十方展覽|《欲哭欲笑 哭笑不得Oscillations》Sam Alekksandra(馬耳他)個人駐留作品展
■ ■ 策展人前言 ■ ■
Curator’s Foreword
痛苦(pain)與快樂(pleasure)相伴相生且循環往復。我們的內心如同過山車一樣上上下下,留戀著過去,期待著未來。所欲而所得即喜,所欲而所不得則惡。
藝術家Sam一邊將極致的情感通過裝置及影像呈現出來,其中模糊處理的情緒是喜極而泣?或是悲痛欲絕?還是皆為遊戲?另一邊藝術家拿起筆墨在黑白之間書寫繪畫,體悟一念一想之間何為真實?東西方價值在Sam的作品中輕輕碰觸,卻也餘音嫋嫋。
正如藝術家所關注的,根本或許在於絕望與狂喜之間的模糊地帶。好比樹木生長,順應四季變化,但求中正,不蔓不枝,才能立於天地之間。於人而言亦是此理,行事不慌不忙,內心不卑不亢,判斷不偏不倚,處處都在強調一個“中”字。
奈何總起心動念,處處皆喜怒哀樂,但春秋仍然,天地依舊,是謂“天地不仁”。對於這次展覽而言,“欲哭欲笑 哭笑不得”這個名字也實有一種自嘲的意味。
近期作品包括2024年7月,與她的藝術團體在上海朱家角舉辦的展覽;2024年5月,在柏林/慕尼克舉行的多城市表演;以及2024年3月,為馬爾他首屆雙年展創作的詩意表演和裝置藝術。
Recent works include a solo show in Zhujiajiao, Shanghai with her art collective (July, 2024), a multi-city performance called LET YOUR MOVE BE RESISTANCE, (Berlin/Munich, May 2024) and HESITATIONS, a poetic performance and installation for Malta’s first biennale (March 2024).
2023年12月,她在馬爾他的Rosa Kwir畫廊推出了自己的首部實驗電影《如果你確定我想》,此前她還獲得了馬爾他國家青年藝術家獎。
She released her debut experimental film “If You’re Sure I Want To” in December 2023, at Rosa Kwir gallery in Malta, after winning a National award for promising young artists.
