In art creation, artists always have different practical standpoints, it will not entirely coincident if simply to say artists show their views with works or create their products through their ideas. During the procedure of creating works, or surrounding with multielement and complicated materials, the production has a ‘multiple halo’ space in moving in cycles, herein ‘multiple halo’ doesn’t only mean the halo described in natural phenomenon, but more focus on the multi-dimensional that production expresses and the manner it appears, and its character to expand.
The exhibition of ‘multiple halo’, is to discuss the productions characters could show in different standpoints, like indistinct space, time ,substance and virtual shadow depicted in daily normal life, and spread the diversified thinking among artists and audience, how the audience know relationship of construction with works its self besides understanding the meaning of the art production ? Or in other side, the relationship is spread when the audience is thinking the value of works, meanwhile in some degree, artist become portion of the works on the moment it is finished.
By the manner of exhibition, ‘Multiple halo’ explores the indistinct space, time, substance with the artists’ different standpoints and the virtual shadow depicted in daily normal life, meanwhile，it also presents the audience multiple explanations and attracts them to find more opportunities to expand, just as the conceptual artist Michael Craig-Martin described a cup of water into an oak tree, how will you think about it, that’s probably why we have this exhibition to present and explore the theme of ‘multiple halo’, as what we just mentioned ‘beginning emerges slowly only when the ending is finished’.
