「藝術家不只要創作美，更要發現美。」---江賢二 「繆思 Muse」是掌管藝術與科學的女神，現今則代表著激發藝術家創作靈感的人與事；而「無名的」意指在主流之外，被認為和藝術無關的創作材料與手法，它們或許是跨領域的、未完成的、瑕疵的、廢棄的素材，若換個角度看，「無名」是那些未被發掘的藝術潛能，它們所生成的美麗是未知的，而這些無名的繆思多來自創作者自身的經驗與生活周遭的發現。 此次展覽跨足繪畫、建築與服裝三個領域，透過藝術家江賢二、建築師林友寒、時尚設計師周裕穎的跨界合作，由「撿起」到「發現」，以無名的繆思追尋未知，創造藝術，也以新視角定義「美」。對江賢二而言，被拆裝下來的鋼筋與建築黑模板都是他的繆思；林友寒重新組建的浪板、廢棄鷹架，也能創造有趣的空間體驗；透過周裕穎之手，瑕疵的緹花布浮紗是流動光線的最佳詮釋；「美」隨著我們身處的時代、關注的事而產生多種定義。無名的美，其實是來自於過去與現在的內在省思。 這次展覽主視覺是源自江賢二2022年最新的創作之一《火與冰Perish II》，他以臺東舊畫室拆除的浪板外牆創作，經過多年日曬雨淋的浪板累積自然鏽蝕的時間痕跡，堆疊出無法人為刻意再造的質感。在江賢二眼裡，這些色澤與紋理都是他前所未見、未知的美麗，他發現舊物之美，顛覆一般人對於藝術與材料的既定想像，然而這樣的創作無損他對「內在精神性」的永恆追尋。
“The mission of an artist is not only to create, but to discover.” – Paul Chiang Muses in Greek mythology are the sources of inspiration for literature, science, and the arts. Invisible describes the materials or techniques that are outside of mainstream, considered unrelated to art; they are the cross-disciplinary collaborations, the unfinished, imperfect, and discarded. Most of these invisible muses come from the creators’ own experiences and discovery in life. The exhibition is a collaboration between artist Paul Chiang, architect Yu Han Michael Lin, and fashion designer Justin Chou. From pick up to discovery, they pursue the unknown with their invisible muses. Beauty is redefined with unconventional materials seen through different angles. Discarded steel and black exposed concrete form boards were Chiang’s muses. For Lin, reconstructed wave boards and abandoned scaffolding created a unique spatial experience. For Chou, the snags of Jacquard were the best interpretation for the flow of light. Era and social issues alter the perception of beauty. Invisible beauty is a reflection of the past and present. The key visual of the exhibition is Paul Chiang’s Perish II, a large piece of artwork made by metal corrugated panels which were once the walls of his now demolished studio. The years of sun and rain exposure showed the trace of time and imprinted natural rust on iron. These unusual colours and texture were beauty Chiang had never seen before and irreplicable by man. He discovered that beauty overturned the established imagination of art and material. It expressed a new form of artistry which is a reflection of Chiang’s inner spirit.
【 系列介紹 】
《無名的繆思》江賢二 X 林友寒 X 周裕穎 《無名的繆思》是三位不同領域參展人為此次展覽的共同創作。藝術家如何駕馭非典型的工業建材進行創作? 建築師與服裝設計師又如何與藝術家進行對話? 創作過程有趣且具有實驗性，甚至無人能預知創作的成果。林友寒以江賢二的浪板創作建構空間與光影，周裕穎將浪板裁切為穿搭時尚， 跨界的媒材運用讓創作的路不再是線性而是蜿蜒無盡的，他們以完全不同的觀點詮釋媒材，為江賢二的藝術做出美的、造型上、精神性的回應。
Invisible Muse: Paul Chiang & Yu Han Michael Lin & Justin Chou Invisible Muse is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between artist Paul Chiang, architect Yu Han Michael Lin, and fashion designer Justin Chou. How did they depict translucent corrugated roofing sheets in their individual artistic expertise? In the process, no one could predict what the finishing works would be, yet in the end each piece emulated the spirit of Chiang’s art. Lin was inspired to create installation art that accentuates space and lighting while Chou produced inventive fashion pieces.
/ 《金樽》 江賢二 金樽系列是江賢二以建築黑模板創作的系列作品。黑模板是在建造清水混凝土建築時所使用的木製模板，在拆模之後即會被丟棄。江賢二藝術園區在建造時遺留了許多廢棄模板，江賢二將這些廢棄模板撿起，將殘留在模板上的土漬視為是自然的美麗，以水泥調合顏料、雕塑厚重肌理，賦予這些原本應被丟棄的模板新生命與價值。
Jinzun : Paul Chiang The Jinzun series was made with abandoned black exposed concrete form boards, which were used to form concrete into structural shapes. The construction of the Paul Chiang Art Center left several abandoned black exposed concrete form boards. Paul Chiang regarded the soil stains remaining on the board as natural beauty and mixed pigments and sculptures with cement to give new life and value to the discarded black exposed concrete form board. /
《江賢二藝術園區》 林友寒 X 江賢二 「建築師的角色是將建築很自然地置放在臺東自然生態環境中 ，讓建築成為藝術雕塑。」 由林友寒建築師所設計的《江賢二藝術園區》是從江賢二2007 年《13.5坪》立體雕塑出發的建築構想，是林建築師參觀江賢二畫室時偶而看見、「撿到」的經驗，靈光一閃的他當場就開始動筆繪製草圖，他思考雕塑成為空間體驗的可能，除了考慮了臺東的氣候與自然呼應的關係之外，還要達成空間所希望傳達的精神性。
Paul Chiang Art Center: Yu Han Michael Lin & Paul Chiang “My mission is to place the structure gracefully in the environment of Taitung, making the architecture an artistic sculpture.” – Yu Han Michael Lin Yu Han Michael Lin’s design of the Paul Chiang Art Center was inspired by Paul Chiang’s 13.5 ping sculpture. It blends into the vast landscape of Taitung like large sculptures immersed in nature. When Lin first saw 13.5 ping displayed in Chiang’s studio, he immediately started sketching the sculpture while considering architectural aspects of space in the natural environment of Taitung, the local weather, and the probability of replicating it into a life-size building. Lin’s goal was to create an architecture that would bring light to Chiang’s spirit. /
《旅人系列:2021 台北時裝周》 周裕穎 X 江賢二 「我嘗試學習藝術家思考創作，用藝術家的眼睛，將質感透過織布呈現出來，不裁片、透過高低層次讓觀看江賢二的創作能更加完整與豐富。」 旅人系列服裝作品是時尚設計師周裕穎於 2021年與江賢二的跨界合作。江賢二的創作生涯像是居住於不同城市的一段段旅行，周裕穎不僅透過轉譯畫面的紋理與顏色，也向江賢二以跨域媒材的創作手法學習，使用特殊剪裁、 3D緹花、數位印刷等技術讓服裝成為行走的藝術品，呈現了江老師豐盛的創作生命。
The Traveler: 2021 Taipei Fashion Week: Justin Chou & Paul Chiang “I learn to think through the artist’s eyes to present texture through the weaving of fabric. I also try to preserve the entire piece of fabric through minimal tailoring, and build layers to express Paul Chiang’s message.” – Justin Chou Justin Chou and Paul Chiang’s collaboration dubbed The Traveler series was inspired by Chiang’s creative career and a traveler who has lived in several cities. Chou reinterprets Chiang’s works through colour, texture, and takes inspiration from Chiang’s use of unconventional materials. His way of expressing Chiang’s creative energy was through a combination of skills from digital printing to Jacquard to make clothing into walking works of art. /
《旅人系列 台灣山脈》周裕穎 X 江賢二 「製作過程並不容易，還要學習著控制紗線的張力與拉力，一開始紡織廠也很抗拒。我認為創作的第一件事就是打破框架，才能創造新的可能。」 在周裕穎的眼中，瑕疵也是獨一無二的藝術品。 在嘗試轉譯江賢二的作品台灣山脈時，周裕穎馬上就聯想到以「緹花」來讓畫面中的線條變得更精緻立體，最終周裕穎選擇了被紡織廠視為瑕疵的織法；織布上被視為浮紗的瑕疵品，成為表現台灣山脈中的光線最重要的技巧。
“The Mountain Ranges of Taiwan in The Traveler series was a challenging piece. I learned to control the tension of the yarn to express the piece to its full potential. At first, the textile mill was resistant. I believe in order to create new possibilities we must have an open mind." said Chou. Chou believes that imperfections make uniqueness. In translating the Mountain Ranges of Taiwan into fashion, he preferred the Jacquard technique, an unfavoured technique due to its tendency for snags, to create three-dimensional fine lines, and more importantly, the lighting of the mountains shown in Chiang’s painting.
