萬縷千絲 Thousands of Threads 

展覽簡介 Overview

  「纖維」是一種既古老又當代的生活工藝與創作方式，從線繩的製作、到布面的編織，數不盡的方法與科技使用，傳承了豐富的文化歷史也表現出不同時期人類對於材料應用的智慧。以不同媒材交織融合的創作，不僅將材料技術注入在生活美學當中，也將個人及家族的故事轉化成具有象徵意義及藝術性的作品。

    本展以主題「萬縷千絲」作為2023-24策展計畫「穿越交會區」的最終篇章，透過藝術家們的巧思探討創作過程中所穿越的地方實境、文化淵源以及自然生態。

   《穿越交會區-萬縷千絲》不只表現材料的美感與形態，更希望能讓傳統工藝與當代藝術的精神銜接對話，透過多樣性的空間裝置藝術作品述說這群來自印尼、韓國及台灣各地的藝術家們如何遊走於材料研究、技術傳承、個人情感及文化符碼之間，將作品幻化成詩意的綜合體。她/他們的思想與手感穿梭時空在多元文化語彙之間引領我們觀察當下，並同時回看社會演變的歷程。

"Fiber" is an ancient and contemporary craft and creative method, encompassing the making of threads to the weaving of fabrics. Countless techniques and technologies are used, inheriting rich cultural history and demonstrating the wisdom of different periods in human application of materials. The creation of works through the interweaving and fusion of various media not only incorporates material technology into life aesthetics but also transforms personal and family stories into symbolic and artistic works.

This exhibition, themed "Thousands of Threads", serves as the final chapter of the 2023-24 curatorial project "Crossing Ecotones". It explores the real-life settings, cultural origins, and natural ecology encountered in the creative process through the ingenuity of the artists.

"Crossing Ecotones: Thousands of Threads" not only showcases the beauty and form of materials but also aims to connect and dialogue the spirit of traditional crafts and contemporary art. Through diverse spatial installation artworks, it tells how artists from Indonesia, Korea, and various regions of Taiwan navigate between material research, technical inheritance, personal emotions, and cultural codes, transforming their works into poetic composites. Their thoughts and tactile perceptions traverse time and space within a multilingual cultural context, leading us to observe the present while reflecting on the process of social evolution.
