再建構：Ajim Juxta ＆Helí García雙個展

「再建構：Ajim Juxta ＆ Helí García雙個展」，為2017好思當代藝術家駐地創作展覽系列之一，也是一個遊走北中南三個城市，讓國外藝術家充分與台灣的風土人文及民眾交流互動的藝術巡迴展。本展緊接著二月在「好思當代-台北館」首展的圓滿閉幕，訂於三月下旬在「好思當代-嘉義館」重新開幕，並安排於三月中旬在駐留地「好思當代-新竹館」辦理開放工作室，並於年底辦理期終展覽活動。特別的是，在這巡迴旅程中，每次展出的內容並非固定一致，而會針對三地藝術空間不同的地緣特色和人文訴求，進行有機的調整和變化。

本展的兩位駐地創作藝術家，分別是來自馬來西亞的Ajim Juxta及來自西班牙的Helí García。本次雙個展的對話主題為「再建構」，是有鑑於兩位藝術家之作品雖各有不同的內容觀照和創作風格，但都針對特定傳統價值觀、體制建構或社會理想，表達了一種質疑的態度或解構、反思、乃至於再建構的觀點。事實上，這也是全球當代藝術界不斷探討和呈現的一個焦點課題。

這兩位素昧平生的藝術家，透過好思當代的駐村創作機制，展開了在台灣生活起居的互動和同步雙個展的藝術觀摩及美學對話，此一機制，不僅啟動了兩位藝術家個體的精神碰撞，實際也促成了台灣、西班牙、馬來西亞三個不同國度的文化邂逅。
