23rd National Cultural Festival IBARAKI 2008 FORGOTTEN/帆画庭園] オープンスタジオ by カン・ヤ=チュ 第23回国民文化祭・いばらき2008Opening Hours11:00-18:00 

KANG Ya-chu, an artist from Taiwan has stayed and worked in Moriya for three months. Researching and eagerly absorbing Japanese tradition, society and contemporary cultures, now she portrays her own experiences with the material "abandoned paper". Please visit her studio to see the installation which is actualized through detailed handwork and sharp ideas. There will be related events including opening reception, artist talks and workshop.
 
台湾人アーティスト、カン・ヤ=チュは守谷市に約3ヶ月半滞在してきました。滞在中に様々な日本の伝統や社会、現代文化などをどん欲に吸収した彼女は、「廃棄された紙」という素材を用いてその経験を作品に昇華させます。繊細な手仕事と鋭敏な発想に裏打ちされたインスタレーションを是非体験してください。また、オープニング・パーティー、アーティスト・トーク、ワークショップなど関連イベントも開催されます。みなさま是非お気軽にご来場下さい。

無名氏無名海
描圖紙、棉線/ 共同合作表演裝置 2007
由我製作演出中的紙雕塑與紙服裝

這是一個國際性的共同合作表演結合裝置藝術的品,來自義大利、美國、日本與台灣的結合,彼此的共通點在於作品均探討關於身份的題問。此表演主題在對於旅行與城市中無名氏的關注,我為表演做了雕塑,一個個空缺的軀殼呈顯無名氏的空寂,而表演結合雕塑裝置,穿著衣物甚至到毀損破滅,將城市間ㄧ種淡淡的哀愁以具詩性優雅的步驟呈現,亦訴說了人的心理狀態,並藉由來自不同國度的藝術家,寬廣了相同主題卻不同表現的身分個體狀態,進而互相連結。〈花蓮文化創意園區&台北國際藝術村〉

It is an international collaboration between three performing artists and me from four different countries re-questioning a sense of anomie and the state of the outsider amidst travel, the city, and the non places. I made the sculpture for the performances. The sculptures present the absent figure and unknown people. The performances display the unspecified human in the world, kind of tragic situation and inside sense. The cooperation represents the response from artists’ own nationality and domicile, and then connects with others.
