展覽論述


『悲滅說』是藝術家從2017年探索創作的積累。利用材質操作及雕塑手法，透過轉譯玩具本質特性，處理現世人類面對自我精神性的厄運與毀滅，其過程中所帶來的情緒焦慮及末世壓力。作品包含陶瓷、雕塑模製及現成物等，透過轉譯玩具探索自身內在、面對權力與毀滅等精神面向。

玩具是成長過程的近身陪伴，記憶與時光的混合體。至於近當代之後，玩具也成為資本主義與文化價值最直接的滲透載體。本展覽的作品，嘗試利用「樂高積木」的普世觀點及價值，透過去色、去形、再製等當代視覺語言，徹底解構「玩具」的面向，掀開身而為人所面對的悲劇課題。



Artist Statement

The exhibition titled The Song of Melancholy present Meng-shu You’s studio practices since 2017. She attempts to explore the anxiety and depression behind the sprit that deals with the theme of authority and deconstruction by using “toys” as the key point to engage with ceramics, sculpture and already made stuffs.

As everyone’s growing up memories, toys are always our close friends. Nowadays, toys also represent the phenomenon of capitalism or the ideology of cultural icons. By using the contemporary visual strategies such as decolor, decay and reform, Meng-shu tried to deconstruct the general perspectives of “lego bricks” that would underline the issues of melancholy in artistic way.
