CO-Q” Young Taiwan Artists from Nobody Collection
Young British Artists From The Saatchi Collection” – there is a line written on the cover of Sensation, an exhibition that made YBA well known at 1997. A group of young artists were noticed through the Saatchi’s over-hype issue, and it is a
history of art” nowadays. A giant strawberry jelly, The Gelatin Age, fell on MOCA in 2008, at the time of China Politic Image bubble. A group of Chinese young artists born in 1980s was named as
Jelly” sociologically by Zhang Qing, the curator of this exhibition. The art field people in Taiwan has started to discuss the issue of young age and named it
muttering” since 2003. Until recently, people just care about the name but not the action. However, what makes me confused is that the art filed just mutters. We have talked a lot issues and appealed people to critic the young frustration beside the politic and art. Whatever we left behind the Young Age except the critical logic?
Young Taiwan Artist From Nobody Collection” responds to the exhausted land and the plight that we can’t escape whatever we say. In this boring art filed, mirage is the only way to wrest minute space for young age to breath and create under the critical system of politic and muttering, and the difference between the gallery business and freedom of creature. Academia and business can’t assure both the freedom and image of art that exist in the space. To be a member of Young Age, I must induce a calling for my generation by planning an exhibition. CO-Q can’t stand for the young age in Taiwan, at least it is not a name from the elder generation! (By/Su, Sam)
