超能力主題展
2023.02.24 – 2023.03.25

新年新希望 (New Year's resolution)
乘載著超能力的希冀,期許帶來新的收穫。
新的一年代表一個新的開始, 我們中許多人往往會訂下目標期許自己實現各方面成就的機會,像個內部驅動的能量,重置自己並在新年展現更好的一面,從心理學概念為”新起點效應”。
新年後的第一個展覽,精選出非洲部落具超能力象徵的作品,如果有個重置功能,您希望擁有甚麼超能力呢? 是秉持正義、明辨是非、無私的超能力;或是防禦,能抵禦不好的事物;
又或者是免於疾病,治癒功能的魔法;還是失物找回?預測未來? 或是擁有糧食取之不盡的
能力…
此展覽透過部落文化賦予具體的象徵意義,除了可以感受到非洲部落裡一股特別原始的力量外,附有延伸想像的作品,以視覺的聯想和直覺反應,對於現代來看也是非洲美學的另一種體現,
Carrying the hope of superpowers, this exhibition aims to bring new harvests.
The new year represents a fresh start. Many of us often set goals and aspire to achieve accomplishments in various areas, driven by an internal energy to reset ourselves and show a better version of ourselves in the new year. This is referred to in psychology as the "fresh start effect."
The first exhibition after the new year presents a selection of works from African tribal art, symbolizing superpowers. If there were a reset function, what superpower would you wish to have? Would it be the superpower of justice, the ability to discern right from wrong, and selflessness? Or a defensive power to ward off negative forces? Perhaps the power to heal, to be immune to disease? Or the ability to recover lost items, predict the future, or possess endless food?
This exhibition conveys specific symbolic meanings through tribal culture. It allows us to feel the unique primitive power found in African tribal art, alongside works that extend the imagination. With visual associations and intuitive responses, these pieces offer another manifestation of African aesthetics in the modern context.
