聯合人與建築 Constructive Construction Conversation

DANCE TEASER 5 min

本次展覽將特別邀請目前駐里斯本的德國藝術家Lilian Enders Libeiro在上海與杭州的駐地創作 Constructive Construction Conversation首度來台展出，她與策展人在上海相識，並進行多次行動藝術合作，彼此皆對於中國過度建設工地化的情形有很深感觸，建設工程聲音無所不在，她在多處工地隨躁音起舞的錄像作品曾在德國Kiel與葡萄牙里斯本有過個展，曾來過台灣並願意再度來台表演與發表創作。

錄像作品：Constructive Construction Conversation
曾分別在德國Kiel與葡萄牙里斯本展覽過。
本件作品為女藝術家懷孕期間在杭州中國美院研究學習時，有感中國正逐漸成為一座大工地，而在各施工現場用肢體與之對話。其中一主要錄像為在「聯合人與建築」大型看板前的獨舞。

「我隨著建築工地的聲音起舞。在中國的城市沒有一條街沒有工地。建築被拆毀、重建或者新的建築日夜憑空長出。到處可聽到被迫遷的悲慘故事，尤其是在市中心的家被鏟平換到郊區的標準公寓。那些新的房屋計畫能夠創造更好的生活條件，但你失去你的社區和對家不可取代的感覺。一旦房子被市府標上拆字，它遲早就會被拆掉。中國的日常生活充斥此建設狂熱。灰塵、汙泥、特別是躁音，加上大型廣告看板正形塑現今中國任何城市的現實。我跳舞來讓大家聽見這些無所不在已被融入城市聲音的躁音，這些我們習以為常的持續躁音。」

The exhibition invites Lilian Enders Libeiro, a German artist currently based in Lisbon. "Constructive Construction Conversation" is her work while she lived in Shanghai and Hangzhou. It'll be on display for the first time in Taiwan. She met the curator in Shanghai, and collaborated in several impromptu artistic actions. Both are concerned about the ubiquitous construction sites in China. Construction sounds are everywhere. The video project in which she danced with the noise on multiple sites have been exhibited in Kiel, Germany and in Lisbon, Portugal. She has been to Taiwan and is willing to come back again to perform and produce new works.

Video work: Constructive Construction Conversation
It appeared in the artist's solo exhibition in Kiel, Germany and Lisbon, Portugal.

During her study in China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, she felt that China was becoming a huge construction site. As a pregnant female artist, she used her body to start a dialogue with each construction site. One of the main video was shot in front of a large road-side billboard with a slogan "Unite Architecture and Human Being."

"I am dancing to the sounds of counstruction sites. There is no street in a Chinese city without one. Buildings being torn down, rebuilt or new buildings are just shooting out of nowhere day and night. Tragic stories of people being relocated especially from city centers where homes are being taken away in exchange for a standard apartment in the outskirts of cities. Those new housing projects can create better living conditions, but you lose your community and the unreplacable feeling of your home. As soon as a building gets marked with the sign chai 拆 (=tear down, see foto above) by the cityhall it will sooner or later be demolished. Daily life in China is marked by this construction-mania. Dust, dirt and especially noise together with big advertising billbords are shaping the urban reality of any city in China nowadays.

I am dancing to make visible these ubiquitous noises which merge into the sounds of the city, the constant noise we got so much used to."
