李受俓（Yeesookyung，1963-)，是活躍於國際當代藝壇的韓國女藝術家。出生於首爾，自首爾國立大學美術學院畢業至今，藝術實踐卓然有成，尤其是以 現成物（Ready-Made）做為敍事和表現這個面向，她擅長媒材本身和延伸語意的運用，歷年作品含納了雕塑、繪畫、錄像、裝置等，以此詮釋她對全球化趨勢之下，文化主體性的思維和觀照。 1992年，李受俓首次個展於首爾與東京，因獨特的藝術語彙引人注目，而開啟了參與國際藝術大展的門徑，代表性的如：英國Liverpool biennale, Fantasy studio, A foundation, Liverpool, UK利物浦雙年展、波蘭波茲南雙年展Meditation Biennale Poznan 2008, Poznan, Poland、法國聖埃蒂安文化中心–【微型敘事】聯展、舊金山現代藝術博物館【陶瓷二重性】聯展、巴西聖保羅藝術博物館【多元型譜】聯展、日本Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial, Echigo-Tsumari, Japan越後妻有藝術三年展等，而台灣2014 年國美館的亞洲雙年展，以及台北當代藝術館的【K-P.O.P韓國當代藝術展】，李受俓也都在受邀之列。此外，其歷年創作的收藏單位也包括了：韓國果川國立現代美術館、首爾錦湖美術館、香港M +博物館、日本福岡亞洲美術館、美國波士頓當代美術館、洛杉磯縣立美術館、美國斯賓塞博物館、英國布里斯托爾博物館等。 「當我變成你」為李受俓今春在韓國大邱美術館，緊接著在台北當代藝術館舉行個展的主題；本展試圖透過一種對語式的手法，呈現由主體變成客體的轉換過程。在這「對話•衍化」的過程中，藝術家重新開啟了「東方與西方」、「傳統與現代」、「意識與潛意識」等二元對照的議題，但旨在探討和印證—當代文化現象對歷史傳統的映射，並非完全「相剋」而是可以「相生」的。本次展出，除了聚焦關注主客雙方的美學「轉移」，也進一步擴充到從當代回視傳統，自傳統中衍繹新意的幾個面向。 在創作實踐上，從李受俓之前橋接傳統與現代的〈轉譯瓷瓶〉系列，詮釋東方與西方遇合的〈島嶼探索〉影像裝置，挖掘潛意識能量的〈日常繪畫〉系列，到此次台北個展的全新創作，包括：1.明華園戲劇總團青年軍李郁真合作的〈當我變成你〉，2.以台灣已故畫家劉其偉為楷模的〈向大師學習〉，3.以台灣社會大眾為對話基礎的〈完美雕像〉等，即都是「對話→轉移→衍化→創新」這個藝術觀念和創作實踐的多樣成果。 Yeesookyung (1963-) is a Korean artist active on the international contemporary art scene. Born in Seoul, the accomplished artist graduated from Seoul National University’s College of Fine Arts. She is especially good at using Ready-Mades in her narratives and cleverly employs different media and their various significances in her work. Her past work has dealt with her reflections on cultural identity under globalization through sculpture, painting, video, and installation art. Since her first solo show in Seoul and Tokyo in 1992, Yeesookyung has garnered attention with her unique artistic language, which won her ticket to prestigious international art shows. Some notable group exhibitions in which her work has appeared include the Liverpool Biennale (Liverpool, UK), the Mediations Biennale (Poznan, Poland), Fragile-Fields of Empathy (Museum of Modern Art of Saint Etienne,Saint Etienne, France), Dual Natures in Ceramics (SFO Museum,San Francisco, USA), The Diverse Spectrum: 600 Years of Korean Ceramics (Museum of Art, Sao Paulo, Brazil), and the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial (Echigo-Tsumari, Japan). She was also among the artists invited to exhibit in the Asian Art Biennale in 2014 organized by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (Taichung, Taiwan) and the K-P.O.P.─Korean Contemporary Art at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Taipei, Taiwan).Her works can be found in the collections of the following institutions: National Museum of Contemporary Art (Gwacheon, Korea), Kumho Museum of Art (Seoul, Korea), M+ Museum (Hong Kong), Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (Fukuoka, Japan), Boston Museum of Contemporary Art (Boston, USA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Los Angeles, USA), Spencer Museum of Art (Lawrence, USA), and Bristol Museum (Bristol, UK), among others. The current exhibition When I Become You was hosted at the Daegu Museum, Korea, before arriving at MoCA, Taipei. Presented in the form of a dialogue, the show showcases the transformation from subject to object. In the process of “dialogue and transformation,” the artist revisits the duality of “East and West,” “Tradition and Modernity,” “Consciousness and Subconsciousness,” and hopes to explore and confirm how contemporary culture and historical traditions are not mutually exclusive but can in fact coexist. This show focuses on the transformation from subject and object, and also reflects upon tradition from a contemporary viewpoint while deriving new meanings from tradition. Yeesookyung strives to create works that embody the artistic principle where art germinates first from dialogue, is then removed from its original context, is further transformed, and results in an innovative form. Translated Vase Series, which bridges the traditional and the contemporary; Island Adventure, a video installation that comments on the encounter between East and West; Daily Drawing Series, which uncovers the power of the subconscious; Her new works for the MoCA,Taipei include When I Become You, a collaborative piece with Ming Hwa Yuan Taiwanese opera actors; Learning from the Masters, in which she hails the late Taiwanese artist Max Liu (1912-2002) as her model; and The Very Best Statue, an assemblage of images of religious figures based on surveys of local audiences in Taiwan.
