後地方拓樸 Topography of POST.0

POSTO的架構:

重新思考與創造「地方性」是POSTO的重要呈現,是一種絕對零點(意即「獨特」) 的「地方性」,重新回到思考台灣的「零度」狀態,或至少指向一種地方尚未形成的「進 行式」;POSTO從陸地與海洋的動態聯繫出發,一個陸上的定點展出與海上的動態創作方 案,企圖從陸地建構「行動」的基礎呈現,然後從航行的創作動態中將展廳中觀眾的視野 帶向海洋,陸上的展覽將因為海上動態上傳與更新而成為「流變中」的展覽,而海上的動 態也因為陸塊的觀看而在更為廣大的虛擬視域中拉扯著知覺的力線。

《後地方》評估一個處於「不確定」的區域脈絡中的藝術主體化過程,包括作品、實 踐者(藝術家、社群)、藝術論域,以及其中「生存意志」如何透過「再脈絡化」的過程 介入社會。把藝術的主體化從藝術語言論域帶到藝術家生存條件的考量,主體化(一個參 與狀態中的)作為創作的美學基本條件,對於藝術家的一種前進意識的掌握,側重於(文 化的)自我生產與藝術主體再脈絡化的過程。(以下的分項並非條列式,而是行動的「方 位」)

​

E：政治性的美學配置--藝術家是個體對現實狀況,以其各自不同的態度進行勞動。 存在的必要性本身就是一個想像的概念,與環境的互動是一連串綿密的感覺互動過程。藝 術家提供身在社會中的想像,提供出一些虛擬的事物,但是這個虛擬比較像一個詩的結 構,這詩的結構被放在一個現實實境中,放在社會背景中它就成為一種過程,是一個真實 的過程,在實境中才激化想像的不同途徑,屬於感性重新分配的層面,或者說,美學具有 出場的必要性。

​

W：藝術行動者的非同一性認同--藝術家以調查者、保存回憶的人、處理外來語、(文 化的)自我生產者等等身份進入「地方」,事實上是總是一個多重身份的人。透過這些行動 的過程碰觸到「認同」所產生的張力。「認同」如何藉由「它者」來達成?認同的主體化 是什麼?《後地方》是一種在面對認同時生產差異性的力量,以形成屬於自己的地方性, 企圖提出一個不同於「邊界」、「解域」、「在地」的思考路徑。

​

S：作品在場的「作品之外」--「作品之外」或「非作品化」的概念,並非以作品的 缺席進行表述,而是來自於作品與社會的細緻接合或密切的對質,意即我們-作品-社會 之間的互動關係重新配置。因此,作品的在場不是為了某種純粹的作品自身,而是重塑著 當代藝術家與社會之間的介面,而且這重塑的行動本身或狀態即成為介面的內容。《後地 方》展呈的是作品在場時,在潛在與實際的互動底下所形成的「地方性」。

​

N：未來的公共性--現實的關注轉到社會場域,以及藝術家跟公共領域的聯繫等 等,其中涉及的不只是物理空間的公共性,還有媒體的公共性(如國際情境主義)等諸多 面向。以國際情境主義的狀況為例,當時處在於世界經濟體強固化的時代,致使產生一種 反對態度的行動,具體的關於「資本」問題上的行動主義,對於土地的資本可以透過空間 的利用方式,重新掌握空間佈署的行動。一九六零年代的行動本身或許被收編了,因為在 行動中面對公共場域的龐大力量無法如藝術家與知識份子所想像的單純。但存留的抵抗態 度,卻足以成為今日全球化語境下以藝術之姿進行轉變與解放的基礎:進入公共場域更複 雜的態度,對環境介面的再製造。

《後地方》邀集了13組藝術家,除了現場作品的展出之外,將以一個圈劃的航行行動 (船從淡水出航行經高雄西子灣、花蓮大港口,再回到原點淡水碼頭),透過一個在本島 外圈的部署導向重新指出一個「地方」的事實。

The structure of POSTO:

Rethinking and creating what we call “local characteristic” is the important presence and the main concept of POSTO, it is a kind of absolute zero point (means “uniquely”), return to think about the zero point situation of Taiwan, or to point out the action still moving on in a place. POSTO proceeds from land and marine dynamic connection. An exhibition, with the maritime dynamic project and a fixed position by land, attempt to build a exhibition that is continually flowing. (The following items are not the pieces of person who arrange, but the ' the position ' of taking action)

​

E. Disposition of the political aesthetics:

The artist is an individual to carry on work with its own attitudes to the realistic state. Necessity of existing itself is a concept of imagination; it is a successive process of feeling and interacts with the environment. The artist offers the imagination in the society, offer out some fictitious things, but these inventions are compared like the structure of a poem, the structure of this poem is put in a Real now. It becomes a kind of course to put in the social background, it is a true course, just sharpen different ways to imagine in the real border, it is belong to the perceptual aspect that redistributes, in other words, aesthetics has necessity of appearing on the scene.

​

W. The identity no-identified of artivist:

Artist with investigator, memories keeper, treatment foreign language, (cultural) self- producers, etc. such identities to enter ' the place ', in fact, the artist is always a person of a multiple identity. Touch to the tension produced through the course of these actions. POSTO is a kind of lasting strength of difference, in order to touch local characteristic oneself.

​

S. The works are present ' outside the works ':

The concept of “outside the works” or “no-artefactified”, is not deal with absence of works but come from the connection and confrontation between works and the society, means the inter-dynamic relation between We - Works - Society is reconfigured. So art works presenting is not for a certain pure works oneself but reinvent an interface of contemporary artist and society.

​

N. The public possibility of future:

The exhibition is concerned about how to put the reality of art into the social field, how to connect artists and public field, not only the public field of physical space but also the public field of media. As the action of International Situationist, they deal with the problems of capital by many events of reusing public space. This attitude still continues in this globalization contemporary world, the artist remake more interface in the complicated situation.
