感謝大家！

昨天是影展倒數第二天，下午，曾執導「夢幻部落」、「風中的小米田」、「夏天的尾巴」鄭文堂導演蒞臨座談。人很真誠，我很喜歡。
.
我只看過他這次為影展拍的短片「兒子」，是關於一個戒毒的兒子與母親、妹妹之間的片段故事，張力很大、很沈重。老實說看這種片我心裡是抗拒的。類似的情形也發生在看陳泰恩「沈貴妃」和陳巧薇「我們的時光」時，前者是講喪子寂寞的老婦和出嫁的女兒之間的關係，後者是關於一個平凡的家庭照顧生病的阿嬷所發生的點滴。都是太真實的故事。
.
導演兩個小時拉拉雜雜講了很多：講自己的電影經歷、台灣的電影產業、「文化詮釋權」、講影像背後的文化企圖。十分有趣的一段是關於「兩桶瓦斯」。很多台灣鄉下人家都有兩桶瓦斯，一桶燒菜，一桶洗澡。燒菜燒到一半沒瓦斯了就換接洗澡那桶，洗澡洗到一半沒熱水了就換燒菜那桶。如此不引人注目的一件事，卻是台灣人真實自然的生活樣貌。但是時代是會改變的，生活形態也是，現在看來很平凡的兩桶瓦斯，三十年以後如果在電影的某一幕裡看到，眼淚可能就會掉下來。很多土地和家鄉的東西都是在血液裡跑著的，對於創作的人是，對觀眾來說也是。這種瓦斯桶、鐵皮屋（我還想到水塔、鐵窗和鴿子屋:P）的東西日本人拍不出來、美國人拍不出來，只有台灣人拍得出來，也只有台灣的觀眾可以看到這一層的感動。
.
我之前快回台灣時也常在想這件事情。倒不只是單純的「鄉土」、「本土」、「在地」這類相對於「非鄉土」、「非本土」和「非在地」的詞彙，不只是所謂的「當代性」這個當下藝術的天條，也非一個台灣藝術家在美國所無法避免的「異國情調」。到台東來一個多月，我又在想，身為一個受西方藝術教育的台灣中部工業小鎮的中產階級乖小孩，我可以講出什麼樣的故事，關於我自己、關於我的愛人、關於台東、關於遠在山那一邊的父母與久病的阿公？
.
太多作品是濫竽充數的，太多藝術是看不清的，而自己要把握住什麼呢？
.
我六點下班了，買了盒鍋貼就騎著我車齡八年的小50往北方的海岸騎去，十五分鐘車程外的伽路蘭正在舉辦東海岸音樂季。天色將暗前的山和海籠罩著一層沈沈的靛藍，山很優雅沈靜，海則是很大很寬很廣而無止盡的深邃。海從來就是距離我好遙遠的東西啊，沒想到我居然會搬來離海這麼近的城市。風很涼很舒服，有一股淡而清新的鹹味。想來奇怪，台東市區離海近在咫尺，空氣裡卻一絲海味都沒有。
.
我到的時候陳昇的表演已經結束，只聽到一個原住民女生Lisa歌聲的尾巴，接下來則一個多小時都是日本的雷鬼樂團在台上，唱得很不錯。我晃了兩圈，也擠進台前吼了一會兒。有一些阿公阿嬤跟著搖、爸爸把小小孩頂在肩上嗨、很多年輕人、一些外國人，還有一黑一白外國臉孔動作卻很拘謹的的兩個青少年女孩，後方的土坡上還有很多家庭在野餐、煮水泡茶。我是覺得整個情形還滿妙的。
.
我九點離開，當時是日本愛奴族的音樂家在台上。
以上，我的台東小小生活。八月二十三號。

就降，我要畢業了，有一個快閃的五天的展覽。
有空就坐飛機來看看吧，哎呀呀！

幾百年沒出現了，今天下午在網路上神遊，在這裡發現一篇文章，挺...讚的......原始出處看這裡。
.
另外最近在看春上隆的"藝術創業論"，裡面有一篇講述他幫助一位助理「蛻變」成為風格獨具的藝術家的過程。春上隆這樣敘述他的："我剛認識他的時候，他正在準備美術學校的畢業作品，類似義大利貧窮藝術(Arte Povera)風格的「垃圾山貧乏藝術」，就是那種恨不得昭告天下自己多喜歡藝術的半調子美術大學風格裝置藝術。"(145)
.
這講的不就是我嗎??(汗)
春上隆這傢伙在Artfacts上是193名，行情上漲中。Artfacts這是一個很炫的網站，有空可以看看，查查自己心目中喜愛的藝術家的"戰鬥力"。目前第一名是安迪沃荷。
.
這世界真是血淋淋呀 $___$
.
還有，我五月就畢業啦，不會留在紐約，直接打包回台灣往台東前進!!!
這一篇沒什麼重點，基本上就是紀錄一則。

.
我最近整理了一個新的網路作品集，有興趣來看看！
夏天到了，真好呀 :)

A Review of a Retrospective of Martín Ramírez at
The American Folk Art Museum
.
.
Martín Ramírez (1895–1963), who has 97 selected drawings in the show at The American Folk Art Museum, was a tragic Mexican American artist. As many immigrants at that time, in 1925, he left his homeland and family, came to California in order to have a better job. At first he worked in a railroad company and mines, but a few years later he lost his job because of the Great Depression. One day in 1931, he was picked up by police on the street then sent to a state hospital, where he received a diagnosis of manic depression. After that, he had been moved to several different institutions, and until his death, he was confined and never went back to Mexico. On pieced together paper with whatever materials he could get, he did over 300 drawings in his restricted life. Most of them have stressful structures and parallel lines depicting Mexican Madonnas, cowboys, trains, tunnels and landscapes, which deeply refer to the features of his homeland that only appeared in his dream. ...繼續閱讀

As I told you last time, yesterday, my friends and I went to NYC to see The Armory Show. It was a beautiful day. Temperature was warm. Breeze, sunshine, and the expectation of coming spring was appearing everywhere in Manhattan. After we arrived the city, the first destination was MoMA, which had an exhibition about Edvard Munch(You can see the on-line audio tour in this website). His paintings were unique, but not good for health...ha. You know, most of them were full of sadness and despair. We stayed in MoMA from 10:30 to 12:00. After lunch, we took taxis to the Amory Show directly. The show was located at upper west, on two huge piers by the Hudson River. There were hundreds of galleries form all of the world gathering here and promoting their artists, and I heard French, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and some other languages that I couldn't recognize. This afternoon, we spent about 4 hours at that place but just skimmed over in a rush. Since I couldn't stop taking pictures and it was too difficult to pay attention on each work, after coming back and looking through all my pictures, some of them I even couldn't remember that I had seen in the show. The Amory Show was good, although It was held by galleries and we can't deny that it was a commercial place. By these diverse and vibrant works, we could feel the fascination of art (and money), and it is what we have to build up for the environment of art in Taiwan. People love art here. They talk about art, buy art, be proud of art. And art itself not only feeds back by wealth, but also inspires design, architecture, fashion, and etc. Isn't it a good business? Of course, art is art itself, and too mush business thing doesn't mean good for it. However...ha...let's see those pictures!

After the Amory Show, do you know what? We went to Whitney Biennial because of the free Friday night. Wasn't it crazy? It was too much art in one day! I was so tired and just looked around so fest. This exhibition was very good. I think it was better than the Armory Show in certain ways. They were different, I know, but I will definitely go Whitney again. This exhibition will be still on in the end of May.

In the end of the day, we took the last bus at 11:30 back to New Paltz...I was exhausted...Gosh...my legs... ...繼續閱讀
