Born in Taipei in 1957, Wu Mali graduated from Tamkang University’s Department of German in 1979. She pursued further studies at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts in Germany in 1981, earning a Master’s degree in Free Art Sculpture. Upon returning to Taiwan in 1985, Wu witnessed the country’s transition from authoritarianism to democracy. This shift led her to reconsider the role of artists in society, shifting her focus to reinterpret historical narratives through installations and objects, while integrating issues of gender and ethnicity. Over time, her work expanded into interdisciplinary explorations of social intervention, community connection, and raising local awareness. She is also a key translator and educator in the arts. In the late 1980s, she serialized Kandinsky’s art theories in Artist magazine. In 1994, she became the series editor for the "Art Museum" book collection, and since 2004, she has translated a series of public art discourses. From 2006 until her retirement in 2023, Wu taught at the National Kaohsiung Normal University’s Institute of Interdisciplinary Arts. In 2016, she became the first female artist to receive Taiwan’s National Award for Arts in the fine arts category.

吳瑪悧

1980 生於臺灣宜蘭，現居台北。旅法12年期間，於法國國立聖丹尼汎森大學(巴黎第八大學)先後獲得：視覺藝術碩士學位(2013)、以「回憶的物質性—當代藝術中的美學經驗作為記憶經驗」為題取得美學博士學位(2019)。其創作關注記憶裡可觸卻又隱而不顯的「生痕」現象，透過物質主動給出的過渡狀態，推遲創作中可能會產生的意義詮釋。作品依循著日常手勢的勞動，還原物質和身體之間所保持的若即若離，藉以顯現情感內裏的動態性，使得「在(現)場的物質」都隱含著一股「缺席的力道」，它們是訴說，也是靜默。

Born in 1980 in Yilan, Taiwan, and currently based in Taipei, Chuang spent 12 years in France, earning a Master’s degree in Visual Arts (2013) and a PhD in Aesthetics (2019) from Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis. Her doctoral research, The Materiality of Memory—Aesthetic Experience as Memory Experience in Contemporary Art, explores the tangible yet elusive traces of life embedded in memory. Her work focuses on the phenomenon of traces—marks of existence that are perceptible yet remain obscure. Through the transitional states that materials actively present, she postpones the interpretation of meaning that might emerge in the creative process. Her practice follows the labor of everyday gestures, restoring the delicate tension between material and body. In doing so, she reveals the dynamism within emotions, where the material in (or of) presence inherently carries an absence of force—speaking, yet silent.

1984 born in Palestine. She obtained a BA in Psychology from Birzeit University, Ramallah (2006) and an MFA in Fine Arts from Bezalel Academy for Arts and Design, Tel Aviv (2013), Culinary Arts, Kitchenclub Academy, Ramallah (2016). She explores the politics of disappearance and memory production by unpacking the social concerns and limitations of Palestinian communities amid contemporary political dilemmas. Since 2019 the artist has also been reflecting on the process of fermentation through text, ceramics and video works incorporated into site-specific interactive installations. Bamieh sees fermentation as a way to extend life, nurture beneficial ecologies, and shift flavors and textures—making it both a metaphor and a method in her multidisciplinary practice.

米爾納．巴米耶（Mirna Bamieh）

1988年生於泰國曼谷，畢業於澳洲墨爾本RMIT大學美術系。卡葳塔在其表演錄像中承擔各種重複和負擔沉重的任務，將自己變成機械工具和家居物品，將身體推向極限，以證明人類的能力和女性的韌性，深入探討和挑戰勞動壓迫、女性主義和消費主義等問題。

1994年出生於台灣高雄，目前在台中創作與經營藝術空間。於2016年畢業於東海大學美術系，隨後於2017年畢業於倫敦藝術大學切爾西學院美術研究所。作品關注「敘事」與「敘事方法」，敘事內容來自於記憶寫作與生活觀察，並透過文字、繪畫、裝置，將敘事結構脫離閱讀文本的維度，把故事的各種層面：記憶的虛實真偽，敘事節奏的輕重帶入詩性的空間裡產生共鳴。2018-2020年與夥伴經營台中中區老屋美術館「柳美術館」，2021年成立新空間「鯉魚藝廊」（Carp Gallery），現為鯉魚藝廊負責人。

Born in 1994 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, she currently creates and runs an art space in Taichung. Graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Tunghai University in 2016, followed by an MFA from Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, in 2017. Her work explores "narrative" and "narrative methods," drawing from memory writing and everyday observations. Through text, painting, and installation, she detaches narrative structures from the dimension of written text, bringing the various aspects of storytelling: the reality of memory, the weight of the narrative rhythm, into a poetic space to create resonance. From 2018 to 2020, she co-managed the "Liu Art Museum" in Central District of Taichung. In 2021, she founded a new space, Carp Gallery, where she currently serves as director.

李芳吟

創立於2016年，其核心成員洪千涵、張剛華、黃鼎云皆為近年在表演藝術領域持續創作的編導，三人畢業於國立臺北藝術大學戲劇學系，決定以團體形式尋找創作上的可能。有別於常見的團體組成中以專業、技術、功能為導向的分類激盪模式，將三人同時置放於「作者」的位置，以水平式生產進行藝術創作。現階段作為發展主軸的核心觀念：「現場展/演」(Live Exhibition)、「回應式創作」(Responding Creation)、「沉浸式計畫」(Immersive Project)在表現形式上並不侷限特定媒材/媒體，更重視生產過程與社會、環境、科技、歷史等其他領域之折衝。關注重整調度觀演關係，期許透過作品,透過不同感官經驗、空間敘事，在「日常經驗」與「主動生產」間著力，實驗出更多可能。

The group established in 2016, consists of core members Hung Chien Han, Chang Kang Hua and Huang Ding Yun, all graduates of the National Taiwan University of Arts. Their decided to seek creative possibilities in the form of a group. Unlike the common group formation that is oriented to professional, technical, and functional categorization, the three of them are placed in the position of “authors” at the same time to create artworks in a horizontal production. The core concepts of this stage of development: Live Exhibition, Responding Creation, and Immersive Project are not limited to specific media, but emphasize the conflict between the production process and other fields such as society, environment, technology, and history. It also emphasizes on the conflict between the production process and other fields such as society, environment, science and technology, history, etc. The project emphasizes on the integration of the viewing relationship, and hopes to experiment more possibilities through the works, through different sensory experiences and spatial narratives, and between “daily experience” and “active production”.

長椅的一端坐著公爵，另一端坐著無家可歸的流浪漢，一段對話正要開啟。 這就是展覽的存在，向上面對購買藝術品的百萬富翁，向下面對對藝術感興趣的普羅大眾。這一刻，它將一個線性的二維關係轉化成存在於三維空間的平台，無論你是誰，歡迎加入這場談話。這有可能是現存改變世界最平和的方式了。

On the end of the bench sits the Duchess, with the homeless tramp at the other end,
thereby a conversation is about to begin.
This is the existence of the “Art Exhibition”, facing upwards to the millionaires who
purchase art, and downwards to the general public who are interested in it. At this
very moment, it transforms a linear two-dimensional relationship into a platform
that exists in three-dimensional space. No matter who you are, welcome to the
conversation. This may be the most peaceful way to shift the world.
“Miss Bench” is an art curator addicted to travel, a civilian art critic, and an observer
of daily spectacles. The following content is her experience and thought sharing,
which is only for individuals with independent thinking to read. Those who are
seeking the correct fixed answers should not enter.

策展註腳

-「你都沒有夢想嗎？」
-「不是每個人都跟你一樣有夢想，你要接受有些人就只是想經營一個家庭，安安靜靜地過日子。」
這是我16歲之後反覆與母親進行的對話，直到我30歲才真正接受她的答案，我發現有一些「對話」並不能透過語言傳達，問答之間，從好奇開始，參雜著生活的閱歷與與情感的依託，觸發輕微的共鳴，才有可能進入真正意義上的溝通。

這個展覽起源於我迫近30歲的疑惑。
望著照片中那位精心打扮的文藝女青年，我開始好奇是什麼讓她決定走進婚姻、決定用她的子宮承載我、決定放棄對於自我的訴求？好奇那一代的女人是否都無法避免的要面對社會的招撫？好奇我對母親的偏見會不會是一個世代的偏見？好奇這個對話能否透過展覽產出的過程，擴及更廣泛的人群？

在2023年，我開啟了名為「陳美玲」的計畫，這位女人的名字擷取自我與母親的名字中各一個字，冠上百家姓中最高人數的姓氏，創造了在出生於50年代女性排行第三的「菜市仔名」。

對話的開始是「傾聽」，在展覽的前期研究階段，我採訪了8位現今60至70歲身處不同原生家庭環境、教育背景、婚姻狀況的女性生命經驗，再透過拼貼構成「陳美玲」的人生以及她所經歷的台灣社會大事紀；以小說家高博倫書寫的短篇小說《黑麻雀》作為策展論述。

本次展覽以小說文本為骨，藝術家為肉。我透過不斷的揣摩文本、一步步抽絲剝繭「陳美玲」的過程，尋找到了一位酷兒與八位不同世代的女性藝術家加入這場對話，她們的身份包含視覺藝術家、兒童繪畫老師、紀錄片導演、劇場導演、食物設計師，透過作品的多重視角與維度共同描繪出50年代出生的台灣女人集體群像，「陳美玲」的身份切換於紡織廠女工、公娼、家庭主婦、女畫家之間，她是台灣母親的時代縮影。

展覽中的策展註腳所呈現的是社會檔案，包含口述歷史、報紙、短影音報導，以及一本囊括了一名女人一生紀錄的相冊。歷史是隻無形的手，編導了一切，在其中的我們都在面對大環境下的「不得不」，做著別無選擇的選擇。

這次，以「傾聽」為起手式，交融事實的述說與隔代的想像，期待尋找到世代差異間理解的交匯處。

  "Don’t you have dream?"
  "Not everyone has dreams like you do. You need to accept that some people just want to have a family and live an ordinary life. "
  This was a conversation I had with my mother over and over again since I was 16. It wasn’t until I turned 30 that I truly accepted her answer. I realized that some "conversations" cannot be fully conveyed through language. Between questions and answers, it begins with curiosity, intertwined with life experiences and emotional attachments, triggering subtle resonance—only then does true communication become possible.
  This exhibition stems from my uncertainty as I approached 30.
  Looking at a photograph of that elegantly dressed young lady, I began to wonder—what led her to choose marriage, to carry me within her womb, and to give up the pursuit of herself? I wondered if my prejudice against my mother was, in fact, a generational bias. Was her generation of women inevitably drawn into the embrace of societal expectations? Could this conversation, reach a broader audience through exhibition?
  In 2023, Miss Bench started a project titled "Michelle Chen"—a fictional feminine name created by combining one character from my own name and one from my mom’s, paired with the most common surname in Taiwan. The result is a classic name that ranked third among the most popular women’s names of the 1950s–60s.

  The conversation starts with "listening". In the preliminary research stage of the exhibition, I interviewed eight women between the ages of 60 and 70 with different family environments, educational backgrounds, and marital statuses, and then constructed a collage of Michelle Chen's life and her experiences of major social events in Taiwan’s history; The curatorial statement was further shaped by novelist Brian Po-lun Kao’s short story Black Sparrow.

  This exhibition takes the novel as its skeleton and the artists as its flesh. By continuously engaging with the text and unraveling " Michelle Chen " layer by layer, I brought together a queer artist and eight female artists from different generations. Their roles span visual artists, children's painting instructor, documentary filmmakers, theater directors, and food designer. Through multiple perspectives and dimensions, their works collectively portray a generation of Taiwanese women born in the 1950s. " Michelle Chen " shifts between identities—textile factory worker, licensed prostitute, housewife, and painter— embodying the generational portrait of Taiwanese mothers.

  The curatorial footnotes in this exhibition present social archives, including oral histories, newspapers, short video reports, and a photo album documenting a woman's entire life. History, an unseen hand, directs everything. We are forced to flow following the wave, making the choices without a choice.

  Starting from “listening”, blending factual narratives with cross-generational imagina- tions, we hope to find a communicative language that bridges generational gaps.
