Billboard: Duffy Square (7th ave) between 47th and 46th street, NYC

一方面從事20年的公共藝術歷練後，對於創作有一些自己的嚮往﹔另一方面也因為疫情帶來的反思契機，祈願朝向本我的探究過程，能成為最真實懇切的創作。因此，近年來專注於追求自己的雕塑創作。而與此同時，也透過積極參與國內外的藝術競獎，來尋求作品完成度上客觀、多元文化背景的即時反饋。此外，在執行投件測試的往返間，也從學習應對的過程中，一併進行梳理當代藝術環境、市場機制與自己創作的關聯。

疫情後的這3年，國際間陸續出現許多線上營運的藝廊及平台，提供許多過去不曾有過的國際線上競獎及數位媒體露出的機會。通常作品若能進入決選，就可在線上平台上展覽並獲得推播的機會。此外，還能透過藝術家個人的網站連結，在平台上取得與國際聯繫或合作機會。

例如 HMVC Gallery New York 這家位於紐約的線上藝廊平台，2月的競獎主題是”Current Mood”，我的作品”Harmony” 有獲得決選資格(Finalist)。除了作品能在虛擬藝廊裡的聯展1個月外，作品的圖片還能出現在時代廣場上的看板，雖然只有幾秒鐘，但是每小時巡迴持續1個月。非常特別的經驗，學生時代待過的紐約，遠在地球的彼端，但現在自己的作品正出現在那個記憶中令人熱血沸騰的Times Square!

On the one hand, after 20 years of experience in public art, I have some aspirations for creation; on the other hand, because of the opportunity for reflection brought by the epidemic, I hope that the process of exploring myself can become the most authentic and sincere creation. Therefore, in recent years, I focused on pursuing my own sculpture creation. At the same time, I also actively participate in art competitions to seek immediate feedback on the completion of my works from an objective and multi-cultural background. In addition, during the round trip of the submission test, I also sorted out the relationship between the contemporary art environment, market mechanism and my own creation through the process of learning and coping.

In the past three years since the epidemic, many online art galleries and platforms have emerged internationally, providing many opportunities for international online prize competitions and digital media exposure that were unprecedented in the past. Usually, if the work can enter the final selection, it can be exhibited on the online platform and get the opportunity to be promoted. In addition, you can also obtain international connections or cooperation opportunities on the platform through the artist’s personal website link.

For example, HMVC Gallery New York, an online art gallery platform based in New York, had a competition theme of “Current Mood” in February, and my work “Harmony” qualified as a finalist. In addition to the joint exhibition of the works in the virtual gallery for one month, the pictures of the works can also appear on the billboard in Times Square. Although it is only for a few seconds, the tour lasts every hour for one month. It’s a very special experience. The New York I lived in when I was a student is far away on the other side of the world, but now my work is appearing in Times Square, which is so exciting in my memory!
