The Lake : Towards a Cross-Cultural Dialogue
Recent Photography, Sound, and Text from Australia and Taiwan
Introduction : On Cultural Exchange and Curatorial Practice as Artistic Practice
The conception of this project begins with my inclusion in the Asialink Artist Exchange Residency Program to represent Taiwan in Australia. As a means to further the idea of ‘cultural exchange’ and maximize the capacity for this exchange, I chose to utilize a combination of curatorial and collaborative practices as a strategy to instigate a dialogue with photographic practitioners in Sydney. This approach allows me to understand this new land, its histories and landscape through the perspectives and voices of those who are most familiar with the place, its residents. My positions as both an artist and project organizer allow me to be a colleague-like inquirer, while the slightly formal air added by the organizer role helps to distil the dialogue and exchange.
The Lake as Subject : Retracing Intuition
‘The Lake’ as a subject came to me intuitively. There is not a significant personal experience that triggered this topic to my mind, though if I attempt to analyse this intuition, stretching it a bit, it can lead to the English translation of the title of the last novel, ‘The Lake’, by the acclaimed Japanese author Yusanari Kawabata, a writer of utmost delicate subtlety, and certainly a curious last work for those who have followed his writings. This aside, I am drawn to this subject for its reference to an intimate space, a place one might recall, a place for recall, to backstroke on its reflective surface, to camp near by, and dream, sink, into the deep black, green, blue, the transparent dark. To fish, for food, mostly bigmouth bass, as I did with Roger, my friend, neighbor, in New York, just before 9/11… For me, a lake covers a rather small lot of land, perhaps closer to the definition of a pond. But there is latitude on it’s size. Through conversations I’ve had with other artists in Sydney, I've learned that for many, it represents a vast expanse of space. I absorb a little shock every time the answer is different from mine, but the wide latitude of opinions indeed lends itself for varied interpretations.
The Context of a ‘Lake’ for Each Contributor to Consider
“The Lake” in this project, serves as a conceptual springboard and a marker for a specific geographic location, a photographic exercise, since the catalyst for this project begins with ‘cultural exchange’, it is a pertinent context for each artist to consider. For me, this project is also a meditation on geography, a sense of space, a fieldtrip, an exercise to learn a little more about where we are. The initial audience for this project is already predetermined. The audience is the participating artists, those who will own these stories, the twelve Australians and twelve Taiwanese. What do we tell one another about where we are from? Where are you telling this from? For me this project is created in the hopes of allowing me and others in Taiwan to learn more about Australia through the eye : photography, the mind : the interpretation + imagination, and the heart : text, the craft, of the ones, that are from the inside - and vice versa, for the Australians to get a glimpse of Taiwan through the Taiwanese.
Interpretation on the subject of ‘The Lake’ is open, though locale information and personal relationship to the site must be provided. Texts provided by each artist will be an integral part of the exhibition and will play a central part in providing the context for which the photograph will be experienced. Each artist is encouraged to provide additional textual anecdotes about the place they have chosen to depict. For in the end, or the beginning, the finished work/stories will be sent to Taiwan to be assembled, subsequently, it will be resent with the other half of the prints/stories back to Australia.
The Lake: as a recounting, to someone afar.
Chance Encounters and Curatorial Decisions in Sydney, Australia
The inclusion of the Australian artists here does not represent a survey of contemporary Australian photography, for I knew very little of Australia prior to my arrival, or the art community of Sydney. For me, the mining of artists from another country, to represent a nation, would take a team of professionals closer to two plus years or more, not through a two plus months residency of a single artist. I perceive this project as chance encounters, but most often, ‘informed’ chance encounters, with the people that I have met in Sydney and Brisbane between October and December of 2003. The singular and essential criteria that I have for inclusion requires that we each have had a viewing and discussion of each others' work: an exchange. These artists come to me through consultations and recommendations from various administrators of various fine art institutions, directors, professors, gallery owners, managers, and artists - resources that are available to me as a newcomer to the city. Those who are here, in town, in this enormous country, those who may have recently exhibited, represented, may perhaps be more visible, coupled with my own readings of journals, essays of various photography exhibition catalogues, visits to museums, galleries, artist studios, as well as artists I befriended throughout my stay at the Gunnery Studios, atop of Artspace, both hotbeds of artistic production, where I have gathered much information.
Chance Encounters and Curatorial Decisions in Taipei, Taiwan
As a relatively new resident in Taiwan (just over two years), my native home from which I immigrated from in 1982, and subsequently never returned, the dehabilitating problem with language in my mother country is an overwhelming task to conquer. This project based on the exchange is perhaps masked over by the exchange between Taiwan and Australia, but the subtext, which could easily be reinstitute as the central text is that it may be an exchange between the United States and Taiwan and Australia. As I write this essay in English, it reminds me and remarks on my foreignness and distance to the history and geography of Taiwan. In order to counter erasure from which time can take its toll and retrace the path from which roots take hold on the supple surface of the mother tongue, that such a project on cultural exchange and understanding is an ever-meaningful endeavour for me to embark on.
Due to the difference in my understanding of Taiwan and Australia, the curatorial decisions I have made in Taiwan also reflects on this difference. In Taiwan, I have assembled a group of photography practitioners in various genres. These photographers include photojournalists, contemporary art photographers, as well as commercial photographers. Age and gender are also considerations in this curatorial project, for I want to include a wide array of perspectives on this collaborative representation of a geographical location. This decision is also an attempt to make a comparative analysis of the different ways in which the language of photography is used by the makers of photographic media and to the public whom consumes this information.
The Lake : Synthesis of Photography, Sound, and Text
The organic progression of this project in Taiwan since departing from Sydney has led to the further contextualization on the subject of ‘The Lake’ and the medium of photography with additional writings and the integration of sound. ‘The Lake’ project is now a synthesis of photography, text, and sound; a collaboration between visual artists, sound artists, and writers. The initial impetus of ‘exchange’ has now broadened into the exchange of mediums as well. With the inclusion of participants from the United States and Germany, this exchange has also stretched beyond the original geographical boarders initially began from the exchange between Taiwan and Australia.
Writings presented in ‘The Lake’ are composed by poets, novelists, short prose writers, playwrights, news reporters, and art critics, whom as a whole; contextualize this subject on geography and cultural interpretation. The multiple vantage points of these texts provide a diverse interpretation of the subject at hand. For this project is centralized on the dialogue instigated by the multiple fragments contributed by artists in each medium. Poets, novelists and prose writers will contribute writings based on the topic of ‘The Lake’ while art critics and curators will contribute critiques that place the photographic works in context.
The integration of the audio component to ‘The Lake’ is the finalizing element that reinforces this project based on exchange, collaboration, and contextualization. The sound artists in ‘The Lake’ is comprised of experimental sound composers and jazz musicians whom work mostly with electronic media as well as acoustic recordings.

湖：趨近於一段跨文化的對話--澳洲與台灣攝影、聲音、文字新作
前言：文化交流與策展經驗作為一種藝術實踐
展覽計畫的構想源於我代表台灣赴澳洲參與「Asialink藝術家交流駐地計劃」(Asialink artist exchange residency program)之際。為了進一步實現「文化交流」的概念，我選擇一種結合策展和集體合作的策略，來促成與雪梨的攝影工作者之間的對話。這個方式讓我得以透過最熟悉當地風貌與歷史的當地居民眼光與聲音來瞭解這個新天地。我身兼藝術家和計畫主持人的雙重身份讓我可以做個同僚般的探詢者，同時，主持人的角色所賦予的些許正式感，則有助於讓對話和交流更為精練。
以湖命題：回溯直覺
我直覺地以『湖』作為計畫主題。事實上，並無特殊重大的個人經驗在我腦海中引發這個題目，然在我嘗試探究這個直覺、並更加延伸它時，我倒是憶起了這位備受讚譽的日本作家Yusanari Kawabata的最新小說作品『湖』的英譯本，他是位極細緻靈妙的作家，而對於一直追隨他的讀者而言，『湖』絕對是一本令人好奇的新作。此外，這個題目之所以如此吸引我還在於：它令我聯想到某種秘密空間，一個人們可能憶起的地方，一個值得回憶的地方；可以浮游在它如鏡的水面上；可以在它附近露營；在那裡作夢；也可以潛入那深深的黑、綠、藍底下，甚至是透明的黑暗中。在那裡釣魚—最常見的是大嘴鱸魚，並烹而食之，就像我曾和紐約的朋友，也是鄰居Roger，恰於9/11前夕所做的⋯。對我而言，湖所覆蓋的只是一小片土地，或者更貼切的說，更接近池塘的樣貌。實際而言，湖有不同的大小。在雪梨與當地藝術家們交談後，我才知道，對很多人而言，湖是一片寬廣的空間。每次聽到別人對湖的看法與我不同時，我都有點吃驚。也因為這麼多不同的看法，賦予湖多樣的詮釋。
每位參與者將進一步思考湖的語境
在這個計畫案中，『湖』作為一個概念的跳板，也作為特定地理位置的標記，更作為攝影的課題；因為這個展覽計畫是因「文化交流」而發生，在其所具有的涵義上，『湖』是個值得每個藝術家去思考的主題。對我而言，這個展覽計畫也是對地理環境的思索、一種空間感、一趟鄉野之旅，藉以對我們的所在有更深入的瞭解。這個計畫的觀眾是預設的；也就是這些參展的藝術家，十二位澳洲藝術家和十二位台灣藝術家，各自帶著自己的故事。我們如何相互述說我們從何處來？你的述說是基於何種觀點？就我而言，設立這個展覽計畫是希望讓我和其他台灣的人們透過眼睛／攝影；心靈／詮釋＋想像；內心／文本、作品與其創作者，來更瞭解澳洲，而反之亦然，讓澳洲的人們透過台灣藝術家，而窺見台灣。
『湖』這個計畫將以敘事形式表現。攝影作品及文字為表現的結構，而對主題的詮釋是開放的，儘管，仍須說明拍攝地點與其與藝術家的個人關係。每位藝術家所提供的文字將被整合於展覽之中，並且為其作品的觀賞經驗之重要背景框架。我鼓勵每位參展藝術家對其所選擇描繪的地點另外提供文字軼事，而這些文字的完整集結，將會呈現在可供閱讀的立式玻璃展示櫃裡，並與其對應的編號攝影作品有所呼應。結束之際，也或是另一個起始，這些完成的攝影作品／故事將被寄送到台灣展覽，然後再和另一半在台灣的攝影與故事集結在一起，寄回澳洲。
湖：猶向對遠方某人的傾訴回喚。
於澳洲雪梨，契機的偶發與策展決議
出訪澳洲以前，我對澳洲及雪梨藝術圈瞭解有限，因此本展覽所邀請的澳洲藝術家並不傳達一種對當代澳洲攝影的縱覽。我認為要在另一個國家發掘代表該國的藝術家，需要一個專業團隊，並且需要兩年以上的時間，才得以達成，只憑個人藝術家駐地兩個多月，實屬難為。我視此計畫為一種機緣巧合，不過其實是在於一個已經充分預知與瞭解的框架中：也就是於 2003年10月至12月間，我在雪梨及布里斯班(Brisbane)見過的那些人。我邀請這些藝術家時，所持唯一而基本的準則是：要求每
一個參與者審視並討論彼此的作品，也就是一個交流。
這群藝術家的聚合是從各種諮詢與推薦而來，藉由各藝術機構的負責人、藝術指導、教授、藝廊負責人、經理人、藝術家等，成為像我這樣一個城市初訪者所能運借的資源。所能利用的幫助都運用了，在地的、在鎮上的，或在這廣大國度裡的；最近展出過、呈現出作品的那些藝術家或許能見度更高，再加上我閱讀報章、各種攝影展專輯的文章、參觀美術、藝廊、藝術家工作室。而我在「葛納麗工作室」(Gunnery Studio)，及「藝術空間」(Artspace)這兩處藝術產出的溫床所停留之期，結交到不少的藝術家朋友們，亦從那裡得到許多訊息。
於台灣台北，契機的偶發與策展決議
自1982年移民美國後就一直沒再回到的家鄉台灣現在成了我近來的定居點（剛滿兩年），而我卻因為長期旅居在外，而造成目前在自己的土地上面臨語言障礙的巨大窘境。這個企劃雖然表面上看似為一個台灣與澳洲的交換計畫，但事實上隱藏其中的主要內涵，卻更貼近被定義為一項美國、台灣與澳洲的交換計畫。在我以英語書寫此篇論述的同時，它更是提醒並且標記出我對台灣史地人文的陌生距離，為了面對時間消弭的空白並且尋找那條重返我浮移的母語根源之徑，這樣的一個文化交流計畫對我個人而言有著更深刻的執行實現意義。
我對台灣與澳洲的認識異同也反應在策展的決定上，在台灣我囊括一群不同美學類別的攝影從業者，有攝影記者、當代藝術攝影師、商業攝影師，而年齡與性別也同樣為策展計畫的考量點。我企圖為這樣一種地理空間點的集體再現包容更寬廣的視角，並且，這個決定也是為了在不同攝影媒體操作者的影像語言與其所面對的資訊消費者間做一個比較分析。
湖：攝影、聲音、文字的合題
這個計畫的有機進展自離開雪梨後便在台灣更進一步地對『湖』這個主題有更多的回應與發展，而除了攝影之外，也又添增了聲音與文字的文本。『湖』現在已經轉成了一個攝影、聲音、文字的合題，一個視覺藝術、聲音藝術與作家之間的集體合作。最初交流的能量現在已被擴大到媒材上的交流。又由於美國與德國的計畫參與者，也再次打破了原本僅在台灣與澳洲的地理疆界。
『湖』其中的文字作品有來自詩人、小說家、散文作者、劇作家、新聞記者與藝評，他們以或是地理上的或是文化上的詮釋來表現傳達這個主題，由這些文體的多重觀點優勢，也提供了對此主題的多元詮釋。由於這個計畫是由不同媒材的藝術家所貢獻的多種要素所啟發的對話為中心，詩人、小說家與散文作家將以湖這個主題作為創作的主題，而藝評與策展人則將以計畫中的攝影作品作為論述評論的對象。
『湖』中音樂元素的整合為最後一項加強這個以交流、合作、互文為根基的元素。參與『湖』的聲音創作者組成有實驗音樂與爵士樂背景，他們的作品多為電子媒材與錄音。

II. 創作計畫
The Lake : The Portfolio
Created firstly for the visual artists who participate in this project. Twenty-four sites, two countries. “The Lake” portfolio is comprised of twenty-four photographs created by twelve Australian and twelve Taiwanese artists. Each image maker is asked to complete an edition of twenty-seven photographs of one image on the subject of a ‘lake.’ In turn, each artist that participates will receive one complete portfolio with the other artists' work. Of the three extra remaining portfolios: one will go towards an exhibition in January 2005 at the Taipei International Artist Village Gallery in Taiwan. The exhibited prints will subsequently be auctioned, with the proceeds benefiting the darkroom facility of Taipei International Artist Village. The second set will be exhibited in Australia in July 2005. The last portfolio will go towards a museum collection in Taiwan.
medium: photography: for black and white prints: fibre based paper, for color: c-prints, since digital output
will probably account for fifty percent of the portfolio, it is pertinent for those artists who decide to
go digital to output the images on quality stock material, be considerate to other artists and the project as a whole.
text : please provide geographic location of the lake represented in your work, if imaginary, please include possible reference to the place, your relationship to this place, why this place, extra anecdotes about your lake
dimension: photograph: 40.6 x 50.8 cm (16x20 in)
portfolio case: 43 x 53 x 5 cm (17x21x2 in)
edition: each artist has to make an edition of 27 photographs
** 24 portfolios will be distributed to each participating artist
** 1 portfolio will be donated to a museum collection (to be decided, after the exhibition in Taiwan)
** 1 portfolio will be exhibited in Taiwan and subsequently be auctioned off to benefit the institution which holds the exhibition.
** 1 portfolio will be exhibited in Australia and subsequently be auctioned off to benefit the institution which holds the exhibition.
The Lake : The Exhibition
Constructed from three individual mediums, ‘The Lake’ is a multi-sensory experience based on story-telling both imaginary and real. Utilizing three separate and distinctive mediums in photography, text, and sound, ‘The Lake’ assembles these multiple elements into a coherent whole.
In the entrance project space, the installation presents a textual introduction and how this curatorial project originated. The 27 portfolios are shown in its entirety with several portfolios opened for the viewing of the interior which only the visual artists own.
In the main exhibition area, each photograph is presented in its own individual vitrine evenly spaced through out the room. Text provided by the artists is printed on the wall which serves as both titles as well as short narratives about these spaces in which they have decided to illuminate.
Two reading and listening stations which seats four people each are placed in the centre of the rectangular main exhibition space. In each of these reading stations, a manuscript by the writers is placed on the table. In addition, there are individual headphones and CD players from which the audience can choose the track they want to listen to.
The Lake : The Book
Though the basis of this project begins with the exchange of photographs and culminates with the subsequent exhibition, it is the catalogue portion of this project that is perhaps the central component to ‘The Lake’. The book in ‘The Lake’ project is the only format in which all three of the mediums and collaborators will be brought together as a whole and experienced as a whole. The temporal exhibition will only be seen by the visitors of the exhibition site in one country at a time. And thus only play a part in the introduction and construction of a dialogue. In this catalogue, there will be an audio CD with recordings by the sound artists. Further contextualization by the visual artists with production stills from their makings of the photographs will also be included. This catalogue is slated for production after the exhibition for the reason that the installation documentations of the first presentation at the Taipei International Artist Village will be included.
『湖』攝影作品盒
一開始是為參展的視覺藝術家所設創的。兩個國家，二十四個場域。『湖』攝影作品盒是十二位台灣藝術家與十二位澳洲藝術家的作品合集。每位影像創作者被邀請製作一組有二十七張同一張針對湖這個主題的影像作品。以交換的形式，每位藝術家最後都會拿到一盒完整全部的24張攝影作品。其餘三份攝影作品盒：一份於台北國際藝術村展出，展期後拍賣，並將所得贊助國際藝術村暗房設備；一份於2005年4月在澳洲展出；最後一份交由台灣當地美術館收藏。
『湖』展覽
由三種獨立媒材構成，『湖』是一個以想像與真實感並置敘事的多重感官體驗。使用三種分開而自主的攝影、文字、聲音媒材，『湖』將多種元素整合成一個和諧的存在。
在計畫空間的入口處，現場的裝置將展現一個關於此策展計畫發始的文字介紹。27組攝影作品盒將全部被展示出來，有幾盒甚至是打開，讓觀眾可以看見盒裡面的內容，這是視覺藝術家的部份。
在最主要的展示區，每一張攝影作品會在一個獨立的平台立式的展示櫃中，平均的擺置於空間中，而藝術家所供的文字也將被印於牆上，作為標題，也做唯一他們作品中所的拍攝的地理空間的簡短描述。
兩組視聽桌被擺在長方形空間的左右兩個中心，一組可坐四位觀眾。視聽桌上將有作家的手稿，並提供CD player讓觀眾在閱讀之餘能選擇所自己所想要聽的關於『湖』的音樂。
『湖』畫冊
縱使這個計畫的基礎是建立在攝影作品的交流上，又以展覽的形式將此計畫推向另一個焦點高潮，但是畫冊這個部份其實或許才是整個計畫的核心重點。畫冊在『湖』計畫中，是最終也是唯一將三種媒材融合整理唯一個完整經驗的形式。展覽只能在展期內被有限的觀賞者在該國展覽現場所欣賞，因此，也只能成為此對話的一個開始或是構成的一個角色。畫冊中，將有一張此計畫中聲音創作者作品的音樂光碟，視覺藝術家的作品與其他相關文字都將完整地包容。畫冊預計於展覽後開始製作，將含括在台北國際藝術村的展場現場記錄。

Work Sample
Eurotrash, 2001 – West Space, Melbourne
Work Description
Eurotrash is a series of digitally produced photographic images. It uses the seemingly disparate visual orders of the snapshot and hard-edged abstraction to work through notions of displacement and memory, and their inextricable link to the landscape. The resulting pairs of images possess a visual tension played out between the process of physical and digital disintegration. Removed from any sense of an original ‘context’, Eurotrash is intended as an extended deliberation of the inadequacies of photography in the face of an illegible sense of loss brought on by physical, spatial and temporal displacement.

THE BLIND SPOT. Shut your right eye, stare at the spot on the right, and move away from the image. At one point the cross on the left will disappear. It is falling on the optic disc of your left eye - your blind spot. There are no photoreceptors on the retina in this area to register a stimulus, so any object which falls here will not be seen. This also works in reverse, close your left eye, look at the cross of the left, and the spot will disappear.

Work Sample
Kickflipping Flâneur, Artspace, Sydney 2000
Work Description
In this video installation, Shaun Gladwell does more than demonstrate his skill as a former skateboard champion, rather he has made video works that suggest a contemplative and tactical reorientation of the practices of the City. Importantly, Gladwell’s videos are contextualised by Sydney, a city ideologically and psychologically immersed in Olympic fervor. Banners, flags, billboards and building-sized images of athletes combined with Olympic-positive media publicity have attempted to create a homogeneous vision of the city. Gladwell’s work takes his own recreation, which is often dismissed as time wasting or an illegal youth culture, and considers its potent capacity for re-imagining this city. His skating cuts across the psycho-geographical body of Sydney, fragmenting, subverting and reclaiming its spaces, simultaneously documenting and opening up this activity as a discursive tactic in the context of art.

Work Description
In this exhibition, Warner Probes the boundaries of representation and the historically afforded role of the photograph by challenging our corporeal and intellectual responses to his large suspended photographic images. Isolated from its environment, his imagery focuses on visual fragments and abstracted elements drawn from the urban and industrial landscape. Throughout this exhibition, Warner confounds out sense of the real by concentrating his attention on the minute surface inflections and formal qualities of his subject.

1964 Born in Long Beach, California, USA
1989 BA in Marine Biology Sonoma State University, California, USA
1996 MA in Visual Arts Queensland College of Art, Griffith University Brisbane, Australia
Biography
Visual Art is my second career. Originally a marine biologist, I slowly realised I was more interested in the textures, colours and patterns of the underwater world (particularly of the invertebrates along tropical reefs and in temperate intertidal zones) than in scientific research. In 1994, I enrolled in a post-graduate program in visual arts, completing a MAVA in 1996, primarily in photographic art practice. Although the zones where land and water, or land and air meet often inspires my artwork, there is rarely a direct relationship between the final image and the literal view. I often gravitate to “natural” environments which house objects such as plants, patterns on the ground (e.g. grass growth) and phenomenon that can be detected but not captured such as wind & shadow.

Anatomy of a Tree, Part II Untitled Cacti, 2002 Untitled Cacti, 2002 Untitled Cacti, 2002
Work Description
By using a single negative to create the collages, and then individually toning and hand-assembling the photographs, I am exploring concepts of duplication and reproduction assumed in both repetition and photography. This is a corollary to the ordering (patterning) of plants and animals into groups with similar features, known as classification. It is in part, a necessary, human-made construct, which then sets a standard to evaluate difference.

Work Sample
The White Album, 2003. The Farm Space, Brisbane, Australia. The White Album, 2003. 61cm x 73cm
Work Description
My interest lies in the gesture of photography (its motivations and its means) as much as in the photograph itself. My practice focuses upon not only the ‘decisive moment’ of the photograph, but also the processes that lead up to this moment and those that follow in its wake. In this sense, the practice functions as a ‘working through’ of photography; a series of approaches to its processes and an exploration of its limitations.
The cameras and lenses that I use are tailored to different bodies of work in a DIY manner. Examples include slight modifications such as the removal of the shutter from a ‘point-and shoot’ camera, an action that makes the exposure subject to my own reflexes rather than the mechanics of the camera. The image is the result of an interaction between the camera, the subject and myself.
In the White Album these processes are pushed to their visible limits. This work presents images created through a successive exposure and re-exposure of the negative approaching whiteness, a layering of images that produces an illegible image. They are not about emptying the image of meaning, but rather overfilling it to the point of illegibility; overexposing to the point of blankness. As if attempting to hold on to too much at once, that which we seek to preserve is erased, leaving only the finest of traces.

Work Description
Working from a conceptual basis of the home-made-strange, objects and images are made which conflate images of home furnishings and architecture that are found in the illustrated press. Recent work explores the contemporary fascination with forensic evidence and applies this to media representations of the 'home' as a means of exploring issues around crime, grime and the 'domestic uncanny'.

2003 Master of Fine Arts College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia
Biography
After a decade or so of investigative solo practice, Cordeiro and Healy decided to join forces to
perpetrate anti-realty installations in the city of Sydney. The pair is also part of the artist collective known as Imperial Slacks. The pair has continued to show at other spaces such as Kudos Gallery, Artspace and Sculpture by the Sea. Their most noteworthy works so far have included "The Cordial Home Project"; a project that saw the destruction of a suburban house and its stacked reconfigurated relocation into the gallery space, "Location to die For"; the convergence of an architect's plan to renovate a warehouse and an urban military conflict, and "Package Tour"; an installation in which a forty-tonne army-tank was transformed into a seaside shanty caravan.
Work Sample
The Cordial Home Project, 2003, Artspace, Sydney, Australia.
Work Description
Cordial Home Project is invested with much symbolism, an investment that plays on the irony of Cordeiro and Healy finding themselves in a situation familiar to many of their generation: they are unable acquire a home of their own, a fact they have been keen to state throughout the project. And for some people, to never attain the status of 'home-owner' is to never quite achieve the status of being grown up; owning a home is the very least every middle class parent expects for their offspring. The irony is that the only way the artists could acquire a home was by taking possession of a house due for demolition and dismantling it piece by piece; an act which did not require any financial exchange but that made the newly acquired building homeless. Artspace only provided a temporary abode for the project and during the exhibition the home was only one step away from the scrap heap. Written by David Burrows.

Biography
The Twilight Girls are Australian artists Helen Hyatt-Johnston and Jane Polkinghorne who work in a wide variety of mediums ranging from film, photography to site specific installations. They have been exhibiting collaboratively since 1990 as well as having their own individual practices. Their most recent exhibitions include Locust Projects in Miami where they turned the icon of that town, the pink flamingo, into life-sized sticky road kill on the gallery floor as well as Raid Projects in Los Angeles where they took on those fabled Hollywood Hills— turning them into the décolletage that became synonymous with the excess-beyond-glamour of such stars as Jayne Mansfield and Rosalind Russell.
Work Sample
From Her to Eternity, 1997. Attack of the Big Top Beauty, 1997. Saturday Night Beaver, 1997.
Work Description
Alongside these site-specific responses to their environment and the fantasy it fosters in specifically Australian imaginations, the Girls have also created a body of photographic work out of a desire to cast themselves in a series of cinema classics. Polkinghorne and Hyatt-Johnston, through their sophisticated bad taste, use those often stultifying Hollywood conventions to create their very own fantasy scenarios, setting in train at the same time an arch critique of the way those conventions represent sexuality and femininity.

作品說明
此系列雖名為『無題』，其實是沿續『自拍像』系列之不同時期的作品。第一張是1999年於所居地下室拍攝，藉由隱約瞬熄的日光，捕捉由衣櫃鏡子所反照的影像，隱喻自我性格的微弱性。第二張攝於工作室中的一個偽建廢墟，在視覺上呈現如市場待宰的畜生；廢墟的產生在於遺忘，捲曲的身體在抗拒無法得到體溫的寒冷。第三張在空間上建立強迫性的視覺矛盾，砌高的枯葉與部分被埋沒的日光燈及身軀，降臨著莫名的哀傷，但枯葉異於土壤，隙縫仍有呼吸的機會，黑暗也將有日光可尋。『自拍像』是一系列一直在沈澱不同時空中最貼切心理的環境狀態，亦是讓觀者理解拍照者當時所處境意的方法。

作品說明
我所關心的歷史，是在那被合法性所排除的「歷史之外」的歷史，那屬於恍惚的場域，如同字詞間連接的空隙，一種被隱藏在迷霧中「失語」的歷史，一種存在我們語言、肉體、慾望與氣味內的歷史。凝視被排除的歷史，如同凝視當代中被隱匿的其他「當代性」，兩者間是必需相互挖掘。……殘酷，常讓我們被擋在影像之外，然而傷口闇黑的深淵，不是讓我們穿過的裂縫嗎？一個可能穿過「棄絕」的裂縫。
2004「加工廠」作品經由歷史與記憶的回溯，以現今紡織產業之場景，拼湊出台灣後工業化的勞資結構現象。

作品說明
無數張照片的累積，不僅集合個人內聚的情感和現世的情結，也隨著時空持續的變化，九個人物複製了無數個符號般多義的角色，透過肖像在環境內內具體裝置的介入現實，努力拼湊一個看似影像結構的家庭日記，但整體面貌回應出，彷如某種群眾集會遊行的積極象徵。

Biography
From an island to an Island within an island and then to another. Ms Serisier spent an idyllic youth on the northern beaches of Sydney until her family moved to Scottland Island when she was fifteen. A whim took Ms Serisier to another Island, this time Manhattan where the pace was somewhat accelerated and focus a whole lot more arts driven. Within moments of her arrival in Manhattan she married a fellow Australian, an Artists and her induction into the world of fine arts began. Fearing a total art world consumption she fell into acting school where horizons expanded and personalities w\ere forged. Writing became a passion entwined with current and sometimes fleeting passions. The gambit of literary excursion became a diary of life in America art, tropical fish, sex, death and memory. After six years in America it was time to return to the largest island – Australia, Art interest became art passion and a new path evolved around the Sydney art scene, first as a collector and then as a Gallerist working closely with contemporary artists and their audience. Ms Serisier is currently the Gallery Manager for Annandale Galleries, her articles on contemporary art have appeared in State of The Arts Art magazine and on Line news letter.

However it is also very Australian in its nature, reflecting the forced means to existence of white colonists in a land that was already perfect.

With catalogue essay by Rachael Haynes
Work Description
The threshold of glimmers 1
What moves him to photo-graph? The wish for a delicate trace. To measure time and space. To listen, to grasp. To hold all this light in a movable flask. To find the overlooked, to see the unseen. Where is the beauty in the banal, the mysterious in the mundane, the otherworldly in the ordinary? These are the questions he asks me.
The moment of photo-graphing becomes that of the everyday. Concealed in a convenient pocket the snapshot camera is loaded and ready to respond to a precise moment. What marks the significance of this moment? To see, suddenly, with a certain clarity, something hitherto overlooked. To respond to a certain random quality – carrying a camera wherever one goes, to capture the significant incidental, the accidental. Each moment, each “drop in time” that captures itself as momentous.2 To look, so closely – so close to the moment it can no longer be seen.

Work Sample
“Guest: On the Subject of Home”, 2001, silver gelatine prints, text, wood, paper. Yeh’s studio, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.
Work Description
The title “Guest: On the Subject of Home” takes its root from the literal English translation of the Chinese word ‘Hakka’: HA as ‘guest’ and KKA as ‘home.’ A word play on the name of the ethnic Han group known as Hakka. This project is comprised of five wooden portfolios crafted by Yeh, each portfolio contains a series of matted 12 silver gelatin prints and a prose text broadside. Four series depict a section of Brooklyn and the greater boroughs of New York City, the last a series of photographs on Taiwan. Part autobiographical and part urban documentary studies on the process of urban renewal in Brooklyn, New York, this body of work is a poetic meditation on issues surrounding geographical and cultural displacement as a transient resident of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

8. 夏宇Shia Ju Taipei, Taiwan
1956 出生於台灣
國立藝專影劇科 板橋，臺灣
簡介
本名黃慶綺。十九歲開始寫詩，是一位發跡甚早的女詩人，早期曾參加草根詩社，詩集未出之時，即入選1981年由張默所編的《現代女詩人選集》可見其受矚目的程度，且在1984年獲得《中外文學》舉辦第一屆現代詩選拔第二名。並於同年九月自費出版了一本似工藝作品的詩集《備忘錄》。其中一首〈甜蜜的復仇〉曾讓許多讀詩的與不讀詩的人都沉浸在一場醃漬的快樂裡。而1991年出版的《腹語術》其跳躍性思維與陰性書寫魅力更努力挑逗詩的界線與多樣性。值得一提的是在詩集末尾附錄了1988年《現代詩》復刊第十二期中萬胥亭與夏宇的一篇筆談，當中稍可淺見其部分創作觀，尤其是提及複製與原創之間的觀念，在1995年出版的《磨擦，無以名狀》中有了另一種的呈現：將《腹語術》原稿放大影印，再剪裁重新編組而成的全新詩集，即使是熟悉的字眼或難求變化的材質，在內容或裝訂上，作者都別有用心體現心意。1999年夏末，夏宇出版了「不修邊幅」的同名詩集。其中作品最能闡發「各自表述」的定義。這股非主流裡的竊竊私語，更引起台灣小劇場的注意而把其詩搬上舞台發表。

Biography
Anthony Luensman is a multimedia artist and part-time managing/co-artistic director of Saw Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio. His most recent exhibitions, tracings (2004, Taipei Artist Village, Taiwan), Eolian (2003, Kenyon College, Gambier, OH), Irato (2002, Weston Art Gallery, Cincinnati, OH) and Zeloso (2003, Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, OH), explore sound production through viewer interaction.

Sounding devices from tracings, 2004 – a multimedia installation at the Taipei Artist Village in Taiwan.
Work Description
In tracings, I’ve taken inspiration from some of the artists and works that I had the opportunity to discover during an artist residency in Taipei, Taiwan. In my explorations of this extremely dynamic city, I discovered a handful of works - from sculpture to video – that, upon some consideration and reflection, offered audio “suggestions” to me (if at first in only an oblique way). I then attempted to “assume” these works and reinvent or reflect them through my own vocabulary of visuals and sound. I consider each “traced” work to be a sound portrait of its predecessor and the grouping as a whole – that is as an installation – to be a larger portrait of my brief Taipei experience in the arts. Finally, I thought then to offer these sounding sculptures to the viewer as a kind of set of “musical instruments” through which interaction provides the opportunity for yet another portrait – an interactive “portrait of a portrait” so to speak.

3. Klaus Bru Berlin, Germany / Taipei, Taiwan
1961 Born in Ravensburg, Germany
1988 Concert Diploma Jazz Saxophone, University for Music and Performing Arts, Graz Austria
1995/98 Training in Cultural Management, Berlin, Germany
Biography
Bru was trained on the saxophone as a jazz musician, but he also plays guitar, keyboards, flute and writes songs and sings. He has performed in a wide variety of musical settings. During the 1990’s his focus shifted to electronic music and sound manipulation. He became interested in what he calls “purposeful music”, which stands –beyond the limits of musical styles or fashions- for the idea that music appears in connection with “other media”, most of the time on a subconscious level for the audience, but nonetheless serving a certain purpose to make the work complete. Examples would be music for films, heatre or sound installations. Bru composed numerous scores for movies of independent filmmakers from Germany and Austria, and since he moved to Taiwan for local movie directors and public TV stations as well. In the course of time, he got more and more drawn to the “other media”, and has been writing, photographing, staging heatre plays, organizing events, and doing performance art ever since.

What if the people behind the scenes in sport get mad, what if they want to be in the spotlight, too? This little game includes a player & a trainer. But this time the trainer is in charge. Sport is torture, sport is fun. And if it isn’t sweaty, you shouldn’t call it sport. The trainer enjoys her job. Could be bloody for the player, though. At least, everybody gets paid by the end.

作品說明
聲音與記憶
在設計聲音效果時，常大略分成記憶中的感覺，或是希望變成為什麼樣的感覺；
我往往反覆搜尋於記憶的湖泊，卻也往往被生活的苦與甜美淹沒，
潛入記憶像潛水；越深的地方越難觸及，也越渾沌不明，
有水壓；需要肺活量。
無聲與孤獨中，還要記得浮出記憶呼吸…

（Atsuhiro Ito）的作品聲音與光的裝置作品局部 (台北當代藝術館提供)
作品說明
乍見Optron的外觀，僅是包含三支普通螢光燈管的燈具，彷彿就是在一般日式家庭及辦公室中常見的燈具。然而，每一支燈管中均加上了電吉他使用的收音麥克風。當燈管中的電流改變，燈光閃動時，燈管中的麥克風便隨著燈光的閃動同步收取電磁音，再以放大器或PA系統音響設備來放大音波。
細微的閃光及同步發出的聲響將帶給我們視覺上的幻象，讓觀眾看見原本不存在的顏色及圖像。伊東先生的嘗試可以視為“現象”的延伸，他希望能夠瞭解在每日的生活中各種由電子產品，例如隨處可見的螢光燈管，所能引發視覺及聽覺上各種現象的潛在能力。經由這樣的作品，伊東嘗試創造新的角度去觀看我們週遭的世界，也藉著如此的手法，放棄藝術家的特權，而以操控最少的元素來嘗試呈現出現象本身的原始面貌。
