第三週的第四天

.





剛剛走出教室的我眼角是剛哭過的痕跡

這一切真是太複雜的

晚上的演講

是來自德國70年代的重要女性藝術家Ulrike Rosenbach本人

http://www.ulrike-rosenbach.de/

一整個情緒對我來說實在難以言說

她在演講中播放著她一件又一件的作品

大部分都是我還沒生出來的時候做的

在她播放最後一件作品時

看得我不知不覺眼淚一直從眼角緩緩流下

留眼淚聽起來是很搧情的私人情調

但是我一點都不覺得自己造作

從肺裡胸口實實在在的湧出來的是真的感動

這就是傳說中的七零年代德國女性藝術家本尊

曾幾何時在台灣研究所考試時被教授批評作品概念人家早就在七零年代做過的我



今天是第一次看到活生生的70's



後來我就舉手說問那個藝術家

做作品的當下 妳感到痛苦嗎

她說不會

一切都在她控制當中




我說: 我都流下眼淚了



下課包括校長在內很多人跑來跟我說

我跟你有一樣的感覺





晚餐盛菜時

校長在我對面她問我這兩天過的好不好

我說我正要謝謝你

你讓我感覺自己彷彿是個西藏的小活佛

謝謝你幫助我建立世界觀

她端著菜呵呵地笑開懷



今天白天下午是發表作品時間

每個人有二十分鐘發表自己作品

一共八個人發表作品

今天的客座藝術家Ulay

是著名女性行為藝術家Marina Abramović的夥伴

Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen, 1943, Solingen, Germany) studied photography from 1962-68 after an apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer. He worked in the fields of experimental photography, film and environment until 1975. In all his works the central content is the relationship of body, space and society. During his live he traveled to different countries to collaborate with local artists, among others the Netherlands, Central Australia, China, Germany, United States.

From 1976 to 1989 he worked together with Marina Abramović. The performances of this period are amongst the best known of Ulay's work. In 1988, Ulay and Abramovic decided to make a spiritual journey, which would end their relationship. Each of them walked the Great Wall of China, starting from the two opposite ends and meeting in the middle. Ulay started from the Gobi Desert and Abramović from the Yellow Sea. After each of them walked 2500 km, they met in the middle and said "good-bye".

Due to his education as a photographer, he documented his performances constantly. One of his favorite media is and was the Polaroid. After 5 years as a professor for performance and media-art at the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe (1999–2004) in Germany he moved back to Amsterdam but he still travels through the world. He continues working with photography but performed for the last time at Mediamatic's "It's Happening Now" in Amsterdam on May 6th 2007. His actual project WATERTOALL focuses on the Arab world and its water shortage in comparison with the sinking Netherlands.




總之,

這一切簡直就是西洋當代藝術史的真人秀

原來他們不只是一些文件

而是活生生會在我們眼前呼吸的人類

明天藝術家訪談

Ulrike Rosenbach會來跟我聊天

我忐忑不安
