Image transfer and graphic tape, Site-specific, 2014



exhibition/ artist's studio space

此作品為2014年於紐約Residency Unlimited 駐村期間創作,展覽期間進駐紐約下東城區位於Essex市場裏的 Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space,將藝廊做為藝術家工作室,有機地發展、呈現其作品。
創作的內容主要針對位在紐約下東城已有70年歷史的 Essex Street Market 市場本身的特性發展。展覽期間我收集市場內攤販所丟棄的物件作為素材,在展場空間裡重新組合這些廢棄物件,再利用攝影的方式編導拍攝,呈現市場裡存在與不存在的故事。展場的狀態會依照當時工作的程序有所改變:準備、撿廢棄物、拼湊、攝影,希望藉由「過程展覽」的方式與在地居民有更多連結和互動。
Taking process as a central subject, this project uses the gallery for both exhibition and studio, creating an ever-changing workspace in order to consider the visual resonance of an image, place or narrative once it has ceased to exist.
Throughout the exhibition, Chu collected discarded materials from the market vendors, bringing them into the gallery to construct the setting and scenario of “non-place,” a transient site between destinations. Using photography to dislocate the collected objects from a sense of time or origin, Chu’s surreal vignettes transform the everyday into a moment abstracted from reality, coaxing the viewer’s experience of perception to the space between foreign and familiar. By creating a transparent workspace, this project gave form to the intersection of the real and imaginary, threading new narratives with the impression of fragments collected over time.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Artists Alliance Inc. The residencies of both Ta-Wei Huang and Yinhua Chu at Residency Unlimited and Artists Alliance Inc are sponsored by Ministry of Culture, R.O.C.(Taiwan).
