第二波美術館熱潮[摘要] | 各期學報

摘要

2014年臺港兩地接力展開關鍵性的社會運動──春天有臺灣的「318太陽花學運」，秋冬出現香港的「雨傘革命」；在這兩次運動進行的當下，藉由藝術視覺化、具體化與情感化運動的訴求，體察到藝術於社會運動中扮演相當重要的角色。本文著眼於藝術與運動之間不同階段的關係，詢問當運動遠離之後，議題漸消退於日常生活之中，藝術之於社會運動有何可能？透過分析藝術家陳界仁的三件動態影像藝術作品：《加工廠》（2003）、《路徑圖》（2006）與《殘響世界》（2014），用以回應此議題。此三件作品皆與某一特定的社會運動直接相關，但又與之保持距離，且作品製作於運動落幕許久之後，採用一種間接行動的路徑。本文不以動態影像角度切入，轉而關注其工作方法，歸納出「社群共謀」、「（非）表演」、「（現）場／非現場」三個特殊的工作方法。本文認為正因這些獨特的工作方法使藝術得以在運動遠離之後再延續、再生產與再傳播。藝術之於社會運動的力量所在，即因其以「沒有位置的位置」提供異議與想像之空間。藝術不應受限於運動現場的時效性與有效性框架，運動落幕之後更是藝術發揮所長之時：重新喚醒被遺忘的過去，揭露運動過程被遮蔽的多種聲音，為既有的社會運動框架打開新的空間與可能。

Abstract

In 2014, there were two critical social movements emerged subsequently- Sunflower Student Movement in Taiwan and Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. Within these two social movements, art played a significant role to visualize, embody and emotionalize the appeal of social movements. This essay focuses on the relationship between art and social movement at different stages and question that long time after the social movement, when the concerned issues disappearing gradually in the daily life, what art could do with this? Three works by artist Chen Chieh-jen: "Factory" (2003), "Route" (2006) and "Realm of Reverberations" (2014) are taken as case studies to respond this inquiry. These three works relate to specific social movements but meanwhile keep a distance. All of them were produced long after the social movements they related to. In other words, Chen took an indirect approach.

This essay, different from previous researches of Chen's works, will not take a perspective of moving image, rather focus on the working methods that artist applies. "Community Collusion", "(No) performance", "Site/Non-site" are three methods summarized form this analysis. This essay points out the fact that these three methods make art extend, reproduce and recommunicate after those social movements. The power of art with social movement is art located in a place with no place so that it could provide a space to image and debate. Art should not be limited within the framework of on-going social movement. The period after social movement might be a better moment for art: art could recall the forgotten past, reveal the hidden multi-voices in the process of social movement, and open new space and possibility for the social movement which is getting rigid.
