徐坦：關鍵詞計畫
關鍵詞展覽開幕：11/17 , 7 PM
關鍵詞工作坊：11/17 ~24 , 1~9 PM
如果社會是一所大學，為什麼“關鍵詞“不能建構成一所學校？
徐坦的”關鍵詞」實驗項目，將於11月17至23日，在TCAC台北當代藝術中心進行為期一週的關鍵詞工作坊，此次將以「藝術體制、新自由主義、財團介入、文化政策」為關鍵詞進行探索。
「關鍵詞學校」簡介：
1. 這個學校初始於藝術家徐坦，基於他這幾年來的研究和調查活動，徐坦發展了”搜尋關鍵詞”的交流方式鼓勵來自不同領域的人們進行對話和討論，從而展開了一種思考和感受交織的公共活動，而這本身就構成了一所”學校”的基本活動通過徐坦的引導和每一個參與者的參與，每一個「關鍵詞」都可以成為引發不同個體積極進入某種意識活動的媒介，這種由「關鍵詞」所引發的思考和感受相交織的公共意識流動構成了這所「關鍵詞學校」的主要內容。可以說，「關鍵詞學校」總是在創造「關鍵詞學校之後」的內容，在這裡，「學校」將成為隱喻，引導我們潛入生活和社會進程的深深海洋。
2. 這次在台北當代藝術中心的關鍵詞工作坊，是一個針對藝術體制，以及於藝術體制密切相關問題的「關鍵詞」的藝術活動。希望能出現一種超越傳統意義美學的運作狀況，嘗試把社會調查的方式變成藝術和美學意識運作的對象。如果徐坦是畫家的話，他想把社會學和語言調查方式當作例如風景，人體一般的作畫對象，他的願望是將藝術的認知活動與美學運作「混為一體」.
3. 這是一所預先設有主題—具體的關鍵詞，卻沒有設定目標，但有”學習方法”；一旦對話開啟，我們將無法知道結論是什麼，這裡開始了一種新公共空間，在這裡，來訪者，藝術家，教師，學生都沒有固定的身份，身份在不斷更換中；藝術家，你，還有你的同學，都可能是過程中的主導者，通過”關鍵詞”所進行交流和討論，你在創造藝術，藝術，將在我們的意識中完成。
徐坦認為，美學的意識，藝術創作活動，象河流一般，沒有終點，永遠流淌，永遠改變著。《參與者將和藝術家徐坦就關鍵詞出發進行面對面的交流互動，並充許整個過程被錄音、錄像，作為藝術家的研究素材。 》

Xu Tan: Keywords Project
Opening of Keywords Exhibition: 11/17, 7PM
Keywords Workshop: 11/17~24, 1~9 PM
If the society is a university (Social University), why can’t Keywords construct a school (Keywords School)?
A “Keywords” Workshop of Xu Tan’s “Keywords” experimental project will start from Nov.17 to Nov. 23 at Taipei Contemporary Art Center. He will explore the keywords “artistic institution, neoliberalism, corporate interference, cultural policy” this time.
Introduction to “Keywords School”
1. The 「Keywords School」 is a project based on the continuous investigation and research of 「keywords」 by the Chinese artist Xu Tan. He develops “Searching for Keywords” as a means of communication to encourage people in different fields to enter into a dialogue or discussion; thus a public event where thoughts and feelings intertwine unfolds. The event itself constitutes a “school.” Through Xu Tan’s guidance and every participant’s participation, every “keyword” can become a medium to stimulate each distinct individual to engage in a conscious activity. The stream of public consciousness invoked by “keywords” composes the main content of this “Keywords School.” “Keywords School” is always creating the content of “post-Keywords School.” Here the “school” becomes a metaphor, leading us to dive into the deep ocean of life and social process.
2. The workshop in Taipei Contemporary Art Center is an artistic event focusing on artitistic institution and the problems closely related to it. We expect an aesthetics that transcends the traditional equation of aesthetics and attempt to transform survey methods in social investigation into an art object of which aesthetic consciousness takes possession. If Xu Tan is a painter, he wants to treat sociology and the methodology of conducting a linguistic investigation as the object of painting such as landscapes and human bodies. His wish is to blend the conscious activity of making art and aesthetic operation.
3. This is a school with default subjects–concrete keywords; without setting goals but with “learning methodology. Once the dialogue starts, we will never know what the conclusion is. Here a new public space starts. Visitors, artists, teachers and students have no fixed identities. Identities are constantly changing. The artist, you or your classmates can be the initiator of the process, interacting and discussing through “keywords.” You are creating art. Art is completed in our consciousness.
Xu Tan believes that the aesthetic consciousness and the activity of art making are like a river that has no end, always flowing and changing.
The participants will have vis-à-vis interactions with the artist Xu Tan regarding keywords and allow the whole process to be audio and video recorded serving as the research material of the artist.
