安卓藝術將於2025年6月至9月，以三個半月的時間推出我們慶祝15週年的兩場特展｢生命樹｣與「到彼岸」。｢生命樹｣展覽訂於6月7日至8月8日之間舉行，策展概念接續安卓藝術五週年的「Revision」和十週年的「生生長流」之方向，邀請畫廊長期代理與合作的台灣、亞洲與歐洲的十五位藝術家參展，期望展現過往十五年來畫廊與藝術家合作的成果，以及透過如同「生命樹」的有機成長狀態，反思與展望安卓的下一個十五年。而十五週年的第二個展覽項目「到彼岸」，則於8月16日到9月25日之間推出，是畫廊追念藝術家石晉華於2024年夏天因為車禍意外往生的一場紀念性展覽。兩場特展對安卓藝術的十五年，皆具有極其重要的象徵意義。｢生命樹｣安卓藝術十五週年特展訂於6月7日(星期六)下午3點舉辦開幕酒會，並於6月21日下午舉辦一場關於「藝術家、畫廊與市場」的座談會，我們誠摯邀請您的蒞臨。
｢生命樹｣作為安卓藝術十五週年特展的主題，背後藏著一段收藏家贊助支持畫廊與藝術家的美麗典故。2010年春天安卓藝術成立時，收藏家陳泊文醫師為安卓的成立在自家花園種下一顆高度及膝的小桂花苗；十五年過去，這株桂花苗已長成高逾兩米五的桂花樹，並且成了象徵安卓的生命樹。大約從安卓樹的第三年起，我和陳醫師提議我想要每年為這株安卓的生命樹進行一次修剪，為它去蕪存菁使其得以長成的更好。之後很多年的元旦便成了我自己，或是和安卓團隊以及藝術家們一起去北投修剪這株安卓樹與聚會的日子。因此，｢生命樹｣作為此次十五周年特展的主題，對安卓和長年支持我們的收藏家與藝術家來說，都是最為貼切且深具意義的。
｢生命樹｣一展匯聚台灣、亞洲和歐洲等地的十五位藝術家，包含布恩・卡路拜恩（Buen CALUBAYAN）、周楷倫（CHOU Kai Lun）、瑪莉娜・克魯斯（Marina CRUZ）、薩伊夫．加里波第（Syaiful Garibaldi）、丹尼．格爾卡（Dani GHERCĂ）、傅饒（Rao FU）、林煒翔（LIN Wei Hsiang）、安娜・瑪莉亞・米庫（Ana Maria MICU）、大卷伸嗣（Shinji OHMAKI）、艾伯特．約拿桑．瑟提亞萬（Albert Yonathan SETYAWAN）、謝鴻均（Juin SHIEH）、黨若洪（TANG Jo Hung）、瑞納斯・凡・德・維爾德（Rinus VAN DE VELDE）、柏格丹・弗拉杜塔（Bogdan VLÃDUTÃ）、楊寓寧（YANG Yu-Ning），展品包含繪畫、裝置、雕塑、攝影與複合媒材等不同形式的創作，主題涵蓋與生命樹有關的「植物」、「時間」兩個切面，風格上包含寫實與表現主義形式的繪畫、水墨美學再生的創作、以及空間與立體組合的重新思考。
Mind Set Art Center will celebrate its 15th anniversary with two special exhibitions set between June and September: “The Tree of Life” and “At the Other Side”. “The Tree of Life” is scheduled to run from June 7 through August 8, and it will continue the curatorial direction of MSAC’s 5th-anniversary exhibition, “Revision”, and the 10th-anniversary showcase, “As Life Goes On”. The exhibition will feature 15 artists from Taiwan, Asia, and Europe, and showcase the fruit of our collaboration in the last 15 years. The exhibition also reflects on the gallery’s growth, as symbolized by “The Tree of Life”, and looks ahead to MSAC’s next 15 years. The second exhibition, “At the Other End”, will run from August 16 to September 25 as a memorial for artist Shih Jin-Hua, who passed away in a tragic accident in the summer of 2024. Both exhibitions hold profound significance for us at Mind Set Art Center. The opening reception for “The Tree of Life” will be held on Saturday, June 7, at 3:00 PM, followed by a panel discussion on “Artists, Galleries, and the Market” on the afternoon of June 21. We cordially invite you to join us for the exhibition.
Behind “The Tree of Life”, the title of MSAC’s 15th anniversary exhibition, is a beautiful story of a collector’s enduring support for the gallery and its artists. When MSAC was first established in the spring of 2010, collector Dr. Chen Po-Wen planted a knee-high tea olive in his garden to mark the occasion. Fifteen years later, the sapling has grown into a full-size tree standing over 2.5 meters tall. It has become a living symbol of MSAC’s journey. Around the tree’s third year, I proposed to Dr. Chen that I would prune it annually, trimming away the unnecessary to help it grow stronger and healthier. This turned into a New Year’s Day tradition. Whether I’m alone or MSAC’s colleagues and artists whether alone, I would visit Chen’s place in Beitou to tend to the tree. “The Tree of Life” is thus more than an exhibition title. It carries profound significance to us, our collectors, and the artists we champion.
The exhibition brings together fifteen artists from Taiwan, Asia, and Europe. They including Buen Calubayan, Chou Kai-Lun, Marina Cruz, Syaiful Garibaldi, Dani Ghercã, Rao Fu, Lin Wei-Hsiang, Ana Maria Micu, Shinji Ohmaki, Albert Yonathan Setyawan, Juin Hsieh, Tang Jo-Hung, Rinus Van de Velde, Bogdan Vlăduță and Yang Yu-Ning. Their works span various mediums such as painting, installation, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, exploring the themes of "plants" and "time”, which are the two aspects of the symbolic Tree of Life. Stylistically, the exhibition encompasses realist and expressionist paintings, contemporary reinterpretations of ink brush paintings, as well as reflections on spatial and three-dimensional compositions.
