素材及物質

by LEWIS GESNER
自從脫離教會和貴族的資助後,西方藝術一直在空虛中掙扎。這種掙扎已傳播至全球且持續存在。為了將藝術救回生存軌道上,有一項簡單的補救措施,即我們應該思考用「物質」(matter)及其同義詞取代「素材」(material)作為所有藝術語言的詞彙及原則。Matter 涵括所有 substances 以及所有具物理性質及量體的事物,且 matter 亦有題目或問題之意,在藝術脈絡中它代表 substance 及其運用是一種不可分割的整體。它將消滅轉譯(rendering),把轉譯留給教會和貴族的聖像畫和肖像畫;它代表了你可以藉由允許它們採取的形式,去探索你的 substances。它將解放 matter、藝術以及藝術家。

Material and Matter

by Lewis Gesner

Everyone in or around the art field uses the term “art materials” or its equivalent in any language. It means the supplies for making art that you can expect to find in any art store, and you can expect art works to be composed of.

拒絕與擁抱

By Lewis Gesner
忘記。忘記。忘記。然後前進,不要改進。當一個藝術的救星。

Rejection and Embrace

By Lewis Gesner

Avoid anything that satisfies you to do in making art. Forget. Forget. Forget. Go on. Don’t improve.

低等意識

文|Lewis Gesner
我常常問自己,藝術是什麼、藝術可以是什麼、藝術應該是什麼。身為一個藝術家,「是」、「可以是」、「應該是」隨時準備好把我推向作品創作。這些提問跟人生其他範疇的提問沒什麼不同,諸如道德、經濟、使用及消費。這些範疇為何不再提起這些問題?難道它們與運行和時間的關係不再重要,回答「什麼是⋯」、「可以是什麼」、「應該是什麼」不再重要了嗎?

Lower Consciousness

by LEWIS GESNER
I am always asking myself questions about what art is, what it can be, and what it should be. As an artist, “is”, “can”, and “should”, are then poised to push me into creating artwork.
