展览简介 About the Exhibition
城市隐藏着各种可能性，在台北四通八达的地下街廓里，18位艺术家们聚集于此，一一展示他们私密的皮箱，我们可以由此想象一些场景和故事：一座临时搭建的排练场、一卡卡的创意皮箱和一出出人生交织的故事，即将在此发生……
The city is the home of various hidden possibilities, and in the easily accessible underground street of Taipei, 18 artists have gathered to showcase their personal suitcases. It is here that various settings and stories could be imagined. As a temporary rehearsal hall is set up, case by case, creative sparks and interwoven stories are ready to unfold.
箱子．艺术．实验秀场
【皮箱狂想曲—18位艺术家的创意逗阵】展览，在当代馆地下实验‧创意秀场，以「一卡皮箱」的概念做为衍伸，透过多位艺术家在展场现地的装置创作，发展个人的创意路向，呈现作品的独特美学与内涵。艺术家除了静态展示「箱子」(The box)作品的里与外，也在展览期间透过艺术走街的型式，穿梭于地下街廓的人文艺阵之中，让作品走出展场空间，试图贴近民众，形成趣味性的对话机制。
此项展览，试图透过多样化的作品风格与跨领域间的对话，形成一幅众声喧哗式的都会人文风景，这些一卡卡散落各角的箱子，不但混合纯粹造型和现实仿真的手法，艺术家们也各自以叙述性或自我表现的方式诠释个人经验，观者可以从中想象或感受作品的创作历程。作品中，流露着一段段关于身体、情感、旅行、记忆的意义探讨和经验追溯，藉艺术家们的巧思，转化成为多元的艺术作品类型，让观众窥见创作者的私密心情。
有人曾说，艺术家就像是流浪者，随身皮箱里所珍藏的东西，就是艺术家们的创意和灵感。每一件艺术皮箱，都将化为一个个的惊喜，贮存着每个人想记忆或捕捉的事物，观众在欣赏被艺术加工的皮箱造型时，同时亦将找到感同身受或全然惊奇的关联，进而打开自身的记忆之锁，找到更广泛的人生意义。
Box．Art．Studio
Case by Case –18 Artistic Suitcases is an exhibition at MOCA Studio Underground located in the Zhongshan Metro Mall. Extending from the concept of a single suitcase, through onsite installations, the artists are able to exhibit their personal creative directions and showcase their unique aesthetics and contents. Besides still-displays inside the Box, mobile artworks will be presented throughout the exhibition period as well, with artworks traveling to various destinations in the underground street. The objective is for art to depart from the set exhibition venue and become closer with the public, as interesting dialogues are hence formed.
Different creative styles and interdisciplinary exchanges are attempted in this exhibition, as a lively urban cultural landscape is constructed. These suitcases are scattered at various corners, and their diverse looks incorporate some mixing of pure forms and some reality simulations as well. Through unique narratives and personal expressions, the artists are able to portray their personal experiences, and the viewers are invited to let their imaginations run freely and to also connect with the creative journeys of the artworks. There are different meanings and experiences depicted in the artworks, and they prompt for thoughts about the physical bodies, emotions, travels, and memories. Through the artists’ meticulous executions, these elements are transformed into an array of special artworks, which are opened for the viewers to sneak a look at some of the most private and secretive inner thoughts of the artists.
Someone once said that artists are like wanderers, and the treasured things in their suitcases are the sources of their creativities and inspirations. Each artistic suitcase contains a great surprise, and holds something that each one of us would like to remember or capture. When you take the time to appreciate one of these artistic suitcases, a feeling of familiarity or a connection with something unexpected and surprising is opened up, as your internal memory vault is unlocked and a grander meaning for life is found.
