法國藝術家弗朗索瓦‧馬卡東受本館之邀,結合捷運空間氛圍,現地製作三幅長幅壁畫,以藝術家自畫像為主題,在〈地下實驗‧創意秀場〉展間及捷運中山地下街分別呈現。

展間中的壁畫作品,為放大尺寸的藝術家自畫像。巨大的形象,有如愛爾蘭作家強納森·史威夫特《格列佛遊記》中的主人翁,與捷運站內往來的民眾形成對比,形塑出現實空間之外的另一個時空幻境。畫面中的人物像在游泳,又像在嘗試逃脫既存的限制框架。人物身體比例因放大後而開始抽象,肩膀、手臂、手指等身體部位都成為一種抽象的形體,進而接近捷運的交通網絡,而非身體部位的呈現。

另兩幅在中山地下街的壁畫,則以藝術家的臉部表情為繪畫主題。表情各異的多種頭像佈滿整面牆面,像是狂熱地滾動著,呼應捷運站內蜂湧人潮的流動韻律。這些頭像帶著狡詰的笑容,惡作劇般地對著來往遊客做鬼臉。如同戴著面具般的臉孔,似乎在訴求思想與意見表達的自由,沒有框架及邊界。

展間對面的動畫作品,為法國藝術家艾蜜莉‧勒瑪特樂為本展英文展名Look and Feel Your Best所創作的動態文字。這句標語常用在健身或美體的廣告中,有如捷運站內眾多的牆面廣告之一,訴求著一個美好的身心靈狀態。然而觀眾對比其他壁畫作品後,將很快發現,以閃爍的黑白中空文字形塑的標語,描繪的是一個空虛而又充滿諷刺的現況。

《弗朗索瓦‧馬卡東的創作,構築出一個充滿偽裝的世界,優雅的表面下夾雜了甜美與苦楚。在過於甜膩的表面下,隱藏著令人不安的暗流。這些像是處在幻境中的圖像,預言般地創造出藝術家的個人神話,形塑出如夢般既甜美又殘酷的形象,像作品中的笑臉,永遠無從判斷是欣喜,還是挖苦…》- 法國藝評家孚羅里安‧蓋得, 2013



François Marcadon, invited by Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, presents three wall paintings specially designed for the subway of Taipei, using his self-portrait as a main theme.

The painting created in the MOCA studio alludes to the book Gulliver’s Travels written in 1721 by Jonathan Swift. The gigantic scale of the figure contrasts with the people evolving in the subway and the cropping of the subject gives the illusion of different space and temporality. Thus the spectator is invited to question the nature of the portrayed figure: does his position evoke a swimmer? A giant trying to escape from a cramped space? Is he good-natured or malevolent? The scale and the cropping end by changing the status of the self-portrait. The shoulders, arms, hands and fingers of the artist become networks of abstract forms that suggest a new configuration of the subway map rather than a portrayal of the human body.

On the other two walls of the Zhongshan station appear replicated images of the face of F. Marcadon, which seem to roll frenetically across the length of walls to echo the speed of the subway users. In spite of the strange condition of these faces devoid of body, they wear fixed, mischievous smiles or frowns that seem to confront the viewer. These mask-like images seem suggest the freedom of ideas developing without restraint.

The animated film Look and feel your best (2014), created in partnership with graphic designer Émilie Lemarteleur (born in 1979 in France, lives and works in Paris and Montreal) refers to the domains of sport and body representations, and to the images of the body conveyed by the mass media and advertising. At first, the requirement implied by the title seems to be quite appropriate for a subway station, in the midst of other advertisements. But this is ultimately deceptive: the film turns out to be a simple study in black and white, made of empty letters composing the words of the title.

《François Marcadon’s artistic world is the world of a trickster. Each of his apparently elegant, intentionally mannered works associates sweetness with bitterness, and reveals under its cloying surface a disturbing phantasmagorical undercurrent. These fantastical images (which seem to be in turn dreams, nightmares or allegories) deploy the personal mythology of the artist, offering up a vision both dreamy and cruel, much like his own omnipresent laughing face, about which we will never know if it is a sign of rejoicing or sarcasm.》- Florian Gaité, 2013
