Arts in Motion- Taiwanese American Contemporary Art

Arts in Motion

Taiwanese American Contemporary Art

藝術共振

The curatorial concept is based on the fact that since the late twentieth century, artists have needed to be involved in the studio, in the community, in the media, and in academic circles.  At the same time, continual drastic transformations in economy, demographics, and communication have had a revolutionary effect upon the art world and added a layer of complexity to art. These manifold influences have liberated artists as well as imposed new constraints on them. Stimuli from different sources and the consequent effects on artists have made it more difficult to classify artists, who now frequently work in various media. Instantaneous communication and frequent movements of immigrant groups have paradoxically made art more local, since artists are driven to find ways to express their cultural identity in contravention of established native standards. Simultaneously, previously disdained art forms have found new favor and helped give birth to new media. These powerful trends are having a profound impact on the art community that shares common resources and complex ambitions. In this Arts in Motion program, there will be a cross-collaboration between visual artists Lin Shih Pao, MolMol Kuo and Nung Hsin Hu and YUNG-LI DANCE.  The program will contain new technology, a kinetic work, and an art work addressing recycling, and will be performed during the Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month both in ASA College and at Union Square North.

策劃理念

90後期起，當代藝術圈必需在社會、工作室、媒體還有學術理論之間往來，在得到某種更自由與多樣的選擇時，同時被鎖定在社會代碼世俗的社會秩序中，也讓藝術創作的形式與定義更為複雜；而移民在地球地域板塊的遊動也推動全球的藝術更具社區性，也逃開人類整體的議題，個別文化的凸顯在美國都會複雜的形勢中更顯得重要；在之前被忽視與批判的形式與媒材和表現，在相互爭辯中再整合，跨領域的融合也相對的躍上熱門話題，這個強大的趨勢隱隱的挑起少數族群強勢的主題，大家共同分享著一種共同的資源，也不斷受到急劇變革的經濟、人口、通訊，快速的技術變革與更新，藝術將是更暫時性而且有更難描述的特性，還加上某程度的世故而隱蔽的野心，使得現代人的跨區域生活圈有著全然不同的面貌。而虛擬空間的知識流動無形中增加了許多機會，也更為有挑戰性，使得大都會區的變換更如同一種共振的幻境。這一個”藝術共振“的活動，有跨界合作表演與多媒材組合的呈現，也多是藝術與觀者互動式的場域。林世寶，胡農欣，郭沛丰與舞者陳詠俐等旅居的紐約台灣藝術家將在今年美國亞裔傳統月內在曼哈頓中城與聯合廣場天空發聲。
