Mind Set Art Center presents "Human and Landscape" for Art Taipei at booth E03. It highlights include works by 18 artists collaborating or associated with the gallery, exploring the human condition and the beauty of nature through painting and sculpture. The participating artists have all undergone a process of self-reflection, leading them to explore new possibilities for the expression of human and landscape in art. Their work offers a fresh interpretation of artistic form and language, creating a poetic landscape that is both romantic and vibrant. The interplay of "people," "objects," and "environment" in these works opens up new dialogues between reality and fiction, the everyday and the epic.

安卓藝術於2015年11月6日至11月8日於Artissima藝術博覽會展出瑪莉娜．克魯斯（Marina Cruz）最新創作，博覽會預展及開幕酒會於11月5日登場。 瑪莉娜．克魯斯的創作沿著家族留下的老屋、舊物與相片而開展，她以個人處於當代的美學視角，綿密地回溯家族記憶與歷史，經過重新詮釋與編織，擴張而成為一探討感情與記憶厚度的創作體系，並且映照著家鄉菲律賓作為亞洲的一部分，自上世紀以來交融了西方殖民、現代化與經濟起伏的社會史。她在22歲時於家族老屋中的發現了一批由外祖母為藝術家母親與阿姨縫製的舊衣裳，這些舊衣自此成為她一系列創作的主軸。這些衣裳大多製作於1950或1960年代，承載著家族三代女人的生命故事：由祖母為她的愛女們縫製，如今成為孫女藝術創作的靈感泉源。 克魯斯在她近幾年的藝術實作中開始創作並展示出包含了大量繪畫的作品，這些掛在牆上的繪畫皆以畫布油畫處理，經過挑選的雕塑和裝置作品也運用在她所創造的延伸敘述中。但是，她所擁有並持續創作的這種多元媒材，卻在另一項材料可見而不可觸的反覆現身中找到了軌跡—織品。在和織品的關係中，克魯斯強調在她創作過程中一種有效的雙層轉變：從平乏的到記錄的，再從記錄的到藝術的。它們從美學及功利主義的目的出發，如今像是聖物和傳家寶般保存下來，成為轉化過的藝術品。她記述著穿衣者生命中的重要事件，將衣物轉化為她創作探索中的宣言，也成為她長程藝術實作中的其中一段歷程。 2015年Artissima展出的近作中，克魯斯延續她對織品的探索，藝術家進一步帶入她曾經表現優異的抽象詮釋，以一種具像抽象畫手法表現這些舊衣物。她透過的聚焦、取景與描繪，解構了舊衣的樣態與質地，刻畫出形式與肌理的美感，仿佛逼視心靈的最深處，觸碰了洋裝所承載那無法避免的「穿著與磨損」，引領我們回視過往並思索歲月帶給我們的啟示。於是，逝去的時光被召喚，與此刻重疊而凝結，舊衣經由克魯斯的創作而開啟了新的個體生命，紛雜的記憶與歷史，已經被重新提煉為純淨的心靈風景。
