Hsu Yi-Ting - Getting Closer

許懿婷《在靠近的過程》

Gladys Lin Projects Space 榮幸地宣佈將於 5 月 7 日推出《在靠近的過程-許懿婷個展》。本檔展覽聚焦藝術家自 2018 年以來累積的繪畫創作，為藝術家首檔正式發表繪畫作品的個展，創作據點經歷福岡、布拉格到台北。此展也作為本項目空間於後疫情下再啟動的一個序幕。

繪畫之於許懿婷有流於日常的必要性，亦近似札記式的生活書寫，記錄其內在感知到的環境、物質和情緒流動軌跡，曾關注過許懿婷行為表演的藝術愛好者不免思索這些畫作和藝術家過往一場場行為演出的連結，是否透過畫筆得以複印出其行為過程和內在活動，如藝術家本人道：「在記載移動過程中不斷靠近行動核心的過程。」那麼，觀者又得以靠近了什麼？我們作為旁觀者可以探知到行動者哪一類型的行動核心？

Gladys Lin Projects Space is proud to announce the launch of Getting Closer - Hsu Yiting Solo Exhibition on May 7. This exhibition gathers paintings the artist created since 2018. It marks the first solo exhibition by the artist only displaying paintings, including both works on paper and canvas. These paintings were created across a variety of locations, from Fukuoka to Prague to Taipei. The exhibition also serves as a prelude to the post-pandemic re-launch of the project space.

For Hsu Yiting, painting has become a daily routine, similar to her narrative of life in the journal, as she documents the flow of the environment, materials, and emotions she perceives. The viewers who have been following Hsu’s performances cannot help but wonder how these paintings connect to her past performances, and whether the action processes and inward activities behind them can be properly reproduced through a brush. For example, the artist herself said: "The core action is continuously approached in the process of recording the movement." Then, what can viewers approach? As spectators, what type of core action can we detect in the actors?
