《關鍵字時代 – 當地理作為一種隱喻》事件3:「讓恐龍嘶吼吧」

時間:2019.11.25(一)7-9pm
地點:Art Anew gallery & cafe(台中市精誠五街32號)

本活動為現象書寫系列專欄《關鍵字時代 – 當地理作為一種隱喻》當中的一起事件。作者徐詩雨將穿插過往的展覽計畫與選映作品介紹寫作關鍵字「媒體考古學」的概念。而當「地理作為一種隱喻」,我們到底用了什麼喻體與喻依?這一切的解答,是不是就藏在國立自然科學博物館的生命科學廳?

徐詩雨:
徐詩雨畢業於國立中央大學通訊工程所與紐約大學視覺藝術行政研究所,曾參與臺北市立美術館2017威尼斯雙年展台灣館策展培力。現為台北當代藝術中心策展人,研究的領域包括圖像、記憶與空間,文章散見於《Yishu》、《藝術論壇》中文網、《典藏投資》與《藝術家》等媒體。

關於《關鍵字時代 – 當地理作為一種隱喻》:
台北當代藝術中心(TCAC)獲首屆國藝會「現象書寫-視覺評論」專案補助,以提案《關鍵字時代 – 當地理作為一種隱喻》,透過非典型的文章形式與內容,想像藝術評論書寫的可能性。五位作者王柏偉、方彥翔、郭娟、徐詩雨與陳璽安將自行挑選一個關鍵字發展系列藝術評論,可進行多位藝術家同時評論,或是跨國界與跨展覽的書寫。文體也將跳脫傳統評論形式,以小說形式或是散文等形式等創作,於中英雙語藝術媒體平台《介面 SCREEN》發表。並且於2019年由每位評論人根據書寫關鍵字中涉及的概念,策劃一「事件」。透過TCAC作為一個具有實體空間的連結點,橫向連結評論人與空間的互動,本專欄所生產的知識可以以文字之外的姿態呈現。

* 本活動感謝國藝會「現象書寫-視覺評論」專案、文心藝術基金會、蘇美智女士的慷慨支持。

The Age of Keywords: Geography as Metaphor, Happening 3, Let the Dinosaur Roar

Time: 2019.11.25 Mon. 7-9pm
Venue: Art Anew gallery & cafe(No.32 Jingcheng 5th St., Taichung)

The event is a part of the happenings in accordance with the launch of The Age of Keywords: Geography as Metaphor. Writer Shih-yu Hsu will talk about her writing keyword Media Archeology, along with several past exhibition and screening works that connected to the concept. When we talk about geography as metaphor, what is used as symbolic and what is used as figurative? Can we find the answer in the Dinosaur Hall in the National Museum of Natural Science?

Shih-yu Hsu
Shih-yu Hsu studied Communication Engineering and Visual Art Administration at National Central University in Taiwan and New York University. Her research field includes image, memory and space. She joined the curatorial team of Taiwan Pavilion in Venice Biennale 2017. Hsu is curator at Taipei Contemporary Art Center. Her writing on art has been published on several publications including ArtForum.cn, Artist Magazine, Art Investment and Yi-shu.

About The Age of Keywords: Geography as Metaphor:
TCAC, the grantee of newly launched Visual Art Critic Project, is proud to announce the launch of a new column The Age of Keywords: Geography as Metaphor, in collaboration with the bilingual online art platform SCREEN. This column aims to challenge the traditional format of art criticism, re-imaging new forms of effective art criticism in our time. Five contributors—Po-wei Wang, Fang Yen-Hsiang, Guo Juan, Shih-yu Hsu, and Zian Chen—will each develop a writing series based on a selected keyword. The manifestations could be essayistic reviews that draw connections between exhibitions and artworks from different countries, or fictional, poetic pieces that question our perceptions of reality. In addition, each contributor will curate a “happening” that centers around his or her chosen keyword in 2019. Ideas and subjects generated by the writings can be further expanded and passed on beyond written texts and shared between individuals in TCAC’s physical space.

* The Visual Art Critic Project is sponsored by National Culture and Arts Foundation, Taiwan, Winsing Arts Foundation and Mrs. Su Mei-Chi.
