The “Pending” exhibition showcases the collective work of twenty young designers and artists who share cross-cultural experiences which they acquired while traveling through different continents, from the East to New York City, a universal icon of western culture and modern society. Many of them are entering a fluctuating phase in their lives where any decisions they make, influenced by internal or external forces, could possibly result in dramatically different trajectories.
“悬”為一場集二十位青年艺术家的艺术及設計作品的合作展览。他们并不来自同一个城市,也并没有相同的经历;但在以亚洲为起点,追寻过不同的人生轨迹後他们一起会聚在这里,都届於二十以上三十未满,不上不下的年龄。“悬”取自于“悬而未决”,单一“悬”字恰当体现了这一人群驻留纽约长则七年,短则三年,卻尚未在這個城市找到全面歸屬感與認同感的状态。在这个心理及现实层面上都”悬“而未决的时间点,在异乡追求梦想,发展事业,探索人生,以及体悟爱情,这二十位艺术家对於各自的未来充满挣扎,不确定,同时又感到无限的可能性。
The work of each designer and artist explores and demonstrates the struggle for the redefinition of personal and cultural identity during this transitional phase. The exhibition serves as an embodiment of feelings and voices as they search for their own answers to these pressing questions.
每一个艺术家尝试通过自身独有的词汇来表达自己对于“悬”的诠释。视觉表现手法包含图像,文字,拼贴,摄影,插画等。所表达的有远离故土的思乡之情,东西方文化的冲突与并容,以及对客居他乡充滿考驗的自立生活最直接的描绘,以期通过各自的“有感而发”为有相似人生經歷的人群发声,从而引起共鸣。
