STATEMENT
The exhibition titled The Song of Melancholy present Meng-shu You’s studio practices since 2017. She attempts to explore the anxiety and depression behind the sprit that deals with the theme of authority and deconstruction by using “toys” as the key point to engage with ceramics, sculpture and already made stuffs.
As everyone’s growing up memories, toys are always our close friends. Nowadays, toys also represent the phenomenon of capitalism or the ideology of cultural icons. By using the contemporary visual strategies such as decolor, decay and reform, Meng-shu tried to deconstruct the general perspectives of “lego bricks” that would underline the issues of melancholy in artistic way.
