⟣ 展覽論述
​
「衝突與認同」台義國際藝術交流展，由兩位台灣藝術家汪曉青、羅惠瑜與兩位義大利藝術家Frank Dituri、Mauro Manetti共同展出，他們在各自的作品中展現了多元的文化傳統與不同的關注視角。國際藝術交流展於2025年2月在台北市中山堂首展，同年7月在義大利Montefalco的公民藝術博物館Museo di San Francesco展出，該博物館原是建於十五世紀的教堂，近年改裝為當代藝術的展覽空間。
​
義大利藝術家Frank Dituri 與羅惠瑜有將近30年的師生情誼，三年前的一次聖誕節問候，成為「衝突與認同」台義國際交流展的契機。本展覽是一場跨越文化與性別的對話，也是一種探問：在華人文化對女性制式期待的臺灣，女性如何在父權與性別平等的拉扯中，建構出更具表達能力的母職生活？而在深受天主教傳統浸潤的義大利，男性又如何在當代藝術多元發展的挑戰下，重新定位自我？
​
汪曉青是英國布萊敦大學藝術博士，近年來以「母親如同創作者」作品活躍於國際藝壇，頻繁受邀參加各國大型國際攝影節，其作品多次刊載於國際重要媒體。羅惠瑜是紐約長島大學視覺藝術研究所碩士，除了在任教於東華大學，同時也是一對雙胞胎的媽媽，在母職與創作之間不斷尋求平衡。Frank Dituri為義大利籍美國藝術家，曾任教於紐約長島大學多年，也曾擔任紐約古根漢美術館的藝術教育老師，其作品被多家國際重要美術館收藏。 Mauro Manetti則曾長期擔任佛羅倫斯LABA藝術學院（Libera Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy）校長，退休後於Empoli市創辦F.A.S.E.藝廊，致力於舉辦多元的藝術展演活動。
​
在追求個人自主性或自我實現的過程中，汪曉青與羅惠瑜以身為母親與藝術家的身份與生活經歷為基礎，試圖呈現有別於傳統的母親形象。汪曉青顛覆了母親只能犧牲自我的刻板印象，將母職重新詮釋為一種宏偉的創作，透過12張影像記錄她與兒子二十年間關係的變化。羅惠瑜則以「母親的自我凝視」，揭露母職中無法迴避的矛盾與焦慮。儘管她對孩子們充滿關愛，但影像中的母親仍流露出一種疏離與孤立，並渴望擁有屬於自己的自由與空間。
​
與台灣藝術家專注於記錄日常生活的視角不同，義大利藝術家Frank Dituri與Mauro Manetti選擇避開日常與平凡，追求更具詩意的表達，探索藝術的超越性——這是他們認為當代藝術中普遍缺乏的元素。兩位男性藝術家的作品聚焦於物質的精神層面：Dituri以詩意的空間影像，營造出引人進入超自然存在感的氛圍；而Mauro的美學深受歷史影響， 他以多媒材創作重新詮釋宗教圖像，例如中世紀雕塑的碎片與早期基督教馬賽克圖案，表達藝術的時間性與精神性。
​
歷史與文化既是滋養的來源，也是沉重的包袱。在文化傳承與歲月歷練之下，四位藝術家展現出截然不同的自我認同旅程。無論是挑戰傳統形象的束縛，還是面對當代藝術多元發展的挑戰，兩位創作超過五十年的男性義大利藝術家與剛邁入五十歲的臺灣女性藝術家，在數十年的自我凝視與藝術實踐中，透過作品與人生經歷，開啟了一場跨文化的對話。

​
“conflicts ＆ identità ” Taiwan and Italy International Art Exchange Exhibition features works by two Taiwanese artists, Annie Hsiao-Ching Wang and Karen Hui-Yu Lo, and two Italian artists, Frank Dituri and Mauro Manetti. Each artist presents diverse cultural traditions and unique perspectives in their work. The exhibition debuts in February 2025 at Zhongshan Hall, Taipei, and will travel to the Museo di San Francesco in Montefalco, Italy, in July of the same year. This museum, originally a 15th-century church, has been repurposed in recent years as a contemporary art exhibition space.
​
Italian artist Frank Dituri and Hui-Yu Lo share a teacher-student bond spanning nearly 30 years. A Christmas greeting three years ago sparked the idea for “conflicts ＆ identità.” The exhibition explores cross-cultural and gender dialogues, asking: How can Taiwanese women balance patriarchal traditions and gender equality to redefine motherhood? And how do Italian men, shaped by Catholic heritage, adapt their roles within the evolving landscape of contemporary art?
​
Hsiao-Ching Wang, with a Ph.D. from the University of Brighton, UK, is known for her series “The Mother as a Creator,” which has gained international recognition and featured in major photography festivals and media outlets. Hu-Yu Lo, she obtained her MFA degree from Long Island University. Alongside teaching at Dong Hwa University, she is also a mother to twins, continuously seeking balance between motherhood and artistic creation. Frank Dituri, an Italian-American artist, previously taught at Long Island University and served as an art educator at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. His works are part of numerous international museum collections. Mauro Manetti, former president of LABA (Libera Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy) in Florence, now runs the FASE ART PROJECT gallery in Empoli,Italy, promoting diverse art exhibitions.
​
Hsiao-Ching Wang and Hui-Yu Lo draw on their experiences as mothers and artists to challenge traditional views of motherhood. Wang redefines motherhood as a creative act, countering stereotypes of self-sacrifice with a series of 12 images documenting her evolving relationship with her son over 20 years. Lo, in "The Self-Gazing of a Mother," explores the contradictions and anxieties of motherhood, portraying a mother’s love alongside feelings of isolation and a longing for personal freedom.
​
In contrast to the Taiwanese artists’ focus on documenting everyday life, the Italian artists Frank Dituri and Mauro Manetti avoid the mundane, striving for poetic expression and exploring art’s transcendence—an element they see as lacking in much of contemporary art. Their works delve into the spiritual dimensions of materiality: Dituri’s poetic spatial images create an atmosphere imbued with supernatural presence, while Manetti’s aesthetics, deeply influenced by history, reimagine religious imagery through mixed media. He incorporates fragments of medieval sculptures and early Christian mosaics to express the temporality and spirituality of art.
​
History and culture are both a source of inspiration and a burden. These four artists reveal distinct journeys of self-identity shaped by cultural heritage and life’s challenges. Through decades of introspection and artistic practice, the two Italian male artists, with over 50 years of creation, and the two Taiwanese female artists, now in their 50s, engage in a transcultural dialogue that challenges tradition and explores contemporary artistic diversity.
