黃建樺，2003年畢業於台灣藝術大學雕塑學系，2003至2006年於國立台南藝術大學造形藝術所就讀時轉而趨向影像創作，試圖將對實體時間空間的存在獨有看法帶入當代科技影像。現於國立台南藝術大學藝術創作理論研究所攻讀博士學位，持續對人類存在於影像時代的身分定位做探討。

近年來參與國內外各項主要展出包括《2005高雄獎》於高雄市立美術館、《INDEPENDANT@RICE+》於東京(日本，2005)、《城市曼波》於雪梨Stone Villa(澳洲，2006)、《第二種視野》於國立台灣美術館(台中，2008)、《永恆的成人遊戲工廠》於關渡美術館(台北，2008)、《粉樂町當代藝術展》(台北富邦藝術基金會，2008)、《2009YOUNG ART TAIPEI–台北國際當代藝術博覽會》及《輕度》於國立台灣美術館數位藝術方舟(台中，2009)。並於2008年於日本岐阜文化中心舉辦個展《我不乖》。主要獲獎紀錄為2003年台北美術獎優選、2005年高雄美術獎首獎、2008年國家文化藝術基金會國際交流補助。作品並獲高雄市立美術館、國立台灣美術館等典藏。

面對當代，黃建樺提到「我們在一個越出的變形弔詭世界中游移，我們樂在其中，而且已經樂到失去辨別判準的能力。」近年來，他持續觀察類閾界現象於媒體時代，由符碼、語言戲局、表徵體系所產出的影像動勢，在這數位時代視野的切換與相對應的生存經驗中，如何以直接而親密的方式和世人的智慧建立了關聯，進而凝塑出帶有脫序趣味的人性寓言。

Huang Chien-Hua received his BFA in 2003 from National Taiwan University of Arts, Department of Sculpture, and MFA in 2006 from Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts at Tainan National University of the Arts.  During the time in Tainan, his work shifted towards image making.  Huang conveys his view on time and space with contemporary digital photography.  Currently he is a PhD candidate at the Tainan National University of the Arts, Department of Art Creation and Theory, continuing his investigation on the identity of human existence in an image driven age. His works are being exhibited internationally and are in the collection of Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.

In regard to contemporaneity, Huang Chien-Hua commented: “We are drifting in a paradoxical world. We find pleasure in it, but we lost our ability to discern.”  He has extensively observed the liminoid phenomena through signage, word play, and representation in the media era; with experiences existing in a digital age and shifting perspectives, Huang relates to the world’s wisdom in the most intimate and direct way, and tells a disorderly yet delightful parable of human nature.

展出系列作品：編 碼 者 Transcoder

群眾們彼此駐足觀看,於眼神交集的瞬間引起了對多方關係的好奇,也在人們心中留下期待的景象。人們對於世界的想望,使遊樂園成為一座啟幕的舞台。

樂園機制的運作猶如社會架構的縮影,眼前的場景映現著對世界樣貌的想像與夢想的追尋,事件的描述源自於社群媒體的演繹與人們解讀訊息的自由,並透過遊戲體現出日常生活的行為與集體效應,成為反映文化樣態的詼諧模型。對應於動物們所呈顯的是人們存在於社會機制的身分關係,行為中隱藏著多重意圖與曖昧隱喻,情緒上更著微妙的自溺、戲謔與不合時宜的角色認同,而人們的臆測則開啟了對象與體制的權力劇場,劇情的開展於此邁向了自我價值的辨證旅程。

攝像操控所帶出的意識滑動與和影像所召喚出意外情感,引導著人們透過擬像自體再造的視覺經驗與無可定論的集體行為,持續地編寫著故事,透過漫遊與映射瞬時變換內心意象,部署迷人閃動的星叢語體。這是多幕彼此疊映與場景交錯的當代寓言,之中隱含著關於社會形態、生存機制與角色身份的相互指涉。透過聚集與現身,光、迴旋、動物們似乎在預告著人們將進入一個社群文化重新編碼的時代。

Exhibited Series of work: Transcoder

People make a stop to look at one another. Their eye contact arouses their genuine curiosity about such multilateral relationships that go so far as to conjure up visions for the future. The visualization people have of this world has turned the amusement park into a stage behind a rising curtain.

The operation of this amusement park is little less than a microcosm of the society. The scenes unfold before us, showing people’s mental power to picture the world and their pursuit of dreams. The descriptions of multifarious events are based on the algorithms of social media and users’ interpretations of messages. They embody quotidian routines and collective effects by means of games, thereby serving as the models that parody our cultural modality. The animals in this amusement park express people’s social identities; and their actions brim with deliberate intentions and ambiguous metaphors. Besides, they take on self-indulgent, bantering and mistimed role identities, and the game of power between the referents and the system begins with the viewers’ speculations. The plot unfolds thereafter as a dialectical voyage of defining self-value.

The consciousness-altering photo manipulation and the sentiment-arousing images shepherd the viewers to continuously write stories by means of autopoetic visual experiences and inconclusive collective actions, and to develop a fascinating, starry constellation of styles by conjuring up sudden visions through rambling and mapping. This is a contemporary allegory in which acts overlap and scenes intersect with one another. It contains mutual references among social structures, survival mechanisms and role identities. By virtue of rendezvous and appearance, the light, the carousel and the animals lingering in the amusement park seem to portend an era of re-coded social media culture.

Le Rivoli Building – 118 Rue de Rivoli,75001, PARIS

Opening: October 31, 12pm (Invited Guests Only)

V&E ART Stand: N1

Seven YCH，台灣藝術家，同時也是獲獎作家和策展人。從90年代上大學起就開始練習現代藝術攝影。於2002年畢業於北京電影學院電影導演專業，獲碩士學位。目前攝影作品已經常於國際上展出，並被多間私人企業及全世界的藏家收藏。

Seven YCH, Taiwanese Artist, literature-award-wining poet/writer, and the curator. He started to practice his modern art photography while he was at the university in the ’90s. He graduated with M.A. in film-directing from Beijing Film Academy in 2002. His photography has been exhibited internationally and has been collected by private corp. and collectors all over the world.

Seven YCH 喜歡探索事物的矛盾之處。他擁抱寒冷中的溫暖，接受混亂中的偶然，從微觀通往宏觀，從確定性中喚起抽象性。他認為唯一能夠實現空虛的是詩意感。近年來，他潛心研究混合內在與外在景觀的新領域，描繪心理狀態的現實，並提出了有趣的無邊際的故事的獨特圖像。

YCH is interested in exploring the contrariety of the objects. He likes to embrace the warmth in the coldness and to accept the serendipity amidst the chaos, to evoke the immensity from the insignificance as well as the abstract from the certainty. He believes the only thing that can fulfill the emptiness is the poetic sentiment. In late years, he dives into a new territory of mixing inner and outer landscapes, depicting the realities of mental state, and comes out with intriguing unique images of spacious stories.

此次展出的系列作品，藝術家持續進行對於「質地」的思考。而在人類腦袋裡迂迴飛轉並脫俗超凡的，是名為想像力的透明「質地」，深深吸引著他。運用想像，可以讓水成為鏡子再成為自我的虛像；想像可以是從前是現在也是以後；想像墊高了科學、藝術、以及文明的維度；想像是隱喻的也是象徵的；想像是藝術家欣然接受並戴上的一頂王冕，而這頂神聖的王冕，讓宇宙中任何人，皆有能力往來俗世和宇宙時空之間，不費微力。人，生為一種俗世裡的「物質」，卻被給予了超越俗世位階的權柄，詩意因此存在。

From the exhibited series of works, YCH continues the exploration of “Texture”. He is trying to see through the “Substance” in mankind with the collage images and the poetic shadows. In his images, referring the imagination as the “Texture", lead the viewers to fly effortlessly into a transparent spacious land. From the artist’s point of view, the ability of mankind to imagine can be considered as a marvelous gift that allows us to travel through time and space, from a momento to eternity, from the beginning till the end.

基於自身對建築空間的熱愛，王艾斯一直不斷嘗試空間攝影創作，在2016年開始發想執行的「X-Y建築立面」系列作品，以Ｘ-Y 建築立面的概念,顛覆對於建築攝影的觀念。

「當面對由垂直及水平所構成的建築立面時，隨著觀賞角度不同，景觀將呈現不同程度變化。我想探索在複雜的當代建築群中，景觀變化的可能性能夠有多少種。」

Based on his passion for architectural space, Wang has been experimenting to explore space through photography. Starting from 2016, he began to implement the “XY Building Facade" series, trying to subvert the concept of how people think of the architecture photos by his “X-Y Building Facades” series.

“When people face the facade constructed in the vertical and horizontal line, the architecture will show various changes with different viewing angles. I long to explore how many varieties of landscape view can be changed of those complex contemporary buildings."

王艾斯想找到有別於一般觀看建築的方式，他嘗試透過攝影角度呈現更多建築的面貌，他通常會嘗試兩到四種不同拍攝角度，藉此探索當代建築的多變性與可能性。目前，他聚焦於台灣大型當代特色建築，包含故宮南院、十三行博物館與中台灣創新園區等，均是他拍攝的主角，此次展出的作品即為台灣苗栗客家文化園區的三種面向。未來，他也將繼續以他獨特的視角去發掘更多國內外特色建築的可能性。

Wang longs to find a way to distinguish it from the general view of architecture. He tries to present more architectural features through his photography. The Artist usually tries two or four different shooting angles to explore the variability and possibility of contemporary architecture. He is now focusing on Taiwan’s large-scale contemporary architecture, including the National Palace Museum and National Operas. The exhibited works here are the three points of view of the Hakka Cultural Park in Miaoli,Taiwan.

郭彥甫：「旅行從A點到B點的觀念有一股穿梭在時間與空間當中的意念，行李箱打開呈現的是當事人所有的秘密與所有最親密又分不開的關係，在時空中反射出人性面…」

“The concept of traveling from point A to point B contains a idea of moving through time and space. The unpacking of the suitcase presents all the secrets, all the most intimate and inseparable relationships, reflecting humanity in time and space…" – Yen Fu KUO

現為藝術家、創意表演家與演員，出生於台灣。曾以歌唱團體出道，作品跨足音樂、主持、戲劇、時尚模特兒等各領域，在各領域轉換角色的過程中，藝術家嘗試提升感官敏感度，去深入感受人類行為及其心理狀態，再融入自己獨特創作語彙以作品呈現所感受的世界。對郭彥甫而言，藝術是繁忙世界裡最寧靜平和之處，允許作品與自己深度對話的機會，逐步成熟其創作理念並建立起充滿個性的藝術標誌。作品多次於國際展出，2018年受邀在法國羅浮宮卡爾塞廳展覽，2019年於威尼斯雙年展、 釜山藝術博覽會、臺北當代藝術館展出，2020將在上海舉辦個展。

Painter, creative performer and actor, born in Taiwan, has been a pop singer, a model and a TV show host. However, he changed his career in the entertainment industry and chose to work in the art field, to develop a passion he has had since childhood. In the process of changing roles in various fields, the artist tries to enhance the sensitivity, to deeply understand human behavior and its psychological state, and to integrate into its unique artistic approach to present the modern world. For Kuo, art retain the peaceful corner in the chaotic world, and offering the opportunity to make the deep dialogue with his works. He has been invited to exhibit worldwide. In 2018, he has been invited to exhibit in the Salles du Carrousel of the Louvre in Paris, 021 Shanghai Art FairArt, and in 2019 Venice Biennale and Art Busan.

“我曾經做過的所有重要事情都可以放進一個小行李箱裡。”當馬塞爾·杜尚（Marcel Duchamp）在1952年說出這句話時，在某種程度上指的是他的行李箱藝術傑作《 行李箱里的盒子》（Boîte-en-valise），另一部分則是指行李箱如何在一個矩形單元空間中容納我們的整個生活。一直以來，行李箱對於所有流派的藝術家都帶來相當的啟發性，部分原因是它們的實用性，但主要歸功於其強大而多功能的象徵效果。行李箱經常象徵旅行，無論是作為一種休閒還是一種必需品。一方面，行李箱藝術品的存在，它們代表著其所有者的享樂主義，或是游牧式的生活方式，例如布魯斯·康納（Bruce Conner）和馬塞爾·德扎瑪（Marcel Dzama）的作品；另一方面，行李箱內容物品也揭示了其所有者的親密關係和無意識的自我身份認同，提供觀者另一個角度觀察人類關係曖昧不明的邊界。最終，這些可移動的物件開始具有自己的微觀宇宙，其中包含了過去或即將到來的未來。

“Everything important I have ever done can be put into a little suitcase” when Marcel Duchamp said in 1952, he was partly referring to his suitcase art masterpiece – Boîte-en-valise (Box in a Valise) and partly to the inherent ability of how suitcase contains our entire lives in a unit rectangular space. Throughout the ages, suitcases proved inspiring for artists of all genres and sensibilities partly due to their availability, but mostly due to their powerful and versatile symbolic effect. 

Suitcases often symbolize travel whether as an act of pleasure or as a necessity. On one side we have suitcase art pieces that represent hedonistic, nomadic lifestyles of its owners, like those made by Bruce Conner and Marcel Dzama, on the other, the packed items of the owner also reveal the intimacy and the unconscious self-identity which brought up the blur boundaries of human relationship from another perspective. Finally, these transportable objects can host a microcosm of their own composed of items that evoke either time past or the upcoming future.

自2015年起，藝術家專注於描繪各式各樣的行李箱，從此一系列作品中可以發現郭彥甫透過詼諧並保留想像空間的藝術手法將行李箱內的微觀世界重新解構，進而揭露出人性的另一種樣貌，向當代社會提出「何謂真實」的詰問，更進一步打破一般對人類心理狀態描述的絕對定律。本次展出的全新作品《 運動女孩》與《 鋼鐵父親》一方面邀請觀者透過打破和重建的方式與行李箱擁有者進行對話，一方面從微觀宇宙中的時空中重譯我們處在的宏觀世界。

郭彥甫從人性的窺探之中，重新定義對於藝術的解讀：「每個人需要的僅是從生命中找尋能夠好好活著的理由，因為人生而存在必有其因，而藝術創作之於我，就是生命力與故事性的源頭。」

Since 2015, the artist has focused on depicting a wide variety of suitcases. From the symbolic effects of a series of works, Kuo reveals another kind of reality of the humanity by re-deconstructing the microcosm in the suitcase through humorous and imaginative approach, thus put forward the question of “what is the reality?” to the contemporary society, and finally breaks the absolute rule of the description of the general human psychological state. The new works “Sports Girl" and “Iron Father" on the one hand invite viewers to dialogue with the owner of the suitcase through breaking and rebuilding process, on the other hand, re-interpreting our presence in the Macro-world from the time and space in the microcosm.

While observing the humanity through his artistic approach, Kuo redefines the interpretation of Art: “Everyone needs only to find the reason for living well from life, because there always is a reason to be existing, so does the Art creation is meaning to me which represents the source of vitality and story."
