安卓藝術很榮幸能呈現台灣 60 多歲這輩的重要藝術家李明則於畫廊空間

李政勇

的首次個展「拾到寶」，這場個展我們前後等待了五年，終於在 2020 年這個 關鍵的歷史時刻裡將它具體地落實出來，心中充滿著無數的喜悅和感動。還

記得 2015 年初，我在藝術家石晉華的引薦下來到李明則的工作室拜訪，然

這幾年因為展覽項目的合作，我經常到訪李明則的工作室，而每隔一段

PREFACE Andre Lee

Mind Set Art Center is honored to present “Serendipity”, the first-ever solo exhibition of Lee Ming-tse, one of the most important senior artists in Taiwan. After waiting for five years, the team at the gallery is delighted to finally bring the exhibit to life in 2020, a pivotal year for many. Artist Shi Jin-Hua first brought me to Lee’s studio in early 2015.

Later on that summer, our gallery was fortunate enough to present Lee’s work for the first time in “ReVision: MSAC 5th Anniversary Special Presentation”. In 2018, we launched “The Play of a Taiwan Ranger”, a solo show of Lee’s artwork, at Art Basel Hong Kong. All the previous collaborations have led us to “Serendipity”.

My collaborations with Lee in recent years gave me the opportunity to frequent his studio in Kaohsiung City’s Dashu District. Every time I visited, I’d see new treasures in his studio, including the many scavenged items and the artworks he’s made based on them. These “treasures” not only carry traces of a bygone era, they allow Lee to project his memories and love for objects. Furthermore, Lee implicitly expresses his life philosophy in the process of turning waste into treasure. Lee has created a series of artworks by forming paper pulp around different objects. In the process of collecting, planning and transforming the objects, Lee expresses his care for humanity and society. His attention and care not only breathes new life into the objects that have long lost their luster, the creative process also allows him to continue to explore the story of “Dandy”, his trademark character, in the martial arts world known as Jianghu.

While Lee’s creative process starts with the collection of vintage items, it is vastly different from western art philosophy. Object-based art creation in the west started in Dada, and it evolved into post-WWII Neo-Dada, to Pop Art, to Assemblage. Its core focus is the criticism on consumerist society and the objects are used and interpreted at their face value. On the other hand, Lee’s philosophy is rooted in the centuries-long Chinese tradition in which people develop and project a profound sense of affection onto objects that accompany them for a long time. Lee expresses such sentiment with contemporary creative techniques. And by doing so, his work has presented new facets and possibilities for Taiwan’s contemporary art.

The Verge of Nostalgia: on Lee Ming-tse’s Serendipity Chen Shui-tsai

行介入，令依附其上的老物或斑痕得以征服時間的傾頹。物件上的紋理在作

Antiques, Vintage Objects, Junk Artist Lee Ming-tse presents his new creations in Serendipity, his latest solo exhibit.

It is arranged like a film about vintage objects, where memories quietly emerge as time slowly passes by in the story. Folklore permeates the air and breaks the staleness of everyday life.

A few years ago, Lee Ming-tse built his own reclusive residence in Kaohsiung City’s Dashu District. He fills his space with potted plants, vintage objects and all kinds of deserted items that he randomly picked up. The room, along with the scattered items, becomes an isolated space that blurs the boundaries between art and life. The artist wanders around in this space all day long to search for the traces of time among the vintage items while savoring each remaining bits of it. The surfaces on most of the vintage items have begun to peel off due to age, including rusted metal pieces, cracked concrete boards, and rotten tree with deep grooves. The seasoned fire bowl and the cracked teapot accentuate the purity and bitterness of different tea leaves. As we spend some time with the artist, we can see that he’s enamored with the beauty of vintage objects while savoring the passing of time.

Serendipity, as the title of the exhibition, not only outlines the materials and theme of his artistic creation, it also hints at the tone of his art in general. Lee has always been fascinated with collecting vintage objects, he searches for anything that connects to his memories. Collecting objects is an essential part of life for Lee, a man who’s obsessed with these items. Other than objects of folk art tradition, his collection also includes a sculpted board of meridian chart, Taoism images, as well as deserted items such as a broken iron pot, pieces of rusted metal, the skeleton of a chair, cracked concrete boards, among others. For the artist, everything he scavenges is considered treasure, whether it is folk artworks, vintage objects, rotten trees and discarded items.

Objects forged in time ends up being unique, much like the life of every individual.

Romanticists believe that ruins can evoke strong feelings because remnants of the past are shocking to the senses. As time passes by, vintage objects keep telling old stories to keep the memories alive. Even if the clock somehow could be turned back, the vibrant colors would have still faded over time. Hidden inside the vintage objects are the interpersonal connections that once were in an old, decrepit world. The sporadic rumors

I saw a lot of traditional Chinese scroll paintings, such as the one about the Great Wall in the National Palace Museum. I later on thought that, since my paintings share some similarities with comic books, painting on long scrolls would allow me to flesh out an entire story on just one piece of paper. For instance, many comics are shown in a series, as episode one, two, three, and so on. So I paint the entire story on a single piece of scroll paper and it resembles the episodic format of comic books. It is as if I draw episode one, two, three, and go from there.

About this character … I often saw a character like him when I watched local theatre and glove puppetry during my younger days.

And out of the blue, I turned the canvas up-side-down and found a new and interesting angle. After this experiment, I felt that could walk a different path and there’s no need to conform to conventions. (Making the up-side-down painting) was an important little experience.

The southern region of Taiwan has been a source of inspiration for your work. You grew up in the south, and much of your media is gathered in the south, and you returned to settle in the south after spending years in Taipei, in northern Taiwan.

You once even said that “I love Taiwan and love southern Taiwan even more” at your exhibition. What is it about southern Taiwan that attracts you so much?

Outside of traditional canvases, you often choose very different media - some of your paintings are made on paper pulp and chopped wood, some are even painted on scavenged materials. Why are you media so varied?

And out of the blue, I turned the canvas up-side-down and found a new and interesting angle. After this experiment, I felt that could walk a different path and there’s no need to conform to conventions. (Making the up-side-down painting) was an important little experience.

The southern region of Taiwan has been a source of inspiration for your work. You grew up in the south, and much of your media is gathered in the south, and you returned to settle in the south after spending years in Taipei, in northern Taiwan.

The lifestyle in southern Taiwan tends to be nonchalant, and the work I made is like this as well. The environment and life have become the main source of inspiration for me.

It has been 40 years since you won your first award. How has your work evolved during this time? And are you still following your inspiration naturally?

Yes, I try to adhere to a Zen-like attitude, much like a monk would. I’m trying to understand what others are thinking without a conversation. I’m trying to speak less since I’m not good at talking. At this stage of my life, I am looking to understand this world through thoughts and feelings. This is what I’d like to achieve at this stage of my life.
