「少少醒,少少睡」
芬蘭藝術家Kustaa Saksi 首度亞洲個展
一個難眠的藝術家,一網與野性共存的研究室;
當藝術家躺上佛洛依德的長椅,織出一幅半睡半醒的風景。
2015年3月19日,萬物甦醒後的春分時節,出生芬蘭、現居於阿姆斯特丹的藝術家Kustaa Saksi 將首次踏上亞洲,在台北外雙溪半山腰上的「少少原始感覺研究室」展出其「半夢半醒 Hypnopompic」系列作品。
Kustaa Saksi 以其細膩鮮明的插畫創作為名,曾與 LVMH、Issey Miyake、Nike、Lacoste、Sony 等知名品牌合作。幾年前,難眠體質驅動了Hypnopompic 系列創作,他利用法國查卡提花織機技法,以嫘縈、金屬線、羊駝毛、毛海等織料,把擅長的平面插畫鉤築轉化成令人驚艷的大型掛毯。當意識遊走於睡與醒、超現實與現實的臨界邊緣, 蜘蛛、猴子等昆蟲動物沿線匍匐,交織出一網網微暈眩和偏頭痛的迷幻世界。
此次Kustaa Saksi受草字頭之邀來台,特別有幸與甫榮獲ADA新銳建築特別獎的「少少原始感覺研究室」合作。藝術家除帶來Hypnopompic 系列作品,也將親身進駐入睡,在自然洋行建築師曾志偉編築的大黑網底下,以身體髮膚探索都市文明和森林自然的邊界,與本地藝術家共同激發少少專屬的現地創作。
細膩毛絨的掛毯,生猛原始的遇見,小島山上伴隨蟲鳴鳥叫飄昇的蒸蒸濕氣,是新鮮、是勇敢、是還沒有到來便想不到的未知,是春天裡的一場實驗。

"The Huffington Post"
- If You Don't Already Adore Psychedelic Finnish Weaving, You're Missing Out
- Saksi's massive graphic patterns are the ornate tapestries your grandmother never had.
如果你現在還不懂得崇拜這樣迷幻的芬蘭織藝,實在是大大的損失!
Saksi 的掛毯,圖樣龐大複雜,是你我阿嬤不可能做到的那種!

While your work is realized in a variety of mediums, a cast of trippy, paradoxical characters consistently emerge. Where do they come from?
My characters have a sort of science-meets-imagination feel to them, with a lot of texture and dimension. I still get back to my childhood skiing holidays in the snowy woods and frozen sea and the character-like shapes your imagination molds out of the trees, rocks, and islands covered with snow and ice. And flashes of northern lights in the sky. There was, and still is, something magical and mystical in it.
你的作品在各種媒介中總是帶點迷幻,常冒出荒謬怪奇的元素和角色,那些是怎麼來的?
這些角色通常都有點「當科學遇上幻境」的感覺,包含各種觸感和維度。我常常會想起小時候的滑雪假期,在雪白的叢林裡、結著冰的大海邊,樹、石頭、整個小島佈滿雪和冰,那些形狀都讓想像力馳騁其中,還有北方的極光......這些曾是,也一直都是我作品裡魔幻和神祕的靈光。
