奧地利薩爾斯堡文化廳 2017年薦送藝術家
凱˙沃克維亞克
駐村期間，受蕭壠年度計畫交陪展的啟發，藝術家嘗試提問，那些已逝去的靈魂，他們的精神如何影響現在的人類；例如，以當代藝術而言，杜象可說是20世紀最具影響力的存在。透過一種中西文化對話的方式，藝術家嘗試結合台灣對於鬼魂的詮釋和傳統信仰，以及西方解構主義哲學家德希達提出的「幽靈學」，探討逝去的人們雖已死去，但他們留下的思想如同過往的鬼魂持續影響著現在。
個展包含攝影、影像及裝置作品，從歷史與社會文化的角度，雙重探索精神信仰及真實世界。
Kay Walkowiak
Exhibition: Given: The Haunting Ghost
In his Given: The Haunting Ghost solo exhibition developed for the Soulangh Cultural Park, the artist Kay Walkowiak approaches the question of how spirits of the past still exist in the present. With the outstanding example of Marcel Duchamp, as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Kay Walkowiak opens up a cultural dialogue between traditional beliefs in ghosts and spirits in Taiwanese culture and the concept of „Hauntology“ by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Hauntology as a nature of being is an idea that inherently embeds the realm of the past in that of the present, the ghosts of the past returning to haunt us.
In an eclectic compilation of new works, Walkowiak sounds out the historical and socio-cultural impact of a belief system in spirits and the virtual layers of reality.
