結合虛構劇情與紀錄片,雷德蒙.恩特威斯爾(Redmond Entwistle)的作品探討特定的地理、教學模式、歷史人物與事件,將之視作探討更大議題的線索-像是,不平等經濟如何在世代間重複地被生產,以及民主機構的興衰。《穿行》由檔案影像與重演訪談構成,探討洛杉磯加州藝術學院的歷史,尤其是藝術家麥可.艾許(Michael Asher)的「後工作室課程」對他學生的影響。恩特威斯爾在片中討論美術教育的商品化以及個人言論如何在當代藝術與民主社會裡產生作用。在《紀念碑》裡演員扮演後極限主義(post-minimalism)藝術家丹.格雷厄姆(Dan Graham)、戈爾登.馬塔.克拉克(Gordon Matta-Clark)與羅伯.史密森 (Robert Smithson)等人, 並重訪他們在新紐澤西的作品與寫作。藉由重演藝術家的歷史,這部電影也紀錄了該區域工業的蕭條,作為美國從60年代開始就建立的全球化影響的寓言。 

雷德蒙.恩特威斯爾 (b.1977, London)在加州藝術學院學習電影,也參與惠特尼美術館的美國藝術獨立研究課程。他的作品在泰德美術館,倫敦蛇形藝廊,法國龐畢度,紐約電影文集資料館等地展出放映。

註解:
後工作室課程,是70年代麥可.艾許在加州藝術學院創立的批判性的研討課程(crit)。此課程進行方式是,早上十點開始,兩位學生輪番呈現作品,並相互批判地討論直到達到共識後,無法繼續之後才能停止。此課程完全沒有時間表概念,經常討論至半夜三更,是一種全面的精疲力竭式的評論活動。「它需要時間與事(物)件,一種沒有限制的時間,既不是立即式的或是無盡的時間,而是被術語,被文字,節奏,抑揚頓挫,決定的時間。這事(物)件,並不是在時間之中,而是它本身就是時間,或它擁有時間,或是它需要擁有,給予,經歷時間,以及,時間作為一種韻律,它不會落於單向的時間感,而是建築在原初原創的架構裡。」(Jacques Derrida, Given Time: I. Counterfeit Money, trans. )如此的課程最後導向如麥可.艾許所言:「創作者自以為作品所傳達的,以及,由他人實際觀察結果的極大懸殊差異。」也就是作品內在邏輯的破裂,以及創作者小心架構的再現產生了矛盾與衝突。

‘Combining documentary with fictional scenarios, the films of Redmond Entwistle (b. London, 1977) examine specific geographical sites, pedagogical models, and historical figures and events as a means to address larger issues—for the films in this exhibition, these concerns include how economic inequalities are reproduced across generations and the rise and collapse of democratic institutions.

‘By way of archival footage and restaged interviews, Walk-Through (2012, 16mm film to HD video, color and b&w, sound, 18 min.), considers the history of the California Institute of the Arts, in particular the impact of artist Michael Asher’s “post-studio” class on his former students. Entwistle’s work becomes a means for examining the commodification of education and how individual speech functions in contemporary art as well as in democracy. In Monuments (2010, 16mm film to HD video, color, sound, 29 min.), the artists Dan Graham, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Robert Smithson, are portrayed or “reproduced” by actors who revisit the writings and sites of the artists’ work in New Jersey. In retracing these artists’ histories, the film also documents the decline of industry in the region, operating as an allegory for the effects of globalization on America’s built environment since the late 1960s.’ – Alise Upitis, MIT List Visual Arts Center
