Osage :: Manifest materiality 賦形於質

Presented by Osage Art Foundation

奧沙藝術基金主辦

Curated by Charles Merewether 策展

This exhibition represents some 29 works by 15 artists from Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and Turkey. Their work conveys a powerful materiality that can be seen in regard to either the subject of their address or the use of materials. For some of these artists their subject alludes to the broader social sphere in which they live. Art becomes a means of remembering history or raising issues of social justice. For the other artists, art become a metaphorical means of characterizing everyday life, memory and history. And the third strand of exploration lies with those artists who explore the playful allusions and visual subtleties of abstraction.

本次展覽展出了來自泰國、印尼、香港、新加坡、菲律賓和土耳其的 15 位藝術家的 29件作品。他們的作品傳達出一種強大的物質性，這種物質性反映於作品的主題或材料的運用之中。對於當中一些藝術家來說，他們的主題暗指他們所生活中更廣泛的社會領域，藝術成為銘記歷史或提出社會正義問題的一種手段。對於其他藝術家來說，藝術則成為一種隱喻的手段，用來描述日常生活、記憶和歷史。而第三種探索則是那些追求抽象主義的玩味和視覺微妙之處的藝術家。
