2015 Digital Art Curatorial Exhibition Program: Your Closed Eyes My Extinction
Amidst clashes between social movements and emotional issues, our elusive creative space continues to intersect with reality, with the root of our emotions the soul of creativity, allowing our voices for these emotional issues to be projected from cyber space to reality. With the launch of 鈥淐oexist鈥� in 2014, we have been showcasing our personal emotions, thoughts, and experiences through sharing our art on the Internet. Our first physical exhibition, 鈥淐oexist+Exhibition-Death at Daybreak鈥�, was held at FreeS Art Space in 2015, with an analogy made between the journey of traversing from the cyber space to reality and the process of searching for love. With identities and roles taken on by artists becoming more widely accepted, somehow there still exists a type of love that is unacceptable, despite the fact that it is found all around us.
We have arrived at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts today, where we will continue with discussions on love and further examine conditions related to gender issues. "Your Closed Eyes My Extinction" is a political manifesto on love, and it is a form of politics of love that is manifesto-like. We, people that are passionate about creating art, have abandoned stances set by conventional definitions and have decided to focus on issues that are integral to our experiences in life. Through semiotics, images, thoughts on sexual antagonism, and creative media, discussions will be conducted on everyday people鈥檚 thoughts on how gender identification is constructed and practiced through everyday behaviors.
In today鈥檚 digital era of information explosion, viewers have the tendency to unconsciously become subjects of other people鈥檚 subjective interpretations. Artists are not exempt from such phenomenon and are also part of the group at the receiving end, where they are subjected to listening and reading. However, artists are also able to process everything from a spectator鈥檚 perspective and become the Other in the mediated realm, and with information transmitted from the media and listeners/readers positioned at the receiving end, artworks derived from this are aimed at prompting different outlooks in the audience.
Featuring Artists: Chang Po-Chieh, Chen Han-Sheng, Hsu Rae-Ping, Lai Tsung-Yun, Lee Kuan-Yi, Peng Jheng-Wei, Wang Po-Yen, Wen Hsin and Yu Hui-Yu.
