本講座將以英文進行。
來自紐約的表演藝術家、雕刻家Whitney Vangrin將於這場藝術家座談中介紹她的作品以及社群。
Whitney在Parsons獲得藝術學位後，便和其他藝術家共同經營了1:1藝術家自營空間。1:1作為一個臨時的自由空間，定期舉辦展覽和活動。而在該藝術空間結束後，她開始嘗試和其他藝術家、設計師、製片人合作。她的作品曾於MOMA PS.1 Queens、布魯克林的Issue Project Room、ICA London、瑞士的Walriss Gallery和邁阿密的Gallery Diet展出。
座談內容將涉及她如何看待與他人在表演、影片和雕塑上的共同創作，並討論她表演中的物理肢體和內在心理層面，以及她如何向真實性的認知提出質疑，創造出扣接現實主義與構成主義的作品。
另一個主題將討論表演如何作為一個消除表演者和觀眾被動狀態的事件。她試圖喚醒表演者和觀者活動的身軀，並征服人們的冷漠與犬儒主義。此外她也將深入探究表演中隱藏的敘事。
介紹完作品之後，Whitney並將介紹她在紐約下城共同合作的多樣藝術社群，以及這些關係如何影響她的實踐與生活。

New York-based performance artist and sculptor Whitney Vangrin will introduce her work and her community in this talk.
After graduating with a BFA from Parsons, Whitney co-founded the artist-run space 1:1. 1:1 acted as a Temporary Autonomous Zone, marked by frequent exhibitions and events. Following the dissolve of the physical 1:1, she began numerous collaborations with fellow artists, designers, and filmmakers. Her work has been shown at MOMA PS.1 Queens; Issue Project Room, Brooklyn; ICA London; Walriss Gallery, Switzerland, and Gallery Diet, Miami.
Her artist talk will discuss how she sees performance, film and sculpture working in unison with one another. She will touch on the physical and psychological aspects of her performances, and how she questions perceptions of authenticity, creating works that hinge upon realism and construction.
Another topic to be discussed will be how each performance is an event meant to negate passivity both in the performer and audience. She seeks to awaken the performer and the observer to their lived body, and subjugate people’s indifference and cynicism. She will also delve into some of the hidden narratives within her performance.
Following discussion of her body of work, Whitney will introduce the audience to the diverse community of artists with whom she associates and collaborates within the downtown New York scene and how those relationships have influenced her practice and life.
