時間：2019.06.08（六）5-6pm
地點：台北當代藝術中心 TCAC （台北市大同區保安街49巷11號1樓，近捷運大橋頭站）
本活動為現象書寫系列專欄《關鍵字時代 – 當地理作為一種隱喻》當中的一起事件。與談人陳璽安將從近年的同人寫作開始，這些文本往往與破碎的時間感有關——從「兒童是種科幻小說的類型」講起，直到近期與中國藝術家劉窗共同撰寫的「修正主義加速主義」論述。
陳璽安：
陳璽安的思辨寫作曾於2015受推薦獲摩納哥皮埃爾王子基金會的當代藝術寫作獎，目前為北京長征計劃研究員。他近期共同策劃的項目包括「長征計劃：違章建築三——特區」（北京長征空間、廣東時代美術館，2018）、「行星馬克思」（2019）等。
關於《關鍵字時代 – 當地理作為一種隱喻》：
台北當代藝術中心（TCAC）獲首屆國藝會「現象書寫-視覺評論」專案補助，以提案《關鍵字時代 – 當地理作為一種隱喻》，透過非典型的文章形式與內容，想像藝術評論書寫的可能性。五位作者王柏偉、方彥翔、郭娟、徐詩雨與陳璽安將自行挑選一個關鍵字發展系列藝術評論，可進行多位藝術家同時評論，或是跨國界與跨展覽的書寫。文體也將跳脫傳統評論形式，以小說形式或是散文等形式等創作，於中英雙語藝術媒體平台《介面 SCREEN》發表。並且於2019年由每位評論人根據書寫關鍵字中涉及的概念，策劃一「事件」。透過TCAC作為一個具有實體空間的連結點，橫向連結評論人與空間的互動，本專欄所生產的知識可以以文字之外的姿態呈現。
* 本活動感謝國藝會「現象書寫-視覺評論」專案、文心藝術基金會、蘇美智女士的慷慨支持。

About The Age of Keywords: Geography as Metaphor:
TCAC, the grantee of newly launched Visual Art Critic Project, is proud to announce the launch of a new column The Age of Keywords: Geography as Metaphor, in collaboration with the bilingual online art platform SCREEN. This column aims to challenge the traditional format of art criticism, re-imaging new forms of effective art criticism in our time. Five contributors—Po-wei Wang, Fang Yen-Hsiang, Guo Juan, Shih-yu Hsu, and Zian Chen—will each develop a writing series based on a selected keyword. The manifestations could be essayistic reviews that draw connections between exhibitions and artworks from different countries, or fictional, poetic pieces that question our perceptions of reality. In addition, each contributor will curate a “happening” that centers around his or her chosen keyword in 2019. Ideas and subjects generated by the writings can be further expanded and passed on beyond written texts and shared between individuals in TCAC’s physical space.
* The Visual Art Critic Project is sponsored by National Culture and Arts Foundation, Taiwan, Winsing Arts Foundation and Mrs. Su Mei-Chi.
