"...日夜..." - 謝諾麟作品展覽 (2006-2009)場刊 - 藝術由沈悶開始 - 2010 - 鄧凝姿

藝術由沈悶開始 / 鄧凝姿博士

我所認識的謝諾麟,無論作息與行事,都是十分有規律的;到了要尋找創作方向的時候,這種能影響生活的既重複又可能是無趣的狀態,立即成為謝氏要探求的藝術內容。

當代社會的分工和管理方式,把人手分配在不同的崗位內,按照不同的時間去進行不同的工作;而社會的建設也採取同樣的分流措施,把人民引導到既定的設施內,根據有秩序和有系統的原則,解決社會流動的需要。當然,每個人也有個人的生理時鐘,這其實也是一種規律,然而跟社會規律的不同處,是內在的進程或條件制約的分別。內在的進程是自然而生而條件制約是外加於內的,就如每天早上起來的時間,由於有事務的限時,因此也就需要一個時鐘,去確保完成期限的工作。其他事情,如樓梯的設計,人透過有秩序的梯級,按級數而上,達到有效用的生活方式,這看來並沒有太多外在的強制情況,但每個人仍然是被安排在一個格式內,按照既定的規律把一些事務完滿地完成。

謝諾麟的創作,由感受開始,透過影像的重複表現、或物件的象徵性比喻,特別是在作品內所看到的時鐘和樓梯,就代表了日常生活中的那種近乎不自覺的生活形態,期望跟身邊的人一起來個大反省。謝氏的作品探索生活與藝術動力的交換點,企圖在藝術中找到日常生活的重要方向;也希望在生活的經驗中找出藝術的關注點。

Art starts by boredom / Dr. TANG Ying-chi

TSE Lok Lun Laurence, as I know, follows a strict order whenever he is at work or at rest. When he seeks for the direction of creation, this redundant and probably boring condition of life immediately becomes the artistic content which Tse wants to explore.

The mode of administration and division of labor in contemporary society assigns manpower in different posts, and has them carry out different tasks according to different schedules. The infrastructure in a society also takes similar divergent measure, guides people to the facility which decides according to order and systematic principle, to fulfill the need of social mobility. Certainly, each person also has his or her own personal biological clock; actually, this is also a kind of rule. However, the difference between personal rule and social order is that the former is intrinsic advancement, while the latter is the conditional constraint. The intrinsic advancement is natural, but the conditional constraint is external, like the time you get up every morning; due to the time limit of business, one needs a clock to guarantee that work is finished within a certain period of time. Other matters like staircase design, people go up step by step by the orderly stave, to achieve an effective lifestyle. There seems to be not too many external compulsion situations, but each person is still required to conform to certain formats, so as to complete certain business in perfect order according to rules.

The work of Laurence Tse, starts by his feeling, by the repetition of images or symbolic analogy of objects, especially clocks and staircases we see in his work, represents that kind of unconscious life pattern, expects to arouse viewers’introspection. Tse's work explores the delivery point of life and artistic power, and attempts to find the important direction of daily life, also to discover his artistic concern from life experience.
