在這個科技當道的世代，從8歲到80歲人手一支智慧型手機與世界動脈接軌, 手機和3C等設備為現代人的必需品，改變了人們的社交行為與生活方式。還記得上一次是什麼時候寫張卡片問候朋友？好好讀一本書？行走在這個城市可曾端倪過街弄小巷的建築？居住的大樓是長什麼樣子？

這一系列展出作品的題材，希望透過藝術家的作品讓觀賞者得到反思與沉澱，觀眾在安靜的作品中看到是虛擬的還是現實的環境?可有印象從家裡到上班的路程的樣貌？來到好思當代所處的城中區，您可曾注意這些建築物及2016前北門的樣貌? 或在水泥叢林中您可曾發現百年的遺址？

“Alternative Vision” is the second art exhibition held by Haohaus in 2016, and the exhibition will take place in Taipei and Hsinchu at the same time. The exhibition invites four Taiwanese artists Tsai Wei-Ting, Zheng Chong-Xiao, Chen Fei-hao, Yen Tzu-Sung and the British artists Tom Rook, Helen Kirwan and Simon Pruciak to participate. The openings are going to take place together at the Taipei and Hsinchu galleries of Haohaus at 2pm respectively on the 26th and 27th of March.

In the age of technology, smartphones are the medium for everyone, from an eight years old child to an elder of eighty, to reach the world. Mobile phones and computers are necessary tools for modern people, which change our social behaviors and lifestyles; Do you remember when was the last time you sent a handwritten greeting card to your friend? When was the last time you read a book? Have you taken a good look at the buildings on the streets and alleys? Can you describe the look of the building you live?

This exhibition attempts to provide viewers a chance of self-reflection and contemplation through engaging themselves with the artworks. Do you see virtual or real environment on these still paintings? Do the works recall to you the street scenes on your way from home to work? On your way to our Taipei gallery in Chengzhong district, did you notice any of the buildings and the look of Taipei Old North Gate before 2016? Have you found a historic relic from the concrete jungle?

These seven artists invited by Haohaus are going to show how they observe, record and present our living environment in different ways; with their own polishing and modification, they bring new life to the tradition, and their works allow people to pay new attention to our surroundings as well as bring new feelings to the ordinary living.

藝術家簡介

蔡煒廷/ 生活場域的頓號

將寫生行為視作別於相機即時捕捉影像的紀錄方式，置身在穿梭的巷弄、急促的路口、繁雜的高樓、來往的人群，等視覺如浮光掠影的空間場域中，以”慢”的姿態停滯於此城市型態的頓點上，在時間與官能的相互作用下，放大主體的感覺刺激。在觀看經驗中，辨識城市(空間)傳遞出的訊息。藉由繪畫形式紀錄感覺認知，以勾勒日常即景的輪廓為基礎，在畫面層次裡運用媒材特性的滴流、乾擦、罩染等視覺感呈現模糊、不確定的氛圍特性，抽絲剝繭地挖掘身體、生活、城市間的彼此關係。

Tsai Wei-Ting
Turn creative ideas into messages, and send them out by his art works
Born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1984, Tsai graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at Chinese Culture University. Tsai is concerned with the various ways life is treated because it reflects the relation between the individual and the society. The individual, the bottom unit of social structure, is the core value for his creativity. From one’s living experiences, living status to social phenomena, can become what motivates his creation. However, how to narrate these events in his works and the messages perceivable, is the major direction for Tsai's creative project.




鄭崇孝/ 未來的世界為什麼都是嘟嘴男孩

科技的不斷發展讓人類的生活品質越漸提高，我們不斷的使用地球資源造成了環境上的反撲，他關注人類跟機器的關係以及人類跟環境的關係，嘗試使用中國文人畫的山水背景進行構圖挪用，在內容上安排了許多未來科技產物、再生能源的發展、以及全人類的夢想等等，除了畫面經營有趣的敘事外, 更希望能夠透過畫作帶給人們對於文明發展的省思。

Zheng Chong-Xiao Paintings with a re-examination and reflection of modern civilization
His oil paintings often adopt the structure of traditional and renowned Chinese landscape paintings as the background, but reinterpret them by employing future technological products such as renewable energy, robots and flying machines, attempting to seek a balance between nature and technology in the transition of time and space. Zheng shows concerns with the relations of human, with machine and environment, so he uses recycled canvas to produce his works. His straightforward narrative style leads viewers to appreciate his landscape while thinking about the future symbiosis between the development of civilization and the environment.

顏子淞 / 抽象、極簡詮釋個人的生活經驗

早期作品多以傳統黑白(B&W)底片進行街頭式攝影(Snapshot)，影像內容大都帶有黑色幽默，透過獨特的觀察力，帶來一連串富有想像空間的影像。除了街頭式攝影，藝術家近年來將創作重心轉向抽象與極簡主義，藉由幾何構圖的影像來詮釋個人或是特定形式的生活經驗。

Yen Tzu-Sung /Stringing series of images with black humor through unique observations
Born in 1979 in Taipei, Taiwan, Yen’s early works were carried out in the style of reportage photography using traditional black and white film. His images were shot under his unique observations, stringing series of images with black humor that leaves the audience space for further imagination. In recent years, other than reportage photography, Yen also focus on abstract and minimalism as a way to express his personal or a particular style of life experience.

陳飛豪 / 詩意的夢境歷史

運用觀念式的攝影影像詮釋歷史文化、社會變遷與科技發展下所衍生出的各種議題。將攝影影像與各種媒介如裝置、錄像與文學作品等等結合，探討不同媒介間交匯結合後所產生的各種可能性，將艱深、沉重的過去，以優雅夢境般的詩意呈現。

Chen Fei-Hao / Using conceptual photography to articulate various issues
Born in 1985, Chen is currently studying at the Graduate Institute of Trans-disciplinary Arts of Taipei National University of the Arts. His specialty is to articulate the issues developed by history, social changes and technology evolvement with conceptual photography images. In recent years, Chen has been combining photography with various media such as installations, videos, and literature, exploring the possibilities made under the intersection of these assorted medias.


Tom Rook / 以繪畫記錄生活

創造一個嶄新的觀看城市的方式，從城市的變遷到都會旁的大自然。彷彿存在另一個平行時空的台灣，但是它所呈現的一切細節與紋理仍然源自所觀察到的這個現實中的台灣。這系列的創作中，某部份建物是真實存在於台北與台灣的其他地區，部份則是想像的創作。但就所創造的圖像而言，他試圖在其中保留台灣某一段時期的獨特建築風格。

Tom Rook Recording memories and the world with maps and cityscapes.
His drawings mainly deal with cities, change, and the complexity of the urban and natural. His drawings focus on detail, and encompass both real and abstract places.
From a young age he has been recording memories and the world around him with maps and cityscapes. Illustrated maps capture a place in an absorbing way, and moving into new landscapes in Taiwan has intensified the creative process. They form both a journal, and a means of discovering a place.

Simon Pruciak & Helen Kirwan / 經驗 經豔 驚豔

平凡遼闊的寧靜大海，在鏡頭下被分割3等區塊，圖像意味著無限的，超越「人」的想像或概念。如古希臘哲學家赫拉克利特提及，最終的現實是無限的，不致死亡或腐爛，而是反覆的重新延續。因此，可以的話， “ 離別時不要悲傷“。希望透過藝術家的作品，重新關注我們的生活，我們的朋友、親人或曾與我們接觸過的人們。重新思考出生、生存、死亡；開頭、中間、結尾；過去、現在、未來；天，地，水；身體、靈魂和精神，而有不同的經驗和看法甚至轉變。

Simon Pruciak & Helen Kirwan Encounter the potential for interpretation and even transformation through his/her own experiences and perceptions.
This video, is inspired by Tennyson’s poem Crossing the Bar in which he contemplates his own transition from life to death in terms of putting out to sea. It seems to comprise one static image showing the elements earth, sea and sky in three layers; however, they begin to ‘move’ slowly across the screen, shifting as if in a process of transition.
An ambiguity between movement and stillness, the discontinuous and the continuous is suggested by the slight movement of almost static images. Time seems suspended as seascape follows seascape in one continuous progression. Whilst firmly of this world, they imply the infinite and the universal.
Ultimate reality is infinite, not subject to death or decay hence there need be ‘no sadness of farewell’.
The division of the frame into the thirds of earth, sea and sky, each section equally relevant and irrelevant, creates symmetry evoking the tranquility which Tennyson hopes for during his voyage.
The video encourages the viewer to linger and reflect on mortality, to encounter the potential for interpretation and even transformation.
