1985生於苗栗三義。畢業於國立台灣藝術大學美術系研究所。自2014年起,透過知識和實地探查,將「填補空白」作為創作思考的核心,填補是創作切入的態度,空白則是我們這一代面對台灣歷史和政治的狀態。蓋廟計畫以當代藝術者之於廟宇二者間,探討其與廟宇或神明間似合作、或上對下的關係意涵。

呼應蕭壠年度展覽計畫《近未來的交陪-藝陣X當代設計展》,蕭壠國際藝術村徵選四位台灣藝術家,深耕於廟宇彩繪的藝術家李俊陽、視覺藝術家林書楷、新興糊紙店(茂興齋)後代張徐展、木作藝術家邱子晏,共同創作策劃「友境蓋廟」駐村計畫。

「友境蓋廟」計畫,希望透過藝術的對話,進行一場交陪的儀式,以常民生活與信仰,由藝術家從中建構藝術的語言與符號。以蓋廟的概念,想像廟(屋子)的基底為一座祭壇,由李俊陽藝術家以民間廟宇意象進行傳統彩繪,視覺藝術家林書楷繪製巨幅繪畫,結合張徐展的立體紙糊作品、木作藝術家邱子晏進行大廟的形狀建構。創作過程中,藝術家的作品將不斷往上堆疊,同時幅射向外增生,像有機體的繁衍不斷膨脹,展館宛如成為一座大廟,觀眾進入展館的同時,如同進入一間大廟,亦是進入藝術家的異想世界。

Born in Sanyi, Miaoli in 1985, Chiou holds an MFA from the Graduate Program in Fine Arts of National Taiwan University of the Arts. Since 2014, his art practice has focused on “filling the blanks” through comprehensive study and on-site investigation. He attempts to use his works to fill the blanks of historical or political conditions in Taiwan faced by this generation. Building a temple through the expression of contemporary art gives us an insight into the seemingly cooperative but actually a top-down relationship among temples and Gods.

Responding to the annual project ‘Kau-Puê, Mutual Companionship in Near Future: Folk Art Parade ✕ Design Exhibition’, four Taiwanese artists were selected to conduct residency in Soulangh Artist Village. The project, Building a Temple in Companionship, is co-organized by the temple-painting artist, Jiun-yang Li, visual artist, Shu-kai Lin, the successor of Hsin-Hsing Paper Sculpture Store, Xu-zhan Zhang, and woodcraft artist, Zih-Yan Chiou.

This project aims to carry out a ritual of ‘Kau-Puê’, mutual companionship, through the dialogues of different forms of art. The artists constructed artistic languages and symbols based on life and belief of local community. The concept is to imagine the foundation of a temple (house) is an altar built up by Jiun-yang Li’s traditional colored drawing based on the imagery of folk belief, Shu-kai Lin’s large-scale painting, Xu-zhan Zhang’s 3 dimensional paper sculptures, Zih-Yan Chiou’s construction of the temple’s wooden structure. With the artworks piling up, expanding, and multiplying like an organism, the exhibition space turned into a massive temple welcoming the audience and leading them into a fantasy world of the artists.
