郭昭蘭,出生於台灣,是獨立策展人兼藝術評論者,目前生活於台灣台北。2006年於台灣師範大學西洋藝術史研究所取得博士學位。1996年至2008年,她曾任教於華梵大學美術系; 2008年至2011年間,於台灣藝術大學美術系擔任兼任副教授,教授現代藝術史與當代藝術導論。她的博士論文「1960年代的羅森柏格的藝術:朝向後現代」從酷兒研究,後現代,跨領域,等面向探測羅森柏格藝術與1980年代的美國後現代評論之間的交匯。

雖然接受的是藝術史的訓練,郭昭蘭的研究對象逐漸朝向當代藝術的領域,特別是與視覺文化相關的當代藝術研究。他策劃過的展覽包括1.CO6前衛文件展中的「複音馬賽克」(台中國家美術館,2006),2.「0與1的練習題」(台北e-2000茶館,2008),3.「非典:漂浮於典型之上」(台北,2008)4.「未來的鄉愁」(台中,2009),5.「離魂症:幻影神遊者」(台北,2010),6.「樂園:重建中」(ISCP, New York,2011 ),7.「台灣當代藝術(TCA計畫)」(ISCP, New York,2011)。

2011年郭昭蘭獲選文建會視覺暨表演人才出國駐村暨交流計畫,於紐約Iscp(International Studio and Curatorial Program)藝術村進行為期4個月的駐村計畫,並完成「台灣當代藝術(TCA計畫)」。這是一個以展演性的策展行為(performative curating)探測策展疆界的實驗性展覽,試圖透過藝術家作者權的借用,探討身份認同的界限。

Title: Offer us a reason to create an art space

Speaker: Li Xiaofei ,

Discussant: Jau-lan Guo

Host: Manray Hsu

Li Xiaofei is an experimental artist, whose works pointedly ignore the powerful contemporary Chinese art market and instead looks deeply into the political and spiritual potential of art. He has always been concerned with the problems which go beyond social and cultural differences and confronting individuals universally. He is skilled in employing dialectic and metaphors in his works to imply questions and problems. His works are simple while thought-provoking, containing a sense of humor. Fei Contemporary Art Center he founded in 2007 is a non-commercial art space for new, creative concepts, with an international standard in Shanghai China. The main objective of the FCAC is to organize experimental exhibitions and events, and thus serve as a platform for the inquiry and development of contemporary art to act. Through co-operation and communication between Chinese and international artists and organizations, projects of an inquisitive, creative and undetermined nature can emerge.

 

Independent curator and art critic Jau-lan Guo was born in Taiwan and lives in Taipei, Taiwan. In 2006 she completed her Ph.D from the Graduate Institute of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University. Guo taught in the Department of Fine Arts, Huafan University from 1996 to 2008 and was adjunct associate professor in the Department of Fine Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts from 2008 to 2011. She taught history of modern art and contemporary art. Her Doctoral Dissertation “Robert Rauschenberg’s Art in the 1960s:Toward Postmodern” examines the attempts of American postmodern theorists and art critics since the 80s to transplant French theories through analyzing Rauschenberg’s art.

Trained as an art historian, Guo’s  studies and projects have extended to the visual culture related issues in contemporary art. So far she has curated seven major exhibitions, they are:

1. Polyphonic Mosaic: CO6 Avant-Garde Documenta (National Taiwan Museum of Arts, Taichung, Taiwan) , 2006
2. Exercise of 0 and 1, 2008
3. Anti-type: Floating over the Stereotype, 2008
4. Nostalgia for Future,  2009
5. Somnambulism: Phantasmagoric Fugue, 2010
6. Paradise: Under RE-Construction(ISCP, New York), 2011
7. Taiwanese Contemporary Art (TCA Project) (ISCP, New York,. 2011

In 2011 Jau-Lan Guo was selected by Taiwan’s Council for Cultural Affairs for artist-in-residence in New York, an exchange program with Iscp(International Studio and Curatorial Program). During the four months of  her residency, she organized the Project of Taiwanese Contemporary Art, an experiment of 「performative curating」 which approached the limitations of curatorship as well as the effectiveness of identity through borrowing the authorship from the participating artists.
