2017大稻埕國際藝術節《女神我》 2017 TTTIFA 《Queen Me》

《女神我》將以一個 Party 的形式來作為表演模式，希望透過啟動對於觀光娛樂產業下身體樣貌與展示政治的討論，去逼視當代社會中最為赤裸地面對全球資本主義系統的身體政治議題。透過這些正在第一線上參與娛樂產業的藝術家們的獨特身體實踐經驗，來思考各種跨越文化、傳統、性別、身體符號的方案,如何在超量的數碼媒體資訊沖刷中，依舊維持其獨一性、不可被複製的樣貌來讓我們在那慾望已死的消費邊界下思考生命與存在的意義。 

畢業於國立臺北藝術大學美術學院美術系及美術創作碩士班。作品主題圍繞在人身體的變形及活動,以及在這個充斥著各種影像及媒體的世界中,關於身分的問題。2008 年參加第六屆台北雙年展並獲台北美術獎首獎,2009 年代表台灣參加第五十三屆威尼斯雙年展台灣館。 

余政達近期作品《Practicing LIVE》(2014) 受邀 2014 年第十屆上海雙年展及 2015 年第五十六屆柏林國際影展「Forum Expanded」單元。 
2016 年作品於韓國光州市立美術館及巴黎龐畢度藝術中心展出。

"Audiences at “Queen Me” will feel like they're at a party, but there is a serious undercurrent to this performance. The artists hope to launch a discussion regarding the body and the politics of display in 
the tourism and entertainment industry, and compel us to view these issues in the context of modern society under a global capitalist system. The guest performers, who all work professionally as entertainers, will draw from personal experience to create unique expressions through movement. In looking at the intersection of culture, tradition, gender and body symbols, the performance encourages us to ask: In an age overwhelmed by digital media, how do we maintain a sense of uniqueness as we ponder life and the meaning of existence?
