八五星星藝術空間(Star 85 Art Space)在台北是一家剛剛成立的畫廊，專門致力於中國當代藝術的推廣。我們將於2006年9月30日舉行開幕展，展覽的主題是“process & expression”， 這是一個觀念攝影的展覽。其中比較有意義的是這次展覽不僅有靜態的圖像展示，亦有Video的現場動態互動，藝術家的表演過程、到作品的最終呈現聚集一堂。參展的四位藝術家馬六明、王慶松、繆曉春、伊德爾，都是當代觀念攝影中非常重要、有影響的藝術家。“觀念攝影”相對於原本意義上的攝影本身在於它的藝術語言的當代性。攝影在當代藝術中的使用，還結合了表演、塗繪、電腦處理、利用時尚攝影圖片等手段，因此，觀念攝影一詞，已經不再是傳統意義上的紀錄、圖片展示，而是將與攝影有關的從材料、媒介到概念的一切元素的利用。它是一種“逼真的”實際上“虛構的”表現藝術，這也是我們本次策展的主題思想，即表現藝術在中國語境裏、在中國觀念攝影中的呈現。
“他者”（the other）的概念首先是由西方人提出來的，和“自我”（Self）是一對相對的概念，在這個哲學術語中更多的是現代意義上的一種暗喻、隱喻。在四位元藝術家的作品中，我們不約而同的會看到這麼一個“他者”：即在每個藝術家的作品中，都會看到藝術家本人（藝術家稱為“他”）的形象，這個形象被藝術家以各種方式呈現，在這兒，藝術家的身份是多重的，他既是導演又是演員，他既在審視“他人”，又在被“他人”審視，形成某種視角上的堆疊，這就是說，自我是他者，而對他者的思考同時也是對自己的反思。
從作品視角來觀察，他們展現出來的不僅僅是圖像的修辭，從更深的層次更是現代人對當代文化、自身身份、當代社會價值觀的思想觀察和反思。
觀念是美好的、殘酷的，在攝影的載體中，在過程中，在表現中-process & expression前進！
Star 85 Art Space is a newly established gallery in Taipei dedicating to the promotion of Chinese Contemporary Art. An opening exhibition of post-Photography, “Process & Expression,” will be held on September 30, 2006, to display not only static images but also presentations of video live interaction, the artists' creative processes, as well as the final works of art.
The four participating artists, Ma Liuming, Wang Qing-song, Miao Xiaochun and Yi Deer, are extremely key and influential artists in the field of post-photography. Compared with the original form of photography, post-Photography carries a contemporary nature in its art language. Adopting techniques such as performing arts, painting, computer processing and modern photographic images, post-photography no longer exists in the traditional sense of image recording; instead it utilizes all photography-related elements, from materials, mediums to concepts. It is a realistic but virtual art form, and this is also the central theme of this exhibition--the idea of expressing performance art in the Chinese context and in Chinese post-Photography.
First proposed by the West, "the Other" is a concept opposed to "the Self", and it extends beyond its philosophical origin to be used as a metaphor in the modern sense. Coincidentally in the works of all four artists, we see such an "Other," meaning that we see the images of the artists (known as "the Other") presented by the artists themselves in various ways. Here the artist assumes multiple roles, both as a director and an actor, watching and being watched at the same time, forming a superposition from certain visual angle. In other words, "the Self" is also "the Other," and one's views on the others are also reflections of oneself.
When examined as art, their works reveal not only the rhetoric of the images, but also a modern man's observations and reflections of the contemporary culture, self identity and the ideological values of the modern society.
The concept is beautiful yet brutal, portrayed in the photographic form--in Process & Expression.
