[分享] 英國里茲Leeds的亨利摩爾研究所(Henry Moore Institute)

亨利摩爾是英國有名的抽象雕塑家
亨利摩爾研究所是亨利摩爾基金會的一部分
裡面有展覽與圖書館
最近在展出兩個展覽
http://www.henry-moore.org/hmi/exhibitions/undone
Undone是展出不同的藝術家利用日常生活的物品，如書本、毛線或者是瓶蓋
藉由編織與塑形
創造出雕塑結構
探索雕塑的本質與打破雕刻是高成本的藝術創作
很有意思的展覽
很多作品雖然都是用質量很輕的物品
但是創造如大理石雕塑品般的厚重質感

吳哥窟的經文拓印
這個展覽很特別
因為所展出的拓印是有類似浮雕的浮現感
所以這些經文同時是平面以及立體的
所以也被視為是雕塑

這兩個展覽可以看出雕塑的各種可能性
而且是在著名雕刻家為名的場所內展出
顯現了他們的開放態度
讓藝術能朝各個方向發展
也因此產生了許多有名的藝術家

Turner prize 2010

http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/turnerprize2010/artists/philipsz.shtm
每年得主揭曉之後 ，好像都會有人質疑得主是否值得得到這個獎。不過很喜歡這個藝術
家得獎的理由"The judges said her work, Lowlands, "provokes both intellectual
and instinctive responses and reflects a series of decisions about the
relationship between sound and sight", providing "powerful sculptural
experiences."

很多選擇是無法解釋的，因為不是屬於思考面而是直覺面

new work

fireant.itaiwan.net/arttext.php
因為之前的路開始遇到撞牆期
所以要先試著跳脫原本的方向
所以我把之前自己做的留言板的內容
以及無線網路的顏色作亂數混搭
可能沒有甚麼意義
只是做做看
或許可以看到新的光

ICA and Courtauld Gallery

ICA的Bloomberg New Contemporaies 2010
http://www.ica.org.uk/microsite/bnc2010/

這個展展出包含繪畫、裝置、雕刻以及影片等多種形式的作品
總共有四十九個藝術家參與展出
因為題材跟內容差異都很大
所以其展出的主題是在呈現當代藝術的目前的發展樣貌
個人印象比較深刻的是有一個動畫作品呈現不同的自殺方式
線條簡單，只有黑與白，可是感覺非常震撼
另外一個作品是壞掉的電視螢幕，這個作者的另一個作品是壞掉的木板畫
藉由"損壞"呈現了媒材與內容之間的關係
還有用日本古代神話故事來講述愛麗絲夢遊仙境
作品都很有趣，很值得多去幾次參觀

The Courtauld Gallery的CÉZANNE'S CARD PLAYERS
http://www.courtauld.ac.uk/gallery/vodcasts/2010/cezanne/intro.shtml
展出塞尚的玩牌人的不同版本
可以看見其花了很多心血在構築這一個作品
這是塞尚第一個被羅浮宮收藏的作品
也與後來後的立體派畫家息息相關
站在畫前
的確可以感受到其利用筆觸所創造出來的動態感
也很值得去參觀

the concept of my artwork

Different types of artworks and artists.

1. art is for aesthetics



2. art leading research: thinking how to develop technology to create art



3. research helps art: thinking how to apply existing technology to art.



2 and 3 are different on the developers but the result is similar.



4. art for claim:claim what is art; Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol redefined the art.




5. art for study: For example, Impressionism studied light with their paintings.

6. Art for politics and social movement.



7. art=research: Art is the research. There are two conversion. The first is to build the connection between art and the subject and the second is the relation between artwork and the subject. After the conversion, we need a conclusion to contain the two conversion. The conclusion should be an artwork. In other words, the final artworks is composed of individual artworks; but the final work is not merely the sum of the individual artworks. The final artwork has its unique traits. Every "individual work" is the final work but they are not equivalent. I created different cities' landscape images and every image is urban landscape image but they do not equal to the final artwork. The final artwork should be conceptual and intangible.



I used the street routes and house to link Wi-Fi access points to houses. House and Routes should be the main keys in the final artworks.





Stanza's "Emergent City" (http://www.stanza.co.uk/emergentcity/?page_id=6) think "can we consider data (CCTV, traffic, weather, people movement) as a medium for artistic practice?" and applied visual or acoustic ways of representing the data. My project seems similar to his but we have a clear boundary.

(1)He focused the representation of cities but I aimed to explore the relationship behind and in the objects.

(2)He concerns with the data but I emphasize the concept.

(3)He applied the advance technology to create art; I created art to explore the the effect of technology on our society.

我的創作概念

art->aesthetics
art->research: 利用藝術來思考科技的應用
research->art: 思考科技如何應用於藝術
上面二者基本是思考者不同，但內容是相似的
art->claim:利用藝術宣稱或者描述某件事或概念
art->study:如印象派利用繪畫來研究光，藝術家是在其本身為藝術家的基礎上，去思考繪畫本身
art=research:利用藝術做研究，這邊基本上是有兩層轉換，第一個是藝術與被研究者關係的建立，第二個是產出的作品與研究主題之間的關係，轉換完之後需要一個結論統整，結論本身應該是一個作品，也就是作品是由多構成一，但是一本身又具有所有的多所加起來仍不等於一的特質，如媽祖分身，媽祖本身的概念不變，所有媽祖分身都是媽祖，但媽祖不等同於所有分身的合體，媽祖本身有其獨特性。
