The Joke Project is a conceptual allegory about contemporary art, performance, exhibitions and their manufacturing system. Through exhibiting, recording and documenting, this exhibition presents both the visible product and invisible process of art. The work is divided into two sections: the first section is the “illustrated joke,” which is composed of images on the left side and text on the right side; neither of which correspond to the other and therefore this challenges the usual practice of logically matched images and text in capitalist media. The second section is process documentation. I have carefully collected and made documents to present the process from artistic conception to application for grants, arranging the exhibition venue, artwork production, advertising, securing a critic, setting the exhibition and the conclusion and verification of the project. This project emphasizes the power relationship between the individual and the system. It presents the interactive context between the artist, his work, medium and art system, so the viewer can read and interpret the work. The work also hints at the function and consumption of contemporary cultural and art programs, which is exactly like a joke: see it, hear it, have a laugh and then forget it.
「笑話計畫」是一件反思諷喻當代文化藝術展演與生產機制的觀念性作品。藉著展覽、紀錄與文件,將當代藝術中「可見的結果」與「不可見的過程」同時呈現出來。 作品分兩部分,一是「笑話圖文」:構成形式是左邊影像,右邊文字,二者提供一種冷凝的對比,挑戰資本主義傳媒慣用的影像文字邏輯。二是「過程文件」:計畫性的收集、製作文件,呈現從創作構想到申請創作補助、接洽場地檔期、製作作品、買廣告、找藝評、佈展、結案核銷的過程。 這個計畫凸顯個人與體制的權力關係,呈現藝術家與他作品、媒體、藝術機制互動的脈絡,進而成為閱讀與詮釋作品的脈絡。它同時隱喻當代文化藝術活動的功能與消耗,似乎就像笑話一樣:「看了,聽了,笑一笑,就算了吧」。
