Jun 10 - Jul 29, 2023 大河美術將舉辦《 THE FEAST 》聯展，集結 8 位海外亞裔藝術家，包含 Lili Lee、Mai Ta、Ness Lee、Peter Chan、Stanley Chen、Tessar Lo、Timothy Bair 與 Yi-Shuan Lee，開啟一場細膩的藝術盛會。《 THE FEAST 》核心概念為匯聚共鳴與身分的自我覺察。從鑰匙孔望入，暗示展覽強烈的帶入目的，蠟燭開啟了一場儀式，形塑了與觀者的對話場域。長餐桌作為一種凝聚集體記憶同時蘊含傳統階級意識的象徵，這些擁有特殊流動身分的海外藝術家們，在此端上各種佳餚，試圖透過創作來掙脫框架，而「亞裔」的特質卻又讓觀者能夠從中發現與自身共鳴的痕跡，進而回應其個別身分歸屬與存在的價值。藉由一張餐桌、一場盛宴，《 THE FEAST 》開啟對於觀看世界的另一個討論。本次參展藝術家雖來自各種不同的文化背景，卻能透過與人們重疊的身分而對作品產生更多思考的視角，我們期望觀者完整的沈浸在空間裡，享受這場充滿記憶律動的深度饗宴。RIVER ART GALLERY will hold the group show “THE FEAST”, bringing together eight overseas Asian artists, including Lili Lee, Mai Ta, Ness Lee, Peter Chan, Stanley Chen, Tessar Lo, Timothy Bair, and Yi-Shuan Lee, to initiate a refined art gathering.
The core concept of “THE FEAST” is to gather resonance and self-awareness of identity. Looking through the keyhole implies the exhibition’s strong intention of immersing, while candles ignite a ritual that shapes the diaLogue space with the viewers. The Long dining table, as a symbol of condensing collective memory and carrying traditional class consciousness, becomes a platform where these overseas artists with distinctive fluid identities serve various delicacies, attempting to break free from constraints through their creations. Yet, the “Asian” quality enables viewers to discover traces of resonance within themselves, responding to the individual values of their own identity and existence. Through a table and a feast, “THE FEAST” opens up another discussion on how we perceive the world. Despite coming from diverse cultural backgrounds, the participating artists, through their identities overlapping with the viewers, can offer different perspectives that encourages deeper reflection on the artworks. We hope that viewers can fully immerse themselves in the space and enjoy this profound feast filled with the rhythm of memories. Read more -

He not only touches upon human helplessness of being restricted by labor works but also imagines man-made objects’ true feelings of diligent working in humanistic view, hoping to reunderstand human condition and the relationship between human and man-made objects during endless wars between human and their desires.
