女性的超越:小我到大我與自我
女性的超越:小我到大我與自我
Women’s Transcendence:From Small Self to Big Self + MySelf
藝術家|李澤藩、吳瑪悧、安聖惠、郭俞平
展期|2021.08.10-2021.12.26
地點|台北市中正區延平南路5號
本次特展的⽬的在於⽤藝術作品的集合來呈現女性自我超越的歷程。
過去很長⼀段時間(19世紀中期之前,或者說是「女性意識無知期」),女性的⽣活範疇是以家庭或宗族為主。生活於這段時期的女性,認同社會階級與倫理地位的差異,對⾃我的⽬標,是由當時社會⽂化對女性社會⾓⾊的要求與期許所決定的,例如⼀位溫柔的妻⼦、⼀位賢慧的⺟親、⼀位乖巧的女兒…。其⾃我意識與認同,是由外部⼒量內在化⽽形成,並且侷限在以家為主的私領域,我們歸類為「⼩我」(small self)的實現。
當女性意識覺醒,經過近百年的社會運動與思潮發展,女性得以跨出以家庭或宗族為範疇的⼩我實現,她們有意識地介入社會,⾃由地參與各種領域與層次的社會活動,踏入我們稱之為“⼤我(big self)”的實現範圍。女性的社會⾓⾊及⾏動空間前所未有地擴展開來,她們關⼼環境,甚⾄發展超越性別、⽂化、族群的計畫,將影響⼒盡可能地發散到最⼤;她們也追求個⼈⽣命的解答,將社會當作媒介,試圖以更宏觀的視野凝視⾃⾝的⽣命經驗,帶著批判性的⾓度,挑戰既定的社會⽂化框架, 提出並試圖解決社會問題。
這個「從⼩我到⼤我」的實現轉變,其實就是⼀個不斷⾃我超越的歷程。女性的⾃我認同不再是由外到內的植入,⽽是由內到外的覺醒、思考及主動性選擇,選擇追求更⾼層次的精神上的⾃我,所謂真正的⾃我 (true self, Rogers, 1951) 。
因此,在這次的特展中,我們選了李澤藩、吳瑪悧、安聖惠、郭俞平,四位台灣本⼟、具有象徵性意義的藝術家及其作品來展開這個議題的思考。

Women’s Transcendence:From Small Self to Big Self + MySelf

Venue|Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Fine Arts
In this special exhibition, we intend to present the transcending journey of women’s sense of self through a collection of the representative artworks.
For a very long time in the past (before the 19th century, or we could refer to as “the ignorant period of women’s self-awareness”), women’s living territory had been mainly family or clan-oriented. Women who lived during this period often fully accepted the differences between social ranks and moral positions, and their sense of self was largely determined by the requirements and expectations toward female social roles in contemporary society and cultures. For instance, a gentle and tender wife, a virtuous mother, a well-behaved daughter…. Their self recognition and identities were formed and shaped by the internalization of outer forces and very often women were constrained in the private sphere of the household. We categorized it as the realization of the “small self”.
Upon the awakening of female consciousness, through nearly a century of development of social movements and ideological trends, women finally entitle to walk out of the small-self realization in the scope of family or clan. They consciously involve with society and freely participate in social events in all kinds of fields and levels. By doing so, women step into the fulfillment of “big self,” as we refer to it. Women’s social roles and action space reach out to an unprecedented expansion. They care about environments and even come out projects working cross over genders, cultures, and ethnic groups to optimize influence divergence; they also seek answers for personal life and tend to view their own life experiences in a macro-vision with the society as a medium. They challenge the existed social and cultural scheme with critical viewpoints and propose possible solutions to resolve social problems.
In fact, the process of transforming from “small self” to “big self” can be considered as a process of consecutively self transcendence. Women’s self recognition and identity is no longer outer implantation, but rather an internal awakening, thinking, and taking the initiative. They choose to persuade the spiritual self in higher level, which is the so-called “true self” (Rogers, 1951). Therefore, in this special exhibition, we select four Taiwanese artists: Lee Tzu-Fang, Wu Ma-Li, Eleng Luluan, Kuo Yu-Ping and their artworks which represent significant symbolic meanings to initiate further thinking of this topic.
