“Letters to the Future” is based on the service provided by Chunghwa Post Co. Ltd. where you can write letters to anyone at any point in time in the future, travel through time and place to express any longings and feelings. This is also the theme of Show Your Island Artist Group's joint exhibition.
It is easy to carry out. The artists draw lots to decide the person they will write to. They write something they hope this person will complete in a year. The person who receives the letter must work hard to carry out the action in the letter, and exhibit it in this joint exhibition.
Time is a type of fluid concept. The future is also changed by a small choice and action in “the past” or at “the present”. “Letters to the Future” chooses the method of time travel to invite the artists to participate together, bring about changes to each other's future. It also hopes to break through our possible blind spots of creating using this method of setting questions for each other, and then facing artistic creation from another height and angle is also a bold challenge.
The whole exhibition can be regarded as a fun game. Even though at the beginning of planning the exhibition, game rules were set for the artists to follow, some artists choose not to take part in the game, some do not follow the game rules, and some do. Their own methodologies let this exhibition present more interesting effects. Because “the future” is full of uncertainties, and “art” also changes continuously in the creating process. The achievement of different game results makes this exhibition more worth viewing.
Other than the artworks, pieces of letters and records of accomplishment processes are displays of documents, showing the processes of artists moving towards the end of the timeline through layers of choices, seeing the flow and intersection of time and art, and challenging the unlimited possibilities of art. This is also Show Your Island Artist Group's hope written to the future: Art has unlimited possibilities, and we will continue to challenge it.
