2016 International Residency Exchange Program of Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts

Magnetic Setting

---

此次展覽的名稱，發想於我們在吉隆坡生活時看到的紀念品物件，風景磁鐵。身處在異地創作的經驗，有時候我們是旅客，吸收當地的風景與文化知識，有時候我們是藝術家，希望將其片段轉化為創作的內涵。在這一個月，我們暫時以WOLO作為居所，像磁鐵般吸附在此生活，綿長我們對於吉隆坡的認識。與此同時，創作的狀態也持續的進行著。在有限的時間效應之下，我們構置、計畫有關作品的細節，在有落地窗的工作室裡完成展覽的規劃。此時此刻的經驗，讓我們想到在各個風景地所看到的紀念磁鐵，便發想出「磁性佈景」作為此次的展名，來呼應著我們短暫停留的狀態，具有引力的吸附在此地，並將此處作為展現這段創作經驗的場所。

The name of our exhibition, “Magnetic Setting,” is inspired from the magnets we saw in the souvenir shops in Kuala Lumpur. When we see these magnets that have scenic pictures of the famous sites on them, it occurs to us that during our temporary stay at WOLO, we are like magnets, too. WOLO is like a ferromagnetic material to us; we are attracted here while understanding more about Kuala Lumpur. At the same time, our works are in progress simultaneously. Being a tourist, a visitor, we absorb the local scenes we see and embrace the culture. On the other hand, we, artists, transfer what we have seen and learned into our works. In limited time, we construct, ponder all the details of our work, and finally complete this exhibition. “Magnetic Setting” resonates the state of us: staying temporarily, being attracted to this place, and furthermore, displaying our

works of experience here.
