展覽介紹
藉由渴望尋找同樣出生自白色恐怖家庭的熟齡女兒們相互了解的企圖,才得以逐步共同完成這個屬於私密難言的女性個體視角映像展出,藉此掀開源自國家暴力與社會外力滲入家庭內部的影響,亦是試圖對大歷史下許多被忽略或犧牲的女性生命小史,進行一次自體外翻的高難度藝術展演。其中涉及真實母女關係與人際互動和價值觀等細微切片,也涵蓋各自求生過程而出現的怪異荒誕遭遇與奇想。展出者包含視覺藝術、戲劇、文學、生死學、書寫療癒、藝術行政管理等專業背景以及專業的家庭主婦成員。 原本分散、隱藏在社會中,極少連結主動發聲的我們,將展名擷取自華裔作家譚恩美編劇,王穎所導電影「喜福會」的原英文片名“Joy Luck Club”,借譯化身為「喬‧伊拉克希」之名,猶如一個陌生外國人般憋扭、莫名,卻又如此盼望著愉悅與幸運的特殊女性族群。此刻我們將各自的生命遊歷感知,透過藝術與書寫,希望點亮一場能夠彼此映照內外亦兼具療癒功效的鏡中花園。 展出期間搭配五場座談以及白色恐怖相關影音出版品的公共閱讀區規劃,冀望形成另類補充白色恐怖的藝術材料與檔案,延伸過往台灣歷史脈絡對傷痕美學、性別與社會等各種角度的深入探究。這是一個觀眾可以近身碰觸台灣白色恐怖歷史殘餘的藝術現場。 |
Curatorial Statement
The realization of this exhibition of private and difficult to articulate feminine perspectives is made possible through the intention of searching for and the mutual understanding between matured daughters of White Terror victims. Also, internal impacts on households that were inflicted by state violence and social forces are also exposed, with the objective of conducting a highly challenging art presentation of self-eversion for the lives of women that are often overlooked and compromised in the course of history. Encompassed within are micro sections of actual mother-and-daughter kinships and interpersonal interactions and values, and also included are bizarre encounters and fantasies of survival. Contributors of the exhibition include those with professional backgrounds in visual art, theater, literature, thanatology, writing therapy, arts administration and management, and also professional homemakers. Members of this group that are usually dispersed, hidden in society and rarely connect together to make our voices heard have titled this exhibition after the book, Joy Luck Club, written by Chinese-American writer Amy Tan, which was adapted into a film directed by Wayne Wang. Through art and writing, each contributor’s unique life experiences are presented, with the hope of shedding light on this mirror garden that is intended to reflect on both the internal and external realms, while also offering therapeutic effects. Five seminars and a public reading area with audio-visual publications on the subject of White Terror are also arranged in conjunction with the exhibition, with the agenda of providing different supplementary artistic outlooks and materials for White Terror, which extends into further in-depth investigations of the various perspectives for trauma aesthetics, gender and social issues based on Taiwan’s historical context. This is an art scene where the audience can personally come into contact with the historical residues from the period of White Terror in Taiwan. |
