“My warehouse burned down. There are no things left to protect the scenery of tomorrow.” Chou Tai-Chun’s paintings remind me of this Japanese haiku. Every piece appears as a destroyed or lost scene which, in my opinion, serves as an entrance to another place, a spiritual restoration, or a mean to forget all the mental anguish. There seems to be a problem with the recurring phenomena such as environmental pollution, ecological destruction, and human vices. Those who aim to solve this problem always find the ways how to set your mind at rest. However, we seem to forget that the will of the people does not change so easily. Malicious behavior and interests, more rescue efforts, the goodwill of the soul, all are ultimately in vain. Fortunately, what you see in front of you is a kind of vigilance. It is a kind of scene that awakens the soul. The colors are joyful, the thoughts are bright, and the universe created by Heaven is vast, giving you the chance of resurrection. All losses result in gains. What you lose in your surroundings is compensated by taking it from other places. Chou Tai-Chun paints many protective umbrellas and tells us to open arms to welcome the “de” that slowly begins to surface. In the stillness of silence, he reflects and awakens the quietness of the destructed ruins. It is beneficial for you to have your heart in peace and be in a quiet place because the most beautiful moments happen in the most tranquil places and for the most modest minds. It allows you to listen to the sound of rebirth and feel it. After all, everything depends on that one person who can retrieve the good and honest heart.

地質時間上不過彈指之間,我們已由全新世進入人類世。黛安.艾克 曼(Diane Ackerman, 1948-)在《人類時代:我們所塑造的世界》 裡寫道,人們創造了形形色色的新風景,還唯恐眾人不知,因此慣以 「景」字結尾,例如市景、城景、窗景、商場景觀、音景……1。這些 殊異的風景如何成為風景?人類對於所謂風景的定義、對於自我和環 境關係的認知已經有過幾番轉變。曾幾何時,災難風景也成了一種風

調出人和機器攜手共創世界的同時,也如同契約一般共同為世界帶來創傷。「崩解劇場」在幽暗的展場 內藉由作品的配置,營造一個具有舞台效果的帶狀空間,畫作在空間中猶如一幕幕動態影像的定格,迫 使觀者凝視這些以自然作為背景的圖像,在過度靠近卻看不清楚全貌的視野下,器械、測量、鑿取,所 有可被歸納為開發的行動,伴隨著崩塌、傾圮、龜裂的意象,最後以《寂靜之外 030 -滑落的樣式》無 力懸垂的畫布作結。在這裡的「崩解」,藝術家側重的是流動而非毀滅,其不斷變動的意義除了指向地 表面貌變化不已的過程,更有地質基礎鬆弛癱軟的意象。這種面對自然的無力或回天乏術的無能之感, 也有幾分人類歷史至此的哀嘆。 以上兩個系列的創作來自天災給予周代焌的啟示,尤其日本的 311 強震引發了人類史上第二嚴重的核子 災變,也因此,「全球寂靜」系列裡藝術家反省透過媒體中介而理解災難的不及物感,還能容得下幾分 科幻的浪漫,直到「崩解劇場」,巨大的不幸帶來整體潰散的覺悟,套用一句近年響亮的口號──沒有 人是局外人,人類與整個生態同屬土地,不僅只是一種想像。

2017 年周代焌在日本駐村期間,與藝術家友人一起造訪了福島核能災變的區域,這一場短暫而平靜的遭 遇,讓他看到了劫難之後等待著振興的城鎮面貌。安穩的土地看似靜止,但凝止之際卻是混融了重重掩 埋和期待新發的兩股力量。土地和人的創傷隨著汙染的泥土被厚厚刨起,躺在隔絕輻射的保護布之下, 而另一方面,生命繁華的榮景必須從零開始,期待枯槁能再逢春。

2018 年周代焌在「無為而治」個展中呈現的作品,其中數件在日本駐村期間完成,包括《Back to ─載 體之輕》、《Back to ─未來之詩下的羈絆》等,以不裝裱的畫布呈現出暫時性且富有流動意象的場面。 它們是藝術家面對具體事件的敘事性創作,被張掛在展場高處。其意象有如風箏,又像是海上船帆,遠 遠地在觀眾無法近觀的距離飄揚。這些繪畫的不可逼近,隱喻著藝術家在這一個展中所欲強調的是與此 相異且較為抽象的情感呈現。在近距離事件的反饋之外,更著重沉澱省思之後的意見表達。

「前山」系列延續前面幾個創作系列的圖像語言,層層覆蓋卻保持穿透性的色彩堆疊,尤其幾件模板式 構圖之作,有意在一個延續性的結構裡表現歷時性的思維變貌。在畫面中,景觀的意象總被更為剛硬而 絕對的線條霸道地突穿,這些不可抵禦的線條釐定了畫面的基調,在它們所定義的空間之下,高彩度的 色面如同射線縱橫其間,主導著流動和崩陷之勢無可控制的比喻,無聲而壯烈。周代焌在創作上一向擅 長的動勢營造,在「前山」系列亦可見得。而他對於風景的碎片化形構,也堪為當代台灣繪畫近年頗得 藝術家興趣的、如何透過重寫風景進而呈現個人的宇宙觀,其中代表性的一例。

在這次個展的作品之中,周代焌以帳篷串連起整個展場核心意象。它們不僅在畫面中出現,同時以各種 隱喻的形式存在空間的陳設之中。帳篷作為臨時性的住所,它保證了最低限的居住需求,提供人們遮蔽 與休憩。帳篷的機動性也暗示了游擊的生存方式,而其所對抗的可能是人力難以駕馭的荒野自然,可能 是體制巨獸,在此,周代焌以掀開門片的帳篷喻示了人與外在的直面接觸。

面對幾乎無可期待的未來,他或願繼續敞開等待。

It does not take more than a snap of a finger for us to enter a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. According to Diane Ackerman (1948-) in her The Human Age, humans have “created a bounty of new landscapes, and lest the feat be lost on anyone, we even take on the suffix ‘scape’ to describe them,” and these examples include cityscape, townscape, windowscape, mallscape, soundscape, etc 1 . How did these respectively different landscapes become landscape? Human’s definition of landscape, terminologically speaking, as well as the selfknowledge and the knowledge of one’s relationship with the environment have experienced several transitions. We do not know since when but the landscape of disaster has become a category in landscape too, no matter it is a rational thinking based upon a necessary scientific land management to prevent the yet-to-come disaster, or a proof for us to lament for Nature, or a complicated text for the eyes desiring something exotic. When disasters become the object to be viewed or even depicted, how should artists deal with such sudden and unexpected calamities – the overwhelmingly tragic defeat suffered by humans – and their harm to the environment? Or in other words, what kind of philosophy of nature can be achieved through contemporary art’s concern for and exploration of land? Chou adopts a trilogy form to develop a narrative representing the relation between oneself and the environment. The three stages of the series, as shown in “Globe Silent”, “State of Flux”, and “Action Through Inaction”, visualize painter’s take on the external world and how he reflects upon his position in it. His painting often features one important signature, which is how paintings as they are respond to the epoch. Unlike photography or other practices related to mechanically produced images, the painting here in our discussion, as a narrative,

reveals its allegorical character. In “Globe Silent” series, the virtuality of media becomes the dominant theme. The exaggerated, distorted, and absurd images are categorized as landscape, as the artist adopts a painting technique with the attempt to produce a voice by imitating the tone how digital devices speak. Fluorescent colors sparkle against the dark black base, while the manmadeness not only highlights the co-creating of the world between humans and machines but also the mutual trauma as if it were agreed in writing by the two parties. As for “State of Flux”, the exhibition layout in the obscure space with little light creates a stage-like continuity, where each painting becomes a frame as in the moving picture, forcing viewers to gaze into the nature-themed, mostly in background, images. However, since a look too close makes the panoramic view impossible, machines, measurement, mining, and any other actions categorized as “development” are surrounded by images of collapse, falling, sinking, and cracking until everything is brought into a conclusion in the feebly draping canvas in Beyond the Silence 030 – The Falling. The “collapse” here, according to the artist, emphasizes the state of flux rather than its destruction. The constantly changing significance not only points to the endless transformation of the landscape but also the weakened and softened foundation in terms of geology. Such a sense of helplessness that we seem to be so powerless in front of Nature and that there is nothing we can do to alter the situation is a lament for the doom of humans. The two projects mentioned above were inspired by the natural disasters the artist had a strong feeling for, especially the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan which resulted in the second biggest nuclear accident in human history. Therefore, the artist in his “Globe Silent” reexamines and reflects upon the intransitive experience of the mediated disaster, but the lingering sciencefiction romance in the series is later replaced by a realization after everything has been shattered by the overwhelming calamities in ”State of Flux”. Just like the activists shouting “nobody is an outsider,” the fact that humans and the whole ecological system belong to the same land means more than an imagination. During his residence in Japan in 2017, Chou and his artist friends visited the area affected by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The brief and peaceful encounter showed him the spirits of the towns ready to put the disaster behind them for a resurrection. The stable land seemed still and serene, but its crystallization was a mixture of the two forces – the layers of burying and the expectation of a new life. The traumas of the land as well as of humans were dug out in heaps, from deep inside, covered by the nuclear protective cloth. Meanwhile, the blossom of life had to begin from zero again, like the withered waiting for another spring.


Several exhibits for Chou’s 2018 solo exhibition “Action Through Inaction” were completed during his residence in Japan, including Back to – The Lightness of a Carrier and Back to – The Poetic Fetters of the Future. The unmounted canvases represent temporary but yet flowing scenes. They adopt a narrative-based practice in which the artist touches upon specific accidents and events. The imagery, sometimes reminiscent of kites and sometimes of sails on the sea, flaunts in the distance which is impossible for spectators to look at it closely. The unapproachable paintings imply the artist’s desire to accentuate a different, and more abstract, expression of emotions. Apart from the response to the close-range accident/event, he is concerned about the filtered and recollected opinion after a moment of contemplation. His “Beyond the Mountains” series continues the artistic vocabulary of image recurring in his previous works, featuring the amassed layers of colors which are not only to cover but also to penetrate. The modeled composition in particular intends to visualize a chronical transformation of thought within a continuous structure. In the paintings, the image of landscape is often penetrated by sharp and absolute lines in the most tyrannical way. These unstoppable lines decide the fundamental tone of the image. The planes of bright colors extend and emit radiatively until they occupy the space defined by the lines, manipulating the quiet, heroically tragic metaphors of the falling

and flowing collapse that can no longer be controlled. Chou’s skill in creating dynamics, a signature of his artistic practice, is also noticeable in ”Beyond the Mountains“ series. Among many contemporary Taiwanese painters who show an interest in re-depicting landscape as a visualization of their personal worldview, Chou is certainly one of the most distinctive examples with his structurally fragmentized landscape. There is an icon image threading all the exhibits together – the tent. It appears in the paintings physically while its existence can also be found symbolically in the space arrangement. The tent, as a temporal residency, guarantees the minimum demand of living as it also offers humans a shelter and the place to take a rest. The mobility of the tent also suggests a guerilla way of survival, fighting against the wild Nature beyond the grasp of humans, or even the giant beast named “system.” Here, Chou’s tent, with its door lifted open, symbolizes the direct encounter between humans and the outside world. In the face of a future with little to hope for, he would like to continue the waiting without holding back.

周代焌的實驗— 介於自然與環境、風景 與事件之間的繪畫

周代焌作畫的出發點源於一個事實:我們不能只專注自然之美。透過 經驗,藝術家了解到大自然不該總被視為美學的物件;他體認到大自 然的另一個面向,是能將科技文明的進步歸零、重新開始的那一面—— 也就是我們所謂的「災難」。他目睹自然災害可以瞬間摧毀人類引以 為傲的成就,偉大的紀念碑、科技的昌明等,皆可能一夕之間物換星 移、混亂無章。換句話說,他觀看到許許多多如泡沫爆破、瞬逝蒸發,

彷彿一切從未存在過的場面。在 2016 年個展主題名為「崩解劇場」, 「崩解」是他從災難中得到的訊息,大自然對過度開發造成環境的報 復,被資本獲利蒙蔽雙眼的文明是暴力的徵兆等等。藝術家提到:「無 論建築的根基有多深、建物有多高聳,島嶼一旦超載,如災難電影般 的崩塌是無法避免的。」

水泥結構如今不復重現,僅存些許痕跡。


但在他的畫作並非盡是如此。畫面中即使沒有任何美好的元素——平和靜好的夕陽、水車、精緻的庭園、

17 世紀傳統荷蘭風景畫中的林蔭大道等等——我們也不急著將他的作品定義成「災景」,因為他的畫面 結構充滿著動感與生氣,其生動、趣味盎然的筆觸色調會讓你覺得,畫面整體而言實在太活潑了,不該 是份災難報告;你甚至可以稱他的畫「充滿希望」。真實的物件、純表現性的手法、抽象的元素都爽快 地揉合在一起,這些貌似衝突的面相並存在他的畫作裡。

周代焌深刻地意識到,文明征服自然所造成的災害是需要被治癒的。無庸置疑,他思考的是關於崩解重 建與治癒傷痛的反省智慧。為了克服時間緊迫與空間不足,整個文明被省時快速、土地侵略和預測未來 給蒙蔽;災難其實深藏於世人對「尺幅、數量、品質、速度、價格、功率、速率」多方面的焦慮當中, 而其造成的後果則是,我們將人生更多的可能性與自由度拒於門外——托馬斯・墨頓(Thomas Merton,

1915-1968)將此視為末日近了的生活特徵。談到「無為而治」的意義:我們要是順應自然,與大自然 神秘的療癒力量呼應、天人合一,我們便可改善環境、自然亦可踏上自行修復治癒之路。如此一來,傾 頹可用各種方式重建,阻礙將被排除,世人也將和平相處、互助扶持。

即便藝術家面對真實情勢、指責當今現況、提出改善方案,他仍不是中立的記者,亦不是嚴厲的批評者, 或針砭時事的評論家。他的繪畫既不是災難的客觀文件、也不是知識份子的研究成果——我們也不該就 此定義,相較之下其作品更為深刻、精確又廣泛。更重要的是周代焌以一位藝術家的態度,透過災難反 映自然與文明;他談的不只是事件,而是含括事件的風景。他的繪畫不只與風景、事件有關,而是事件 中的風景以及包裝成風景的事件;藝術家的美學意識,是由風景、事件二者,緊密維持著的平衡所構成的。 他透過經歷災難,突破所謂「埋頭閉關在小工作室的現代藝術家」之窘境,成為一位觀察者、一位多面 向文明事件的關注者。周代焌遊走於歷史、社會的間隔空間,企圖尋求新的美學平衡,不被美好的事物 埋沒,也不被對文明批判的偏見所左右。

scape and Incident

Chou Tai-Chun’s paintings start from the fact that they do not focus only on the beauty of nature. Through the artist’s experience, he realizes that nature cannot always be an aesthetic object. He has experienced the other side of nature, which we generally call a ”disaster“ that can reverse the development of our civilization and technology back to square one. He has witnessed natural disasters transforming once proud achievements of human such as monumental landmarks and successful scientific, technological outcomes to uncertainty and chaos. In other words, he has seen many sites instantly bursting like bubbles like it never existed before. The main title of Chou’s solo exhibition in 2016 was “State of Flux”. ”Flux“was the message Chou received from the disasters, which meant that overexploitation of nature results in its revenge and civilization blinded by capital gain is a sign of violence... The artist mentioned, “no matter how deep the foundation is or how tall you build the buildings, at one point when the island is overloaded, the disastrous cinematic collapse is thus unavoidable“. This was the reason behind Chou’s expression of painting overharvested island and vertical land sites into a liquidized landscape of horizontal floating. Chou’s paintings seem like disastrous landscapes. In his paintings, products of urbanism and civilization are torn apart in a demassifying manner. Massive mechanical construction or facilities collapsed tragically are haphazardly entangled. The earth split apart and oil pipelines that once spread on top of it are twisted and ruptured. Winding mountainside roads are cut off here and there and the ever-high concrete structures that once boasted its height are nowhere seen anymore, its trace barely remaining.

15 CHOU Tai-Chun’s Experiments Toward-Paintings in between Nature and Environment, Landscape and Incident


Not all of Chou’s paintings are like such mentioned above. There aren’t any aesthetic elements in his paintings such as peaceful landscape of the sunset, watermill, well-groomed garden, or trees along the street that one might have seen in a traditional 17th century landscape, which originated from the Netherlands. Nevertheless, there is no rush for us to consider Chou’s paintings as ”landscape of disasters“due to the reason that his pictorial construction is very dynamic and lively and his brush strokes and color tones are often too bright to be just a disaster report. If such expression is possible, it may seem ”hopeful“. Realistic representation of objects is happily mixed with pure expressive gestures or abstract elements. In Chou’s paintings, there exists of both sides that seem to be in conflict with each other. It is clear that Chou has a deep awareness about harmful consequences of conquering civilization and its cure. There is also no doubt that his thoughts are based on reflective intelligence in regards to such awareness falling apart, reconstruction and healing of the distressed. According to this, disasters obsess about lack of space and time and in order to conquer this, it resulted in civilization blinded by timesaving, space invading, and predicting the future. Buried by the concerns of ”size, mass, quality, speed, number, price, power, and velocity“, disasters are result of exclusion from other possibilities and freedom. Thomas Merton saw this as a characteristic of living on the brink of apocalypse. Chou continues to set force meaningful discourses about “Action through Inaction”. He claims that even now if we listen to ”the course of Nature“, correspond and be in harmony with its mysterious power of healing, we can change the environment and step in the path of nature’s self-healing. Through this, the once fallen can be erected again in a different way, flowing will reoccur among the stuck, and people will comfort and help each other without any conflicts. Even if Chou faces the reality, accuses our current time, and suggests alternative ways, he is not a neutral reporter, harsh accuser or a critic of such incidents or situations. In addition, his paintings are neither objective document of disasters nor research based on intellectual foundings. The things we are dealing with from his works cannot be defined as such. It is more profound, delicate, comprehensive, and realistic than that and the most important thing is Chou’s attitude as an artist who reflects on nature and civilization through disasters. He is not dealing with just the incidents; he also deals with landscapes that are embracing the incidents in itself. As a matter of fact, Chou’s paintings are not just about incidents or landscapes, they are landscapes within incidents at the same time incidents dressed up as landscapes. The artist’s aesthetic awareness is formed upon intimate balance between the two. Through experiences of disasters, Chou Tai-Chun as an artist goes beyond the bounds of ”an artist in a modernistic sense who is confined in his or her small atelier“. He sets out to become an observer or a watcher of extensive civilizational incidents. By crossing between the space of historical and social separation, he is seeking the balance of new aesthetic that is not buried by aesthetic of objects or phenomenon and not biased by criticism on civilization.

因此周代焌所呈現出來的災難場景中,融合了不屬於災難的炫目色彩,以及混著 真實地景的超凡形式。從他在台灣所觀察到大大小小的災難中,他發覺情況會依 循著這個接口而有所不同,也就是說,要視「如何傳達、接受與結合,以及傳達、 接受與結合什麼」而定,而非災難本身質與量的細節。他在畫布上所揭示的正是 相互接合的狀態。 當謠言四散,蔥翠的綠葉蠶食著整個畫面,在那看似完美遮掩的昏暗厚帳幕後, 有什麼事件正蠢蠢欲動。越是因嗅到危機的逼近而試圖抓緊與掩蓋它,它反而越 容易竄出。當衝破臨界點,巨大的樹幹像是不受控的真相,狠狠岔出。那些凹痕, 看起來像是植物被拉扯後在表面上留下的傷痕,被融合了各種界限與思緒的繽紛 黏土和線材縫補起來。 他並不是以再現或幻象為目的。如同搭帳、搭篷,或者拉起布條似的,在無框畫 布上所完成的作品帶出一種為舞台揭開序幕的節奏。作品在觀者面前被「搬上銀 幕或者被表演出來」,彷彿是在安全的戲院中欣賞一齣劇。白色的方塊則是觀者 所面對的實際情況,而作品成了另一個將內容對調的「接口」。 在首爾的秋季裡,反覆思索著展覽的命題,假想著:「若是在首爾的這段時間裡 發生了無法預期的事情呢?」在他離開首爾的前幾天,浦項的確發生了地震,且 傳遍整個朝鮮半島,包括首爾在內。在作品的畫面中,我們可以看見他所觀察到 工作室周遭的風景碎影,而他所看見的,或許還比一個多年來天天經過鐘路區的 上班族來得更加精準。 在 2016 年舉辦完個展之後,周代焌便赴韓國與日本駐村。在這一年當中,他必 然造訪了更多地方、遇見更多人、經歷更多事情,且感受更多。繪畫與說出的話 語和寫出的文字不同,不受國家與國家之間的限制,但也並非一定無阻。即使他 在生活周遭中發現許多素材,他總能有邏輯且有架構地將其運用。本次展出的作 品內容更全面也更抽象。對於一位處理視覺語言,且致力於探索更廣的議題、以 更自然的方式傳達訊息給更多人的藝術家而言,這無疑是一個嘔心瀝血的過程。 其傳遞的訊息比起以往帶有更多希望,如俗話所說,「苦盡甘來」、「時間是撫 平傷痛的良藥」,受傷後能療癒,災難後便是重建,這還是一個值得盡情去活的 世界。

Rather More Real

69 The Unreal is Rather More Real


“Don’t you understand the situation?” “Situation” is certainly a word often used, but it is actually not easy to grasp the meaning. The scope of the word is so comprehensive, and in addition, it is made up of a lot of information coming from outside. “Outside” is an abbreviation for something “in need of change”. Change means reproduction of information, which is usually difficult to maintain a good direction. Rather than avoiding distortion and complementing for sharing, the positions and views of the innumerable agents of reproduction act in spite of themselves as new pollution and deterioration. And to make things worse, if various intentions come in, confusion is inevitable. For example, it is not only buildings that are shaken by an earthquake. A train of rumors coming simultaneously from a myriad of unknown sources lead to confusion, and all kinds of misleading media reports invite even greater confusion. Geological perturbation spreads out to become perturbation o f p e rce p t i o n a n d co m m u n i ca t i o n , f i n a l ly to shake society as a whole. The “actual earthquake situation” is quite different from the cliché in our head, and the reality increasingly turns into the unreal. We often hear from people who have experienced disasters saying, “it was unreal.” The world of science fiction is not somewhere far away. The rumors and misleading news that crop up here and there bear witness that the boundary between the real and the surreal is not so clear. The unreal scene is actually more realistic. So the scene of disaster that Chou Tai-Chun presents is compromised by dazzling colors that would not fit in with the disaster at all, and by some transcendental forms mixed with the landscape of reality. Through the big and small disasters that he has observed in Taiwan, he realized that the situation depends on this interface, that is, on “how and what to communicate, accept, and combine”, rather than on the quantitative/qualitative details of the disaster itself. What he unfolds on the canvas is the scene that has been through the interface.

As rumors spread, the lush green leaves are encroaching on the canvas. Something is about to spring up through the thick and darkish tent that seems to be perfect for covering and hiding anything. The more you try to hold on tight and press it, sensing the crisis approaching, the easier it paradoxically becomes to pierce it. The moment the threshold is reached, the giant tree trunk stretches out like a truth that can no longer be controlled. The dents, which look like scratches on the surface of a plant encroached upon by tension, are stitched up with colorful putty and thread mixed with various boundaries and thoughts.

71 The Unreal is Rather More Real


He does not aim for representation or illusion. As if pulling tight a tent, a pavilion, or a banner, the work done on the frame-less canvas produces a tempo that resembles a tent or a curtain that announces the opening of the stage. The work is “screened or performed” in front of the audience as if it were a film enjoyed in a safe theater. The white cube is the actual situation that the audience is faced with, and the work becomes another “interface” to exchange the contents.


The leitmotif of the exhibition, prepared over the autumn in Seoul, is the assumption that “what if something unexpected happens in the middle of Seoul?” A few days before he left Seoul, an earthquake did occur in Pohang, and the vibration was heard throughout Seoul as well as across the Korean peninsula. Here and there in the canvas we see pieces of scenery around the studio where he stayed. Yet what he saw is probably more accurate than the scene that an office worker in Jongno saw, who had been passing by the area for a number of years. After the solo exhibition in 2016, Chou TaiChun went over to Korea and Japan to work as a resident artist. Over the year, he must have visited many more places, met more people, experienced many things, and felt a lot. Unlike spoken or written languages, painting is not bound by the barriers between nations. That does not mean it always works well. Although he has found many subject matters from his surroundings, he has always had the logic and the framework to apply universally. The images to be exhibited this time may be more comprehensive and more abstract. This is a painstaking effort of an artist who deals with visual language to cover broader issues and convey messages more naturally to more people. The message is more hopeful than before. “Sweetness follows bitterness”, “Time is a great healer,” as the saying goes. Since the wound is followed by healing and the disaster by recovery, it is still a world worth living in.

無為 而治 文

周代焌 在我處理關於環境議題的脈絡與發 展 上, 從 2011 年 開 始 的《 全 球 寂 靜

001 -災難的前序》談起,就如議題發 展時間軸上的首部曲,展開虛擬網路中 對於觀看訊息的想像,開始對媒體所報 導的災難議題產生關注,但因現實距離 而僅能藉由網路媒介進而了解片段的訊 息,也因為如此我對於「災場」更有一 種想像,這並不是期待發生的心態,而 更像是回應媒體訊息的反思。 而在二部曲 2016 年個展「崩解劇場」 中,呈現的是人類對環境的過度消耗, 企圖去形塑一股巨大且不安定的氛圍。 崩解的概念來自於災難下的瓦解,這種 瓦解就像是地貌處於流動的狀態,過度 開發下,島嶼上不論人工或自然物等這 些植被,都像是液態般地流動。不論你 挖得多深、建得多高,當無法負載的景 況產生時,可能如同電影情節般崩解的 畫面就會出現,而我就是正在模擬液態 島嶼崩毀的種種情節。

來到終章的三部曲時,「無為而治」系 列作品延續了多年關心的議題,進而將 自身情感內化其中,抒發及關懷土地的 修復與治癒。在我們觀看著表象之下的 山脈,背後所潛藏的事件,這些事件指 的是「環境」面對人們的超荷負載,將 其擬人化後所展現的情感宣洩,在面對 無止盡的耗損之下,大自然的反撲必然 成 為 一 種 常 態。 但 即 使 造 成 了 傷 痕, 不強作妄為,順應自然的態度,自然也 會循著秩序而修補治癒。而取其名也是 將老子對於無為而無不為的概念挪其所 用,如果人不依自然本性行事,完全按 照人的功利原則去設置行動目標並為實 現這一目標而採取盲目行為,那就必然 導致人性的異化,產生大量的虛偽、醜 惡和荒誕現象。

The narrative of the environmental agenda in my works begins with Globe Silent 001 – The Disaster Is Coming in 2011. It is like the first episode, chronologically to develop the agenda, opening up the imagination of how we “view” the information in the virtual space. As it begins to pay attention to the disasters reported by media, the distance in reality limits our understanding to the fragmentized information offered by Internet media. Such a contrast evokes something within me to reimagine “disasters.” By saying that I do not mean to expect, but in a more precise way, to respond to and reflect on these mediated disaster-related messages. The following episode is the solo exhibition “State of Flux” in 2016, in which I try to visualize an immense, unsettling atmosphere as a result of humans’ overexploitation of Nature. The word “flux” refers to the collapse caused by disasters, reminiscent of the geological state of flux. On this overharvested island, both the artificial and natural vegetation are flowing like a liquid. No matter how deep the foundation is or how tall you build the buildings, at one point when the island is overloaded, the disastrous cinematic collapse is thus unavoidable. What I am doing in the works is to simulate every possible scenario of a liquidized island collapsing.

The third chapter, which is also the concluding one, “Action Through Inaction,” is the continuation of this long-term artistic exploration. The series features the internalization of emotions and feelings to express the concern for the land to be healed. When we are viewing the mountains, under their appearance hides the occurrence of the environment’s emotional release after it personifies the overloads with human activities. The endless exploitation makes Nature’s counter-attack the most ordinary scene. However, even though the harm is done now, if we adopt an action through inaction, following the course of Nature, Nature will heal itself in accordance with the laws of the Universe. The title of the series is borrowed from Laozi’s idea of “having arrived at this non-inaction, there is nothing that he does not do.” If human action is not motivated by true Nature but our own interest, making “benefit” our only goal and acting blindly to fulfill the goal, the result is the unavoidable alienation of humanity, followed by phenomena of hypocrisy, obscenity, and absurdity everywhere.

With the passage of time, my artistic concern has been growing into various means of visualizations. Although it seems to adopt an expression similar to the works for my previous solo exhibition, the rational rendering this time is further enveloped by the abstract emotional atmosphere. The self-personification and internalization throughout the artmaking process materialize the deep and strong feelings in the works, with an attempt to encourage viewers, through images, to reexamine how humans can have a harmonized relationship with each other, with Nature, and with a complex, constantly changing living environment, in order to achieve the greatest benefits, we can hope for from a harmonized environment and society.

CHOU Tai-Chun 1986 born in Hsinchu, Taiwan

Chou Tai-Chun received his MFA degree with a specialization in painting from the Taipei National University of the Arts in 2012. His artworks have become a part of various domestic and foreign museum collections. Chou’s paintings have been selected for the Made in Taiwan – Art Taipei Young Artist Discovery in 2012. His solo exhibition named the “State of Flux” was installed in Taipei Fine Arts Museum in 2016. From the earlier series of works “Globe Silent” and the series “Beyond the Silence”, which the artist has been working on since 2011, to the series “Back to” and “Beyond the Mountains” so far in 2018, Chou Tai-Chun has been gradually constructing a unique visual experience and imagination manifesting itself in the era the artist is living in now. He uses different ways to expands his artworks from paintings to installation arts to represent his perspectives on the environmental issues of the universe. Although the science-fictional setting and atmosphere he is portraying seems to be remote from reality, yet there are few signifiers in his paintings alluding to the current situation of the world. He had an experience for International Residency Exchange in OCI Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea and BankART Studio NYK, Yokohama, Japan. His artworks are in the collection of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei Fine Arts Museum and White Rabbit Gallery in Sydney. He currently lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan.
