癮行者-宮津大輔:一位工薪族的當代藝術收藏展
Invisibleness is Visibleness: International Contemporary Art Collection of a Salaryman-- Daisuke Miyatsu
展期:2011/07/09~09/04
進入二十一世紀,藝術從一種貴族式的享受,轉變為風靡普羅大眾的另一種文化風潮,擁有藝術收藏已不再是富豪的特權,而是每個人都可能做到的事。本次展覽聚焦呈現一位日本平民收藏家宮津大輔的當代藝術收藏,宮津以一個尋凡「工薪族」的角色,憑著對藝術的高度熱情和過人眼光,竟然在短短的十七年間,收藏了超過300件當代藝術品。本展由羅健毓女士提案策劃,精選宮津先生所收藏的53組藝術家之63件作品,內容架構從草間彌生早期作品導入,接著轉到一般收藏家不敢入手的觀念藝術作品、不同年代和類型的錄像作品、進而擴及目前他對亞洲新一代藝術家的關注與收藏,最後是集結國際藝術大師作品的新媒體藝術區,以及宮津將藝術之愛轉化為「夢想之屋 (Dream House)」的共同創作計畫。
Entering into the twenty-first century, art has transformed from an aristocratic form of entertainment into a cultural wave extending to the general public. An art collection is no longer the sole privilege of the rich, but it is something which anyone can do. This exhibition presents the contemporary art collection of Miyazu Daisuke, an art collector and Japanese “salaryman.” With a high degree of enthusiasm and extraordinary artistic vision, in a short period of 17 years, Miyazu has amassed a collection of over 300 contemporary works of art. Curated by Natasha Lo, Mr. Miyazu selected a collection of 63 works from 53 artists. The exhibition introduces from Yayoi Kusama’s early work to many concept works, various video works from different ages, and works from the new generation of Asian artists. At the end of exhibition is an assemblage of international new media artworks, and the "Dream House", a collaborative creation project that incorporates Miyazu’s love for art.
人們對於某些事物的偏愛與執著,往往會形成一種無法戒除的「癮」好;「癮行者」除了具現宮津大輔對當代藝術超凡的上癮行為和豐碩成果,也希望探討一個收藏家,在幕前幕後扶持新藝術家,或直接間接帶動一些新畫廊業的社會文化效應。在「藝術品─藝術家─藝術產業─美術館體制」這個生態鏈結中,同時存在著可視與不可視的種種關係,其中收藏者與藝術作品之間深厚的情感、與藝術家們之間相互扶持成長的過程、與相關藝術單位的交流參與,在在織現了藝術收藏行為在整體當代藝術機制中,隱形卻又可感的巨大影響力。
