「要在現下的世界裡,有所期待地度過一日又一日,讓自己的生命不至於被壓得太乾癟,說實在不是太容易的事。所以就算不相信聖誕老人和真愛,但我選擇不定時相信超能力或是時光扭曲點的存在。就藏在我們之中,或許是捷運上站在車門口的高中生,或者某個經常路過的巷口。可能下一秒就不小心開啟了隱藏的故事線,成為主角或者馬上領便當的路人甲乙丙——只要活著,每一天都是全新大冒險!(當然也是可以換成:「醒來睜開雙眼,分分秒秒面臨生死抉擇!」等)——必須時不時這樣想著,在現實裡挖掘藏匿的逃脫路徑,找到了就是你的,用以應付生活的平庸與地心引力,偶爾也能因此被(暫時)療癒。」

由小8章芷珩打頭陣擔綱首發「TCAC Video Lounge X 鳳甲美術館TIVA錄像資料庫 選映單元」的選映人,開幕夜就是屬於大家的跳蚤市場派對。快把生活裡的廢物囤貨、塵封物件挖出來,或許他的垃圾就是她的寶物,一起加入這個隨機形態的重新混組,讓這輩子其中的一次冒險在週末夜歸零前開啟新的任務支線。

關於TCAC Video Lounge X 鳳甲美術館TIVA錄像資料庫
「TCAC Video Lounge X 鳳甲美術館TIVA錄像資料庫」由TCAC與鳳甲美術館攜手合作,共同建立一個共享與開放的錄像藝術作品資料庫平台,結合TCAC自2010年創辦起迄今所建置的藝術家檔案庫,以及2008年起由鳳甲美術館持續舉辦「台灣國際錄像藝術展」(TIVA)之歷屆入選作品,由兩個機構所整合之檔案庫即日起於TCAC的錄像廳空間中常態性提供開放閱覽,提供一個讓觀者與錄像密切對話的場域,也作為國內外策展人、藝評、研究者對台灣當代藝術專業研究之管道。
每季透過與不同領域策劃人合作的選映活動與討論形態,試圖將影像資料庫轉化成為一個再生產的活化機制,並且為台灣當代錄像藝術場景注入一種更具有跨越精神的觀看、閱讀與評論。
除了邀請選映以外,此計畫更將舉辦不定期的主題放映徵件,觀察新的錄像表現語彙,並期待能透過資料庫的活化行動,獲得更多藝術家分享錄像作品加入檔案庫的收藏,豐富錄像藝術流動的介面。

如何參與本計畫:

  1. 錄像資料庫:每年由TCAC策展研究團隊針對特定主題性進行錄像作品公開徵件,無償徵求創作者提供研究版(非正式展出版)之錄像檔案,作為本共同資料庫之非營利性質的研究與閱讀使用。透過TCAC之專業策展工作人員之編輯、建檔整理、國際網絡聯繫,以及密集舉辦的各類交流活動,您的作品將與更多研究者與觀眾對話。
  2. 放映單元策劃選映人:每季TCAC Video Lounge週期性推出選映討論活動,將視不同主題邀請或開放徵求策劃選映人。每檔放映主題都將由TCAC提供相關策劃費、放映費與活動車馬費。
  3. 主動向TCAC提出您的錄像放映、檔案活化的各種策劃與行動方案。請將您的方案寄至信箱office@tcac.tw,工作團隊將於每月定期會議中討論您的方案。

“To be honest, it is never an easy job to live a life day by day in what you expected and to lead a life not being squeezed or too dry. Even not believing in Santa or true love, I would tend to believe in magic powers or time warps. Perhaps the one is just among one of us, and that could be one of the high school student who standing by the train door in metro or the familiar streets. Or perhaps the hidden narritive would be unolcked all in a sudden and the characters or random passagers – only if he or she survives, then the every single day will be its individual adverture! (Of course it can be replaced as follow: Every time when you wake up, that’s the every moment you face to make the cruial desicion.) – It has to be considered in this way all the time that by seeking an escape route, then it’s all yours. In turn this is used to deal with the daily routines and the gravity, and sometimes you might be able to be (temporarily) cured.”

TCAC is pleased to invite Shauba Chang to be the first Movie Picker of Video Lounge X TIVA Video Art Selection Series.  And to launch the series TCAC hosts a fleamarket party. Dig out all your house waste! Your rubbish could be another’s treasure. Come to join this random mix-match event and to let the adventure kick off its new messions before the midnight on comingup weekend!

About the TCAC Video Lounge X Hong-gah Museum TIVA Video Art Archive
This archive is a collaboration between two organizations to create an open database for video art. It features the TCAC Artist Archive’s collection (since 2010) and Hong-gah Musem’s TIVA open call’s selection works (since 2008), providing researchers, critics, curators a resource for professional research and audience an opportunity to develop different dialogues with video art works.

Every season a special guest screening programmer will be invited to host a Video Lounge event with the archive material, creating a performative mediation and reproduction for moving image exhibition. The archive will challenge ways of seeing by clustering energy and spirits for the Taiwan contemporary video art scene.

Apart from the special screening selection event, the project will host open calls to engage and observe new expressions. All archive activication events encourage artists to share their video works in the archive to enrich the flux of video art distribution.

How to participate:

  1. Video Archive: TCAC will run thematic annual open call for new entries for screening program, inviting artists to donate video works (research copies) for strictly non-for-profit purpose. Through TCAC’s editorial, archving, networking and event platform, an open access for researchers and audience will be created for further distribution.
  2. Video Lounge screening programer: TCAC will invite or call for screening programers to do special screening program and discussion. Each video lounge event will be provided with curatorial fee and screening fee.
