双方藝廊於4月22日至5月28日展出「旋轉世界的靜止點─陳萬仁個展」,這是陳萬仁自2012後睽違五年的首次個展,双方藝廊為籌備此展覽,特地邀請了現任台北國際藝術村總監的吳達坤擔任策展人,希冀能夠藉由學術研究與策展論述,引領觀眾更完整地進入陳萬仁的藝術世界。

潛心創作的陳萬仁這次帶來醞釀許久的全新系列作品,其中佔據整個展間的大型投影拼接,充分展現了藝術家的創作動能。延續過去對循環影像的關注,陳萬仁在這次展出作品中首次嘗試以空拍技術,將過往作品中常見的的水平觀看視角翻轉為俯瞰視角,為作品開展了更寬廣的世界觀及創作維度。創作上的轉變是藝術家在五年之中不斷於藝術上自我探問、嘗試、突破的結果。創作生涯至今第四次個展,藝術家引用T.S.艾略特的詩句「旋轉世界的靜止點」為展覽命名,探討在非線性的時間觀中,人的動態循環如何逐漸逼近時間的「靜止點」,以此進入作品中曖昧的非敘事空間。

Double Square Gallery is pleased to host The Still Point of the Turning World – Chen Wan-Jen Solo Exhibition scheduled to be on view from 22 April to 28 May 2017. This is Wan-Jen Chen’s new solo exhibition after a five-year hiatus since 2012. Dar-Kuen Wu, the director of the Taipei Artist Village, is specially invited to serve as the curator for the purpose of perfecting this exhibition. We expect to guide the way the visitors perceive the art world created by the artist through the curatorial statement and associated academic research.

Devoting himself to artistic creation, Wan-Jen Chen presents in this solo exhibition a whole new series of artworks that entailed a long gestation period. The large-scale projection collage that occupies the entire room faithfully reflects the artist’s creative energy. Following his consistent interest in looping images, the artist employs aerial photography for the first time in this exhibition, turning the horizontal perspective commonly seen in his oeuvre into a bird’s eye view, thereby giving his artworks an extra aesthetic dimension and a broader Weltanschauung. Such a perspective turn is a result of the artist’s continued self-inquiry, experiment and breakthrough over the past five years. This is the fourth solo exhibition throughout Chen’s career as an artist. He quotes T.S. Eliot’s exquisite phrases “the still point of the turning world” as the title of this exhibition, setting out on the quest of how the dynamic loop of humankind approximates the “still point” of time under the non-linear temporality. This is the main entry point into the ambiguous, non-narrative space created collectively by the artworks displayed in this exhibition.
