Desert X 2023

 

 
 
 

               一年一度的Desert X 展覽在2023年審視了社會和環境主題,重點關注為氣候危機、全球化以及隨之而來的政治和經濟移民為世界帶來的變化。

 

 Desert X 2023 examines social and environmental themes with a focus on the changes that give form to a world increasingly shaped by climate crisis , globalism, and the political and economic migrations that follow in their wake.

1225號鏈環網    藝術家|林蛙

 

從遠處觀看來自孟加拉裔英國藝術家林蛙的作品《1225號鏈環網 2022-23》,像是一個在沙漠地面上漂浮的閃爍的金字塔狀彩霧,作品由同一中心點向外延伸呈現,呼應了這些散布在南加州科切拉谷的鐵絲欄圍網,這個迷宮般的封閉結構允許光線、空氣、沙子和水以及人們自由穿越,隱喻一個矛盾的現象:最為封閉的地方,卻是最自由的地方。

 

 

No.1225 Chainlink   Artist|Rana Begum
 
Approached from a distance, Rana Begum’s No.1225 Chainlink 2022-23 appears as a shimmering pyramidal haze of color floating above the desert floor. Taking the form of a series of concentric rings that respond to the ubiquity of the chain link fence spread across the Coachella Valley, the maze-like structure of containment, allows light and air, sand and water, as well as people, to filter through, revealing a paradox whereby the place of greatest confinement is that of greatest freedom.

沉浸式體驗  藝術家|杰拉爾德.克拉克

 

《沉浸式體驗》是由一位印第安裔美國藝術家、農夫和教育家杰拉爾德.克拉克創作的一個作品,以卡惠拉(Cahuilla)原住民傳統的盤繞編織籃子「chi-pat-mal」為原型,被放大為一個巨大的遊戲棋盤。唯有正確回答有關卡惠拉印地安人和其他主權文化傳統和歷史的問題,才能到達中心的目標,克拉克藉由歷史遊戲化隱化了偏見。

 

Immersion  Artist|Gerald Clarke

 

Immersion by rancher, artist and educator Gerald Clarke takes the form of a traditional Cahuilla coiled basket or ‘chi-pat-mal’ scaled to become a giant game board. The goal of reaching the center can only be achieved by correctly answering questions relating to the traditions and histories of the Cahuilla Indians and other sovereign cultures. By gamifying history Clarke sublimates prejudice. 

 

納馬克納扎爾  藝術家|喜馬里.辛格.索因 & 戴維.索因.塔佩瑟

 

在《納馬克納扎爾》中,作品有生命力的物質/物質的慾望是由印度裔的跨領域藝術家喜馬里.辛格.索因和英國藝術家戴維.索因.塔佩瑟共同創作,他們邀請參觀者以多感官的方式,藉由環境感受其中,激發了人們關懷並深刻的思考生態環境和家園的失去,並透過呼籲人類與自然界和諧相處,尋求安全感和愛的力量。

 

 

 

Namak Naza  Artist | Himali Singh Soin & David Soin Tappeser

 

For Namak Nazar, Himali Singh Soin and David Soin Tappeser of Hylozoic/Desires invite visitors to think through ecological loss and the loss of home, seeking shelter somewhere in the radicality of love in their immersive audio-visual environments. 
 
 

沉睡的身影  藝術家|馬特.約翰遜

 

馬特.約翰遜的《沉睡的身影》可能是立體派對於古典宮女主題的演繹,只是這裡的正方體是貨櫃,而這些裝載貨物、商品的貨櫃屬於國際貿易供應鏈的一部分。此作品的概念是在當時一艘集裝貨櫃輪船,由日本擁有、台灣公司經營、德國管理、巴拿馬旗下和印度操作,在埃及管轄區域封鎖蘇伊士運河長達六天時所創作,藝術家約翰遜以此表達了陷入經濟斷鏈崩潰的景況。

 

 

 

Sleeping Figure  Artist|Matt Johnson

 

Sleeping Figure by Matt Johnson might be a cubist rendition of a classical odalisque except here the cubes are shipping containers and the harem to which they belong is that of the globalized movement of goods and trade. Conceived at the time when a Japanese-owned, Taiwanese-operated, German-managed, Panamanian-flagged and Indian-manned container behemoth found itself for six days under Egyptian jurisdiction while blocking the Suez Canal, Johnson’s figure speaks to the crumples and breaks of a supply chain economy in distress. 

流動的地方  藝術家|托克瓦斯.戴森

 

《流動的地方》是美國當代藝術家托克瓦斯.戴森的作品,這是他持續進行的系列作品之一,藉由這個大型雕塑裝置調節著一般人體對於水的記憶,與處於沙漠中對於的水記憶。我們的身體是存在和精神生存的載體,是故事和水的庫藏。這些載體如何與我們的設計相關,一個能容納和包容他們的建築物與其之間的關係,這對於我們如何計畫未來至關重要。

 

Liquid A Place   Artist|Torkwase Dyson

 

Liquid a Place by Torkwase Dyson is part of an ongoing series in which the sculptural installation becomes a mediation between the memory of water in the body and the memory of water in the desert. Our bodies are themselves arcs, vessels of existential as well as spiritual survival, reservoirs of stories and reservoirs of water. How these vessels relate to the architectures we design to house and contain them is essential to how we consider the future. 

原創者  藝術家|提爾·尼科爾斯

 

《原創者》不僅代表了一個被殘酷地剝奪發展機會的願景,也象徵著所有因制度性種族主義被授權暴力而失去生命的人,其所具有的潛力。在這裡,尼科爾斯遭受警察攔截經歷的恐懼,和許多人站在路肩的人,與這些懸吊影像的寂靜之美形成了鮮明對比,這個作品提醒著世人,許多不必要的死亡都在那裡發生。但就像這個願景一樣,訊息也是充滿希望的:希望透過對假借攔截停車的限制,加州能在警察改革方面開拓新的道路。

 

Originals  Artist|Tyre D. Nichols

 

Originals represents not just a vision that was brutally denied the opportunity to develop but the potential of all those individuals whose lives have been lost to the state sanctioned violence of institutional racism.  Here the silent beauty of these levitated images stands in stark contrast with the terror experienced by Nichols and so many others on the shoulder below. But as with the vision the message is also one of hope: hope that with restrictions on pretextual stops California can lead the way in police reform.

 

幻獸  藝術家|赫克托.薩莫拉

 

墨西哥藝術家赫克托.薩莫拉的作品《幻獸》涉及參觀者的參與,要求他們質疑材料的日常使用和空間的功能,這次展覽,將街頭小販轉化為由氣球製成的行走雕塑,這些小販在科切拉山谷無所不在,但在景觀中往往不被注意。當參觀者購買氣球,帶回家並與小販互動的過程中,這些氣球也逐漸消散,此展帶給小販們一個有尊嚴的空間,也讓參觀者能夠與他們互動。

 

Chimera   Artist|Héctor Zamora

 

Héctor Zamora’s Chimera implicates visitors’ participation and requires them to question the everyday uses of materials and the functions of space, in this case transforming street vendors, who are ubiquitous in the Coachella Valley but are often invisible in the landscape, into walking sculptures made of balloons, which dissipate as visitors buy the balloons, take them home, and interact with the vendors in a space of dignity.
