【‘Oh boy; nonetheless’ 金兌洙個展 Tez KIM Solo Exhibition】
?展覽論述：
文 | Julia Hwang / KHJGallery
原本對每個人都是陌生的新冠肺炎疫情恐慌已逐漸消退，取而代之的是其他喚醒我們意識的重要議題。如果我們從出生到死亡畫出了數百萬個點，那它們的開始與結束存在同樣的命運。當日復一日的生活開始對生命的目的與方式感到疑惑與沒有意義時，我們就會回憶起過去無憂無慮的日子。
「在我的童年、青春期與青年時，我是怎麼讓自己在炎熱的盛夏保持冷靜？當情緒刺痛我的鼻尖時，我正熱衷於甚麼樣的食物和流行歌曲？當我感受到心跳時，我正看著誰的眼睛？」
找尋我們目標的旅程開啟了一場認同之旅，一個重要的門面。一個認為這是人生最終目標的男孩，在這個人生百歲的時代，已成為一個像男孩的男人，一位藝術家。當一個人開始認為在時光流逝中自己已日漸年邁無能時，就會對這位藝術家的作品感到共情。孩童不會擁有成人的記憶，但所有成人都會記得童年。我們要呈現的展覽聚焦於跨越視覺藝術與詩集的藝術精神，闡述為什麼我們會緬懷「過往」。
金兌洙的首次海外個展將在7月22日到8月19日，於台灣台南的德鴻畫廊展出，展示出自叛逆少年的繪畫與雕塑作品。
從展覽主題「‘Oh, boy; nonetheless’」，隨著年齡漸長，我們可以聽到天真消退的悲嘆。諷刺的是，我們所處的處境，就算人類再怎麼努力抵抗威脅，也始終像堆積如山的香蕉一樣沉重，即使是引領大眾的成年人也無法有力的將這些象徵著可悲的香蕉擲出。
「隨著年齡增長對認同的抗拒以及隨之而來的變質，我終於知道是否能夠遇見新的自己。」
金兌洙的作品可分成四個系列：「深思」( ＆#039;Deep Thought＆#039;)、「冒險」(＆#039;Adventure＆#039;)和「行動」(＆#039;Action＆#039;)，以及可視為一體的「街頭頑童」(＆#039;Boy on the Street)。作品將兒時記憶以香蕉做了翻轉，變成了內黃外白，使用的媒材是可追溯至兒時記憶的純然叛念。記憶所帶給我們的純真在滴水不漏的封條下受到質疑。
「我在等待的是可以想起、緬懷、歡笑和充滿活力觀眾；我們要的是你的關注與支持。」
The coronavirus panic that was new to everyone has subsided, and other aspects of issues that tickle our consciousness emerge. If we draw tens of millions of dots starting at the moment of birth and ending at the final line of death, the dots at the beginning and at the end share the same fate. When it starts to feel meaningless to live a day-to-day life where its purpose and means are confused, we are often taken back to the untroubled days of the past.
“During my childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, what the hell did I do to cool off in the midsummer heat? What kind of food and pop songs was I into, the moment when the tip of my nose tingled with emotions? And whose eyes was I looking into with my beating heart?”
The journey to find our purpose led to an identity march, a facade of importance. A boy who thought this as the ultimate task in life had grown into a boy-like man, an artist, in this generation with a hundred-year life expectancy. Right around the time when a man peaks in thinking that time flies, when he thinks he is old and incapable, he begins to sympathize with the artist’s work. Children do not have adult memories, but all adults have childhood memories. We would like to introduce an exhibition that sheds light on the artistic spirit that crosses between visual arts and poetry on why we must indulge in ‘those days’.
Tez Kim＆#039;s first solo exhibition abroad will be held in Taiwan from July 22nd to August 19th at Der-Horng Art Gallery in Tainan, showcasing paintings and sculptures narrated by a seemingly rebellious boy.
From the title of the exhibition ‘Oh, boy; nonetheless’, we hear the shouts of a lament for the innocence that fades as we grow older. Ironically, we are in a position to agree that the effort to resist what threatens humanity is a banana piled up in its ponderosity. Even the adult that guilds the majority is losing the strength to throw a pathetic banana.
“With age’s resistance against my identity, and after this deterioration, I’ll finally know if I＆#039;ll meet the new me.”
Tez Kim＆#039;s works are compiled into four series: ＆#039;Deep Thought＆#039;, ＆#039;Adventure＆#039;, and ＆#039;Action＆#039;, which come together to form the ＆#039;Boy on the Street’ series. The works turn the memory of bananas and yellows inside out, the medium of pure rebellion, originating from childhood memories. The innocence that our memory granted us is questioned in a seal that does not fade.
“I am waiting for an audience who is alive, remembering, reminiscing, and laughing. We ask for your interest and support.”
