絕對十年，就是一個光塵裡的摺角，用隱微的方式為流動著的生活作註，提醒著喜愛藝術的絕對態度，也提醒著過生活的絕對態度。因此，十周年展邀請創作樣貌很絕對，作品很日常的藝術家，像是日閒散步途中跳起的小石頭，不影響步伐，卻有個摺角。

李傑隨意撿拾著日常時光的破片當現成物，在生活的現實空間裡彷彿不經意地投影，貼著膠帶的牆提醒這些僅僅是生活的摺角，還有那麼多的那些是真的。

賴志盛的作品有著絕對的物性減法，一減再減，減到碰觸感覺、碰觸生活、碰觸生命。看似空無一物，原來只是生活翻了個身。

徐瑞謙原本跟材質拼了命，把敲鐵當成木魚，用著力想頓悟。卻發現原來四方俱寂的絕對，才看得見生活的摺角，順勢地也就乾乾淨淨清清爽爽地，看著生活裡偶而捲起的毛球。

黃萱把自己的身體畫上重點，再放回生活，有著想全部看見的重。作品偶而在穩定的生活旋律裡輕鬆的換拍，微小的突起，卻忍不住一再地盯著看。

時間不動聲色的流動著，揚塵在日光下緩慢的移動，等到藝術家來折了個角，日常的詩就這樣寫下。

▶【關於藝術家賴志盛】

1971年出生於臺灣台北，目前生活與工作於台灣台北。

賴志盛在空間或風景中進行細膩的干預性藝術實踐——繃緊的線索，收集水珠的小孔，或是破牆而出的樹木等。其創作以裝置及雕塑等多種媒介探索了張力、日常生活及個人經驗。賴志盛關注細節， 常在特定空間的不同元素之間創造新關係，直接與觀眾的身體及存在感知相溝通，作品帶有一種輕鬆、富有玩樂意味的極少主義傾向。其作品因此特定創作語境而帶有一系列顯著的特點：富有環境或空間親近性，帶有強烈拓展性，也帶有一種與觀眾好奇心直接對話的抒情細膩感。

▶【關於藝術家徐瑞謙】

1994年出生苗栗，創作於臺灣，臺北。身體帶領著我們感受了這個世界，創作回應對於觸碰與動作後對物質產生影響的好奇，物質本身的精神性，來回的構作，是直接、親密，似乎在喚醒未明的意識，或許模糊矛盾，從中探索著。



▶【關於藝術家黃萱】

1995年生於台北，創作內容多為行為及錄像。以自身身體為材料，用簡單而持久的動作作為環境中測試的衡準，探勘日常裡許多隱微限制和生活作息的運作。也關注生活中物件與其功能，去發覺它們與人體姿勢、形象在使用中的相互關係，並試圖透過錯誤的使用來翻轉觀眾感知。



Lighting of life

A decade in Absolute Space is like a folded page in the dawn. Throughout the past decade, the constant flow of life has been noted in ways obscure, yet reminding all the absolute love not only for art, but also for life. Therefore, for our tenth anniversary, we’ve invited artists, who even with their absolute idiosyncrasies in creative forms, manage to radiate the daily norms of life. Their works are like the loose chippings underfoot, folding the pages of life without causing the slightest hindrance.

Lee Kit picked fragment pieces he randomly collected in his daily life. These things stand as unintentional projections of real life. The tapes on the wall remind the audience that these are simply the folds that mark the countless pages in life. Behind what is real hides so much more that are just as real.

The works of Lai Chih-Sheng have subtracted the absolute physical matters. One by one, Lai took away matters in each subtraction to make feelings and life tangible, in order for the audience to touch what is alive. What appears to be empty is simply the other dimension of life.

On the other hand, Hsu Jui-Chien first worked hard in fighting against the nature of his materials, envisioning the iron stick as the beater for temple blocks. However, Hsu ended up discovering the folds of life in absolute silence. Therefore, he stood calmly observing the hairballs in life in tranquility.

For Huang Xuan, she marks her body and places it back in life to mirror her strong desire to see it all. Her works create breaks in the constant rhythm of life. The protrusions may be trivial, but unignorable.

Time flows silently as dust slowly swirls under the sun. Here, the poetry concerning ordinary life is noted as each artist comes around, creating folds to mark the pages in life.

Lai Chih-Sheng, Born 1971 in Taipei, Taiwan; based in Taipei, Taiwan

Delicate interventions in space and the landscape - a pulled thread, a hole gathering droplets of water, a tree emerging from the walls. Lai Chih-Sheng (b. 1971, Taiwan) pursues a practice that plays with tension, the everyday and personal encounters across multiple mediums in particular installation and sculpture. There is a playful minimalism in the way he observes detail and creates relationships between different parts of a room, engaging the viewer’s sense of body and presence. During the 1990s Lai Chih-Sheng was a member of the conceptual art group National Oxygen, presenting his early work in disused structures around the periphery of Taipei, which often involved seemingly futile labour. As such, there are certain pervading traits throughout his work: an affinity to environment and space, a sense of expanse, a lyrical delicacy that engages our curiosity.

Hsu Jui-Chien, Born 1994 in Miaoli. Work in Taipei, Taiwan. We feel the world with our bodies and senses. Only creation can make the answer of the curiosity of the materials after the impact and actions. The spirit of the materials itself and the influence between the circulation are directly intimacy. It seems like they are awaking the unknown consciousness or exploring the ambiguous contradiction.

Huang Xuan was born in 1995 in Taipei, Taiwan. With most of her works being performance and film, she uses her own body as the material, and uses simple but persistent movements as a scale for testing in the environment, exploring the many subtle limitations and the operations of routine in daily life. She also focuses on objects and their functions in life to discover their interrelationship with human gestures and images in use and tries to reverse the audience＆#039;s perception through misuse.
