台灣藝術家吳季璁將於耿畫廊TKG+｜台北｜舉辦個展，展期自2012年11月10日至12月16日。吳季璁作品關注影像的生產過程以及人們認知影像的觀看方式，作品形式包含錄像、攝影及裝置，而此次個展更將推出近期新作，模糊攝影與繪畫的界限。

吳季璁自幼學習繪畫，自2002年大學期間開始其影像相關的創作，與其養成的藝術傳統似乎漸行漸遠。有鑑於此，吳季璁2009年起，試著將傳統繪畫和熟悉的影像語言連結，本次個展的攝影作品「皴法習作」（Wrinkled-Texture），將東方水墨山水中的「皴法」重新詮釋，運用古老的氰版攝影法（cyanotype），將感光材料塗佈於宣紙上，在陽光下鋪晒後紀錄下紙張的皺摺，宛如山巒絕壁，將傳統的山水意象與攝影、觀念、行為融為一體。

吳季璁1981年生於台灣台北，目前工作、生活於台北。2003年獲「台北美術獎」首獎，2004年於伊通公園畫廊（IT Park）舉辦首次個展，同年於台北藝術大學取得藝術學士學位，2006年入圍「英國世界藝術獎」（Artes Mundi Prize），2009年分別於伊通公園畫廊及其玟畫廊（Chi-Wen Gallery）發表兩次個展《水晶城市》及《小品》。重要聯展經歷包括：《The Elegance of Silence》（日本森美術館，東京，2005）、《Artes Mundi》（Cardiff國家藝廊，英國，2006）、《超設計》（第六屆上海雙年展，上海，2006）、《我們的未來》（尤倫斯當代藝術中心，北京，2008）、《台灣響起－超隱自由／難以名狀之島》（布達佩斯藝術館．路德維格現代美術館，布達佩斯，2010）以及《亞現象．中國青年藝術生態報告》首屆CAFAM未來展（中央美術學院美術館，北京，2012）。

吳季璁也於2012年台北國際藝術博覽會TKG+展位（B33）展出，開幕當日將有接駁車由世貿一館會場送至內湖耿畫廊TKG+（5:45pm, 6:15pm）。TKG+更多展覽資訊，請上www.tinakenggallery.com搜尋。

作為耿畫廊的當代藝術平台，TKG+持續支持台灣藝術新秀，以推廣具有潛力的當代藝術為重要使命，並鼓勵多樣化媒材的藝術形式：錄像、攝影、裝置乃至新媒體，開啟更多的藝術對話與實驗空間。如TKG+的+指數所象徵的，21世紀的當代藝術充滿了無限可能性與發展空間。


Wu Chi-Tsung Solo Exhibition
10 November-16 December 2012
Opening: 10 November, 6:00pm-9:00pm
Opening reception sponsored by Glenfiddich

TKG+ is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of Wu Chi-Tsung at TKG+, on view from November 10 to December 16, 2012 (opening reception on Saturday, November 10, 6:00pm-9:00pm). Wu Chi-Tsung works with a variety of different media, including photography, video, and installation, to create images which challenge the perception of our physical and natural world. Using techniques which play on the scale of everyday objects, Wu creates images and perceptions that illuminate the ephemeral aspects of nature, resulting in poetic renditions of the everyday.

In this solo exhibition, Wu Chi-Tsung creates a new installation that explores the relationship between the sublime and the minute. Wu inspired by the texturing methods (cun-fa) of Chinese calligraphy, manages to transform paper into mountain ranges, or possibly a sea of waves through crumbling and lighting these surfaces. Wu recreates landscapes through the physicality of light, paying particular attention to the way things are perceived and how the notion of landscapes can be created through simple gestures.

Wu Chi-Tsung was born in Taipei, Taiwan (b. 1981), and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in oil painting from the Taipei National University of the Arts in 2004. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions domestic and abroad, including Sub-Phenomena: Report on the State of Chinese Young Art, The First CAFAM Future Exhibition (2012), CAFAM Art Museum, Beijing, China; Boundaries on the Move: Taiwan-Israel, A Cross-Culture Dialogue (2012), Herzliya, Museum of Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, Israel; Taiwan Calling - The Phantom of Liberty / Elusive Island (2011), Műcsarnok - Kunsthalle Budapest Ludwig Museum, Budapest, Hungary; Our Future: The Guy & Myriam Ullens Foundation Collection (2008), Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA), Beijing, China; Artes Mundi (2006), Wales International Visual Art Prize, National Museum of Cardiff, Cardiff, UK; Hyper Design: 6th Shanghai Biennial (2006), Shanghai, China; The Elegance of Silence (2005), Mori Museum, Tokyo, Japan and has held solo exhibitions at IT Park Gallery (2004, 2009) and Chi-wen Gallery (2009) in Taipei, Taiwan.

Additional works by Wu will also be on view at the TKG+ booth (B33) at Art Taipei (November 9-12). A shuttle bus is scheduled at 5:45pm and 6:15pm to travel from Art Taipei and TKG+ on the night of the opening (November 10). For additional information, please visit: www.tinakenggallery.com.
