The major annual C-LAB exhibition "Re: Play" opens today! The exhibition is led by a team comprising of C-LAB curator CHUANG Wei-Tzu , along with guest curators WANG Po-Wei and River LIN. A group of 16 artists are also invited to participate in live performances and multiple exploration of archives, narratives, spaces, objects, and the body.
"Next Scene" is the third collaboration between Joyce HO and Snow HUANG. With the work, the artists continue their exploration of the relations between “places” and “memories” with “traces” as indicators. In Next Scene, detachable pillars are created—based on the shape of the “pillars” that support the main building of Air Force Command Headquarters—and installed in “Art Space III.” A “pillar” as an architectural element that structurally supports beams and the building as a whole often helps create the space for those who remain alive to shelter and to survive. However, when pillars are removed from the beams and the building they support, standing one next to another in an empty space, they are turned into monuments to bear memories of the deceased.
During the exhibition, the audience can move the pillars around and make different arrangements in the space. In addition, performances in the form of “scene changes” are conducted every week. Every“rearrangement” is a “remake” of narratives of memories. The scenes no longer serve as mere stage backgrounds for performances and narratives to happen. Instead, rearrangements happening during the “scene changes” are turned into the “narrative” itself.
