A Drop of Water from Caoxi: Shi Jin-Hua—2022 Buddha’s Birthday Exhibition

Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery 23 Apr - 12 Jun 2022 「從古代至近代，宗教之神聖與偉大均透過藝術而得到了永恆。只是在現今之創作中，「當代宗教藝術」卻是一個不存在的類別。」此缺席所象徵的是藝術世俗價值的抬頭以至於宗教內涵之消失、藝術家批判精神所帶來的嘲諷、敵對與虛無態度、或是如許多藝評人所說的那般，藝術最終已取代了宗教，成為人們朝聖之對象。於是，我們從藝術服務於宗教的時代，到藝術與宗教水火不容之當代，曾經共榮過的兩者難道只能分道揚鑣？」——陳宏星 「曹溪一滴」展，是作為一名當代行者對生命存在及苦難所做出的藝術沉思。藝術家從行者的位置，在藝術領域裡做出了一些宗教實踐。因此很多藝術形式與修行法門並無差異，其思想與行為的根源始終是佛法的思維、修行、文本。 通常「曹溪一滴」是指佛理的真諦妙義，與諸位分享其中的精神與感悟。 Read more

Post Experimental Ink-How We Create Art

School of Fine Arts, Nanjing Normal University 24 Dec 2021 - 24 Mar 2022 策展人 : 張羽 關鍵字：得意忘形（黃賓虹）→前衛書法、具體派、抽象表現主義（二戰後書寫的世界主義）→物派、單色繪畫（現代主義的東方主義）→現代水墨畫、現代水墨、實驗水墨（水墨≠水墨畫）→極多主義、念珠與筆觸→存在藝術1、覺知藝術2、後實驗水墨（當代藝術） 引言：在學界一次又一次提及繪畫死亡、藝術終結的當下，我們面對水墨概念到底還能談論什麼或應該談論什麼？是很值得深思的議題。是關於水墨畫、水墨或是藝術？這既是三個不同的層次或層面，更是皆然不同的空間，關鍵是完全不同的認知。當然更會出現全然不同的答案。“後實驗水墨”自然選擇了後者——藝術，這也緣于“實驗水墨”的起點。倘若後實驗水墨不談論水墨而討論創造藝術，那麼實驗水墨已然走出水墨的困局完成中西兩方面的他者，既創造了自身傳統的他者，也創造了西方的他者。於是獲得創造藝術的自由，即完成了水墨現代主義的東方主義。如此，後實驗水墨顯然是明確的。 這裡的關鍵字，是依據從水墨畫到水墨至當代藝術的發展線索，事實上就是以國際化的視野觀看從水墨畫走向水墨，走向創造藝術的發展簡史。 展覽分七個單元： 展覽依據作品表達的方向以六個單元呈現 一、 觀念即表達：以觀念作為表達，呈現水墨概念的當代認知。 二、 方法即表達：以方法既作為觀念同時也是表達，呈現水墨關念的當代認知。 三、觀念與社會：以觀念切入社會現實，呈現社會場域的當代視覺表達。 四、日常與表達：以日常經驗作為表達，呈現一種日常化的視覺觀看。 五、觀念與日常：以觀念轉換自然及社會日常的表達，將抽離的水或墨的媒介與自然作用的呈現。 六、語言的隱喻：以一種提純的語言呈現對表達的隱喻，以複合手段顯現視覺的水墨。 七、媒介與觀念：以水墨媒介作為工具+觀念，呈現多重關係的水墨邊緣狀態，即理性的、抽象的水墨視覺。 Read more

Constancy and Impermanence

Chini Gallery 2 Dec 2015 - 14 Feb 2016 「常—四人聯展」將以雕塑、水墨、繪畫等媒材探究藝術家如何自日常生活截取創作素材，轉化成各具代表性的藝術語彙，從日常開啟探討並延伸至生命本質與終極價值的思辨。李光裕今年的大型新作「心子」刻畫母與子的情愛，也是藝術家回應物慾橫流的當代社會，唯有回到本質，一如最根本的親情，才能觸及直抵人心的高度美感與感動。許雨仁的「細筆水墨」、「粗筆水墨」以及「彩墨系列」以三種不同的表現形式，截取日常生活的花草植物、石頭大地為創作元素，從舊有筆法開創嶄新的表現與思維方式，或粗獷有力、抑或曖昧不明的筆觸，濃淡之間的交替，傳遞許雨仁個人對於環境與人生的多重思辨與反省。池農深的「孟都西娜系列」體現藝術家受到自然造化之美的啓迪，宛若照片顯影的水墨構成藝術家的心靈山水。走過人生半百，池農深體悟人生乃為時間流所刻畫出的生命層理，在變動中尋求到內心之所，則為從容之本。石晉華的「走筆系列」則傳達藝術家個人的宗教觀與生命思想。一如其創作自述所言：「生命，就像給你一枝鉛筆去寫去畫，而過程就是老、病、死。這筆終究是要磨滅的。」他以「筆」譬喻「人生」，所走過的路徑可能相似，卻也各自不同，但終點卻都一樣，又回到輪迴的原點。「常」，一切看似無常的變動，孕育於日常，萬物更迭，成住壞空，也誠為人生恆常的定律。 Read more

Unceasing Reincarnation

Show Gallery 1 - 30 Nov 2014 1964年出生澎湖，現居高雄的石晉華，專職於觀念行為藝術創作，因患有先天性糖尿病，常需使用血糖機測量並記錄病情，因此將「測量」與「記錄」觀念融入思維，作品時常圍繞身體與生命做為主要創作核心。1994年石晉華開始以「筆」做為創作媒材與發想，從作品中可以感悟到他顛覆一般人對筆的認知，不只是做為創作與書寫的工具，而是將筆比擬為人，將筆隱喻為主體的我，由嘗試各式不同的筆在紙上行走的軌跡，展開對生命存在的探索。藉由筆的使用過程，石晉華從中探索生命週期並檢視生命，他將生命喻為一枝鉛筆去書寫、描繪，把在紙上留下的筆觸痕跡喻為人一生的作為，而這些筆的使用過程則隱喻出肉體的老、病、死，直到最後被磨滅殆盡。 此次在小畫廊展出的石晉華《走筆》系列作品，可以看到藝術家以筆繪製出不同的線條與符號，如直線、曲線、圓心等，並以攝影或文字收集方式記錄成「走筆文件」做為筆的身份記錄，帶領觀者隨著筆跡的起伏潮落探尋人生意義。不同於《走筆》系列的生命探索，《當代藝術煉金術三部曲》運用觀念藝術手法點名當代藝術市場各面向問題，包含探討藝術價值與價格關聯，藝術商業利益分配，藝術圈食物鏈關係，石晉華以其幽默機智的眼光，以錄像、文件或影像呈現出自身對於藝術種種問題的反思，是一深具省思的優秀創作。 Read more

Fragments Refining – Variable and Invariable of Contemporary Art

NCTU gallery 24 Sep - 26 Oct 2014 我們見到歷史中的藝術作品種類不斷地流變擴張，當代藝術的多元甚至達到打破媒材形式的藩籬，似乎已到了沒有甚麼不可以的無邊無界。如果藝術創作的媒材形式可以是多樣的、是可變動的，那麼，其中是否仍有甚麼是維持不變的？或是，真有這個不可變動的存在嗎？媒材形式看似不相干的零碎，其相互之間是否維繫著共同存有的本質？ 交通大學藝文空間舉辦「碎碎煉–當代藝術的變與不變」，由徐婉禎擔任策展人，邀請了十一位當代藝術家，有王午、石晉華、李根在、呂浩元、吳季璁、吳繼濤、林羿束、翅男、郭慧禪、葉怡利、葉育男等人。他們在此提出多樣化媒材的作品展出，如水墨、油畫、版畫、木雕、裝置、錄像、行為藝術文件、機械動力裝置、科技互動作品等各類形式。 本展企圖在可變的藝術形式之中，尋覓一種不可變的藝術價值，而此藝術價值正是眾多藝術家進行藝術創作的本心，相信藝術價植的存在是支持藝術家繼續從事創作的力量，對原本初衷的回歸更是藝術家於創作過程中不致迷途的指引。「碎碎煉」展要講的就是這個謹守藝術價值本心的創作態度，以展覽以及展覽裡的作品叨叨「碎唸」歷久不衰的「淬煉」。 Read more

The Trilogy of Contemporary Art Alchemy

Inart Space 3 Jul - 15 Aug 2010 石晉華生於澎湖馬公，畢業於美國加州大學爾灣分校藝術創作研究所《當代藝術煉金術三部曲 》肇始於2008年末全球性金融危機，當時藝術買氣嚴重緊縮，畫廊紛紛推出低價聯展應對市場，有一次我在被要求提供三萬元以下的作品參展時，決定以觀念藝術應對，將一件十二萬元的作品切成四分之一與四分之三送出，分別訂價三萬元與九萬元，伴隨的文件也只印出四分之一與四分之三的面積，然後提議購買者若是要完整的觀念文件〈觀念的代價〉，就要再付六萬元購買，結果切割的作品都賣出去，但是完整的觀念文件卻乏人問津，這就是《當代藝術煉金術》〈首部曲：觀念的代價〉的由來。 不久，我再次受邀參加三萬元以下的作品聯展，這次我將一個一元硬幣切成一半，貼在畫布上，取名〈伍毛〉，定價五毛。結果作品又被賣出，依照展約，藝術家與畫廊將就出售作品定價五五分帳，結果畫廊拖欠不給我錢，他們說不是不給，是給不出兩毛五。我於是提議畫廊到統一超商買麵包，以精密的電子秤切出價值兩毛五的麵包屑給我來解決此紛爭。以上就是《當代藝術煉金術》的〈第二部曲：藝術所得〉。 在台灣，藝術雜誌的封面是可以花錢買的，我於是想用煉金術這群作品跟雜誌老闆交換藝術雜誌的封面，我寫了說帖及計畫書，提議交換封面、廣告與三篇的藝評，評論者分別是我正在或過去合作的策展人、藏家、評論家，最後雜誌老闆同意這個交易，這就是《當代藝術煉金術》的〈第三部曲：封面計畫〉。 Read more
