展覽電影：走進美術館，也走出了社會的邊緣！
〈中國當代藝術中的電影〉新書座談會
時間：2019.04.19 (五) 7-9pm
地點：台北當代藝術中心（台北市大同區保安街49巷11號1樓 ，近捷運大橋頭站）
主講：董冰峰《展覽電影：中國當代藝術中的電影》作者
與談嘉賓：鄭慧華（立方計劃空間總監及獨立策展人）、孫松榮（國立台南藝術大學動畫藝術與影像美學研究所教授）
「展覽電影」（Cinema of Exhibition）指的是美術館中的電影。既可以泛指一種區別於傳統電影工業之外的影像藝術形態，同時也可以指關於美術館中影像藝術展覽問題的範疇。前者指出展覽電影是關於影像藝術的藝術語言及其表現；後者則說明展覽電影也包括一種美術館機制運作與策展的知識生產方式。
「展覽電影」是一個正在發展中的概念。作者希望透過書寫與研究該概念與現象，表現中國社會當下日益混雜和變化中的影像藝術實踐的豐富維度。正如中國藝術的「現代化」才剛剛上路，一方面要逐漸適應所面臨複雜的社會政治狀況與藝術文化的問題，另一方面也面對日益快速轉化中的國際交流與互動。
為了能夠將此一議題有更廣闊且深入的分享和討論，此次由出版本書的阿橋社邀請作者董冰峰來台參與新書座談，並且由獨立展人鄭慧華、藝術評論人孫松榮教授擔任與談嘉賓。本次座談將分成兩個階段：第一階段將由作者主講，內容從本書幾個主要議題出發，分享中國獨立電影的興起，以及數位技術的發展如何直接或間接地影響了社會變革，最後延伸到美術館的當代展覽場域的問題面向。第二階段則借重兩位與談嘉賓的經驗和專業，與聽眾分享錄像藝術的電影性、社會行動意識，他們對此類型影像在展覽與策展中發展的各種思考。

Cinema of Exhibition means moving images presented in art gallery and museum. It could be video artwork, different from films made in traditional film industry. It also touches upon questions of installing and presenting moving images in the space of art institutions. The former emphasizes that Cinema of Exhibition as a form of moving images has its definitive language and expression; the latter shows that Cinema of Exhibition includes ways of building knowledge in terms of curating and confronting systematic politics in art institution.
Cinema of Exhibition is a concept that continues evolving. Through the author’s writing and research, he hopes to present the rich layers of the increasingly diversified practices of moving image in contemporary Chinese society. As the “modernization” of Chinese art world has just begun, the book on the one hand addresses the complex social and political conditions as well as artistic and cultural issues in China. On the other hand, it also documents the rapid transformation in the practice influenced by frequent international exchanges.
Invited by the publisher Pon D’Art, Dong Bingfeng, the author of Cinema of Exhibition, Amy Cheng, the renowned independent curator, and Professor Song-yong Sing will join the book launch. Cheng and Sing both have years of practical experiences in writing and curating moving images. The event will be divided into two sections: the first one will be a presentation by the author Dong Bingfeng with several major topics in this book, including the emergence of independent films in China, how the development of digital technology directly or indirectly affects social changes, and the ongoing debates of museum as contemporary exhibition space.
The second section will be a discussion between Dong Bingfeng, Amy Cheng and Song-yong Sing. They will share the filmic elements and the consciousness of social movement in video art, as well as their observations and thoughts in years of researching, curating and presenting movie-images.
