筒等現成物，透過藝術家細膩手法創作，呈現出別緻深刻的立體作品。自古以來人類對自然環境著迷，照屋勇賢使用日常隨處可見、被丟棄的媒材做創作，以此表現對自然之關懷。作品議題與媒材之間的關係創造出一件件富含詩意、拉鋸感並且令人著迷的作品。

照屋勇賢的創作也來自於對家鄉沖繩的記憶以及在西方社會下的影響。『和服系列』表現出藝術家對於自身身份、沖繩文化與歷史狀態的感受。乍看之下，作品具有傳統和服的鮮明特徵，色彩鮮艷奪目、配色大膽，是沖繩獨有的紅型絹印和服(Bingata)。然而當觀者近看這身和服時便會察覺和服上的圖騰除了沖繩紋飾與代表性動植物，甚至還交織著軍事戰爭符號，包含跳傘、軍事飛機等，美麗與恐懼相互並存。

 

Notice-Forest, starting from the inspiration of Aristotle’s philosophy of nature-An acorn has both an actual form as an acorn and a potential form to become a sapling and an oak tree. In Teurya Yuken’s Notice Forest work, he considered if a paper bag still had the potential form of becoming a tree. This concept also carries throughout the entire exhibition. The kimono piece “You-I, You-I”, using a special color dye technique in Okinawa with images on the piece give you the sense of multiple layers of history in a unified timeline. Since Okinawa has a long history of occupation, its culture is a mixture of its tradition and two foreign cultures, Japan and the US.
