Shiota Chiharu was born in 1972 in Osaka Prefecture, and grew up in Kishiwada City. From 1992 to 1996, she studied oil painting at the Art Department of Kyoto Seika University, while also working as an assistant to Muraoka Saburo (1928-2013) in the Sculpture Department. During this time she studied abroad at the Australian National University School of Art in Canberra, and began making performances and installations. At the age of nineteen, she saw a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Shiga by the Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930-2017), which inspired Shiota to plan to go to Germany so that she could study under Abakanowicz. After a long and involved process, Shiota went to Europe in 1996 and enrolled at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg. She subsequently studied with the performance art pioneer Marina Abramovic (1946-) at the Braunschweig University of Art from 1997 to 1998, and then with Rebecca Horn (1944-) at Berlin University of the Arts. Since then, Shiota has been based in Berlin, actively showing her works at biennales and exhibitions at art museums and galleries. From 1993 up until 2021, she has exhibited at more than 300 solo shows, group exhibitions, biennales, and other events.

「塩田千春：顫動的靈魂」是以柏林為據點、現今活躍於世界舞台的藝術家塩田千春舉辦迄今規模最大的個展。此次展出作品共計一百多件，從90年代的早期創作直到近期，除了大型裝置之外，另外包括雕塑、行為藝術錄像、攝影、素描，以及舞台設計相關圖稿，全面性介紹她橫跨二十五年的藝術生涯。

其中，由紅線或黑線交纏而成、鋪天蓋地貫串整個空間的大型裝置，可以說是塩田的代表系列。千絲萬縷勾勒出無法計數的線條，不僅暗指各式各樣的事物與錯綜複雜的連結，同時也在召喚我們思索存在的奧義。這些作品的底蘊，來自藝術家始終關注的生與死，以及一個根本的提問：我們生命中究竟要追求什麼，又要去向何處？

展覽副標名為「顫動的靈魂」，精確點出藝術家無法言喻的內心衝擊，以及她希冀傳達這份洶湧感受的渴望。鑒於今日一切變化十分急速，價值體系也正不斷遞嬗，整個社會賴以安身的堅實觀點似乎已然消失，我們相信，藉由塩田作品的深刻、敏銳，及其本質上引發共鳴的特性，本次展出必定能在我們回望這個世界之際，提供一股不可或缺的省思力量。


Shiota Chiharu: The Soul Trembles is the largest exhibition devoted to the Berlin-based, internationally active artist Shiota Chiharu. On display are some one hundred works ranging from her 1990s output to her latest pieces. In addition to large-scale installation, there are sculptures, performance videos, photographs, drawings, and materials related to her stage design projects. The exhibition marks the first time that her artistic career spanning some twenty-five years will be introduced in a comprehensive fashion.

Among these works are large-scale installations in which black and red threads run through and envelop the entire space, constituting one of her most representative artwork series. The countless lines traced out in thread allude to various phenomena and a complex array of links and connections, while also beckoning us towards the deepest reaches of existence. At the root of these works lie Shiota’s incessantly-pursued themes of life and death, as well as a fundamental inquiry into what we all pursue in life, and where we are heading.

The subtitle of this exhibition, “The Soul Trembles,” refers to the emotional stirrings of the heart that cannot be put into words, in addition to being a manifestation of thoughts the artist hopes to convey to others. In today’s contemporary age, everything changes at a rapid pace, and value systems are in constant flux: it can seem as if the firm and unyielding beliefs that society as a whole has relied upon are themselves being lost. Against this backdrop, the museum is hosting this exhibition in the belief that the keenly aware work of Shiota, which bears a relationship to essential, universal notions, is exceptionally significant in enabling us to question the world.

「身與心變得支離破碎，而我再也止不住這些無法駕馭的情感。
我將身體四散攤放，和它們在心裡對話。
把身體連結到紅線上，原來是這麼一回事……好像終於理解。
表達出這些情感，並賦予它們形體，這麼做總會同時摧毀了靈魂。」

“The mind and body become detached from each other, and I am no longer able to put a stop to these uncontrollable emotions.
I lay my own body out in scattered pieces and have a conversation with it in my mind.
Somehow, I understand that this is what the act of connecting my body to these red threads is about.
The act of expressing these emotions and giving them a form always also involves the soul being destroyed. “
