"Dust” is the first exhibition of Luxury Logico in Taiwan, a new group of artistic creation. Founded by artists Lin Kun-Ying, Chen Chih-Chien, Chang Geng-Hau, and Chang Geng-Hua Luxury Logico is the merger of the former Logico and Chang Geng-Hau, Chang Geng-Hua, both are known for their different specialties in areas of new media art and visual art. Through this rebirth, they exchange their ideas, understand each other’s aesthetics and thoughts, work ethics, capability in executing their ideas, and even philosophy. It is not simply an exchange of thoughts and ideas, but a fusion of life in reality.

These artists haven’t had long careers in artistic creation—mostly less than 10 years. In their individual career, they’ve received much aid from others, and they are never negligent in doing the same for other artists. Hence, they’ve gained a lot of experiences in cooperating with people from various fields and with diverse perspectives, and gradually come to understand that any piece of art requires a union of minds and efforts of many people from the stage of conception to the end of realization. Therefore, they begin to explore further a more realistic way of cooperation and communication, trying to find out the unique philosophy and creative methods of this particular group.

Logico’s exhibition in 2009, “Germatrix,” looked at the merging of consciousness, metaphorizing them as germs. They combine, disrupt, reorganize, and disrupt again, constantly changing their forms, creating the “dust”—the collapsing that takes place during the process. In opposite to the concept of “Germatrix,” “Dust” examines the essence of existence. Whenever a decision is made and actively put into action, there is always something excluded in every step of the way.

The dust is the hint of merging. These subtle, excluded dusts pile up in an unobtrusive corner, seemingly meaningless, waiting motionlessly. Within a blink of an eye, a sudden wind blows the dust to settle in other places. The dusts are made of the excluded things of every progressive work. They might be materials, ideas, fantasies, possibilities. Comparing to what are kept, dusts could only passively float away. Until a certain impetus that brings them back into the attention, they no longer remain dusts but become the active components of the progress.

It is chances and coincidences that “Dust” becomes the theme of this exhibition at the IT PARK. The pieces of art are the dusts of a concept. The concept is the dust from Luxury Locigo, who are the dust of the IT PARK. IT PARK is the dust of contemporary art that is the dust of Art. And art itself is the dust of human imagination. The dusts that float in all directions will always wait and unexpectedly merge with the other/others.

The dusts, they fall on everything.
