展覽地點 Venue: 臺北市立美術館

臺北市立美術館於2014年1月為國際當代藝術家徐冰主辦亞洲地區首度大型個展「徐冰：回顧展」，並邀請台灣資深策展人暨藝評學者王嘉驥策展。徐冰1955年生於重慶，1981年畢業於中央美術學院版畫系。1990年接受美國威斯康辛大學邀請，以榮譽藝術家身份移居美國，長期活躍歐美，是國際藝壇極為重視的當代華人藝術家。2007年起擔任北京中央美術學院副院長、教授。自1975年創作至今近40年，1991年在美國展出《天書》及《鬼打牆》，是其奠定藝術成就與地位的關鍵之作。他將東方的哲學思維方式及文化導入當代藝術創作中，作品對文字語言等溝通工具、藝術與文明的本質問題、不同物種與文化間的類似與衝突等進行批判性思考。從傳統木刻到裝置藝術、無法辨認的方塊字到文盲皆可識的標誌符號，寫生風景到研究漢字的性格的文字語言與符號學，作品包括版畫、紙上作品、行為藝術、大型裝置計畫等，類型深廣且多元，本展將展出從早期至今的重要作品計畫、新作與大型現地製作。

In January 2014 Taipei Fine Arts Museum presents Xu Bing: A Retrospective, Asia's first large-scale solo exhibition of international contemporary artist Xu Bing, curated by senior curator and art critic Chia Chi Jason Wang. Xu Bing has been actively pursuing art for four decades, from 1975 to today. In 1991 he exhibited A Book from the Sky and Ghosts Pounding the Wall at the Elvehjem Museum of Art on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, a key event that laid the foundation for his artistic accomplishments and status. He infuses his contemporary art with Eastern philosophy and culture. His works engage in critical thinking about the written word and other tools of communication, the nature of art and civilization, and similarities and conflicts among different species and cultures. His works span such forms as print, paper, performance art and large-scale installations. From traditional wood carving to installation art, from incomprehensible block lettering to using animals as media, from his "Landscript" realistic landscape paintings to examinations of the textual language and symbolism of Chinese characters, his artworks possess great breadth, depth and diversity. Presented on the ground floor of Taipei Fine Arts Museum, this exhibition features including major art pieces from his early period to the present day, new works and large-scale site-specific installations.
