台美文藝協會（Taiwanese American Arts Council）與Voelker Orth Museum (沃克奧斯博物館)合作舉辦「行走在宇宙中：藝術家詮釋都會崇敬」（Walking in the Cosmos: Artists Interpreting Urban Reverence）展覽，該展覽將在皇后區法拉盛的Murray Hill的 Voelker Orth 博物館向公眾開放。本次展覽共有18位跨族群藝術家以不同形式的創作品展出, 開幕式安排有夏小筑（Hsiao-Chu Julia Hsia）的互動行爲表演，及小提琴家廖佩珳的音樂表演，曲目以自然爲主題，表演曲目有：「鳥類的到來」、「雲雀升騰」、「阿里山之歌」、「維瓦爾第：夏天」等。 

在這個萬聖及感恩節期間，我們邀請您參觀到 Voelker Orth 博物館(維多利亞花園和鳥類保護區)來欣賞特殊精彩的主題藝術創作，如台美藝術家郭明哲取社區房屋地形印製醋酸膠片垂掛，造成交錯的超越地平綫的鳥瞰視覺景觀，韓國藝術家Eun Young Choi(崔恩榮)有感於自身兒子的德韓移民家庭與Volker Orth Museum 位處韓國社區的作品交碰產生，她以貼紙刻畫自然植物裝飾在博物館的圖書室玻璃上，台美藝術家蕭喆旻的五件畫作幽默表達了在世紀大浩劫的的孤寂經驗，匈牙利裔藝術家Steven Balogh 的蜂鳥玩芭蕾舞鞋畫作，住上州Peeksill的Sarah Haviland是富爾布萊特學者曾到台灣進行創作研究，她一直以鳥類概念創作各式雕塑，此次展出4件作品，有“喜鵲橋”及另兩件鳥作品，另外展覽有5部錄像作品播放，包含潘宣羽的台灣布袋戲偶悠游紐約短片等等。更多精彩作品分列在在這個迷你博物館的各個房間中。

都會部落聚集的現象涉及人類的生存和生物之間平衡的維持，我們的對話轉向重視人性，保護多元文化，更新環境，尊重新的多面向的統一。宇宙運行的神話最近被城市的遷移迅速扭曲，在田園環境中，大自然簡單的晝夜圖像的流逝使我們環境的豐富神話受到尊重。藝術創作者能夠居間調解並具象讓文化有了新的聯繫。

Urban Reverence 是 Urban Tribes 的第二部分，不僅涉及特定的信仰或儀式，還延伸到人類與自然或環境之間的關係。而 Urban Reverence 則以土地和環境為主題，在生物、精神和文化上具有普遍的共鳴和影響。 策展人 Luchia Lee 說：「更廣泛地說，地球的健康和人類的生存需要我們的環境與各種生物之間的共存和維持平衡，以及我們社會中人際關係的改善。這個展覽對這種情況的緊迫性提出了多種藝術囘應」。

有関Voelker Orth 博物館：

1899 年，德國移民康拉德·沃克（ Conrad Voelkner） 在皇后區的 Murray Hill 買了一套房子。 他和他的妻子撫養了一個女兒特蕾莎，她嫁給了魯道夫·奧斯博士（Dr. Rudolph Orth）。康拉德·沃克去世後，這房子由特蕾莎、她的丈夫奧斯博士和他們的女兒伊麗莎白（1926-1995）居住。之後伊麗莎白離開了她的整個莊園，建立了 Voelker Orth 博物館（鳥類保護區和維多利亞花園）。 這座房子經過修復，於 2007 年成為紐約市地標，並於 2020 年被列入國家歷史遺址名錄，該花園獲得了長島苗圃和園藝師協會 2005 年的金獎。

Opening Speech | John Mack | A Species Between Worlds | NYC 2022

https://youtu.be/cAr9gf92QRg

John Mack mentioned in his Sep 16 lecture that he was amazed, inspired and travelled in 2016 to Taiwan to see a crowd chasing a Pokémon in a Taipei intersection.  While Pokémon is yesterday’s fad, Mack was most interested in the crowd behavior which he observed also at Michael Jackson concerts and Nazi rallies.

 

And dedication “to hope, to love, to our humanity” the closing lecture of A Species Between Worlds, NYC 2022

As a finale to the month-long Forum of some of the world’s brightest thought-leaders, John Mack wraps up A Species Between Worlds with his own vision on preserving our humanity in the Digital Age. Mack’s lecture, A Walk in the Park: Exploring the Truth of Our Nature, brings this NYC-happening full circle with deep insights into device-dependency, the metaverse, transcendence, and the analogous phenomenon of digital and psychological projection.Q&A to follow.

From Urban Reverence to Urban Divergence exhibition : venue 1- Pfizer

Rethinking culture and art history, the relationship between humans, land, and the myth of universe operation has been recently and swiftly transformed into a chaotic hymn or hysterical tone. In the passage of simple diurnal imagery, nature held rich mythologies of our environment to be reverenced. Divergence from a perceived golden age to a crisis age in society and politics has impacted genres in culture and art.

The centrifugal tendency in the transition from the rural village to the urban is the loss of cultural rituals and myths, the need to adapt to the new language and the loss of innocence. Art creators are able to mediate and textualize new connections to the threat to culture and most particularly its antecedents. 

The series of Urban Tribes projects started in 2018 to examine from an art perspective the phenomenon of migrants forming an international cross-cultural "urban tribe" – one of the genres at the turn of the 21st century. The discourse thus moves to valuing human nature, preserving multiple cultures, renewing the environment, and honoring the new multi-faceted unity. Potential political, economic, and cultural crises can be averted only by an emphasis on the diversity of life that promotes interactive relationships.

 Artists in this contemporary expression might inscribe the ambivalences and complexities of existential agon, of voice, of the affective root, or cultural difference. They might even suggest in critique or acknowledgement a mockery, a type of self-reflexive awareness.
