Water Ciphers: a hidden message in the water -- work for "Art in Chungli" Project 水的密碼 ("藝遊中壢上河圖"作品)

水的密碼 Water Ciphers

 Statement :

Water is the source of life. Hidden in water are messages for life, which then being encoded into different lifeforms and various organisms. The Old Street River, located at the downtown area of Chungli, Taoyuan, has been running all the way from the upstream town Longtan, and carried many possibilities of new life. Guarding the Old Street River is to guard the creatures coming from the water and the environment where are home to these creatures as well as the human kind.

The work consists of three parts: the flying feathers on grassland, the mini woods, and the little fish in shoals being installed along the railings of the riverbank. This work is made by artist Julie Chou with the collaboration of Water Environment Patrolling Team on the Old Street River in Chungli and Hsing Guo Elementary School kids.

Water plays such an important role in all lives and it seems that all lifeforms contain the hidden message from water. I use forms of wings, plants and fish to represent the transformative manifestation of this hidden message, trying to get people's attention to care for the river.

水是生命之源。水中藏著生命的密碼，以不同的生命形式呈顯在各種生物形體中。

老街溪一路蜿蜒，也孕育了許多生命的可能。守護老街溪，正是守護著這些生命，以及和這些生命相關的環境、我們生存其中的家園。

此作包含三組內容：草原上的「飛羽」、小樹苗區，和河畔欄杆上的悠遊小魚群，由藝術家和水環境巡守隊、興國國小共同製作。

 

Daily Pottery -- an exhibition of ceramic works by disabled people

Daily Pottery is an exhibition showing the pottery works by disabled people. It is the outcome of 2 workshops that I led and worked, with people who have visual or hearing disabilities, during the residency in Treasure Hill Artist Village in July. Seven office interns from THAV and TAV for summer season curated the show collectively. The works are installed with care and beautiful lighting, and very thoughtful arrangements. A very nice exhibition worth to pay a visit. I'm honored to be in this project. Below are photos from THAV's FB pages:

Two photos show the workshop for hearing-disabled people. But I was too busy to take any photos at the workshop for visually disabled people.

Unfortunately THAV doesn't have any English info for this exhibition. Here I post Chinese version as follows,

日日陶冶｜視聽障捏陶公益展／／Daily Pottery

8月6日下午9:46 ·

視障者與聽障者透過各種方式，去感知外在世界。在工作坊中，以他們的方式與人交流、也與手中的陶土對話。因此展覽也以多元的形式呈現，嘗試打破視覺的侷限，以各種不同的感官，來體驗日常藝術。
人與泥土的關係密不可分，泥土可以用來建蓋屋宇，可製成甕罐等生活器具。在日常生活的場域中對於「土」運用雖有不同，但對泥土的認同與感情卻無二致。「土」不僅紀錄創作者當下的軌跡，輕巧或厚重，平滑或粗糙的質感更構成一種層次的豐富性。
在此次工作坊中，視障與聽障人士的心靈通過手與來自大地的泥土的觸碰，與自然實現最為直接的溝通。在創作過程中將個體經驗融入，實現自我表達，同時藉由「陶土」為媒材拓展感官體驗。
本展覽分為「器物之美」、「感官延伸」、「象外之韻」、「見微知著」四個單元。在展示視聽障人士作品的同時，旨在提出一種「非視覺藝術」概念即嘗試打破視覺的侷限來認識藝術，強調聽覺、觸覺、嗅覺與知覺利用性。增加開發多元感官操作與認知方法轉化視覺為主導的模式。這是一種失明人士也能參與的藝術，同時鼓勵健視人士運用視覺以外的感官接觸、理解藝術。

日日陶冶｜視聽障捏陶公益展／／Daily Pottery

8月7日下午12:05 ·

這個展覽展出二十三位視聽障參與者在手捏陶工作坊的創作。
在工作坊中透過各種方式，去感知外在世界，因此展覽也以多元的形式呈現，提出「非視覺藝術」的概念，嘗試打破視覺的侷限，開發觸覺、聽覺、嗅覺感官來體驗日常藝術。
展場有「作品觸感體驗」，牆上有凸出的圖案讓觀眾以觸感去認知作品；視頻播放區，介紹工作坊和側錄；「來摸摸我」鼓勵觀眾可以把手伸進去三個神秘的箱子裡面！體驗只有觸感的嘗試，放下對於視覺的依賴；最後是「留言區」，開放觀眾在葉子便利貼上留言，並貼在牆上樹的圖案上，促進創作者和觀眾的交流。
