The Foundation will host an opening event for artist Anri Sala. Sala will speak online at the event with Jenny Yeh, Executive Director of Winsing Arts Foundation, and Amy Cheng, the co-founder of TheCube Project Space. This exhibition, AS YOU GO, suggests a dynamic concept, based on the flow of music and images, giving the audience a feeling of participation in it, like a “parade”. This exhibition, AS YOU GO, contains three recordings of Ravel, Ravel, Take Over and If and Only If. It is not only an interweaving of three works, it is a projection device, but also a unique and huge dynamic sculpture.
Anri Sala said: “I hope you can get into the screen to screen, there are many different gaps in this work: between music and music, Marseilles and international songs in culture and history. You can walk into the physical spaces to experience this work without worrying too much about not understanding its historical and political meaning first, but actually entering the work to feel it. When we can feel this interval in a bodily way, perhaps we will have a different understanding of the metaphors behind the work.”
Amy Cheng: “AS YOU GO, this work is a channel for the viewer to pass through and enter, and the artist gives the audience the right to view it as they pass through. Here, the audience can be proactive, that is, when we perceive history, time, or social situations, we engage in dialogue, conciliation, and even conflict. We use our sense of survival to find ways of feeling harmonious or disharmonious between these different interpretations.”
Jenny Yeh, the Executive Director of the Foundation, concluded: “This work is in the same context as the collection of the Foundation, and the things we collect are often elegant and beautiful, but behind this elegance and beauty, there is a deep sense of history, time, space. What is important in contemporary art is not to first understand what is behind the work, but to be able to walk through the exhibition space, to feel the work with the body, to appreciate the work and, after a continuous experience, to feel what the artist wants to convey. For me, what contemporary art represents is more esoteric, and works can touch our hearts to spare ourselves the problems we have. That's also why i collect as you go.”
