台北當代藝術館 2015 年的開春首展，推出《雙城記》：【浮城過影—陸先銘】與【萬園

A Tale of Two Cities is the first exhibition presented at MOCA, Taipei for the spring season of 2015, and it’s a two-part exhibition consisting of Lu Hsien-ming Exhibition: Glimpses of Cities. and Kuo Wei-kuo Exhibition: Gardens of Spirits The format of the exhibition, which focuses on dialogues and contrasts, stands out amongst the different exhibitions presented at the museum since its opening in 2006. Two “middle generation” Taiwanese artists are invited to present their art at exhibition areas on the 1st and 2nd floors of MOCA, Taipei or to create new artworks specific for the space, with their endeavors presented and juxtaposed at the same time to showcase their unique creative developmental contexts. Curated by Chinese art critic Cui Can-can, the title of the exhibition borrows from 19th century English author Charles Dickens’ literary masterpiece of the same title, with the exhibition showcasing exceptional and prolific artworks by Lu Hsien-ming and Kuo Wei-kuo, while also comparing drastically different creative philosophies and artistic directions opted by the two artists of the same generation and who are also good friends. The objective is to reflect the different ways that contemporary art interacts with history, society, and life in general.

有靈—郭維國】雙個展。本展屬於當代館 2006 年以來，一個強調「對話與對照」的特殊 展覽項目，此次邀請兩位臺灣中生代藝術家分別就當代館一、二樓展場空間規劃展覽或創 製新作，同時呈現、對應各自的創作發展脈絡。展覽由大陸藝評人崔燦燦擔綱策劃，展名 引用 19 世紀英國小說家狄更斯的名作《雙城記》，展出內容除了鋪陳陸先銘和郭維國各 自豐富精采的藝術作品，也有意對照兩位藝術家身為同代人和至交好友，卻有截然不同的 創作思維和藝術取向，從中映照當代藝術與歷史、社會、人生的不同互動模式。 在這個號稱「最好同時也是最壞的時代」中，兩位藝術家各自以繪畫語言和裝置手法書寫 了生活當下所面對的現實以及存在的可能。策展人崔燦燦的策劃與論述，從全球語境下華 人藝術脈絡的縱橫切剖，探討這兩位臺灣藝術家的獨特性格，以及他們和臺灣社會時代的 不同對話模式，從而勾勒出藝術與社會息息呼應、時時鏡照的多重互動關係。 陸先銘的作品涉及兩個重要的歷史背景，一方面是從上世紀 80 年代以來，臺北的城市現 代 化 進 程 的 快 速 發 展， 所 帶 來 的 種 種 社 會 變 遷 和 現 實 問 題； 另 一 方 面， 植 根 於 上 世 紀 80 年代的臺灣地區對現代主義變革的自覺意識，對於形式主義和綜合材料、表達手法的不斷 探 索 與 實 驗 。這 兩 點 構 成 了 其 作 品 的 主 要 線 索 ，互 為 表 裡 ，而 又 相 互 啟 示 。無 論 是《 路 橋 》 系列，還是《城市居民》系列，陸先銘以見證和批判的雙重角色，通過藝術的語言寫照和 呈現城市景觀與內在人文的變遷。 相對於陸先銘創作的城市書寫導向，郭維國的作品一路從社會文化的觀照省思，轉向自我 心 性 的 探 索 與 自 我 形 象 的 臆 造 ，乃 至 於 自 然 題 材 的 應 用 和 傳 統 畫 境 的 轉 化 。在 他 的 作 品 中 ， 歷史與現實的課題被巧妙地融入微觀的思考與個人的角色想像中，既有的價值信仰、社會 框架和政治邏輯…，全然被神秘的夢相或想像所權充與替代，由是為觀者提供了一個更開 放、多元、自由的觀世方式。 本次展出，陸先銘與郭維國兩人除了展出他們最代表性的架上繪畫作品，也針對當代館的 空 間 場 域 製 作 了 一 批 雕 塑 作 品 和 據 地 裝 置 ，這 些 新 作 ，一 方 面 印 證 了 他 們 跨 界 創 作 的 實 力 ， 另一方面對於串聯個人藝業發展脈絡和核心旨趣，也有相當的作用。 本檔展覽的籌辦、實際展出和社會回應，相當的成功和圓滿順利，對此，首先要歸功於兩 位藝術家提供的精采作品，以及備極辛勞的展前工作和展場投入；其次，要感謝策展人崔 燦燦對展出內容的用心規劃和創意安排，以及本館同仁的努力執行，還有眾多志工、工讀 生的參與服務，而本展的空間和氛圍呈現能有重大改變，則要感謝大未來林舍畫廊的特別 贊 助。 最 後 要 再 次 感 謝 EPSON 臺 灣 愛 普 生、 文 心 建 設、 臺 灣 Samsung 三 星 電 子 等 民 間 企業對本館的長期支援，由於眾人的熱心奉獻和支持，讓當代館以有限的空間、資源與人 力，再次完成了一個富有美感創意和社會口碑的展覽 !

雙城記－浮城過影／陸先銘個展

A Tale of Two Cities - Lu Hsien-ming Exhibition: Glimpses of Cities

In a time referred to as “the best of times and the worst of times”, with their own unique approach to painting and installation, the two artists have proceeded to express possibilities pertaining to the reality at hand and also to one’s existence. The curating and the discourse presented by Cui Can-can are executed through vertical and horizontal dissections of the context of Chinese art under a global setting, exploring the unique qualities embodied by these two Taiwanese artists and also the distinctive ways they engage in dialogues with the Taiwanese society, resulting in multifariously interactive relationships of intricate exchanges and constant reflections between art and society.

Two important historical backgrounds are dealt with in Lu Hsien-ming’s art, with one encompassing Taipei’s rapid urban modernization since the 80s and the various social shifts and realistic issues the phenomenon has evoked. On the other hand, constant explorations and experimentations with formalism, mixed media, and methods of expression are also dealt with while bearing in mind Taiwan’s self-awareness towards the reforms propelled by modernism that began in the 80s. Critical clues to the art by these two artists are formed based on these two factors – they are complementary to each other but also reciprocally enlightening. Lu plays a duo role of witness and critic in both of his Road Bridge series and Urban Dweller series, using the language of art to depict and present shifts and changes with urban landscapes and the humanity within.

Compared with Lu’s urban direction, Kuo’s art has transitioned from social and cultural observations and reflections to explorations of the internal self and fabrications of his own personal image, while also showcasing transformations with applications with subject matters relating to nature and traditional painting compositions. Intricate thoughts and imaginative role-playing are ingeniously incorporated with issues related to history and reality in Kuo’s art, with existing values, faith, social doctrines, political logics, and other agendas usurped and replaced by the artist’s enigmatic dreamscapes or imaginations. Viewers are, thereby, provided with a more open, diverse, and liberating way to see the world.

In addition to presenting iconic paintings by the two artists, site-specific sculptures and installations are also created for the space at MOCA, Taipei. These new artworks demonstrate the artists’ cross-disciplinary capabilities, with an active synergy also created connecting the artists’ individual contextual development and core interest in art.

The planning, exhibition, and feedbacks from society-at-large have proven the exhibition to be quite successful and well received, and first and foremost, the exceptional artworks provided by the two artists and their dedication prior and during the exhibition are the reason for the success. Curator Cui Can-can’s meticulous planning and creative curating are also greatly appreciated, and a big thank-you also goes out to MOCA, Taipei’s hardworking staff, volunteers and part-time workers. We also want to thank Lin & Lin Gallery for its special sponsorship, which made the dramatic changes with the exhibition’s space and ambiance possible.

Lastly, long-term support from private corporations including Epson Taiwan, Win Sing Development, Samsung Taiwan are always tremendously appreciated. Because of the devotion and encouragement from everyone, despite our limited space, material and human resources, MOCA, Taipei is able to once again present a creative and well-received exhibition!

雙城記－陸先銘、郭維國雙個展 策展人 崔燦燦

「這是最好的時代，這是最壞的時代；這是智慧的年代，這是愚蠢的年代；這是信仰的時期， 這是懷疑的時期；這是光明的季節，這是黑暗的季節；這是希望之春，這是絕望之冬；我們擁 有一切，我們一無所有；我們正走向天堂，我們都在奔向與其相反的地方…」 ─ 查 理 斯•狄 更 斯《 雙 城 記 》

to display to the audience the actual, existing realities, which people are unable to face directly simply because they are embarrassed to.

The making of a great era requires the silent dedication of unnumbered individuals. In Lu’s work, those city dwellers, or urban vagrants, were modern cities’ givers, participants and recipients of benefits on the one hand, while on the other, they have suffered from all the anxieties, chaos and losses brought about by the changes. The speed of modern times is faster in a way that it compresses people’s time.

While feeling helpless in coping with so many things, people have been experiencing drastic changes as time is compressed for better efficiency, and as individuals are treated like instruments for the greater good. In fact, Lu’s work has been looking into this dual contradiction. What is the future of this pattern of development in such a fast pace? What meanings does it bear for the people that live in this city? In what way does it sustain and continue our history and civilization? Finally, who is there to mend the breaks that, more than often, take place in the sustainment and continuation?

When the audience step into the scenes of Lu’s works, the sky in the images seem to be embedded with a sense of time or a kind of fluidity in histor y, and is constantly moving; nonetheless, the towering, fixed road bridges and modern architecture are like permanent monuments. In such dramatic scenes, the urban vagrants or elders are actually experiencing these changes. They look u n s u re o f w h a t t o d o o r w h e re t o s e t t l e , a n d m ove a ro u n d i n t h e c i t y, l o n e l y ye t re m a i n i n g .

These unknown people have grasped the attention of Lu Hsien-ming as they symbolize a unique community in this city, a group of marginalized people and loners in an active time brimming with ambitions. One of Lu’s installations in this exhibition is a group of “growing” pillars that have been affixed with various materials. They have stood tall in different corners in the city as people tried to climb up to their goals in the massive waves of histor y. Some of them have l e f t h e ro i c m e m o r i e s i n o u r m i n d s w h i l e o t h e r s re m a i n e d s t i l l a n d u n k n ow n . Be i t t h e r i s i n g of modernization, the monuments of the city, or the numberless individuals, in such an era of fast-paced development, it forcefully swirls up, with all its might, countless people’s hope and disappointment, and moves towards the unknown afar.

Lu has employed some materials that are characteristic to modern cities, such as stainless steel, neon light and steel plates; and these materials actually hint at the duality of culture. In terms of the visual system and material, the reflective quality and smooth surface of the stainless steel create an intense contrast against the paint. The bright electronic neon light also goes against the dull, repressive tone of colors in the works. Steel plates used to construct the artwork bases and the frames of the works are heavy and cold, implicitly imposing upon the characters in the image. In terms of cultural discourse, however, these objects represent the achievements and major breakthroughs of modern technology, symbolizing the persistence and innovation of the modern spirit, and are markers of the durability and permanence of a city. With these paradoxical relationships, Lu’s dramatic approach imbues the works with a certain efficacy in terms of its spatial presentation. Through means of visualization, Lu is able 14

However, in the corner of this city, we can see on the bodies of those lively and real individuals that the contradictions and absurdities of any era would eventually be shouldered by individuals. Its influence to every individual living in this era is realistic, profound, and powerful.

和矛盾之中，它是現代版本的社會寓言。這種寓言所指向的是個體的慾望與時代的焦灼， 它像一顆變異的細菌，不斷的侵襲著一個原本美好的童話，而這些童話所象徵的美好正在 逐漸消失，走向一個充滿荒誕性的人間喜劇。在這個意義上，郭維國更像是一個歷史典故 或是童話世界的改編者，它將現實和經典進行嫁接，以童話之名，再現了一場怪異而又荒 誕的萬物狂歡。郭維國用藝術家特有的視覺方式，創造了一個不斷變化更新的現實圖志。 在這個圖志中，沒有無根之木，每一個特殊的物象都有它所從屬的現實系統。這個現實系 統集合了這個時代中的種種歡娛與不幸，它像是個體在撞擊這個無形的世界之時，所遺留 的印痕，這個印痕夾雜著流淌的液體和帶有傷疤的身軀，移花接木，衍生出郭維國所想像 的一個奇異新世界。 郭維國的作品具有一種特殊的宗教感，這種宗教感像是某種神秘的儀式，它既是現代社 會對個體的儀式化閹割，一種成人禮式的制度壓迫；也是個人在現實遭遇之外殘存的幻 想與浪漫，在童話之中保留的一絲溫存，它指向一種擺脫現實束縛的形而上學追求：在 這個時代，日趨同質、平庸、單一的生活之中，如何尋找生活之外的想像力與可能性。 實質上，郭維國的作品試圖通過對現實的象徵，對寓言的再寓言，尋找那些看似殘酷背 後的生活詩學。 在展廳之中，郭維國設計了一個類似於教堂一樣的白色通道，在這個通道的間歇處，我們 可以進入藝術家所創造的奇異的想像世界，尋找現實的殘存和幻想的依據。而在通道的盡 頭，郭維國又重新將我們引回一個個體的世界，一個巨大的肖像，一顆象徵著鮮活的生命 的心臟。我們從這裡開始思考，也從這裡開始結束，它是幻想的起源之地，慾望的滋生之 床，也是所有幻想破滅的伏筆。本質上，在這條尋找靈光的路上，人們匆匆而過，驚鴻一 瞥，每個人的一生都是一個童話，一個開始追逐自我和不斷想像自我的歷程。在這個歷程 之中，精靈相伴，穿園而行。 郭維國作品中的每一個精靈都有一個獨立之園，而在這些園與園的交匯之處，總有一些精 靈在時光中穿行，它們都擁有兩個身份，美好的想像與存在的荒誕，同在雙城之間。

artist? Here, at this moment, each individual became a city. “As you stand on the bridge to see the view, people that are watching the view upstairs are also looking at you. As the moon outside your window becomes a decoration to you, you have become a decoration to another person’s dream.”

Kuo Wei -ku o: G ard ens of S pir its In each city, there exist stories that are flickering with spirits and embedded with history with hidden, winding paths. A city is an encyclopedia about time, memories, individuals, and the spans of life. It has recorded those wonderful happenings and numerous fantasies excluded by the reality, and all the sorrow, joy, partings and reunions, as well as the love, hatred, passion and enmity. Every person has a story, which is itself a world; each individual also imperceptibly becomes a character in the real world, lingering in a sonata that no one can predict its next note. A thousand people form a thousand musical chapters as well as a thousand urban biographies.

In many of Kuo’s works, one can often see some “spirits” that do not exist in reality. They seem to originate from historical allusions, mythological literature, or certain corners of the real world. These “little monsters” appear in disparate forms and looks in the images; they are like metaphors to the reality on the one hand, and seem to embody some peculiar worlds in the artist’s mind on the other.

Kuo’s works are injected with superb imagination as if there existed a unique world in his mind that no one has ever stepped into. The works could be seen as the beginnings as well as the end of some stories. In the long process of histor y, Kuo uses his brushes to weave a garden of the universe, in which humans and animals co-exist.

Howe ve r, t h e s e s e e m i n g l y j oy f u l w o r l d s o f f a i r y t a l e s a re n o t a c t u a l l y w o n d e r f u l ; t h e y s e e m t o imply a certain cruelty and helplessness of the reality. One could also say that these non-existent “spirits” come from the intersection of the reality and the histor y as well as the difficulties and contradictions of this era. In short, it is a social allegory of a modern version. This allegory signifies the desires of individuals and the anxieties of this time. Like a mutating germ, it is perpetually attacking an originally beautiful fairy tale, gradually eating away the wonderfulness represented by the fairy tale and introducing a mundane comedy filled with absurdities. From this perspective, Kuo is more like someone that adapts and revises the historical allusions or fairy tales, as he grafts the realistic onto the classic, and represents a bizarre and absurd revelry of all beings under the pretense of fair y tales. Utilizing a unique visual means to artists, Kuo has created a continuously renewing iconography of the reality, in which everything belongs in this frame of reference and every special object and form have their equivalents in the reality. In this system of the reality, one finds all the joy and misfortune specific to this era. It is like an imprint created when each individual clashes with this invisible world; and with oozing fluid and a body full of scars, this imprint is grafted to create a peculiar, fresh world imagined by the artist.

Kuo’s work carries a distinctive sense of religion, which reminds the audience of a certain mysterious ritual, which resembles simultaneously a ritualistic castration of individuals done by modern society, and a systematic oppression evocative of the coming-of-age ceremony. At the same time, it also represents individuals’ residual fantasies and romantic feelings that do not exist in the realm of reality; it is a shred of gentle warmth kept within the realm of fair y tales. It points to a kind of metaphorical pursuit that aims to escape the shackles of reality: in this era, as people’s lives are becoming more and more homogenous, mediocre, and single-sided, how could we search for the imagination and potentiality outside of life? Substantially, through the symbolization of the reality and the allegoricalization of allegories in his works, Kuo attempts to find out the poetics of living underneath the seemingly cruel appearances.

In this solo exhibition, Kuo has designed a white tunnel reminiscent of a church, and in between the beginning and end of the tunnel, the audience could enter the fantastic world of imagination created by the artist and find the residues of the reality as well as the references of his fantasies. At the end of the tunnel, once again, Kuo guided the audience back to a world of individuals, where there were a gigantic portrait and a heart that symbolized the vibrant life. Our thinking started as well as ended here.

It was where the fantasy originated, where the desires bred, and where that foreshadowed the eventual disillusionment. In essence, on this path to search for the spirits, people’s journeys are as short as a glimpse; and everyone’s life is a fairy tale, a beginning in pursuing the self, and a constant process of imagining the self. In the process, we are accompanied by the spirits as we journey through the gardens.

In Ku o’s w o r k , e a c h s p i r i t h a s a n i n d i v i d u a l g a rd e n , a n d a t t h e i n t e r s e c t i o n o f t h e s e g a rd e n s , there are always some spirits travelling among them. They possess dual identities, the wonderful imagination and the absurdity of existence, and are always in between the two cities.

藝術家的生活

系所進行高等知識教育的場所，大學以及研究所中所含括的學門其實並不是被設計來滿足一 個社會運行所需的種種人才培育，而是針對特定學問或技術來進行專業的知識與技術訓練。

有 更 多 畫 廊 空 間 、展 覽 舞 台 等 大 概 是 陸 先 銘 比 較 現 在 與 年 輕 時 期 最 大 的 差 異 。『 我 覺 得 差 別 在 ，

若從今日大學林立、專職技術學院轉型等現況來觀察，也許可以發現，在今日臺灣社會中，

我們年輕比較辛苦是第一個舞台少，第二個資源有限。那個時候還是得過獎，才有畫廊願意跟

大學文憑已然成為社會新鮮人的基本配備，但進入這些科系，是否就代表未來將往此領域發

我合作。那現在學生不太一樣，第一個舞台多，不只是美術館，就大畫廊都從學校就開始找，

展，藝術相關科系亦然。高雄師大美術系的教授蔡佩桂在去年便以此為題策劃了一個藝術計

然後替代空間也很多。』 還在學的時候，美術館還沒有成立，較學術的展出空間只有美國新聞

劃《藝術家的養成之道》，從高師大美術系歷史以及現況去討論大學美術系作為一個專門領

處。畢業後入伍當兵，在這期間臺北市立美術館成立，對於他們而言退伍立刻有一個合適的舞

域的系所能夠如何培養藝術家、或藝術專業人材的種種面向。再者，從另一個角度看，社會

台，是最讓人開心的事。由於當時文化大學的風氣、態度、風格甚至尺幅都適合美術館的空間

中許多必須且重要的專業、原本就被劃分在學術領域門外的種種行業，因為這個學士、碩士

和 走 向 ，無 論 是 參 加 比 賽 、美 術 館 的 主 題 展 邀 約 、或 是 當 時 大 夥 兒 一 起 成 立 的 畫 派 去 做 申 請 展 ，

滿街跑的現象而陷入了人才荒，從展覽製作時會配合的產業現況如製作展覽時合作的運輸、

能夠躬逢其盛那個被稱為美術館時代的風光年代，應該是陸先銘一段美好的記憶。

木工、油漆、電工、媒體技術人員等等，就可得知一二。在美術系中學習的人們，是不是都 要成為藝術家，或者有沒有其他細分領域專業的可能？

畢業後第一次個展，陸先銘其實用了許多裝置的手法，但一次展覽就把儲蓄都花光後，他發現 繪 畫 是 他 唯 一 支 付 得 起 的 創 作 媒 材。 也 可 從 此 去 認 識 何 以 他 早 期 專 注 於 繪 畫， 到 後 期 開 始 加 入

儘管提問中帶著這樣的焦慮，當我問陸先銘會不會認為現在大學美術科系太多時，他以一貫正

其 他 媒 材 ，甚 至 在 雙 城 記 展 覽 中 做 出 大 型 立 體 雕 塑 裝 置 。也 原 來 藝 術 家 的 創 作 屬 性 ，有 些 時 候 ，

面的思考、並由美育的觀點回應了我：『我覺得說其實以臺灣來講，我們的美術教育還是一般

除 了 與 興 趣 、專 長 有 關 ，也 與 現 實 狀 況 脫 離 不 了 關 係 。退 伍 後 和 多 數 人 一 樣 ，陸 先 銘 開 了 畫 室 。

般。這麼多的藝術科系學生出來，當然大家不見得都當藝術家，但如果大家都可以融在社會裡

但因為心在創作，每當有比賽或展覽、畫室就停課專心做作品，畫室的學生便三三兩兩，有段

面去啟發對美的認知，整體環境對美的瞭解，其實是正面的。我們的問題是出在大學太多，所

時 間 入 不 敷 出， 幾 乎 撐 不 下 去 。 那 時 剛 好 有 位 同 學 要 離 開 復 興 美 工 ， 他 受 到 父 母 側 面 的 影 響 ，

以我是覺得這是整個教育制度的問題。那藝術家當然不可能那麼多，因為我們就這麼小，人口

就決定進到學校教書。雖然教書與畫室兩份收入讓生活過得不錯，但創作的時間大量減少，因

就這麼少。所以我覺得我不排斥有太多的美術科系，就一個搞文化的人我覺得這是 OK 的。只

此兩年後就放棄了，而在那之後，他自己挨家挨戶去接各式各樣的小案子、還有設計公司等工

是說，這些美術科系出來的學生，怎麼樣去融到這個社會裡面。因為其實不只是現在，其實我

作都做過，他也說幸好當時設計公司老闆對他不好，不然他也許就繼續作設計了。

們那時候我們那班六十個人，勉強知道還有一個在畫國畫的，其他人都是在各行各業裡面。』 然而由於美術系所增加，在比例上，藝術家的數量當然比起幾十年前要來得多許多，而在藝術

『後來（西元）九二年吧，女兒出生前，那時候因為我又得了一個新展望的大獎，有個比較年

領域中的其他專業也出現了較細緻的分工。對於當代藝術家仍可能與受過藝術教育但轉為分佈

輕 的 畫 廊 找 上 門， 叫 臺 灣 畫 廊 ， 就 開 始 跟 畫 廊 有 關 係 ， 算 是 經 濟 有 來 源 了 。 [… ] 那 個 時 候 雖 然

在社會中、或擔任教育者角色對於藝術的認識有一段距離，陸先銘也很明確的認知，藝術家必

說我們有（展覽）空間，但市場還是，那個時候，算是西元九零年代，經濟有一波起來，比較

須要是較為突破、前瞻的角色，做文化與教育的部分才有著力的地方。最後他補了一句：『想

主 流 的 還 是 楊 三 郎 、 李 石 樵 這 些 。 像 臺 灣 畫 廊 這 樣 做 比 較 當 代 藝 術 的 ， 還 是 算 少 數 。 [… ] 那 段

起來是好的啦，某種程度（藝術家）多，就會有更多畫廊空間出現 。 』

時 間 也 沒 有 說 多 好 ， 因 為 那 個 時 候 畫 價 也 便 宜 ， 大 概 就 是 賣 的 量 抵 經 紀 費 ， 他 們 也 賺 不 到 什麼

於陸先銘而言，要做一位什麼樣的藝術家他卻從來沒有變動、猶疑過。

奔馳着。在訪談過程中，陸先銘提起了一件生涯中重要、卻鮮少有人親眼看過的作品。那是在西元 八九年天安門事件的隔年，美術館舉辦了一個比賽，秉持着那時年輕又有一種征戰的自信，他訂做 了一體成型、長將近三公尺、高兩公尺的木作畫布板底，並將家中落地窗給拆了直接在客廳做畫。

作品退回來之後輾轉幾處、最後借放在朋友工作室，沒想到在朋友搬家後，才從搬運商那兒聽說他

大多關於陸先銘創作的文章總與他生活的城市與環境相關，而這確實也是他創作的重要主軸，

做為藝術家，除了得大獎、在重要的場地舉辦展覽、作品可以被收藏之外，總還是會希望能夠成為

充滿自信的時代之作，因未能被獎項青睞，竟最終落得這與主題同樣不堪的命運，是他心裡的痛。

At the end, he added, “it is still a good thing, though. When there are more (artists), t h e r e a r e m o r e g a l l e r i e s .”

Although there were obvious anxieties in my questions, when I asked Lu if he thought there were too many fine arts departments in universities nowadays, he answered me with his usual positive outlook and from a perspective of aesthetic education, “in my o p i n i o n , t h e a e s t h e t i c e d u c a t i o n i n Ta i w a n i s s t i l l n o t g o o d e n o u g h .

T h e Li f e of an A r t i st The appearance of more galleries and exhibition possibilities is probably the most obvious disparity between the time of Lu’s youth and the present. “I think the difference is, firstly, when we were young, it was more difficult because there were not many chances to be seen. Secondly, the resources were limited. Galleries were willing to work with me only after I won the award. The students today have more chances. Not just museums. Even large galleries are looking for talents when they are still in schools. There are also many alternative spaces. ” When Lu was still in college, Taipei Fine Arts Museum had not been built. United States Information Service was the only exhibition space for academic exhibitions. After he graduated, he served the military service, and it was during that time when Taipei Fine Arts Museum officially opened. For these artists, they were thrilled to have an appropriate space for exhibitions right after finishing the military service. Because Chinese Culture University’s atmosphere, tendency, style, and even the size of artworks were suitable for the museum space and orientation, these artists were able to personally participate in the grand era that was later called the museum era, whether they were participating in competitions, invited for thematic exhibitions by the museum, or applying for exhibitions as a painting school. It was a wonderful memory for Lu Hsien-ming.

In the first exhibition after graduation, Lu actually incorporated many installations. However, after the exhibition that had cost all his savings, he realized that painting was the only creative medium he could afford. This also explained why he focused on painting in his early career, and has only added other media later, including the large sculptural installations in the exhibition, A Tale of Two Cities.

It also revealed the fact that an artist’s creative choice, in addition to personal interests and specialties, would sometimes be affected by the reality. Like many others, after his military service, Lu opened his own studio. Nevertheless, because artistic creation was where his heart lied, whenever there were competitions or exhibitions, he would stop classes in the studio and concentrated on making his artworks. The number of students in the studio, therefore, remained scant, causing financial difficulties for Lu to the point that he could barely survive. At that time, a classmate of his was about to leave his teaching position at Fu-Hsin Trade and Arts School. Influenced by his parents, Lu finally decided to teach at the school. Although the double incomes allowed Lu to live a decent life, his time for making art had significantly decreased. As a result, he gave up two years later, and started taking various small cases from different sources by himself. He had also worked in a design company. According to him, it was fortunate that the boss of the design company was mean to him; otherwise, he would have stayed and remained a designer then.

“It was probably in 1992, before the birth of my daughter, I won the award called, Contemporary Art Trends in the Republic of China. After that, a relatively new gallery, Taiwan Gallery, contacted me. That was when I started working with galleries, and got more financially secured… At that time, although we had (exhibition) space, the market was limited. It was in the 1990s when the economy was rising. Artists like Yang San-lang and Lee Shih-chiao were the popular mainstream. Contemporary galleries such as Taiwan Galler y were ver y few… So, it was still not a great time. Paintings were inexpensive and sold to compensate for the agent fees. The gallery did not really profit, and was closed (after three years) due to this reason. Then, I worked with InSian Gallery. After my collaboration with InSian, I taught as a part-time teacher here and there without any proper plans; teaching in universities, taking students out to sketch, all kinds of stuff. It worked for me in a way that if I needed to stop classes, I could sort of manage it.”

After that period, Lu actually won another two major awards and continued to work with galleries.

However, he could not escape from the fate of borrowing money for making exhibitions. When asked if he had ever thought about the market demand, he replied that it was precisely the reason 30

雙城記－浮城過影／陸先銘個展

A Tale of Two Cities - Lu Hsien-ming Exhibition: Glimpses of Cities

專文 | Essays

why he had to work so hard in such pitiable state. For him, making art has always been based on a single-minded impulse. When he really considered the reality, he always has thought about “What do I do to continue this path I have taken?” instead of “Should I continue in taking this path?”

Lu said that ar tists from his generation and have sur vived shared his belief more or less. From his obser vation of the market, he thought that the wave of artistic collection from the 1980s to 1990s should have had some positive effect on the contemporary art in Taiwan. However, China’s sudden emergence has influenced the Taiwanese market. He also realized that, instead of having an immediate welcome, his works have always become quite popular and appealing to collectors only after seven or eight years of their creation. At the moment, it is another static period for him. So, he could only comfort himself with the idea that an artist’s theme and concerns are always ahead of his time. Collectors have rarely been able to support and appreciate the artworks at the time.

Hence, he could only continue his work and wait in patience for the right time to come.

The little human figure that largely appeared in Lu’s early works was a character that reflected his observations on the society and environment as well as a kind of self-reflection. In his later, most renowned Road Bridge series, or in Urban Theater series that depicted the middle and lower class people, this little figure still appeared as a form of the artist’s signature in some insignificant places of the paintings, seemingly running with his hair flowing behind. In this interview, Lu mentioned a significant work that only a few people had seen. It was after 1989, the Tiananmen Square protests, the museum held a competition. Young and confident about winning, Lu ordered a large all-in-one-piece wood panel that was three-meter long and two-meter high, and painted directly in his living room after he removed the French windows to accommodate the piece. He used the little man as his key character and based the painting on the theme of the June Fourth Incident, anticipating that the painting would win a prize and be collected by the museum afterwards. Things turned out to be otherwise. After the work was returned, it was kept at a few different places and ended up stored at a friend’s studio. After his friend moved away, Lu heard from the mover that his friend left the painting to him, who burned the work later. The significant piece, titled A Father, Who Has Killed His Own Son, Defiled His Daughter Tonight, with a dramatic scene of light and shadow and was filled with symbols, had been a work of the time that showed the confidence of the artist. It still pained Lu to think that because the painting did not win any prize, it had come to an aggrieving end similar to its theme.

In A Tale of Two Cities, the little man that has always played a leading role in Lu’s mind finally became the center of the exhibition as he wished. However, this large-scale sculpture in stainless steel that has created a debt of nearly a million dollars was still needed to be “lent a place for storage,” just like that great painting completed more than twenty years ago. Being called an artist throughout the years and with the glory of solo and group exhibitions and works collected by domestic and international museums, Lu still needs to face and deal with financial problems everyday, even though he is already one of the prominent artists in Taiwanese art history in my mind. Speaking about the booming, maturing art market in Taiwan in recent decades, we talked about how young creators could sell their works as artists to make a living. However, as Lu stated, the maturing market did not really change much for them because, at this age, they were no longer inexperienced artists that galleries could control. On the other hand, he has also observed that young artists might have been influenced once they could have a stable life after entering the art market. For instance, their ambition and tendency to experiment might gradually weaken as they start to accommodate, and even make compromises for, their collaborators.

Nevertheless, even though this might be the case, art graduates who do not have the patronage and support of galleries would often need to seek out other works that provide a steady income to sustain their artistic work (and most of them would slowly disappear from this path at this moment); they would also need to actively participate in award competitions, apply for subsidies and grants, and maximize their exposure in exhibitions, etc., to carry on their artistic careers. It is the same in Taiwan as well as around the world, and apparently, the situation has stayed relatively unchanged throughout the forty years. Only a handful of artists could make a decent living by selling artworks. As time has passed, the most visible change might be the multiplication of museums and galleries, in which the possibility of working as an artist has formed and people’s understanding of 31

it has increased. Additionally, the number of awards and subsidies has grown more. Yet, there are more people working in artistic creation today, creating more competition. As the division of labor becomes more specific and specialized, little by little, the role of an artist is not the only choice for art personnel. Artists might also tailormake their works according to the providers of subsidies, collaborating galleries, curators, or even other creators around them. In the past four decades, however, Lu has never changed or wondered what kind of artist he wanted to be.

A n Ar t i st ’s Posi t i on Most of the articles that talked about Lu’s work emphasized on its relation to the city he lived in and the urban environment, which has been essential in his work indeed. However, I found that what Lu cared about was the society and its people; furthermore, he observed and contemplated on these issues from a perspective that encompassed the entire historical context.

I have always thought that, apart from winning prestigious awards, holding exhibitions at respectable venues, having works collected, an artist would always hope to become an academically recognized master and be recorded in art history. However, what Lu had said regarding the Taipei Art Group, talking about how he has deemed himself “little,” has left me surprised and shaken. “At that time, members of the Taipei Art Group often had gatherings. At around thirty years old or so, we had already realized that our generation could never have had great achievements. The achievement I am referring to is something like becoming a great master of art. What we could do was to become stepping-stones for later generations so that they could climb up and high and become outstanding and renowned on our shoulders. Without us being stepping-stones, they could not get to the top because the environment in Taiwan was a lot worse than it is now. There were neither chances nor resources. If an artist wanted to become famous and exceptional, he would have to be excellent in school so that he could have good opportunities, resources and supporters after graduation. With all these elements and his own talent, such an artist would be seen and known very fast and become a superstar that was able to guide or initiate something. It was not the case for us. At nearly sixty years old, we still have very little resources and rely on such a stubborn passion to carry on. The truth is that we have been aware of this since our youth. Once we start, we will continue, accepting that our achievement would reach a limit.”

This kind of thinking, in which Lu willingly transformed himself into the roots at the bottom that received little light, was identical to his personality. Perhaps, it had something to do with the past that they had tried to link with the international art scene and had studied the international trends since they were in the May Painting Society, the Eastern Painting Society, and the Taipei Art Group. Since then, Lu has been reflecting and opposing this phenomenon, believing that it was unnecessary to keep following other’s steps, and endeavoring in re-emphasizing his own life and this land in his work. In that era when styles and trends were still visible, as artists in Taiwan lacked resources and opportunities while facing chaotic political conditions and social changes, their works mostly originated from the surrounding environment, directly faced everything around them, and responded accordingly. When I asked his view on the current situation, in which young artists’ works nowadays usually started from and discussed the artists themselves, some academic theories, or the chosen artistic media, he disclosed that he did not know whether this should be taken as a generational change and wondered why today’s art has been severed from the society. For him, he found it difficult to break from the status that “the entire society provided artistic creation its nourishment as its umbilical cords connected it to the outside.” As young artists, they were completely submerged in artistic creation all the time, giving it profound contemplation and transforming their observations and concerns into works. As a member of the younger generation, I think the reason of this might be because our generation has never experienced that chaotic time of the history and happened to grow up in a era with social and economic stability; with the impact of information and media explosion, our generation has become 32

what it is like now. However, when I asked whether there would be another wave of artists whose works would be closely related to our society given the fact that Taiwan has experienced another social change in the past few years, which forced this generation to face issues of economy and politics, Lu still could not be certain. In my mind, such a question was linked to the position of an artist. From my point of view, Lu not only sees himself as an artist, he also recognizes himself as a social and cultural worker.

“I can only speak for myself. I have positioned myself in this way that as we see the art created by the people in the past, we have gained a lot from it, understood the trodden paths of the human race and its spirit. I hope to become part of it and be able to contribute to the cultural history of mankind so that the future generations can see what I have created and left; whether it is to enrich the future, or it is to interpret the time, the events, the space that we have experienced or things that have happened to us, this is what I want to do. That’s it. I do not have any other greater thoughts. As we review the history, we know the future. We review the past art to know this, so this is what I would do.” In the cultural development in history, through the acute sensibility and observation of an artist, Lu tries to preserve the present for the future by doing what he is good at. This is the position he has taken as an artist. As a matter of fact, if we leave the artistic achievements for art scholars to discuss, such a position may seem similar to the other means like photography, writing or video. Nevertheless, through various media and forms of expression, dialogues and communication in multiple ways with the people in the society, around us and in the future could be created; instead of mere documentation or representation, what the art preserves is the reflections and responses of contemporary artists. Personally speaking, this is exactly why art is irreplaceable.

S t a r t in g w it h t he Ro ad Br idge When thinking about Lu Hsien-ming’s work, “road bridge” must be the first thing that comes into mind. Since the 1990s, Lu ha been using the road bridges as his artistic theme: he painted the road bridges that were under construction while bearing witness to their rise. He delineated the road bridges from a low angle, creating unsettling feelings with their fluid, winding curves. He depicted the colossal bridge piers, emphasizing their imposing presence. He always simplified the form of the road bridges, giving them succinct lines and making the architectural body more simple and pure. By doing so, the audience’s gaze would not be distracted by other minor details but directly focused on the architecture. It was like using the stage light to give prominence to the massive presence with its gloominess, strangeness and a sense of uncertainty it conveyed to people.

T h ro u g h o u t t h e ye a r s , Lu h a s n e ve r s t o p p e d p a i n t i n g . He d o c u m e n t e d t h e d r a s t i c c h a n g e s i n Taiwan as well as the helpless existence of people in the progress of modern development. So, the “road bridge” is simply a medium, a pronoun, a symbol; and through the appearances of these modern architectural monuments in the cities, Lu has exposed people’s psychological state.

當中反倒沈靜下來，陸橋底下那荒涼冷漠的空間，像是莊嚴寧靜的無人劇場，富含詩意。

樸的環境生態「回不來了」，這樣的視覺和心理衝擊，根植在陸先銘的創作裡。

灰、黑等顏色為主要基底，營造出冷調與鬼魅的氛圍，而劇場式的聚光燈投射，更像是對此 龐然大物的放大檢視：面對城市建設還有太多未知，藝術家毋寧選擇一個觀察的距離。

陸 先 銘 一 九 五 九 年 出 生 在 臺 北 ，他 的 成 長 歷 程 ，正 逢 臺 灣 從 農 業 走 向 工 業 化 社 會 的 劇 烈 轉 變 ， 幼年記憶中的農田、荒地，在數十年光陰中逐漸消失，取而代之的是高聳的現代化建築櫛次

所謂的高架道路包含高速公路、環快道路乃至跨河岸、連結行政區域的大小橋樑等。及至今

大、橫越城市地平線的高架道路「觸角」，才會如此四通八達地「入侵」城內城外，甚至人 們認為，一個城市的道路高架化程度，也是現代化高低、先進與否的一項指標，認同這些灰 撲撲、不起眼的工業化產物，象徵著一座城市的進步。

日常生活裡，舉目望去歷歷可見，為人們帶來快速與便利。然而，如陸先銘這一輩的臺灣人 而言，他們是高架道路的工程建設從無到有的「見證者」。

陸橋之外，人物是陸先銘創作的另一主軸，他偏好以平凡百姓入畫，不知名的老伯翹腿遠望、神 情木然，推資源回收車的阿嬤，經營麵攤的大嬸，藝術家友人等，這些面孔我們天天可見，但也

During the twenty years of developing Road Bridge series, Lu started from purely painting to gradually adding modern media, like stainless steel and LED, which were combined with traditional painting materials, like paint and canvases, to construct seemingly indestructible scenes of urbanscape one after another. Nonetheless, no matter how conflicting these materials were, Lu has always been able to maintain a state of balance and stability in the images he created. They referred to our contemporary living environment and a type of order that has arisen from the disorder. The threatening, monstrous presence in these three new works became rather quiet and calm; and the desolate, indifferent space under the road bridge was like a solemn, tranquil theatre without human existence; it was extremely poetic.

The site of Taipei 101 used to be the abandoned munitions factory. After the relocation of the factory, there is now the landmark of Taipei. There used to be nothing in that area. Back then, there were almost only low-rises in Taipei; and I lived in a military dependent’s village, in which people’s relations were intimate. ─ Lu Hsien-ming Lu Hsien-ming was born in Taipei in 1959. He grew up in a time of dramatic changes as Taiwan was shifting from an agricultural society to an industrial one. The rice fields and wasteland in his childhood memory had slowly disappeared in decades, replaced by well-aligned, concentrated multitudes of modern high-rises.

In 1970s, traffic construction was also one of th e main pro je c ts amo n g th e Te n Majo r C o n s tr u c tio n Proj ect s led by the government.

A Tale of Two Cities - Lu Hsien-ming Exhibition: Glimpses of Cities

Apart from the road bridges, human figures have formed another axis in Lu’s art. He prefers to paint ordinary people, such as a nameless old man crossing his leg on top of another with a vacant face, a grandma pushing a recycle cart, a mid-aged woman running a noodle stand, the artist’s friends, etc.

These faces could be seen in our daily life; however, precisely because of their ordinariness, we have rarely cast a glance at them.

The Cities, a work installed on the exterior walls of the museum, was comprised of sixteen figures selected from the portraits Lu painted from 1998 to 2006. They were printed digitally and made into black-and-white portraits, and then, fitted into the sixteen wooden window frames of the museum facade. These figures included mobile stand owners, elderly people, physical challenged individuals as well as Lu’s friends. Delineated with realistic techniques, Lu represented their lifelike faces and physical postures. Most of them looked dejected, staring into an empty future as they walked alone in life.

Lu installed the images of these ordinary people on the facade of the building, which were reminiscent of the images of saints inlaid in niches or glass windows in Western churches. Through reversing the position of these nobodies and contrasted them with large-scale, empty and desolate construction projects, Lu stated that people who have been fighting for their lives were the foundation, on which the society progressed.

As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands. A description of Zaira as it is today should contain all Zaira’s past. The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls. ─ Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino.

kept as monuments. However, Lu’s work in 2008, Monument, has accidentally captured the modest silhouette of the toll station.

The launch of highways turned the toll stations along the way into landscape that people were a c c u s t o m e d t o.

Driving at night on the highways was part of Taiwanese people’s collective memory. In Monument, the black iron plates on the two sides, the large strong screws, and the curved stainless steel plates that formed the massive bridge columns while reflecting the surroundings and flowing light all referred to the bridge piers and columns of the concrete highways.

one could get a glimpse of the evolving engineering and construction in Taiwan. Therefore, The Glimpses also served as a dual “retrospection,” in which viewers could look into the development of Taiwanese cities in these private images while tracing the artistic career of the artist.

Lu Hsien-ming compared himself to a theater director that selected the most appropriate characters, styling, postures, materials and circumstances from his photos, and bit by bit placed the elements on the most suitable spots, putting together one after another the scenes of Taiwanese s o c i e t y. W h a t Lu h a s w a n t e d t o c o n ve y t h ro u g h h i s d e l i n e a t i o n o f t h e c o l d , e m o t i o n l e s s c i v i l c o n s t r u c t i o n w a s h i s h u m a n i s t i c c a re s a n d c o n c e r n s f o r p e o p l e’s l i v i n g c i rc u m s t a n c e s a n d t h e wonderful remembrances of his childhood, even though time was eventually like the glimpses of the cities, which, once passed, would never return.

T h e Real i st i c U r ban S oci et y The art of painting can consist only in the representation of objects visible and tangible to the painter…. Imagination in art consists in knowing how to find the most complete expression of an existing thing, but never in inventing or creating that thing itself. ─ Gustave Courbet During the rapid industrial development in the 19th century, the invincible industrialization triggered extraordinary changes in all societies. Converting phenomena and realities in life into artistic creation and representing the theory and realization of social conditions have formed the quintessential idea of realism. The artistic purpose of artists has been to reveal the people, events and things they have seen with their own eyes without any idealization or beautification but only with truthful representation, even though it might not fit people’s preconception of “beauty.” Although realism has undergone multiple changes in time, its core spirit of reflecting life remained steadfastly unaltered.

In his thirty-year artistic career, Lu has always been attentive to the modernization of Taiwanese cities. In a hallway outside one of the exhibition galleries, he displayed the photos, sketches, video documentation produced along his artistic journey. More than a hundred documents were framed in small window grids, constituting a work of texts and images, titled The Glimpses. It was not difficult to see that some images eventually became the scenes on canvases and were integrated into the final works. One could also compare how the artist has manipulated these elements to adapt to the ideal composition.

It has been Lu’s habit since his youth to always carry his camera with him. Being a photography enthusiast, he has created a small personal image archive throughout the decades. From these photos,

這個宏大敘事的現代精神背後，陸先銘將視角拉回這座城市的主體，城市中的人 與 光 陰 的 變 遷 。現 代 化 加 快 了 人 的 生 活 便 捷 能 力 ，也 加 快 了 現 代 經 濟 的 高 速 運 轉 ， 它在地球的任何一個角落，似乎都成為勢不可擋的必然趨勢。在這個趨勢背後， 在這些光鮮亮麗的榮耀背後，無數個體仍然經歷、承受著自身的流變。

〈 浮 城 〉 是 陸 先 銘 本 次 展 覽 中 特 別 為 當 代 館 現 地 創 作 的 壁 面 裝 置。 全 作 剪 輯 了

The Cities

1998 至 2006 年不同作品系列中的 16 個人物圖像與城市背景，以數位噴印再製 成黑白人像，然後一一嵌進當代館外牆的 16 扇木窗。這些人像包括街頭的流動攤 販、獨行老人、藝術家好友扮裝的觀光客、攝影者和身障者等，他們寫照了時代 轉進與環境變化中，不同身分、境遇與生活態度的各種都市人物。一個個寫實的 面容表情與栩栩如生的身體姿態，彷彿正述說著他們在都會生活劇場中所演出的 不同角色；陸先銘將他們對稱地集結呈現在當代館古蹟建築的窗框中，圖像陣列 與建築門面對話的形制，讓人聯想到西方教堂將使徒形象排列在壁龕中或玻璃窗 的聖像畫傳統。陸先銘歷年的創作，不斷觀察探討社會環境對人們生活的影響， 透過畫作，他一方面凸顯了冰冷無情、空無人跡的工程建設大場景，另一方面卻 又聚焦關注在街頭孑然現身、在角落孤獨存在的各種弱勢小人物；前者看似歌頌 實充滿批判，後者狀似同情而不乏尊重。這件在當代館正門口與觀者進行第一類 接觸的壁面大裝置，隱約透露了讓觀者用心眼去重新注視觀想日常周遭各色人物 的一種人文意識和藝術意圖。

語言和媒介材料，而大膽地結合雕塑、影像、空間裝置等異質的材料和形式，在當代館的 入 口 形 象 區 到 二 樓 大 展 間 中， 就 地 建 構 了 一 件 規 模 巨 大 而 貫 穿 樓 層， 組 件 眾 多 而 意 象 綿 延的超大型裝置。此作主要的符號元素和情境表達，是用一種象形文字式小人物（首見於 1988 年 的 畫 作〈 一 個 長 大 的 夢 〉 ） 的 25 款 變 奏 造 型， 搭 配 了 不 同 尺 寸 規 格 的 台 座 與 穿 越樓層的立柱，加上二樓地面不規則展示台構成的圍牆，以及牆面中反覆播出的小人物動 畫，從中所鋪展出來的景觀，指涉了在有限的空間環境中，人們或被迫不停向前衝刺、或 自我強迫不斷向上爬升的一種社會情境。

此一意念，來自陸先銘年輕時期創作發展的個人境遇，描述生活在社會重重壓力下的眾多

雙城記－浮城過影／陸先銘個展

A Tale of Two Cities - Lu Hsien-ming Exhibition: Glimpses of Cities

圖錄 | Plates

This new work by Lu Hsien-ming is created specifically for the space of MOCA. Lu moves away from his usual choices of media and artistic expressions, experimenting with an unfamiliar and bold combination of art forms that incorporates sculpture, video art and space-transforming installation art. The colossal installation composed of a multitude of components rises from the first floor near the museum’s entrance and extends high into the second floor. It alludes to symbolism and contextual expressions to create a work rich with imagery. Numerous sculptures of fifteen variations of hieroglyphic figures, reincarnations of the commoner character first appearing in his painting A Grown Up Dream (1988), are mounted on round platforms of various sizes and affixed on a two-story tall post. A series of irregular pedestals on the second floor are arranged to form a wall, inlaid with screens, where animations of the hieroglyphic figures play on repeat. A visual landscape is thus assembled to visualize the phenomenon where members of a society are forced to continue battling or climbing up in order to survive in a social environment where resources are limited.

This evocative work draws on Lu’s personal experience in his early creative career. It suggests an all-too-familiar story where ordinary people, pressured by various social factors, repeat the cycle of stressful workdays to achieve something or just to make ends meet. It also conveys the distressing struggle of the underprivileged who try to survive in a social environment where they are marginalized. The work seems to imply the possibility of a potential movement in which members of society abandon everything and escape the status quo to find their freedom and construct a new self. All components of this large installation converge on a massive stainless steel sculpture, 2.5 meters tall, at the center of the museum. It presents a character nearly identical to that represented by the over eighty smaller sculptures. The large sculpture, however, embodies the most distinctive symbol, a hero-like leader or prophet who safeguards freedom and defends humanity.

種左右完全對稱的空間架構，進而啟動窗外的實景觀看，以及窗內的文件閱讀—包括 藝術家的手繪圖稿、靜態的影像和動態的錄像等；這些在小小窗格上與觀眾最先接觸 的「創作文件」，實際都關聯到接下來進入展間所遇見的「藝術作品」。於此，觀賞 動線和空間設施的整合，文件閱讀和作品欣賞的貫串，對創作者來說是歷史的回溯， 對欣賞者來說則是全新的探索。其二是在走廊前中後段等距設置了四片鏡屏，透過觀 眾自行操控轉動鏡屏，鏡子與鏡子之間的相互照映，賦予這個古老懷舊的紅磚廊道， 一種人影憧憧、景物交錯的視覺效果，和時光流變的氛圍。

雙城記－浮城過影／陸先銘個展

In this exhibition, Lu Hsien-ming repurposes the corridor that connects Rooms 106 to 108 into a space that engages the audiences in different participatory activities. In the new space, Lu replicates existing windows on one side of the wall along the corridor and places them in mirroring positions on the opposite side. The now perfectly symmetrical passageway provides two possible viewing activities. One is to look out the real windows. The other is to look at the documents and videos displayed on the artificial window grids. The works on display include sketches, images and videos. The materials that represent the process of making the works of art would be seen later by the viewers. A connection is created between the documents and the artworks through the transitional space of the corridor leading to its destination, the galleries.

Two layers of meaning are produced. For the artist, the installation looks into the past as his creative process is deconstructed. For the audience, on the other hand, it is a prelude to an exploration of works of art completely new to them. The artist also installed four evenly spaced revolving mirrors along the corridor. As the mirrors are turned to face each other, the reflections of the audience multiply, bringing about a shadowy, illusory atmosphere in the historical red brick pathway where the definition of time now becomes nullified.

In the 21st century, Taiwan’s urban and rural areas alike are developing at high speed. Largescale highway construction projects embody the ambition of social advancement; while linking the elevated infrastructures of the nation into a network, these roadways are also cutting apart and creating spaces and corners of disconnection, emptiness and loneliness. This painting depicts a surreal landscape under an overpass, a view towards the faraway horizon through massive columns. In the sky is a circle of light (impossible to say if it’s the sun or the moon) shining down on a structure signifying the generic highway tollbooth. Now that the tollbooth has become extinct in Taiwan, the black silhouette of the tollbooth structure, also reminiscent of a Japanese Shinto shrine, can also be read in the present day as the artist’s prophesy of the times to come.

With low-profile dark iron plates, large sturdy screws and steel plates that reflect the shapes and sights of their surroundings with a curved surface, Lu recreates the ordinarily concretemade buttresses and columns of an overpass. Setting the scene with the hand-painted sky and the structure in the distance, Lu transforms the abandoned, disconnected space under the overpass into an empty theatre spectacle — solemn, serene and full of poetry. As curator Cui Can-can mentioned, there is an ideal homeland in the heart of every artist; we can very well see the presented scene as an example of the artist re-creating dark places and dilapidated corners into the sacred temple of light and salvation through positivity, artistic vision and creative practice. The size, material and presentation of the piece also harbor the concept and apparatus of an interactive experience: the sun/moon made from mirror-finish stainless steel is placed at the height of the average adult’s head, so the viewer can experience the visual fantasy of seeing oneself as part of the art work, when standing in front of it.

107 展出的三幅繪畫，包括〈雨後〉、〈歸〉和〈潛龍〉，都是以不鏽鋼板取代畫布，藝 術家直接在上面繪圖畫色，有意讓線條顏料和作為載體的鋼板互相試探遊說，從中開拓出 特殊的肌理、質感、和光色效果。這三件作品除了實際尺寸特大，畫面的布置經營也刻意 強化了建設的宏偉、空間的延伸、和一種視覺對比的張力。 1990 年初，高架化的道路建設，開始從郊外的高速公路擴展到都會地區，除了作為聯外 交通之用，也被官方正視為解決市區交通阻塞的便捷之道。量體巨大、以車河姿態縱貫或 橫越都市地平的高架道路，四處侵入都會空間，不斷地重塑都會的景觀，同時也改變了人 們對都市的印象和環境的感覺。陸先銘即是當時臺灣藝壇中，最早對這種時代發展和社會 跡象有所感悟，且長程地透過創作來刻畫檢視，進而從中抒發個人想像與見解的畫家。 相較於陸先銘的早期畫作，以濃厚、低調、焦慮的性格，表達了城市建設的未知狀態與失 序感覺；這三幅近作屬於現代化已發展完成的城市，雖仍疏離冷漠卻隱藏著溫度，訴說在 急速奔騰中仍不可忽視的人性。如〈雨後〉畫面左上方，悠游散步的小紅傘；〈歸〉畫面 右 上 方 ，急 速 通 過 的 送 貨 車 ，都 輕 輕 點 出 了 四 處 流 動 在 大 城 市 裏 的 人 文 和 生 機；而〈 潛 龍 〉 遠處堤岸上如國家口號、公共標語般浮現的「金劍沉埋、壯氣蒿萊」（引自李後主 -《浪 淘沙》，卻好像檯面下的無聲吶喊，註記了過去的滿懷壯志和胸襟理想。

The three pieces in Room 107, After Raining, Return and Hidden Dragon, are painted directly onto stainless steel plates. Foregoing the traditional canvas, the artist intentionally orchestrates a two-way investigation/conversation between the lines and strokes of paint and the steel-plate-as-receptacle, creating a distinct texture, shine and color effect. Aside from being grand in size and scale, the three pieces also feature compositions that deliberately emphasize the majesty of the structures, the extension of space, and a visual tension created by the juxtaposition.

At the beginning of the 1990s, the construction of elevated infrastructures started expanding from rural highways towards urban areas. In addition to providing a means of transportation between different places, these roadway structures were also viewed by the government as an easy solution to the congested traffic in metropolitan areas. The massive elevated pathways, crisscrossing the landscape and skyline of the city in the shape of endlessly streaming traffic, encroached upon urban spaces and continuously reshaped the view of cities. At the same time, they also changed the way we see and feel about the impressions and environment of a city. Lu was the first painter amongst his contemporaries in the Taiwanese contemporary art community to be inspired by the development and social sea change of the age, to examine the phenomenon on a long-term basis, and to articulate his vision and findings through his work.

Lu’s earlier works express the unknowable status of and feeling of disorder towards urban construction through thick, anxious and subdued textures. In comparison, these three recent pieces depict a modern and developed urban landscape which, while detached and cool, still harbors a sense of warmth, pointing towards a necessary humanity even in a furious rush. The serenely wandering little red umbrella at the upper left corner of After Raining and the delivery truck speeding past the upper right part of Return both bring to mind the humanity and energy flowing freely through big cities. As for the propagandaesque words on the pier in the far ground of Hidden Dragon “The golden sword has sunken, and the hero’s ambitions abandoned in the grass”, from Li Yu’s poem, Waves Scouring the Sands), they can be seen as a silent scream under the table, a footnote to heroic ambitions and ideals long since disappeared.

飄飄何所似

此作混搭了陸先銘過去創作中慣用的圖像元素和異質材料，包含寫實的人像、人去

Drifting As...

樓 空 的 老 屋、 從 頭 頂 伸 向 遠 處 地 平 線 的 陸 橋、 鋼 板 切 割 擬 造 的 枯 樹、 如 假 包 換 的 L E D 跑 馬 燈 、直 接 置 入 現 成 物 的 竹 板 凳 等 。陸 先 銘 以 這 些 元 素 建 構 一 種 舞 台 場 景 ， 用來烘顯夕陽餘暉的畫面中央，兩位長者倚坐在長椅兩端正在交談的日常畫面。 策展人特別點出，陸先銘的材料應用影射了文化的雙向性，例如，在視覺系統中， 不銹鋼的光滑表面和反光特性與繪畫顏料形成了強烈的對比關係；數位跑馬燈的閃 亮及電子光感，也和顏料繪製的沉悶、壓抑畫面構成了一種極大的反差；畫中沉重 的、毫無溫度的布景元素也在無形中壓縮著主角人物的空間。在文化系統中，這些 物品又象徵著現代科技的成果與重大變革，它隱喻著現代精神的剛毅與創新精神， 同樣也標示著一座城市的堅固與永恆。在這些悖論關係之中，陸先銘用戲劇化的手 法使作品產生了一種特殊感染力，讓我們凝神注視那些真實存在但又因種種尷尬而 無法直視的現實，或靜坐畫前，參與想像傾聽從畫面人口中隱約傳來的心聲。

從小就喜歡畫畫 畫的自認為也還不錯 但是呢 那個時候還沒有 立志要當畫家 那功課不好 在那個時候碰到一個 美術老師叫簡克明 那我一直對他很感恩 就是他啟發了我決定走向美術這一條路 他說你 書念不好 那將來到社會上去跟人家競爭 那如何去跟功課比你好的人競爭 是不容易的 但是你的畫畫在學校裡面就贏過所有的人 那將來到社會上比你畫的好的人一定少多 所以你需要競爭的對手相對會少很多 你為什麼不在自己拿手的這個部份去下功夫 那將來出人頭地的機會比較大 那他這句話就點醒了我 我就想通了以後 我回去就跟我母親講說我決定要走美術這一條路 當時的 70 年代西方很流行的是「照相寫實」 這個 這個畫派 就是那個時候有幾個老師 一個是許坤成 一個謝孝德 一個陳世明 這三個老師因為當時都從歐洲回來 那他們把這一個不一樣的技巧 跟觀看藝術的方式帶回到臺灣來 剛好都在文化 ( 大學 ) 任教 加上文化又很自由的一個學風 老師有點就是放牛吃草 那我們上課的時候老師也不教怎麼畫畫 但是他們會介紹觀念 而且他會鼓勵我們不要畫 舊的印象派的東西 所以那時候大家就會嘗試各種不同的表現方式 那當然最主流的就是還是以寫實入手 因為剛剛提到的這三位老師他們當年都是畫寫實的 那我們做學生當然多少還是會受老師影響

就會從寫實這個部份去切入 所以在大學的四年 大部分的學長學弟 他們的表現手法 百分之九十都是從寫實入手 作品因為得到雄獅新人獎 啊作品就歸雄獅 它是一個有一點像舞台的一個場景 一個年輕人的背影背對著觀眾 只有畫他半身 就是往斜前方走過去 然後棺材前面放了一面鏡子 一面鏡子 那我在談就是說 人是不是一定要到了 走到最後那一步 面對鏡子的時候 才審視到自己存在的意義跟價值 談的大概是這樣子的問題 現在回憶起來 基本上還是在摸索 就是感覺 一直 覺得說藝術家他所具備的一個使命 那個時候因為年輕總是會有一種使命感肩上 因為藝術除了形式的開拓 那個是在美術史上會留下痕跡 就是在視覺領域的一個創新開拓 退而求其次的話就是在內容上 那這個意義的話 在我自己的認知就是 跟你活過的當下 活過的這一段時間 的時間空間都能產生對應關係的話 這藝術品才會有價值 留下來 那退伍回來就脫節兩年是有點慌恐 雖然在大學時後就得了雄獅新人獎 可是退伍回來以後我就 決定把我過去的熟悉的那套創作 形式跟內容通通丟掉 跟以前不一樣的就是 過去在念書的時候還是 台灣的社會相對還是保守 很多話是 不敢講的 那退伍回來以後 因為是比較屬於解嚴前靠近的那個時候 那會對社會上的 尤其是自己年輕很多社會上的不滿的事情 就說 覺得這個社會不公義的事情 就像太陽花學運那些學生一樣 看這個也不順眼看那個也不順眼 那年輕嘛 會有很多東西就容易不順眼的話 就會想要用藝術來做敘述 所以那個時候的作品會 就比較批判性 所以會有一些很潦草的筆觸 很強烈的色彩 來敘述這個社會裡面的不安的氣氛

剛好那個時候的 Bad P a i n t i n g 這個表現形式也是 都是往自己的歷史 裡 面 去 找 題 材 都是往自己的 土地 跟過去的 發生過的人 情 歷 史 產生關係 所以跟我們創作的 脈 絡 跟 方 向 都 能 夠 吻 合 所以很自然地會受 到 些 許 的 影 響 剛剛講前面是因為 批 判 色 彩 比 較 重 但是到了復興教書 以 後 會 又更深刻地去思考 就會覺得說 生活在這社會上 大多數的人都被生 活 所 壓 迫 常常做一些自己不 見 得 喜 歡 的 事 情 因為這個反省就是 我大概自己在復興 教 書 你就會覺得每天早 上 七 點 就 要 到 學 校 然後下課回來 做創作 然後第二天起來又 要 重 複 去 學 校 就是 這個生活是有點 機 械 化 制式化的 有點像螞蟻行列裡 面 的 一 隻 螞 蟻 一 樣 不得已 前面的往前走 後 面 的 往 前 推 你夾在中間 你也只能 一 直 往 前 走 所以有了這些體悟 以 後 就創作了這個三根 毛 的 小 人 早期剛開始創作的 時 候

這個人都比較垂頭喪氣 因為那個時候會覺得 給自己很大的痛苦 所以我就創作這些人生活在一些隧道裡面 每個人都是往前 但是那個隧道上會有反方向的箭頭 反方向的箭頭 的意思是說 也許正確的方向是在後面 但是 你沒有辦法回頭 你前面的人跟後面的人 大家都是這樣子往前推 所以你只能夠夾在中間跟著往前走 所以從那時候開始 這個人就存在我的畫面裡面 離開復興的時候 民國 78 年 就是解嚴之後 整個經濟快速的一個發展 那個時候我的工作室在中和 所以我從臺北要過橋到永和到中和 那在這一段路上騎摩托車來來回回 就會觀察到整個城市劇烈的一個變化 那一個城市的進步 當然我們做粗淺的敘述是它會高樓大廈 當然我們最粗淺的敘述就是它會 高樓大廈就蓋起來 無數的橋也架設起來 為了讓交通更順暢 然後我感受很深的就是說 以前的時候 我騎著機車在臺北大街小巷跑的時候 那個時候民國 70 幾年的時候 臺灣名貴的車還很少

A Tale of Two Cities - Lu Hsien-ming Exhibition: Glimpses of Cities

所以我可能騎一天車 看不到一輛兩輛的 所謂的 BENS 跟 BMW 這樣等級的車 可是到了民國 70 多年 末期的時候 突然發現到 奇怪我 一條街還沒騎完怎麼 旁邊全部都是 BMW 跟 BENS 突然覺得說 臺灣 變有錢了 有錢人變多了 所以整個社會很快速的這樣的進步 那就想說 從那個頹廢中走出來 如何去面對這個城市的轉換跟進步 所以就 開始創作了跟都市景觀有關的這些議題的作品 一開始在畫陸橋 在畫城市的時候 我是希望傳達出 在這個建設的過程中是有點混沌 沒有秩序感的 然後但是呢 又很有生猛有力 所以用一些比較粗曠的 我用畫刀 用厚的油彩去堆疊 讓這個筆觸 比較跳躍式的 閃動的 那這種方式來呈現我所要表達的內容跟企圖 那個時候也反省到 我的大命題 人跟環境的一個關係 就是說 這個都市快速的進步人的角色到底是甚麼

那其實是需要去關切去關心的 但是如何去讓大家注意到這樣一個命題 所以我把畫面上的人通通抽走 讓大家在面對作品的時候會驚覺到說人到哪裡去了 整個社會在經濟起飛進步的一個狀態 大家都在追求 追求功利追求名利的時候 所以在街上的人 跟你都是無關的 但是這些人確實存在 所以我畫面上把這些人突然都通通抽走以後 你會驚覺到 人到哪裡去了 希望說觀眾在面對這樣的命題的時候去反思 人的存在的意義跟價值 人跟環境關係的一些價值 我退伍回來不安於過去的技巧 所以我一直在找新的表現方式跟出路 包括了裝置 包括了影像 包括很多的表現方式 其實在 20 世紀末都百花爭鳴 所以我的創作早期的時候也有一些 簡單的一些行為的藝術 也有裝置的藝術 我第一次的個展就是裝置 做了一個大型的裝置作品 但是那一次展完以後 我就欠了一屁股債 就反省說 不對 這樣下去我沒有辦法 創作沒辦法長久

所 以就回到油畫 那 回到油畫畢竟 我 原始的想法還有很多 還 沒 有 完 成 所 以到了若干年前 啊 自己比較有能力就覺 得 說 可 以玩一些材質了以後 就 覺得說我平面繪畫 一 方面是也打破平面繪 畫 的 舊 有 的 形 式 也 希望加上一些新的素 材 跟 油 畫 去 做 結 合 這 是最早的發想 作 品裡面會想到跟當代 的 元 素 去 做 結 合 像 LED 燈 因 為我十幾年前加的時 候 這 算 是 一 個 新 的 媒 材 所 以我覺得把新的媒材 加 進 去 那 加上因為它會動 讓 畫 面 更 有 時 間 感 那 加了大量的不鏽鋼跟 鐵 進 去 的 時 候 是 因 為 覺 得是這個社會進入一 個 比 較 科 技 的 時 代 讓 這些比較現代感的媒 材 加 到油畫裡面 讓 材質去說話 去 說 訴說這個畫面的 當 代 性 跟 現 代 感 所 以這些東西加進去油 畫 了 以 後 可 以豐富油畫它原本的 單 調 平 面 那 變成具有半立體 具 有 時 間 性 也 能夠豐富畫面想要說 的 那 種 企 圖 所 以這些元素是這樣的 理 由 慢 慢 加 進 來 剛 講說退伍回來經過一 段 批 判 看不順眼罵人的 時 期 然 後到畫三根毛以後 就 有點 好像被打擊到 有 點 受 傷 然 後再振作起來面對這 個 城 市 的 時 候 我 就 希 望 說 我 不要再做批判 因 為批判也沒用 都 年輕過都罵人過 但 是 罵 人沒有用 還 是要冷靜客觀地去面 對 問 題

所以我希望我的作品是一種忠實客觀的紀錄者角色 所以你提到說 希望若干年後 呈現給後面的人來觀看 現在我生活過的臺北 其實最 最希望他們看到我眼睛看到的東西 那我眼睛看到的東西用很誠懇 跟真實的 的一個很 雖然畫面也許不冷靜 但是這是 這是當下的一種情緒 就是我希望我 客觀的 忠實的記錄當下的臺北的一些 不管是形式也好 情感也好內容也好 的一個真實的一個狀態 建築會比較冷靜

因為它不動在那裡嘛 那你就觀看它覺得它 有那個結構的價值的話你就會去拍 啊人物的畫是因為 生活裡面就會存在這些人嘛 那這些人 你 你看到了以後 你關注它 你可以從他身上讀到它生活的氣味跟軌跡 那自然就會想要把它留下來 把它拍下來 因為這些人生活在大家的周圍 可是一般人看到不會去注意到它 因為看都是看帥哥美女 誰會去看底層的人 但是這些人從他身上又可以讀到 他紮紮實實在這個社會生活過的氣味跟軌跡 每個人他身上都有他自自己不同的故事 那你去想到背後的那個 他生活過的脈絡跟故事 你自然會覺得這個人是很 很有價值 是需要留下來的 當代藝術館它是顛覆一個古蹟建築 把它改成一個美術館的一個概念和形式 那我們這一次的展覽希望進入美術館以後 能夠再把美術館去做一個顛覆 就是我們藝術家近來又把一個 現有的一個 美術館的型態去做一個改變 所以呢 我就從我的作品裡面 抽出我的元素來 設想如何去改變這個美術館 這次為當代館做的這三件作品

都是針對這個 主 旨 去 做 設 想 而創作的新的 作 品 外觀這件是 作 品 是 浮 城 那用 16 個小 人 我 平 常 畫 過 的 小 人 物 把它放大 然 後 站 在 窗 框 上 來 佔 領 美 術 館 大部分的人都 沒 有 關 注 我 畫 的 這 些 人 所 以 它 變的是有種飄 飄 渺 渺 的 那 種 存 在 感 然後我用黑白 方 式 去 呈 現 它是 又跟真 實 產 生 距 離 感 所以就更符合 這 次 的 主 題 浮城的這個主 題 然後又有佔領 跟 顛 覆 美 術 館 的 企 圖 都 給 達 到 那我裡面走廊 的 過 影 這 件 作 品 是 我創作的內容 的 一 些 線 索 一些線索背後 的 線 索 用這些線索 然 後 透 過 假窗 跟走廊真窗的 一 個 對 話 關 係 來敘述這個 空間改變的一 個 現 狀 跟 事 實 然後從一樓 跑到二樓的蔓 延 的 這 個 奔 的 這 些 作 品 是 我就把我的這 些 小 人 把它集合起來 變 成 很 多 的 小 人 然後從一樓開 始 就 蔓 延 到 二 樓 因為為了要顛 覆 美 術 館 然後甚至要佔 領 美 術 館 所以我必須要 有 一 個 巨 大 的 這 個 小 人 的 頭 頭 在最後 所以就有了一 批 的 小 人 從 一 樓 衝 上 二 樓 最後呈現出一 隻 很 巨 大 的 小 人 把自己的理想 跟 夢 想 做一個最偉大 的 釋 放 跟 呈 現 然後佔領美術 館 這 樣 子 畢竟是我二十 幾 年 前 在 畫 面 上 創 造 出 來 的 一 個 造 型 因為這個小人 一 開 始 的 時 候 並不討喜因為 他 垂 頭 喪 氣 因為當時創作 並 沒 有 考 慮 到 賣 畫 的 問 題 那他完全是很 忠 實 地 呈 現 藝 術 家 當 時 的 心 境 所以那個心境 是 灰 色 的 所以呢 作品 的 形 式 自 然 也 就 很 灰色 很藍調 那後來雖然說 是 他奔跑起來了 但是因為這個 形 式 並 不 優 美 不具備所謂的 市 場 地 賣 像 所以他常常都 偷 偷 躲 在 我 畫 面 的 角 落 可是因為我剛 剛 有 講 過 因 為 我 對 他 有 感 情 那這一次呢 因 為 在美術館展 不 用 考 慮 到 這 些 市場的問題 那我可以純粹 的 面 對 藝 術 性 的 發 揮 所以我就把這 小 人 把他拉出來變 成 主 角 因為他一直是 我 心 目 中 的 主 角 那 利用這樣 的 場 域 我 讓 他 發揮的淋漓盡 致 我 也 蠻 開 心 的
