Tossing Stone - The Ripple between Lives 👀
The exhibition uses the metaphor of “skimming stones” to explore the intersections of art and philosophy. Through the visual language of points, lines, and planes, it responds to the constraints contemporary society imposes on happiness. By opening up the space of écart—the gap between flow and change—life and happiness are no longer seen as static goals, but as possibilities that can be loosened, rearranged, and reimagined.
Happiness, the exhibition suggests, should not be defined by external standards, but approached as a dynamic and adaptable process. Emerging from the tensions between culture and existence, it emphasizes dé-coïncidence—the un-aligning of fixed structures—as a strategy for disrupting habit and normativity. Through sensory shifts, fragmentation, and participatory practices, the artists open up what was once assumed stable: the boundaries of everyday life. Here, the “point” signals an origin, the “line” suggests movement, and the “plane” becomes a field of openness. Each throw of the stone becomes a soft yet persistent strike against the rigid surface of life.
𝑲𝒐𝒃𝒆 𝑲𝑶reassembles fleeting traces into visual images and memory fragments, tracing her transregional movements in a poetic collage of dislocation, belonging, and embodied memory. 𝑱𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒂𝒎 𝑯𝑶 transforms sound into visible landscapes, reinterpreting the agency of contemporary “painting” through the lens of sonic visualization. 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝑰𝑼 explores the interplay of nature and structure through the form of trees and scaffolding, reflecting mutual dependence and subtle support between architecture and environment. 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑳𝑨𝑴 offers parabolic reflections on multispecies coexistence, using allegory to open new readings of contemporary social structures.
Curated by 𝑱𝒂𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑪𝑯𝑬𝑼𝑵𝑮, this exhibition foregrounds displacement as both method and message. Through cracks, shifts, and acts of participation, the artworks reweave our relations with the world—inviting us to imagine futures of movement, connection, and redefined happiness. Each skimming action becomes a ripple across the waters of the self and society—a gentle, continuous re-linking between body, place, and world.

打水漂：生活的重構👀
朝向多樣性的未來，展覽以「打水漂」為隱喻，在藝術與哲學的交匯點上，透過「點、線、面」的視覺語彙回應當代社會對幸福的制約，打開流動與變動之間的「間距」（Écart），讓生活與幸福不再是靜態的目標，而是一種可被鬆動與重組的可能性。
展覽探討幸福不應是對外在標準的滿足，而是一種動態、可調適的過程。從文化與存在之間的張力出發，展覽強調「去－相合」作為回應僵化結構的方式，透過開啟「間距」，打破慣性與制式，創造感知與行動的新可能。藝術家們透過聲音、記憶、結構、移動與物種共存等不同題材，以裂縫、偏移、模糊與參與實踐的手法，打開原本被視為穩定的生活邊界。在這場流動中的對話中，「點」是起始、「線」是移動、「面」是開放的場域，每一次的拋擲都是一次對現有生活形式的敲擊。
𝑲𝒐𝒃𝒆 𝑲𝑶 高穎琳 將不可握住的尾跡以視覺圖像與記憶重組，將跨地域的移動紀錄對位置感、歸屬感與身體記憶進行追索與拼貼。𝑱𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒂𝒎 𝑯𝑶 何子洋 探索將聲音的可視化的聲景，重新演繹當代「繪畫」的能動性。𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝑰𝑼 蕭⽂衍 透過樹木姿態與棚架結構，表達自然與建築間的互動、依賴與支撐關係。𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑳𝑨𝑴 透過寓言故事隱含跨物種共存現象的觀察與思考，並對當代社會結構提出新的啟示。
策展人𝑱𝒂𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑪𝑯𝑬𝑼𝑵𝑮 張嘉敏 邀請觀者感知這些微小而深刻的「間距」，透過本展強調「移位」作為創作與思考的方法，以藝術中的裂縫、偏移與參與實踐，重新編織人類與世界的關係網，重新想像未來與幸福的可能樣貌，將藝術作為與世界重新連結的媒介 —— 讓每一次打水漂般的行動，成為重新連結世界與自我之間的微小波紋。
