The Flowing Feast : An Exhibition by Llunc Lin and Chih-chien Chen
by Galerie Grand Siecle Location: Galerie Grand Siecle
Artist(s): Llunc LIN, CHEN Chih Chien
Date: 2 Oct - 8 Nov 2009
The term “flowing feast,” translated from a traditional Taiwanese open-air banquet on the road, captures the scene where guests walking in-and-out and dishes passed up-and-down. Adopting such an organic feasting style, the flowing feast stimulates the interaction among the guests and extracts a collective existence in the banquet.
Chen Chih-Chien and Llunc Lin, the winners of Taipei Art Prize in 2006 (Chen) and 2008 (Lin), put on their first duet exhibition at Galerie Grand Siecle. Named as “The Flowing Feast,” the artists borrow the three main concepts: “flow,” “liquidity,” and “feast,” – which together represent an intersectional perspective among collective awareness, materialistic perception, and spiritual sensation. The exhibiting artworks <Flowing Pride> and <Seaing> thus describe a Utopian life from a global citizen’s perspective. Through the fluidity of the representative images and their prophesy-like installations, these two young artists sincerely invite viewers to be our guests in “The Flowing Feast.”
