2024 年 10 月 16 日

涅普頓畫廊很榮幸再次參展Art Taipei 2024,此次展會以「未來方舟:邊境之謎」為題,策展概念發想自美國小說家赫爾曼·梅爾維爾(Herman Melville 1819-1891)的文學經典《白鯨記》The Whale,呼應書中戰勝對未知的恐懼,深入探討、發現、生存與超越邊界的理念。在人類創造力的領域中,藝術既是反映又是探索集體心靈的工具和載體,涅普頓畫廊將在此次展會中,呈現十一位象徵無限可能的當代藝術家,如同末世方舟中,航向藝術世界的未知邊境的掌舵者們,帶領觀者進入視覺與思想的無限航程,探索當代藝術的未知、生存、邊界、未來。博覽會展期為10月25日(星期五)至10月28日(星期一),貴賓預展舉行於10月24日(星期四)下午三點,我們誠摯邀請您的蒞臨。

《白鯨記》:文學中的方舟,保護與生存

赫爾曼·梅爾維爾的《白鯨記》是一部關於執著、未知海洋深處的恐懼和不懈追求的故事。小說中的象徵主義和存在主義問題為此次策展概念提供了豐富的框架。正如亞哈船長的船——佩廓德號,成為人類與自然和命運搏鬥的縮影,十一位參展藝術家就像方舟,藝術象徵著末世的避所和生命的保存,吳逸萱、郭奕庭、官野良太將自然再現,與《白鯨記》中對人類和自然關係的深刻思考相互呼應。

邊境:已知與未知的邊界

邊境代表了已知與未知之間的界限,是潛力與危險並存的空間,聯想到佩廓德號面對的浩瀚未知海域,體現了進入未知領域的緊張與魅力。巴梅莉、蔡士弘、陈嫣冉將當代藝術的未來感,透過主題、材質等無邊際地探討藝術未知之境的巨大可能性。

航向未知:無盡的探索

航向未知是對生命之旅的隱喻,充滿了不確定性與啟示,顧洛水、山本真澄、八館ななこ、東條明子和中莖あかり開啟了傳統與創新的未知之旅,如同亞哈和他的船員航行於未知海洋中的不懈追求相互呼應。

『未來方舟:邊境之謎』將《白鯨記》的存在主義探詢與當代藝術表達相互融合的策展旅程,每件展出精選都邀請觀者反思自身的情境、航向無垠邊界以及勇敢探索未知。透過這次展會,梅爾維爾史詩中的永恆主題將再次重塑,引導我們透過藝術家之眼,穿越當代藝術的無垠之境。

Neptunue Gallery is honored to participate once again in Art Taipei 2024. This year’s exhibition, titled “Future Ark: The Mystery of the Border,” draws its curatorial concept from American novelist Herman Melville’s (1819-1891) literary classic Moby-Dick (The Whale). This theme resonates with the novel’s exploration of overcoming the fear of the unknown, discovery, survival, and transcending boundaries. In the realm of human creativity, art serves as both a reflection and an exploration of the collective psyche. Neptunue Gallery will showcase eleven contemporary artists who symbolize infinite possibilities. Like stewards of an ark navigating the unknown borders of the art world, these artists will guide viewers on a boundless journey of visual and intellectual exploration, delving into the unknown, survival, boundaries, and future of contemporary art. The exhibition will run from October 25 (Friday) to October 28 (Monday), with a VIP preview on October 24 (Thursday) at 3 PM. We cordially invite you to join us.

Moby-Dick: A Literary Ark of Protection and Survival
Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick is a story of obsession, the fear of the unknown depths of the ocean, and relentless pursuit. The novel’s symbolism and existential questions provide a rich framework for this curatorial concept. Just as Captain Ahab’s ship, the Pequod, becomes a microcosm of humanity’s struggle with nature and fate, the eleven participating artists serve as an ark, with their art symbolizing a refuge and preservation of life in the apocalypse. Yi Shuan WU, I Ting KUO, and Ryota KANNO’s works recreate nature, echoing the deep reflections on the relationship between humanity and nature found in Moby-Dick.

Border: The Edge Between the Known and Unknown
Borders represent the boundary between the known and the unknown, a space of both potential and peril. This evokes the vast, uncharted seas faced by the Pequod, embodying the tension and allure of venturing into uncharted territories. Maria BARBAN, Shih Hung TSAI, and Yanran CHEN explore the immense possibilities of the unknown in contemporary art through themes and materials, pushing the boundaries of artistic exploration.

Voyage into the Unknown: Endless Exploration
Voyaging into the unknown is a metaphor for the journey of life, filled with uncertainties and revelations. Rakusui KO, Masumi YAMAMOTO, Nanaco YASHIRO, Akiko TOJO, and Akari NAKAKUKI embark on an unknown journey of tradition and innovation, mirroring Ahab and his crew’s relentless pursuit in the uncharted ocean.

“Future Ark: The Mystery of the Border” is a curatorial journey that fuses the existential inquiries of Moby-Dick with contemporary artistic expression. Each selected piece invites viewers to reflect on their own circumstances, navigate boundless borders, and courageously explore the unknown. Through this exhibition, the timeless themes of Melville’s epic are reimagined, guiding us through the vast realms of contemporary art through the eyes of the artists.
