D-tone/ Di-stances Text / Huang Shan-Shan (Curator) Visible Distances．Invisible Stances The topic “Di-stances” of this exhibition is a thought to the modern state of human survival. As literally meant, the word “Di-stances” stands for the “Distance” not only stands for “the distance,” but also implicates “attitudes” and “stances”. Therefore, other than measuring the distance among people or between people and events by specific space or time, measuring through different positions and view angles has often become sources of conflicts and misunderstandings in contemporary society. In this named [Di-stances] exhibition, creation of works by the artists performed like a double-blade sword which, on the one hand, sharply divided the ideological barrier of the West and the East, on the other hand, also pondered bitterly upon the meaning of “motherland.” This is the profound exploration of our exhibition. When contemporaries doubt about self-existence due to variations among different environments, constant moving and migration has provided a “Distance” for people to review themselves. But how do we measure the intangible and tangible distances between different cultures? A contemporary exploration departing from Paris The initial concept of this exhibition was brought up in Paris, and was incubated and cultivated in Taipei via the brainstorm among a group of artists, and was further furnished with profound embraciveness and expansion via countless communication and adjustments. Those sparkling conversations among the artists, who came from France, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, became such creative and energetic elements to this exhibition that I had further expanded the notions and the structural framework of this exhibition. Through exchanges of opinion in Chinese, French, Japanese, and English, the curator myself and all participating artists had come to mutual understandings and respect to differences and similarities, and lead to various interpretations and performance to art. Measurement practices— to see recognitions from cross-border As per development of contemporary arts up to today, art is no longer a pursuit of aesthetic but a criticism and introspection to our society. Therefore, our exhibition is seeking to find different ways to interpret contemporary art through various fields such as video art, installation art, and photography. Culture is an instrument of communication as well as a principle of social behavior. In an independent cultural system, outsiders bring in new viewpoints, while at the same time play the role of saboteurs or revolutionaries. Sometimes they even oppose to their own systems and pose damage to the system. Behind the two competing roles hides the crisis of social unrest and tension, yet the factor of social changes. Apart from the main theme of cultural conflicts and cultural impacts, the cross-border contemporary art also presents the progress of variation, contrapuntal and the harmony. The interpretation and deconstruction of artists are deemed as “creative explanation.” This is a controversial debate across public and private areas; while on the other hand, it also demonstrates the interpretation ability of the new generation artists in this environment. We don’t reject errors and misinterpretation; on the contrary, we value such errors and misinterpretation as contrasts and chances for self-examination. Conclusion Within the first decade of the 21st century, our exhibition departs from Paris in Europe and travels to Taipei ,Tokyo and Incheon in Asia. While holding this seemingly endless traveling exhibition of contemporary art, we must bear in mind that there is no absolute solution to contemporary culture. The goal of this exhibition is to arouse more concrete and practical collisions and reactions, and to create an open communication to seek for diversified explanations and directions.
