KOHA 展覽|臺南市美術館《『拋爾控固力:島嶼現代性之夢 Power! Concrete! Let’s Build the Island’s Modern Dream!》

RGB 1

本館曾於2020年展出「島嶼生活與地景:檳榔、甘蔗、香蕉、椰子樹」嘗試透過生長於臺灣的經濟作物,重建臺灣美術史之中的地景觀點。本次的展覽「拋爾控固力:島嶼現代性之夢」則是希望更進一步討論島嶼之上的工業轉型,及其對於臺灣生活與藝術創作的影響。

 

“Everyday Life and Landscapes of the Island: Betel Nuts, Bananas, Sugar Cane, and Palms”, an exhibition previously held at the museum in 2020, attempted to reconstruct the concept of landscape in Taiwan’s art history through local economic crops. This exhibition, “Power! Concrete! Let’s Build the Island’s Modern Dream!”, seeks to further discuss the industrial transformation on the island and its impact on Taiwan’s lifestyle and artistic creativity.

展覽介紹

自日治時代以來,歷代政權於島嶼之上所進行的工業化建設,一方面滿足了政權自身的需求,卻同時將臺灣推向了現代化的步伐。從日治時期的基礎建設一直到戰後的十大建設,臺灣自戰後初期的貧窮社會脫胎換骨為曾經的「亞洲四小龍」之一。近年來更隨著高科技產業的發展及高鐵等基礎建設的推動,臺灣島已儼然成為一座工商業高度成長的已開發之島。

 

Since the era of Japanese rule, successive regimes’ industrialization projects on the island have not merely fulfilled a given regime’s own needs; in fact, industrialization has driven Taiwan towards the process of modernization. From the infrastructure construction boom during the Japanese colonial period to the post-war Ten Major Construction Projects, Taiwan has transformed itself from being a weak economic power during the early post-war stage to one of the Four Asian Tigers. With the development of high-tech industry and the deployment of core infrastructure such as high-speed rail in recent years, Taiwan has become a developed country with high industrial and commercial growth.

 

然而當臺灣藝術家必須面對時代的推進,及其所造成的景觀改變,藝術家們要如何挑戰並描繪這些工業時代的景觀及題材?且當島民開始熱切追求更快、更高、更大、更便利之時,是否這座逐漸被控固力(水泥)所禁錮的島嶼,已不再是昔日人們所驚嘆的「福爾摩沙,美麗之島」?

 

However, when faced with the landscape changes resulting from such progress, how do artists in Taiwan challenge and depict the landscape and themes of industrialization? When residents of the island begin demanding speed and convenience, alongside bigger and taller buildings, is this concrete-imprisoned island still the Beautiful Formosa at which people would marvel?

 

「拋爾控固力:島嶼現代性之夢」一展嘗試以各種角度來重新省思臺灣的工業化及現代化進程:在展覽中,我們可以看到林玉山及李奇茂等前輩畫家如何使用傳統媒材描繪臺灣的工業景觀;我們也可以看到中堅世代畫家,如陳水財及陸先銘等人,如何將臺灣的工業景觀轉化為當代繪畫的視覺語言。除此之外,許多當代藝術家,亦於本展中展出他們對於這座工業之島的情懷、諷刺及逃逸。

 

“Power! Concrete! Let’s Build the Island’s Modern Dream” attempts to re-examine the process of industrialization and modernization in Taiwan from various angles. At the exhibition, we can see how senior artists such as Lin Yu-shan and Li Chi-mao used traditional media to depict Taiwan’s industrial landscape; we can also see how the hardcore artists Chen Shui-tsai and Lu Hsien-ming translated Taiwan’s industrial landscape into the artistic language of contemporary painting. On top of these recognized names, the exhibition features works by many contemporary artists showcasing their feelings — including satire and resistance — towards this industrial island.

 

現代化及工業化並非僅帶來滿天的塵土,臺灣人的生活方式及休閒風格,也在無形之間因現代化的進程而被改變:從搭乘鐵路時用來填飽肚子的便當,到今日讓大家得以自由出國旅行的國際機場,這些工業化建設同時也乘載著我們的美好記憶。

 

Modernization and industrialization carry with them not only dust blotting out the sky; these forces equally influence the lifestyle and leisure activities of the people in Taiwan. From the bento boxes that fill the stomach during rail travels, to the international airports that allow us to travel abroad conveniently, these industrial constructions also harbor our fond memories of the past.

 

本展的目的並非一味謳歌現代建設,也並非僅侷限於重返尚未被現代建設所「玷汙」的美好鄉土;而是嘗試在即將邁入「後工業」時代的臺灣,重新思考我們所共同經歷過的工業進程,以及這些工業記憶如何重塑我們所認識的家園,進而成為島民共同的記憶及風景。

 

This exhibition is not about glorifying modern constructions, nor is it constrained to the beautiful scenery left unsullied by modern development. At the time of Taiwan’s transition into the post-industrial era, the exhibition attempts to rethink the industrial process that we have been through, and to reflect upon how these industrial memories reshaped our homeland and become the new scenery in our common memory.
