理念 | Statement
今年的創作希望能夠延續這個考古與記憶的命題以一種相反的、逆轉向上的姿態來創作。因此,這次作品希望能夠在之前的創作地點往上堆疊出新的地質層,這個地質層一方面模擬了過去深藏地下的歷史,另外一方面也暗示了我們的「現在」就是未來的過去這一個事實。究竟未來面貌是如何?就看我們如何堆疊現在了。
This year’s artwork is an extension of the archaeology and memory theme through inversion. As such, Guandu Archaeology II will form a new stratum on top of the previous creative locale. The stratum will model a history that has been buried underground but will also hint at the reality that our present is the past of our future. What will our future landscapes behold? That depends on how we construct our now.

Bo-Sen Liao

Born in Yilan, Taiwan in 1974, Bo-Sen Liao currently resides and works in Taipei as an artist, art educator, and curator. His art is primarily drawings and installations revolving around existential musings inspired from his own personal experiences. Recent works explore how various media and audiovisuals have shaped the narrative in a capitalist world. He also spotlights the struggles of alternative subcultures in Taiwan’s society, attempting to transform rigid landscapes through new forms of public art created in collaboration with various communities. Liao is now actively engaging in land art and art festivals as a way to contemplate the connections of local contexts with space, scenery, and natural environments.
