2017年3月18日，聖馬利諾國家文化管理局局長、威尼斯雙年展聖馬利諾國家館政府主管Paolo Rondelli先生飛抵臺北，宣佈邀請臺灣藝術家李光裕參加第57屆威尼斯雙年展聖馬利諾國家館，在主展館展出《有無之際：李光裕特別計劃》大型個展，並在臺北舉辦了學術討論會暨媒體發佈會。這是聖馬利諾國家館首次以官方身份邀請臺灣藝術家代表聖國參加威尼斯雙年展。Paolo Rondelli先生表示，邀請外國藝術家參展，可使不同國家通過藝術聯繫起來，顯示出藝術突破國界的一種努力。

本展覽由聖馬利諾國家館策展人Vincenzo Sanfo先生特別策劃，由國際策展人楊心一博士擔任學術主持。展覽位於聖馬可廣場步行10分鐘，以 “海明威故居”聞名的威尼斯貴族官邸羅塔·伊萬柯宮的兩層建築內，以及威尼斯戶外廣場，將呈獻包括李光裕特別為此次展覽創作的雕塑《鬥牛系列》，以及其他時期經典代表作、紀錄片、藝術家檔案室、戶外作品在內的約30餘件作品。不僅對李光裕的雕塑藝術進行全面討論與梳理，更以藝術家個體生命經歷，立足多元文化的臺灣，透過東方美學的語言形式，表達對本屆威尼斯雙年展主題“藝術萬歲”(Viva Arte Viva)的回應。

“有無之際”（ To Have and Have Not）取自諾貝爾文學獎美國作家海明威的小說標題。本展覽結合“海明威故居”的特定場域，以“場景再現”的特殊方式布展，保留展場原有的生活痕跡，與放置其中的雕塑產生互動，有別於美術館的“白盒子”，形成歷史空間與當代空間的折疊，賦予展覽更多歷史與文化層面的意涵。當今世界的政治經濟局面又開始變得充滿不確定性，在這一時刻，致敬海明威具有現實意義，藝術家意圖借其作品，從人文主義視角勾勒並觀照我們時代的精神世界。

“有無之際”亦是李光裕雕塑美學的歸納。作為臺灣藝術史上第二代雕塑家的傑出代表，李光裕在臺灣藝術界成名甚早，但對其藝術的理解卻受限於早期作品的刻板印象。本次展覽從國際視野重新審視李光裕的藝術，凸顯李光裕作品極具特色的「空」的語言與表現形式。李光裕的作品從雕塑概念和雕塑語言層面出發，成功表達出一種異於西方雕塑的「空」的形式語言及美學境界，不僅創造了新的空間感，也揭示出世界是正反兩面相輔相成的辯證法則，充滿東方哲學上的意義與當代的社會價值。在這個國際化平臺上，李光裕將對東方文化的理解注入藝術作品，承載傳統文化的當代價值，表達在文化、宗教及思考方式上的差異，更凸顯其可貴性。

采泥藝術自2012年開始持續推動李光裕的藝術發展，本次李光裕受邀參加威尼斯雙年展，既是從學術層面高度肯定其藝術成就，亦將推動其藝術邁向一個新的里程碑。

**************************************
On March 18, 2017, Mr. Paolo Rondelli, Director General of San Marino's Cultural Institutes and Director of San Marino Pavilion in the Venice Biennale, arrived in Taipei and announced that Lee Kuang-Yu has been invited to hold a large-scale solo exhibition, To Have and Have Not: A Special Project of Lee Kuang-Yu, at the San Marino Pavilion in the 57th Venice Biennale. An academic seminar and a press conference were also held in concurrence with this announcement. The exhibition will mark the first time that the San Marino Pavilion officially invites a Taiwanese artist to represent the Republic of San Marino to participate in the Venice Biennale. According to Mr. Rondelli, inviting foreign artists to participate in the Biennale facilitates the connection between different countries, showing the force of art that transcends national boundaries.

This exhibition is curated by Mr. Vincenzo Sanfo, curator of the San Marino Pavilion, with Dr. Yang Shin-Yi as the academic chair. The exhibition takes place at the two-story Palazzo Rota Ivancich known as "the former residence of Hemingway" and an outdoor plaza in Venice, and showcases about thirty sculptures, including the Bullfight series, which is specifically created for this exhibition, as well as the artist's masterpieces from different periods, documentaries, the artist's archive, and other outdoor sculptures. Therefore, the exhibition is not only a comprehensive investigation into and presentation of Lee's sculptural art, it is also his response to the theme of this year's Biennale, "Viva Arte Viva," a statement that integrates the artist's personal life experience, the diverse culture of Taiwan, and the expressive language of the Eastern aesthetics.

The exhibition takes its title, To Have and Have Not, from the American Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway's novel. Combining the specific site of Hemingway's former residence, the exhibition is designed to "represent the past scenes" by retaining the traces of life in the venue and creating interaction between the space and the sculptures. Unlike the white box space of museums, the exhibition interlaces the historic space and the contemporary space so that it becomes enriched with historic and cultural significance. As today's global political and economic situations become more uncertain, the exhibition's timely tribute to Hemingway carries practical implication—it conveys how the artist aims to portray the inner world of our time from a humanistic perspective through his works.

To Have and Not Have also revisits Lee's sculptural aesthetics from a comprehensive perspective. Being a representative sculptor among the second-generation sculptors in Taiwanese art history, Lee achieved fame in the art circle in Taiwan at an early stage. However, the general public's understanding of his art is stereotyped and limited to his early work. This exhibition re-examines Lee's art from an international perspective and foregrounds his distinctive language of the "void" and his expressive form. His work begins with sculptural concept and language, and successfully develops the formal language of the "void" and the aesthetic concept different from the Western sculpture. Lee's sculpture not only creates a fresh sense of space but also unveils the dialectic existence of this world that is characterized by a mutually complementing duality. Therefore, Lee's work is informed with Eastern philosophical connotation and contemporary social value. On this international platform, the artist infuses his understanding of the Eastern culture into his artworks, which embody the contemporary implication of traditional culture, express the differences in culture, religion, and thinking, and highlight the preciousness of his work.

Chini Gallery has been promoting the artistic development of Lee Kuang-Yu since 2012, the artist's invitational exhibition in the Venice Biennale is not only a tremendous validation for his artistic achievement, but also marks a brand new milestone of his art.

Date:5.11-11.26,2017
Venue: Palazzo Rota Ivancich (known as "the former residence of Hemingway") and an outdoor plaza in Venice

藝術家：
李光裕 LEE Kuang-Yu

1954年生於台灣，70年代中期在台灣完成學院雕塑訓練後，負笈西班牙聖費南度皇家藝術學院及國立馬德里大學美術學院研習西方雕塑技法與理論，師承著名雕塑家托雷多。學成歸國後任教於臺北藝術大學、台灣藝術大學，直至2006年退休，創作至今。在台灣雕塑史的發展中，李光裕的雕塑創作跨越文化、歷史的向度，是標示東方文化與西方現代主義交融的文化座標，集台灣在地的文化底蘊與國際多元文化之大成，形塑出極富個人特色的雕塑美學風格。他的創作在雕塑語言的基底層面，以「鏤空」等標誌性技法打開雕塑的封閉結構，形成獨特的「空」的形式、風格與觀念，呈現出一種物我兩忘的「東方空境」，不僅具有美學價值，亦蘊含對當下生命狀態的思考，具有當代的社會意義。曾受邀於紐約、威尼斯、西班牙、奧地利、日本、新加坡等全球多地舉行展覽。台灣三大美術館包括臺北市立美術館、國立台灣美術館及高雄市立美術館典藏其多件作品。台大醫院捷運站、市民大道及高雄大學亦可見其多件大型公共藝術作品。

LEE Kuang-Yu was born in Taiwan in 1954. After receiving an academic education of sculpture in Taiwan in the 1970s, he continued his study in Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain, where he studied Western sculptural technique and theory with the renowned sculptor, Francisco Toledo Sanchez. After completing his study, he returned to Taiwan and began teaching at Taipei National University of the Arts and National Taiwan University of Arts until his retirement in 2006. In the history of Taiwanese sculpture, LEE's work has spanned the cultural and historical dimensions and become a unique cultural presence that marks the unification of Eastern culture and Western modernism. His work successfully combines the rich Taiwanese culture and international diverseness, creating an individualistic sculptural aesthetics and style. With his signature sculptural vocabulary of "openwork," he opens the enclosed sculptural structure and creates the distinctive form, style, and concept of the "void" while demonstrating a state of "Eastern emptiness" that embodies the unity of the self and object. Therefore, his work is not only aesthetically appealing, but also conveys his contemplation on the present state of life and is informed with contemporary social implication. LEE has been invited for exhibitions in New York, Venice, Spain, Austria, Japan, Singapore, etc. The three major museums in Taiwan, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, and Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, have collected multiple works by LEE. His largescale public artworks can also be seen in NTU Hospital MRT Station, Civic Boulevard, and National University of Kaohsiung.
