無明 Realities of Ignorance

「無明」一詞出自《般若波羅蜜多心經》，指人對世間事物的執念，是煩惱的根源。執念是我的一種形式，折射為無數念頭，也意味著意識仍處於混沌、缺乏覺察與理解的狀態。本展邀請王郁瑄、孫培懋、顏妤庭三位藝術家，各自以創作面對並處理自身的執念；其手法奇想、荒誕、詭譎而不馴，刻意將誇張的想像與現實生活交織，藉以安放生命中的種種遭遇，或建構一個更為理想的世界。

“Ignorance” (avidyā), as expounded in the Heart Sutra, refers to human obsession with things in life, a source of mundane worries. This exhibition features three artists — Wang Yu-Hsuan, Sun Pei-Mao and Yen Yu-Ting — each of whom confronts his or her obsessive thoughts through artistic creation. Their approaches are fantastic, absurd, treacherous and unruly, intentionally interlacing exaggerated imagination with real life.
