特別放映《水乳交融》~~ 這個很色的嘍 ^^



大家好,我們遊牧影展突然有個比較特別的機會,這個星期六晚上8點能給大家播放一部由美國藝術家 Lawrence Weiner 拍的22分鐘短片電影《水乳交融》 (Water in Milk Exists),影片製作人平川典俊會在現場談談影片內容與自己的攝影創作。美國的重要藝術雜誌 Art Forum 如此評論《水乳交融》:「這部非敘述性A片充滿一群20幾歲者彼此操,吮,弄,手淫等行為,全部發生在紐約瑞士當代藝術研究院的Soho區空間與唐人街的攝影棚裡。在影片裡,激起性慾望的色情場面以及關於 "各人對現實的定義” 和 “弦理論” 的冗長而勉強的哲學想法一直交替,就像導演一直在玩一個讓我們感到激動的開關,性慾望的引起又開了又關了。」(閱讀原文)這麼說呢,大家大概已經明白,如果A片、gay片、手淫、口交會冒犯到你,那這場放映會就不是你的菜。影片會有中文字幕 (現在正很趕地做),放映前後也有中文的解釋。

若你沒聽過平川典俊,他來自日本,住在紐約,是一位國際藝術圈子裡有知名度的藝術家,最有 ~~嗯,或許可以說他具有 “名氣” 的攝影系列是由典俊要求很多女生是否可以借用她們的相機來拍她們的裙底風光而創作出來。這次的活動在非常廟藝文空間舉行,為呼應Chi-Wen 畫廊於9月12日舉辦的平川典俊個展 UNFOLD UNIVERSE,展覽於當日下午 3-6點開幕。放映會沒有入場費,但觀眾至少消費一杯飲料。總的來說這是瞭解古怪的平川典俊談論他的藝術,以及他如何遊走在情色邊緣的難得機會。

Water In Milk Exists: 9/12 @ VT Art Salon



Hi everybody. We quite suddenly were presented with the opportunity to show you something rather weird, a 22-minute film by American artist Lawrence Weiner called WATER IN MILK EXISTS. It happens this Saturday at 8pm, and the film's producer Noritoshi Hirakawa will be there to talk about both the film and his own work. Noritoshi is an interesting character, an internationally known art photographer who is famous for taking pictures of women's underwear. The screenign will take place at VT Art Salon, and admission only requires that you buy one drink.

But before you come, we should probably mention that if you are easily offended by porn, gay porn, blow jobs, or abstruse philosophy, this just might not be for you. Here is how one of the world's top art magazines Art Forum reviewed the film: "
This nonnarrative porn is full of twenty-somethings fucking, sucking, playing, and masturbating in the Swiss Institute’s SoHo loft and a Chinatown photo studio. Scenes alternate between often-thrilling hardcore porn and contrived and tedious philosophical musings about 'personal definitions of reality' and 'string theory.' Like a switch flicked too soon, stimulation teasingly turns on and off." (Read the entire review.) Also, the film is in English with Chinese subtitles. Discussions and an introduction to the film will be bilingual in English and Chinese.

This screening of Water in Milk Exists will be held in conjunction with Noritoshi's exhibition UNFOLD UNIVERSE at Chi-Wen Gallery, which opens earlier the same day from 3-6pm. This is a rare chance to hear the often outlandish Noritoshi discuss his art and its relation to pornography.
