盧明德《微型遷徙》+「海口味」－服務台
「海口味」展覽服務台以漁港旁的小酒館為概念，由吧檯、霓虹燈招牌與幾何的貨櫃屋體構成。
本次也結合藝術家盧明德的創作，展出其最新的「飜案屋（Hon An Ya）」貨櫃系列及其著名的「媒體是一切（Media is Everything）」裝置。盧明德延續他的「大遷徙」（Great Migration）概念，製作具有方舟意涵的小型貨櫃，並以「飜案屋」的動物形象的將其創作以品牌的形式重新呈現。結合一旁《Media is Everything》霓虹燈，創造在生態上與藝術上的「遷徙」。
Inspired by the bistro at the fishing harbour, the Sea Flavoured Reception design is a combo of bar, neon sign and geometric container.
Additionally, there is the showcase of artist Lu Ming-Te for his new container series “Hon An Ya” and well-known installation “Media is Everything”. The small-scale containers implying image of Noah’s Ark as the extension of his Great Migration concept are presented with animal appearance in “Hon An Ya”, which has been developed as a brand of art. With the “Media is Everything” neon light aside, the artist creates the imagery migration in the sense of both ecology and art.
盧明德 Lu Ming-Te
藝術家盧明德1950年生於高雄，後赴日本筑波大學研究所研習綜合造型。受麥克魯漢（Marshall McLuhan）的「媒體就是訊息」的影響，1986年提出「媒體是一切」的宣言，宣示了藝術創作上的典範轉移。藉由藝術與符號的轉化，盧明德的創作面向多元，跨越多種媒材，從平面繪畫、錄影裝置、立體雕塑、空間裝置到現成物件的使用，應用不同符號構成、物件與畫面的組合、疊加並書寫其創作內容中的敘事。
本次「海口味」所展出的作品是延續盧明德「大遷徙」（Great Migration）脈絡的最新創作。「大遷徙」在他的概念裡強調著對於當代藝術脈動、人與自然交互關係的觀察，也藉此隱喻創作歷程上如「遷徙」般所進行的大規模與長時間的創造行為。結合這兩年間持續發展的「飜案屋」（Ho An Ya）品牌計劃，除了規模縮小的「遷徙視界」外，也將不同的形象與符碼佈滿展出的小型物件：展場中的小型貨櫃如同生命萬物起源的方舟，隱喻著他出身工業港都的背景；而象徵回歸自然與生命的牛群，透過圖像、雕塑等多層意義的視覺符號，構築出盧明德為這次「海口味」所創造了僅有一次的「微型遷徙」。同時，他也將這件雕塑裝置的多元創作支線合而為一，帶領觀眾挖掘「遷徙」概念中的深遠意涵。
Born in Kaohsiung in 1950, artist Lu Ming-Te took his master degree in Plastic Art and Mixed Media in University of Tsukuba, Japan. Inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s “The Medium is the Message”, he made his statement “Media is Everything” in 1986 and declared the paradigm shift in arts practices. By bridging art and symbolism, Lu expands his art practices with the diversity of multimedia, from painting, video, sculpture, installation to readymade objects and applies the symbols as a combo, the composition of objects and images, thus creates rich layers of narration in his works.
The new piece presented for interpreting “Sea Flavoured” is an extension of Lu Ming Te's context “Great Migration”. Lu applies inter-relationships with contemporary art, human and nature into perspective according to the “Great Migration” concept. On the other hand, migration is also a metaphor of his long art practices path in great scale. The small-scale migration image is combined with “Hon An Ya”, an art brand project in process over the two years, therefore covered with the signature icons and symbols. The image of the relatively small container similizes the ark, origin of all life, moored in the venue, implying the artist's port city background. Cows as pictorial and sculptural visualization of multiple meanings symbolize the return to nature and life.
