Open your mind! There is more than one way to perceive the heart of life. In the digital age, different forms of art such as objects, paintings and photographs take you on a journey that giving you ideas about the forgotten nature and humanities. From 10th of October, Aki gallery will proudly present one of the most excited, sophisticated exhibitions “Open you Mind—New art made in Germany.” With the latest German art movement, thinking outside the white cube, and original German art works, Aki Gallery and Dr. Bernhard Zünkele is going to refresh the art scene in Taiwan!

One art project “Just a Moment, Please”, more then 30 works from four German and one Japanese artist are shown in “Open your Mind.” Instead of displaying art works in traditional galleries or museums which confining by the walls, “Just a moment, Please,” an installation from Amely Spötzl and Bernd Zoellner deals with the time, perceptions and possibilities. Fresh flowers will be left in the various locations in Taipei city, and the reactions of the passersby will be recorded.


 
Meanwhile, the exhibition inside the white cube is presenting a variety of arts and concepts that awake viewers’ feeling about what human beings used to own (but they not forgot.) Representing one of the most important German art style, Matthias Galvez’s painting mixed real life and dreamlike bird lands of suburban Berlin, precisely inherit the free spirit of expressionism. “Collections” of painted insects by Akihiro Higuchi ironically play with the anthropocentric way of looking down on nature. And you definitely should not miss the classic German nostalgias, the forgotten heroes fighting lost questions by Josef Bernhard Zünkeler.

 
 


The Flowing Feast : An Exhibition by Llunc Lin and Chih-chien Chen
2009/10/02~11/08

Exhibiting Artists：Llunc Lin、Chen Chih-Chien
Opening：2009/10/02 (五) 19:00

The term “flowing feast,” translated from a traditional Taiwanese open-air banquet on the road, captures the scene where guests walking in-and-out and dishes passed up-and-down.  Adopting such an organic feasting style, the flowing feast stimulates the interaction among the guests and extracts a collective existence in the banquet.


Chen Chih-Chien and Llunc Lin, the winners of Taipei Art Prize in 2006 (Chen) and 2008 (Lin), put on their first duet exhibition at Galerie Grand Siecle.  Named as “The Flowing Feast,” the artists borrow the three main concepts: “flow,” “liquidity,” and “feast,” – which together represent an intersectional perspective among collective awareness, materialistic perception, and spiritual sensation.  The exhibiting artworks <Flowing Pride> and <Seaing> thus describe a Utopian life from a global citizen’s perspective.  Through the fluidity of the representative images and their prophesy-like installations, these two young artists sincerely invite viewers to be our guests in “The Flowing Feast.”
