The Body Boundary of Contemporary Society 當代社會的身體邊界 - Permanent Exhibition 艸愚軒常設展 

Introduction

展覽的主題中，「Boundary」一詞被翻譯為「邊界」，而其字根「bond」卻有連結和聯繫之意。

當下的我們生活在一個面臨病毒、戰爭、自我認同和自然環境急劇變化的社會。在這樣的背景下，身體的邊界是如何形成？是因為傷痕或疾病引起的痛苦，還是對外在世界急劇變化的無力感和自我壓縮所致？藝術家的作品彷彿是對未來想像的兩條途徑，同時也是對人類歷史的回盼。他們的作品在消費至上的景觀社會中，回應了本質存在的內在觀察，而藝術的核心思考則是通過對生命經驗的積淀，提出身為藝術家所見，以及如何思考感知自身存在的時代觀點。

In interpreting the theme of the exhibition, the term "Boundary" is translated as "邊界," with its root "bond" carrying connotations of connection and association. 

For current generation, we areengage  in a society undergoing rapid transformations, navigating through challenges such as viruses, wars, shifts in self-identity, and environmental upheavals. Against this backdrop, this exhibition delves into the inquiry of how the boundaries of the human body come into existence. Are they born from the pain of scars or illnesses, or do they emerge as a result of the profound changes, accompanied by feelings of powerlessness and self-compression? The works of these artists appear to present not only diverging paths of future imagination but also a retrospective examination of human history. Their artistic expressions serve as responses to the intrinsic observations of existence within a consumer-centric society. At the core of their artistic reflections lies an exploration of life experiences, offering insights into what they, as artists, perceive and how they contemplate the zeitgeist's perspective on self-awareness.
