Our Home – Artists Group Exhibition丨Wang Tingyu, Lin Baoling, Hsi Shihpin, and Hsu Chihchi
2020年一場全球人類面臨的病毒風暴，阻斷了大多數的連結。國與國間的貿易停滯，人與人的接觸禁止，人們被迫關在自己的屋子裡，長時間跟疫情對抗。然而，這場疫情也使得多年在國外打拼的人們紛紛歸巢，回到熟悉的家鄉，回到家人的懷抱。重新適應新生活之時，家人之間的溝通與相處，居家品質的維護與提升，也成為我們更加重視的命題。
展名「溫叨」取自台語「我們家」的發音，「溫」代表著家是個有溫度，能帶給人溫暖的地方；而「叨」則蘊含了家人之間因濃厚的情感羈絆，而衍生的各種叮嚀與關懷，雖然有時會讓人感到不耐煩，但那字字句句都是基於對彼此的愛。本次展覽展出王挺宇、林葆靈、席時斌與許芝綺（照姓氏筆畫排序）四位藝術家的最新作品；王挺宇以「四大王星」北落師門、畢宿五、心宿二、軒轅十四所發展的五芒星形狀作品，代表著人的五體、房子與家堅實永固的多重意象；林葆靈則以獨特視角定義家，他用透著光的帳篷、搭成三角形的顏料、各類社群網站上的home（首頁）圖標等等元素，呈現現代人對於讓人感到溫暖自在的家之想像；席時斌的全新雕塑《非相之馬》，探討抽象與具象的界線，好似「家」這個既抽象又具體的存在，會隨著個人記憶與想像以及時間遞嬗而改變，耐人尋味；許芝綺的白色抽象雕塑是承接生命經驗與重量的載體，就如同家是永遠的避風港，包容與承接著每個成員的喜怒哀樂、所有的悲歡離合。
這次索卡藝術特別與VG臣爵傢俱合作，於2021年之初的後疫情時代，將家搬進白盒子內，1/9 (六) 下午4點藝術家們將會出席「溫叨喬遷派對 (Housewarming Party)」，來跟大家分享2020年所經歷的點滴，歡迎所有好友們一同來「溫叨」坐坐，聊聊關於你、關於我、關於我們的故事。

★關於VG臣爵傢俱★
創辦人Eric從2010年走訪丹麥後，意外被乘載著無數故事的北歐傢俱吸引，因而開啟了北歐老件經營之路。除了到處蒐集傢俱老件，VG也將許多優質的北歐傢俱品牌引進台灣：包含One
Collection、JL
Moller、Konsthantverk、Bernh.
Pedersen &
Son等。他們透過與客人分享傢俱故事，並引導他們走入具有質感的居家生活，實現「想過好生活不如好好過生活」的美學理念。
The COVID-19 pandemic that swept across the globe in 2020 has interrupted many human activities and connections. International trade has become stagnant, and interpersonal contact has been restricted. Many people are forced to isolate themselves at home over long periods as a way to fight the COVID-19 outbreak. On the other hand, the pandemic also prompted many long-term foreign workers to return to their hometown, and back to the familiar embrace of their families. While re-adjusting to their new lives back home, communicating and getting along with family members as well as maintaining and enhancing the quality of home life have become important.
The title of the exhibition, “Wen Dao”, comes from the pronunciation of “our home” in the Taiwanese language. The character “Wen” means warmth, and signifies how home is a place filled with love and warmth. “Dao”, meaning talkative, suggests various forms of nagging and reminding sparked by a strong sense of care between family members. Even though such chatter might be irritating, each sound and word originates from a source of love for each other.
For this exhibition, the latest works of four artists will be showcased, including Wang Tingyu, Lin Baoling, Hsi Shihpin, and Hsu Chihchi (ordered based on the number of strokes of their last name in Chinese). Wang Tingyu’s work features a five-pointed-star based on the four so-called Royal stars, including Fomalhaut, Aldebaran, Alpha Scorpii, and Regulus. The five-pointed star symbolizes multiple images, such as the five elements of the human body, a house, and a stable and solid home. Lin Baoling, meanwhile, defines home using a unique perspective. Using elements such as a lit tent, paint that stack up to form a triangle, and the "home" icons of social media sites, Lin presents people’s imaginations of a warm and comfortable home in modern times.
The brand new sculpture, Horse of Multiple Appearances, by Hsi Shihpin explores the intriguing boundary between the abstract and the physical, just as if the abstract and physical existence of “home” changes with the passage of time in accordance with personal memory and imagination. Lastly, the white abstract sculpture by Hsu Chihchi is a vessel carrying the experience and weightiness of life. It is similar to a home being a perpetual harbor, tolerant and accepting every family member’s happiness and anger, joy and sorrow, as well as coming together and drifting apart.
This time, Soka Art is collaborating with the furniture store Vintage Living Taipei, moving “home” into a white box in the post-pandemic era of early 2021. On Saturday Jan. 9 at 4 pm, the artists will attend the “Wen Dao Housewarming Party”, and share their experience in 2020 with everyone. All friends are welcome to come sit at “Wen Dao”, to chat about you, about me, and about our stories.
