2026年是第61屆「威尼斯國際藝術雙年展 La Biennale d’arte di Venezia 」每兩年一度國際當代藝術界公認最具份量的展覽舞台，然而，它從不只是一場純粹的藝術盛宴。國際關係、政治角力、資本介入和身份認同之間的拉扯，早已是這個百年展覽無法迴避的狀態。而這一屆，從籌備階段就注定不平靜。
2026 marks the 61st edition of La Biennale d’arte di Venezia — the Venice International Art Biennale — widely regarded as the most significant stage in contemporary art, returning every two years to place the world’s creative pulse under a single roof. Yet it has never been simply about art. International relations, political tensions, the weight of capital, and the ongoing negotiation of identity have long been woven into the fabric of this century-old institution. And this edition, from the very first steps of its preparation, was never going to be quiet.
▍一場策展人離世所留下的遺願展覽An Exhibition Built on the Vision of a Curator Who Never Saw It Open
本屆總策展人為來自喀麥隆的策展人 Koyo Kouoh，她以「小調 In Minor Keys」作為本屆主題，試圖以一種更幽微、更貼近人體感官與個體記憶的視角，重新叩問當代藝術在這個動盪世界中的存在意義。然而，Kouoh 於 2025 年 5 月因癌症驟逝，在她還來不及親眼目睹展覽開幕的情況下，這場展覽由她親自召集的五人策展顧問團隊接手完成，忠實呈現她生前所擘畫的完整藍圖。
在某種意義上，「小調」這個主題，在她離開之後，更多了一層更難以言說的重量。
Koyo Kouoh, the Cameroonian curator behind this edition’s theme In Minor Keys, envisioned an exhibition attuned to the sensory, the intimate, and the personal — a quieter register against a turbulent world. She passed away from cancer in May 2025, before the exhibition opened. A team of five curatorial advisers carried her vision forward. In a way, In Minor Keys carries an entirely different weight now that she is gone.
Traditionally, the Venice Biennale awards two Golden Lions — one for the best national pavilion and one for the best artist in the central exhibition — along with the Silver Lion and a Lifetime Achievement award, recognized as some of the highest honors in contemporary art and it is usually announced before the public opening.
In 2026, however, the fate of the Golden Lion was sealed before the Biennale even opened. The jury announced it would exclude countries whose leaders faced charges at the International Criminal Court — namely Israel and Russia. The Biennale’s organizers refused to accept this. On April 30, the jury collectively resigned.
▍金獅讓位，「 觀眾票選獅 」登場——藝術界的民主實驗還是政治妥協？Enter the “Visitor Lion” — Democratic Experiment or Political Compromise?
After the jury’s resignation, organizers scrapped the Golden and Silver Lions entirely, replacing them with Visitor Lions— open to any ticket holder who visited both Giardini and Arsenale. Results will be announced at the closing on November 22. Israel and Russia were reinstated as eligible participants.
The backlash was immediate: 81 artists from the central exhibition and representatives from 16 national pavilions withdrew from the competition in solidarity with the resigned jury. As art historian Antonia Majaca wrote on e-flux: “The result: a mass vote in which no one bears responsibility for the outcome.”
Controversy has always been part of art. When an exhibition can simultaneously ignite debates about politics, ethics, aesthetics, and public opinion, it has already accomplished something essential — it has made silence impossible. To walk through the Giardini and the Arsenale today is not only to see works on walls. It is to witness something happening in real time.
台北市中正高中舞蹈班再度受邀挑戰國際舞台，參與2025佛羅倫斯舞蹈藝術節展現臺灣青春優雅魅力 La classe di danza del Liceo Zhong-zheng di Taipei è stata nuovamente invitata a sfidare il palcoscenico internazionale, partecipando al Florence Dance Festival 2025 per mostrare l’eleganza e la giovinezza di Taiwan.

臺北市立中正高中舞蹈班連續受邀，挑戰國際舞台，今年再度亮相義大利佛羅倫斯舞蹈藝術節（Florence Dance Festival, FDF），以動人肢體語彙綻放臺灣學生的青春光芒與優美身段，受歐洲觀眾熱烈掌聲肯定。 La classe di danza del Liceo Municipale Zhongzheng di Taipei è stata invitata ancora una volta a sfidare il palcoscenico internazionale, partecipando quest’anno al Florence Dance Festival (FDF) in Italia, esprimendo con gesti vibranti e raffinati tutta la luce e la bellezza della gioventù taiwanese, ottenendo calorosi consensi dal pubblico europeo.
成立超過35年的佛羅倫斯舞蹈藝術節，是義大利最具盛名且歷史悠久的現代舞盛事。由創始人與前國際知名舞者 Keith Ferrone與Marga Nativo 共同創辦，主要演出場域選在佛羅倫斯地標之一的「 Basilica di Santa Maria Novella新聖母大殿」進行。該藝術節融合古典與當代舞蹈，致力打破藝術與大眾之間的隔閡，推動多元舞蹈表現與國際間深度交流。 Fondato oltre 35 anni fa, il Florence Dance Festival è uno degli eventi di danza moderna più prestigiosi e longevi d’Italia. Creato dai curatori e rinomati ballerini signore Keith Ferrone e signora Marga Nativo, lo spettacolo si svolge nella storica Basilica di Santa Maria Novella, uno dei simboli di Firenze. Il festival coniuga danza classica e contemporanea, con l’obiettivo di abbattere il muro tra arte e pubblico, promuovendo espressioni artistiche diversificate e un intenso scambio internazionale.
中正高中作為臺灣少數設有正式舞蹈班的中學，近年來在校長江惠真帶領下，積極推動校園藝術國際化，鼓勵學生勇敢走向世界舞台。此次師生一行不僅參與FDF的舞蹈演出，也深入參加大師班與舞蹈交流工作坊，透過浸潤式的訓練與學習，跨越年齡與文化，將內心情感巧妙轉譯為動人肢體語言。 Il Liceo Zhongzheng, una delle poche scuole superiori di Taiwan dotate di un corso formalizzato di danza, negli ultimi anni si è impegnato a internazionalizzare l’arte scolastica sotto la guida della preside Jiang Huizhen, che incoraggia gli studenti a confrontarsi con il mondo. In quest’occasione, insegnanti e studenti non solo hanno preso parte alle esibizioni e ai laboratori del FDF, ma hanno vissuto un’esperienza immersiva di formazione, superando le barriere generazionali e culturali, traducendo emozioni interiori in potenti linguaggi corporei.
2025年夏季，適逢江校長任期即將結束，帶領舞蹈班同學出訪歐洲，同時也帶領美術班學生赴佛羅倫斯美術學院進行跨領域學習與文化交流。江校長表示：「我們的學生是臺灣的代表隊，這趟旅程是搭建中西文化交流橋樑的珍貴窗口。」 Nell’estate 2025, con il termine del mandato della preside Jiang, lei ha guidato la delegazione non solo degli studenti di danza ma anche quelli del corso di arti visive verso l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze per uno scambio culturale interdisciplinare. La preside ha dichiarato: «I nostri ragazzi sono la squadra rappresentativa di Taiwan, e questo viaggio è un prezioso ponte per lo scambio tra culture orientali e occidentali.»
舞者劉育榕分享，芭蕾大師班由國際著名舞者Marga Nativo親授，「老師除了強調動作細節與精準度，更注重我們如何表達情感以及感受音樂所帶來的動作張力。」現代舞課程則由當代編舞家Angelo Egarese指導，引領學生探索肢體的多樣質感與律動，激發個人獨特舞蹈語言，並與國際舞團共創舞作，迸發創新火花。 La studentessa Liu Yurong ha condiviso la sua esperienza: «Durante la lezione di balletto tenuta dalla celebre Marga Nativo, l’insegnante non si concentra solo sui dettagli e la precisione dei movimenti, ma anche su come esprimere emozioni e sentire la tensione del movimento in sintonia con la musica.» Nel corso contemporaneo, diretto dal coreografo Angelo Egarese, gli studenti hanno esplorato diverse qualità del movimento, sviluppando un proprio linguaggio artistico e collaborando con compagnie internazionali per creare nuove coreografie, accendendo scintille di creatività.
“親人在遠方，我們彼此思念牽掛，但知曉各自安好”
Al sorgere dell’alba, arrotola le tende ghiacciate. Scalda le mani e si prova il trucco nello stile del fiore di prugno. Prova malinconia perché il suo amante non è più lì. Si disegna le sopracciglia lunghe, come catene montuose.
《遠山 Montagne lontane》
當晚，中正高中舞蹈班同學以《遠山》這齣舞作壓軸演出由韋紫翎編舞，遠山含笑、春水綠映的寫意情境，透過舞者們好似自然山形的身段動作與舞蹈語彙表現出 “親人在遠方，我們彼此思念牽掛，但知曉各自安好”的文學意境。 Quella sera, gli studenti della classe di danza del Liceo Zhong-zheng hanno chiuso lo spettacolo con la coreografia 《Montagne Lontane》, creata dalla coreografa Wei Ziling. L’atmosfera pittorica, con montagne che sorridono e acque primaverili verdeggianti, viene resa attraverso movimenti e posture dei danzatori che ricordano la sagoma naturale delle montagne. L’opera esprime il sentimento letterario di “avere cari lontani, sentirsi vicini nel pensiero e nell’affetto, pur sapendo che ognuno sta bene nel proprio luogo.”

李佳育同學分享，「我們運用舞蹈動作與飄扇來表達對彼此的思念，穿著一套綠色系的衣服來表達青山綠水。」整體服裝的設計傳達出一種「靜謐而生動」的動態美，藉由絲織材質的選擇帶出湖面波光般輕盈飄逸的律動感，配合飄扇靈動的特質，猶如思念之意隨風吹過遠山樹梢，從視覺與聽覺中時刻傳達含蓄內斂的思念情意。 La studentessa Li Jiayu ha condiviso: “ Abbiamo utilizzato movimenti di danza e ventagli leggeri per esprimere il nostro affetto e la nostalgia reciproca, indossando abiti nei toni del verde per rappresentare le montagne verdi e le acque cristalline.” Il design complessivo dei costumi trasmette una bellezza dinamica, «tranquilla ma vivace». La scelta di tessuti di seta evoca la leggerezza e la fluidità delle increspature sulla superficie del lago. Insieme alla delicatezza e al movimento dei ventagli, si crea l’effetto di un sentimento di nostalgia che si diffonde dolcemente come il vento che accarezza le cime degli alberi lontani, comunicando con discrezione e profondità questa emozione sia visivamente che nell’atmosfera sonora.
事隔三年與佛羅倫斯的情誼，是對該校舞蹈教育及學生努力最好的肯定。藝術是一種跨越語言與文化的力量，期盼透過舞蹈與藝術，將臺灣青年的活力和創意帶到國際舞台，與世界分享屬於臺灣學子的故事。 Il viaggio a Firenze di quest’anno è il frutto di un rapporto profondo e duraturo tra il Liceo Zhong-zheng e il panorama internazionale della danza, nonché un riconoscimento del duro lavoro e della qualità dell’insegnamento della scuola. L’arte supera tutte le barriere linguistiche e culturali: il Liceo Zhong-zheng aspira a portare l’energia e la creatività dei giovani taiwanesi sul palcoscenico mondiale, condividendo con il mondo le emozionanti storie degli studenti di Taiwan.

Can “Socially Engaged Art” effectively bridge the gap between “art/society” and “NFT/crypto art”?
撰文者/photo credit：Gogo.W
近年來，以社會參與（Social Engagement）為核心的藝術實踐計畫，越來越常在世界各地發現它們的蹤跡，藝術創作者們以多樣化的身份跨界投入，作為探討「社會議題」與研究「當代藝術變遷」的媒介，進一步誘發公眾的「價值思維」讓大家思考藝術計畫的動機與目的，認同並主動成為「社會參與藝術」（Socially-Engaged Art）的一份子，讓非藝術的社會行為變成創作的一種形式。 In recent years, art practices centered on Social Engagement have become more and more commonplace around the world. Art creators have crossed borders in a variety of capacities to explore “social issues” and study “contemporary art changes,” further inducing the public’s “value mindset” to think about the motivation and purpose of art projects and to recognize and take the initiative to become a part of Socially Engaged Art so that non-artistic social behaviors can be turned into forms of creativity.
線上與線下「參與者」間的共通性 Commonalities between online and offline ‘participants’
社會參與藝術的兩大核心概念：「社區/社群」（Community）與「公眾/公共」（Public）。其中一部份以去除藝術家身份為主體的概念，強調以存在于相同空間、分享著相似的信念與觀點的特質，匯集這樣一群人在一起成為「藝術參與者」，共同為某一個具體的目標投入時間與心力為達成預想內的成果。 There are two core concepts of participatory art: “Community” and “Public”. One of these concepts is based on the removal of the artist’s identity, emphasizing the qualities of existing in the same space, sharing similar beliefs and perspectives, and bringing together a group of people to become “art participants”, who jointly invest their time and effort in a specific goal to achieve a desired result.
在這樣的背景之下，可以直接聯想到區塊鏈所倡議的「社群共識」(community consensus)，系統性建立了關於參與者的交易軌跡，當符合多數人的共識後，才得以延續物件的交易紀錄。其中加密貨幣（cryptocurrencies）去中心化的金融架構與不可逆的交易原理，完美的被應用於NFT（Non-Fungible Token）與數位藝術（Digital Art）的串連之中，從而衍生出新的藝術資產定義—加密藝術（Crypto Art）。系統架構運作的必然要素即為社群的力量，開發機能完善的資料庫機制，如果沒有人的使用就無法構成有效積極的交易體系。 Against this background, we can directly think of the “community consensus” advocated by blockchain, which systematically establishes the transaction trajectory of the participants, and only when it meets the consensus of the majority of the people can the transaction records of the objects be continued. The decentralized financial structure of cryptocurrencies and the principle of irreversible transactions are perfectly applied to the connection between NFT (Non-Fungible Token) and Digital Art, thus giving rise to a new definition of art assets – Crypto Art. The inevitable element of the system structure is the power of the community, and the development of a well-functioning database mechanism will not be able to constitute an effective and active trading system without the use of people.
「社會參與藝術」和「加密藝術」， 兩個同樣都是建立於「公眾認同」理念的線上/線下社群， 看似八竿子打不著的藝術導向，卻都凝聚著公眾的力量， 逐漸形成一種特殊的關係美學。 “Socially-Engaged Art” and “Crypto Art” are two online/offline communities that are also based on the concept of “public recognition”. Seemingly unrelated to each other in terms of artistic direction, they both unite the power of the public and gradually form a special aesthetic relationship.
LVGA/XY ASTRO FLOWERS
LVGA/XY ASTRO FLOWERS 是義大利/瑞士混血的視覺藝術家—尤里・卡塔尼亞（Yuri Catania）與其團隊構思的一項社會參與式的藝術計畫，2023年8月30日起，歷時13個工作天，投入超過150位藝術專業工作者以及自發性參與者（其中包含市民、學生以及民間組織志工等組成），在瑞士盧加諾（Lugano, Switzerland）國會宮（會展中心）的外牆上執行的大型裝置作品。 LVGA/XY ASTRO FLOWERS is a socially engaged art project conceived by Italian/Swiss visual artist Yuri Catania and his team. Starting from August 30th, 2023, lasted over thirteen days, more than 150 art professionals and spontaneous participants (including citizens, students, and volunteers of civic organizations, etc.) were involved in the execution of a large-scale installation on the facades Palazzo dei Congressi (Exhibition Center) in Lugano, Switzerland.
“Art will save the world” slogan with artist Yuri Catania, photo credit: Gogo.W
計畫標語—「Art Will Save The World藝術將拯救世界」作品靈感來自瑞士第一位登上太空的飛行員－克勞德・尼科里埃爾（Claude Nicollier）的宇宙觀，採用「Paste-Up黏貼」的街頭藝術技法，融合藝術家的美學思維與其過往的創作元素，藝術家結合主體對象「太空人」以及夜間拍攝的物件「植物花卉」構成畫面的3個架構。 The slogan of the project – “Art Will Save The World” is inspired by the cosmic vision of Claude Nicollier, the first Swiss astronaut in space. Adopting the street art technique of “Paste-Up”, it combines the aesthetics of the artist with elements of his past creations. The main subject “astronauts” and the objects “plants and flowers” photographed at night, which are making up the three structures of the picture.
以當週於會展中心舉行的NFT節為背景，藝術家深入探討當代的關鍵議題：Web3.0、區塊鏈、加密貨幣/藝術與元宇宙之間的交互作用，質疑自然與科技之間的關聯。太空人金色面罩觀望著恰尼公園（Parco Ciani），反射出作品與地景間的連結，符合3D視覺的空間編排，與多達1,500個紙花朵結合，呈現寬42公尺＊高8公尺的大型裝置作品。 Against the backdrop of the NFT Festival held at the Palazzo dei Congressi that week, the artist delves into key contemporary issues: Web 3.0, blockchain, cryptocurrencies/interaction between art and metaverse, and questioning the relationship between nature and technology. The astronaut’s golden mask looks out over the Parco Ciani, reflecting the connection between the work and the landscape, conforming to the spatial arrangement of 3D vision, and combining with more than 1,500 paper-made flowers to create a large-scale installation 42 meters wide * 8 meters high.
實踐社會參與藝術，成為其中一份子 Become a part of socially-engaged arts practice
筆者因為參與了盧加諾NFT節活動得以與這項藝術計畫串起連結，早在活動開始前，太空人早已乘著群花遍佈展會中心的外牆，從遠處觀看難以分辨是何種媒材與技法，強烈的黑白與彩色構成的3D視覺效果勾起我想要深入了解的好奇心，連續三天在會場外觀察藝術家與志願們分工合作的身影，偶爾藝術家也會停下動作與路過圍觀的民眾，親切地解釋計畫的動機並分享使用媒材的特性與原因，試圖拉近藝術與公眾的距離。 As a result of my participation in the NFT Festival in Lugano, I was able to connect with this art project. Even before the event started, astronauts were already riding on the flowers on the outer wall of the exhibition center, and it was hard to tell what kind of media and technique they were using from afar, but the strong black and white and colorful 3D visual effect aroused my curiosity to learn more about the project. For three consecutive days, I observed the artists and volunteers working together outside the venue. Occasionally, the artists would stop to explain the motivation of the project and share the characteristics and reasons for the use of the media with the passing onlookers, in an attempt to bring art and the public closer together.
作品完成前夕，筆者積極正向的態度成功讓藝術家留下深刻印象，並受邀請在最後一天實際參與計畫，過程當中與藝術家妻子Silvia Torricelli，同時為計畫背後除藝術家外最主要的執行者，以及數位志願者們交談，深切地感受到每個人單純支持藝術行動的心。即使是簡單的「剪貼行為」使用單純的媒材「紙張」與「膠水」也能夠將想像具體化，後期透過縮時攝影的拍攝，將13天的時間濃縮成60秒的畫面，藉由AI的技術未來將製成NFT贈送給所有參與計畫的人，藝術除了在這個宇宙時空留下足跡，更是在元宇宙中劃下一部分區塊。 On the eve of the completion of the artwork, the author’s positive attitude successfully impressed the artist and invited her to participate in the project on the last day. During the process, I talked with the artist’s wife, Silvia Torricelli, as well as the main implementers of the project besides the artist, and digital volunteers, and deeply felt everyone’s heart to support the art action. Even the simple act of “cutting and pasting” with the use of simple media “paper” and “glue” can materialize the imagination, and in the later stage, through time-lapse photography, the 13 days were condensed into a 60-second image, which will be made into NFTs to be given to all the participants in the future through AI technology, so that the art will not only leave its footprints in the universe and space-time but will also delineate a part of the meta-universe.
The Red Warm Current over 2,000 ft. a.s.l 【Bivacco Bedin】
There is a magnificent mountain range “Dolomiti” in the north of Italy, which is a well-known ski resort in winter and a popular hiking paradise for mountaineers in summertime. The endless mountain range creates unforgettably beautiful scenery, especially in summer when walking on the mountain trails feels incomparably isolated, and the dazzling sunshine reflects on the stone walls of the forests, which gather the natural souls of Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other countries together, and has the status of a World Natural Heritage Site.
Nestled among the peaks and overlooking the Dolomiti That beautiful but lonely Red hut [ Bivacco Bedin ] A campsite that even most Italians don’t know much about.
The Bivacco Bedin is located on a green plateau at an altitude of 2,210 ft. above sea level in the Pale di San Lucano. The area is famous for its magnificent peaks, grandiose mountain ranges, and spectacular natural landscapes. Originally built in 1977 by the Italian mountaineering group called Vicenza, in memory of one of their members Margherita Bedin, who died tragically on Gran Sasso Mountain. The hut is a simple and sturdy structure that offers climbers a place of rest and refuge away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with unparalleled panoramic views of the nearby mountains, cliffs, and valleys.

▎Bivacco Bedin ▎is a wooden structure made of two multi-sided geometric shapes, covered in customized metal panels, with windows that look out to the east and offer a breathtaking view of Dolomiti from inside the hut. The metal panels on the outside of the window frames can be manually covered in anticipation of the changing weather situations on the Peak, also allowing the hut to achieve a good protection mechanism and at the same time keep the indoor room warm when the temperature is low outside.
The interior is divided into two areas, “sleeping” and “public“, using wood as the main material. Sleeping environment, with nine beds to utilize the limited space effectively, each bed is equipped with warm blankets labeled in the direction of the head and feet, even if a boy who is over 180cm still could have a good rest. In the main public space, there including wooden polygonal table, wall benches, and built-in cabinets, on top of which there are materials and equipment contributed by mountaineers. Outside the house even added a rainwater tower, which can be used for emergency water is very convenient. A seemingly narrow building structure but has all the essential stuff that you need on the mountaintop.

▌Unexpected Mountain Hut △ How to go ▌
We heard about this magical place from an 18-year-old Italian boy Alessio, after he highly recommended us to go there. we drove from Lago di Garda to the village of Pradimezzo, Cencenighe Agordin.
However, it was already past 4pm when we arrived, but since the weather report expected that there would be heavy rains that night, our simple tent would not be going to be able to withstand the situation, so in the end, we decided to head up to the mountain to avoid the worst weather.
Basically, the whole route was along Route 764 (Ambrosogn) and then connected Route 765 to Bivacco Bedin. We parked the car at the spot reserved for mountaineers (873 meters above sea level) and quickly packed up the necessary gear and supplies, and then we started to climb the mountain at around 5:00 p.m.
After passing through the village, the fork signposted n.764 (Ambrosogn) to the right, officially entered the multi-bends forest. luckily the late departure helped us escape the heat of the afternoon in comfortable weather that didn’t make us sweat all over our backs. The first 30 minutes were a quick warm-up, and the rate of breathing became more and more rapid for the climb around 1,400 ft.
Along the way, follow the red and white signs (a common sign for hiking routes in Italy), and occasionally you can see some small towers pushed up by rocks to assist hikers of the right direction.
After about an hour, the trail starts to cut down to the stream way (Rù del Torcol), which used to be connected to the wall by a suspension bridge, but a natural disaster in the fall of 2018 destroyed the bridge, only leaving some remains of a broken bridge, now it is necessary to carefully pass through the rocky rappel to continue the ascent.
Before passing the Malga D’Ambrosogn ranch, we would first pass an overgrown building (Casera del Torcol), and a well-maintained water point (the other location is about 20 minutes walk from the Bivacco Bedin), where we rehydrated and change out of our soaked clothes.
From the cool forest through the soft meadows and along the wide Val del Torcol, it takes an hour to reach the charming green basin of Malga D’Ambrosogn, which was renovated in 2009 and is being used as a campsite, where you can still see some hikers camping here time by time.
After leaving the deciduous forests, the vegetation became thinner and thinner, and as we entered Route n.765 we started to climb steeply up the gravel road, up over the sidewalk of Cime di Ambrosogn, and as the sky darkened with mist, we couldn’t help but scared that we would be walking up the mountain in the dark.
The climate in the mountains was so unpredictable that we didn’t dare to stop for a rest, fearing that we might encounter fog at some point. Instead, only can walk along the perimeter of the precipice, looking back from time to time at the breathtaking views of Monti del Sole and Valbelluna without being able to stop and admire them. Little did we realize that we were not far from our destination!
From here, we follow the winding southern face of the Prima Pala di San Lucano, the first altar of San Lucano, to the last section before the fog comes in, and at 9.30pm we reach the coveted finishing point: 【 Bivacco Bedin 】, situated on the high plateau of the Prima Pala, at an altitude of 2,210 ft., an excellent panoramic view, where you can stay overnight in a mountain hut, just as we did, or you can camp around the area for the night. In addition to staying at the hut like we did, you can also set up camp for the night in the surrounding area. (There were only two of us and two other young men and women in the hut that night.
Through the age-old photos on the wall, you can see the lonely but energetic Bivacco Bedin in spring, summer, fall, and winter, standing at the top of the mountain to provide shelter for the countless hikers, accompanying them every day.
We stayed on the mountain for two nights in total and encountered a variety of weather conditions. Being at the top of a cluster of mountains, the air currents mostly converge up the mountain walls, therefore, the thunder and lightning combined with the heavy storm on the first night made it difficult for all of us to fall asleep. On the second day, a short period of sunshine gave us a chance to explore the surrounding scenery and discover another trail that had been destroyed by an accidental fire, leaving behind a patchwork of gray and dead branches creating a distinctive look, with some beautiful flora and fauna that can only be found at high altitudes.
Under the warm and cozy temperature, we had yoga on one of the gentle stones, trying to get rid of the recent heavy stress and the high level of exercise on the first day. There was a thunderstorm + hail in the afternoon, and the rain brought away the clouds in the sky, giving us a chance to see the stars in the sky at night, even though the temperature was low, there was no way to stop the emotion brought by the bright starry sky.
On the day of the descent, I tidied up the hut took away the garbage, and rushed to leave before 10:00 a.m. I met two groups of 9 people in the middle of the journey. Although the descent was not as tiring as the ascent, the inclined gradient of the wet and slippery path required a high degree of concentration, and the carelessness of slipping and falling brought an immense amount of pressure on my knees and feet, and it took the same amount of time as the ascent (about 4.5 hours).
The lack of physical support during the endless climbs on the mountain hills brought me more and more discouragement and demoralization, but luckily my partner gave me great support and encouragement so I could make it to the top and cleanse my body mind spirit.
For those who love to explore the mountains and forests, it is recommended that you don’t miss out on this beautiful place and make sure to arrange a visit to Bivacco Bedin when you are in Dolomiti to experience a different kind of scenery.
▌Thoughtful Notes ▌ Regarding the contents of the backpack, because we were in a hurry we didn’t take photos of what they looked like. If you plan to spend a night in the mountains, we suggest you choose a lightweight medium-sized backpack (26-40 liters is more than enough) but if you want to camp there then you should include the weight of the tent. Don’t need too many items for the trip in summer and fall, if you have limited physical abilities just bring enough water for rehydration because there are two places where you could replenish the water supply.
There is no electricity supply in the hut, so everyone spontaneously prepares “candles” but we recommend you to use rechargeable headlamps, and “coffeepowder” (Italians are famous for their love of coffee, and there are mocha pots left behind by former hikers so that future hikers can easily quaff a hot cup of coffee).
Last but not least, as the old saying goes, take your own garbage down the mountain【No Trace in the Mountain Forest】! Remember, we have to pay attention to maintain the beautiful mountains and forests to share with others ^^.
Bivacco Bedin 山屋位於聖盧卡諾群峰 Pale di San Lucano，海拔2,210公尺一處翠綠高原上。該地區以壯麗的山峰、宏偉的山巒和壯觀的自然景觀聞名於世。最初於1977年由一個義大利登山組織建造，旨在紀念在大薩索山上不幸離世的一名成員瑪格麗塔・貝丁（Margherita Bedin）。這個山屋是一個簡單且堅固的結構，提供登山者在遠離城市喧囂的環境中休息和庇護的地方，可以欣賞到無與倫比的全景，包括附近的山脈、懸崖和谷地的壯觀景色。
大約1小時後，開始下切到溪流道（托科爾河支流Rù del Torcol），以前是經由一座懸索橋連接兩邊的山壁，2018年秋天一場天災將橋摧毀，殘留下一些斷橋遺跡；現在則是需要小心地沿著石塊拉金屬索通過，繼續爬升。
在經過Malga D’Ambrosogn牧場之前，會經過一棟雜草叢生的建築Casera del Torcol與一處維持良好的取水處（另一處是在距離Bivacco Bedin山屋20分鐘的山壁側取水點），我們在這邊補水更換濕透的衣物。
從涼爽樹林穿過柔軟的草地，沿著寬闊的 Val del Torcol 前進，1小時後抵達迷人的綠色盆地Malga D’Ambrosogn。【Ambrosogn】它在2009年翻修過，屬於一個緊急的露營地，可以看見還是有不少登山者在此露宿。
告別落葉林之後，植被變得越來越稀疏，進入765號路線開始陡峭的碎石路， 向上越過Cime di Ambrosogn的城牆，漸暗的天色伴隨著薄霧，我們不禁害怕將會摸黑上山。
山上的氣候變幻莫測，所以我們不敢停下腳步休息，深怕不知何時會遇到大霧，只能順著山壁周圍走去，不時回頭望向Monti del Sole和Valbelluna的令人驚嘆的景緻卻無法停下欣賞。那時的我們還不曉得，其實我們距離目的地已經不遠了！
從這邊開始，沿著聖盧卡諾第一祭壇Prima Pala di San Lucano蜿蜒的南段山壁走去，最後一段趕在大霧來襲前，晚上9點30分到達夢寐以求的終點：Bivacco Bedin，它位於Prima Pala的高原地上，海拔2,210公尺一個極佳的全景點，除了跟我們一樣在山屋留宿之外，也可以在周圍紮營過夜。（當天晚上山屋只有我們兩人與另外兩位男女青年）
“The shape reflects the disillusionment with social hierarchy and is made of Polish coins minted in brass from cement waste at construction sites. The total value of the coins used on the creation = [the poverty line] corresponds to the official statistics of Poland in 2021 (based on a family of four) .” ［2329,77/4, 2022］
對光的研究和時間的測量都是研究實踐的重要工具 the research on light and the measurement of time is the essential tools to investigate the practice.
藝術家們的創作靈感，大多數都來自於日常生活中的痕跡。 Most of the artists’ creations are inspired by the traces of daily life.
Mateusz Choróbski (Poland, 1987), through his subtle observation of the surrounding environment, extracted every aspect of things and transformed them into the source of the essence of his works, obtaining the necessary information and characteristics from the different material carriers. By deconstructing and analyzing the object, the artist touches on the artist’s acute perceptual experience and reconstructs a different visual vehicle, skillfully integrating the reshaped object with the characteristics of space and time, giving it a different direction of interpretation than before.
近年來不斷到各國進行展出，柏林・Another Vacant Space (2013)、波蘭貝托姆・Kronika Centre for Contemporary Art (2016)、波蘭華沙・Wschód Gallery (2019)等地，更是與義大利結下了深刻的緣分，分別在（2019）羅馬・La Fondazione、（2020) 佛羅倫斯・Edorardo Secci Gallery 舉辦展覽，同年受埃娃・卡恩博士基金會Dr. Kahán Éva Foundation 的邀請，在托斯卡尼中部作為三位藝術家之一，進行為期一個月的藝術駐村計畫。
Mateusz Choróbski, born in 1987 in Radomsko, Poland, now lives in Warsaw, Poland. He graduated from Poznan University of Arts and Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts.
He is a creator of multimedia, installation, performance art, and sculpture. He is influenced and inspired by the reality of society through the recycling of readymade building materials, which in turn brings multisensory works into a broad conceptual framework (everyday readymades, common objects, natural creatures). For the artist, the opposite of “effective art practice” should be “spatial concept” and “physical perception”.
In recent years, he has been exhibiting in various countries, such as Another Vacant Space (2013) in Berlin, Kronika Centre for Contemporary Art (2016) in Bertram, Poland, and Wschód Gallery (2019) in Warsaw, Poland, and has a deep connection with Italy, where he exhibited at （In the same year, he was invited by the Dr. Kahán Éva Foundation to be one of three artists in central Tuscany for a month-long residency program.
2020年，在佛羅倫斯・塞奇畫廊（Eduardo Secci Gallery）的展覽中，【一步之遙 A Step Away】透過轉換空間與物體之間主賓的關係，輕柔譜寫出一系列作品與展廳的音符節奏，加入自然界礦物和植物元素的特徵，再生合成出尋常主體，讓時間和物質自然發揮它們的作用，好像變奏曲一般不依循常態律動。然而，展覽當時卻受到新冠疫情的影響，參觀人次銳減僅維持短短數週，隨即結束展演。
In 2020, in the exhibition at Eduardo Secci Gallery in Florence, A Step Away gently composed a series of works and rhythms of the exhibition hall by changing the relationship between space and objects, adding the characteristics of natural mineral and plant elements, regenerating, and synthesizing the ordinary subject, allowing time and matter to play their role naturally, like a rhythm. It is like a variation of the normal rhythm. However, the exhibition was affected by the new epidemic and the number of visitors dropped drastically for a few weeks, and the exhibition was then closed.
三年過去疫情趨緩，同樣在義大利知名藝評、策展人—皮爾・保羅・潘科托Pier Paolo Pancotto的推波助燃之下，終於在米蘭・塞奇畫廊（Secci Gallery）的NOVO實驗空間以【捉迷藏 Hide and Seek】為題，開啟藝術家首次個展，並且同步於米蘭舊蒸汽工廠 Fabbrica del Vapore 轉型後的文創園區裡，啟動另一個特定的燈光裝置項目。
Three years later, the epidemic subsided, and with the help of Pier Paolo Pancotto, a renowned Italian art critic and curator, the artist finally opened his first solo exhibition at the NOVO Experimental Space in Secci Gallery in Milan under the title Hide and Seek. In parallel, another specific lighting installation project was launched in the transformed cultural and creative park of Fabbrica del Vapore, the former steam factory in Milan.

The relationship between two indoor and outdoor spaces, two ways of time movement, and daylight, is common to Mateusz Choróbski’s work itself. In the gallery, the objects flow with the clock, while the large installations on view at the Steam Factory flow against the clock. The former is a private space; the latter is a light installation in a public space. To move naturally between the two exhibitions, the only way to understand the intrinsic value and meaning of art creation is to analyze the concepts and thoughts behind the works, and to visit the site to feel the perceptual experience beyond the written narrative, so as to connect one’s own experience with the viewing experience.

On the opening night, we had the opportunity to meet the curators, artists, and enthusiastic art workers, and even if it was just a few minutes of conversation, it induced the passion and feelings hidden deep inside. The artist briefly explained that the large installation, located in the outdoor space, reuses the receding window glass of the old building, and mixes it with lighting installations to create a silhouette that resembles the top of the building, which you can’t find during the daytime, but when the sunset comes, it quietly appears in your sight, opening a dialogue with the environment every second.
初次到訪畫廊位於米蘭的空間，2米高的落地玻璃，大方消除空間的隔閡，［2329,77/4, 2022］這件裝置的標題來自錢幣的總和，由熔化金幣再製的複合媒材雕塑，數件高低之分的圓柱結構，連接著展間的地板與天花板。 空氣中充斥著一股淡淡的肥皂氣味，從形似工程中的木質結構雕塑系列［37 Old Road No.1/2/3, 2022］散發出，那是藝術家記憶中對家的嗅覺記憶。
When I first visited the gallery’s space in Milan, the 2-meter-high floor-to-ceiling glass generously bridged the space. [2329,77/4, 2022] The title of this installation comes from the sum of coins, a composite media sculpture made from molten gold coins, and several high and low cylindrical structures connecting the floor and ceiling of the exhibition space. The air is filled with a faint smell of soap, emanating from a series of sculptures shaped like the wooden structures in the project [37 Old Road No. 1/2/3, 2022], which are the artist’s olfactory memories of home.
［2329,77/4, 2022］［37 Old Road No.2, 2022］
3件運用鋼、玻璃與燈光構成的作品［Hide and Seek no.1/2/3, 2023］，柔和的光線透出氣泡霧面玻璃結構，照亮了昏暗的空間，塑造了鋼構的視覺輪廓，轉化材質的功能性，無聲無息突破舊有的表現力。
The soft light of the three works [Hide and Seek no.1/2/3, 2023], which use steel, glass, and light, illuminates the dim space with its air bubble matte glass structure and shapes the visual contours of the steel structure, transforming the functionality of the material and breaking through the old expression without a sound.
The lightness of the light shows us the social dilemma of being a Polish person, and the actual value issues brought out by the concrete economic situation, from the shallow to the deeper to see the real issues that exist in all corners of the world.

— 回到過去Back to the Future：聚焦於1960年代至今，當代藝術先驅們的專題項目，重新將藝術家帶回國際藝術對話的中心。由柏林藝文中心Haus am Waldsee館長—Anna Gritz、義大利獨立策展人—Balthazar Lovay共同策劃，10位藝術家（9間國際畫廊與1間義大利畫廊）。
2020年為因應新冠疫情造成的影響，展會將焦點投注於創建線上影音平台。【ARTISIMMA VOICE OVER】一項全新跨多媒體影音的企劃，今年在Fondazione CampagnIa di San Paolo合作贊助下順利執行，針對參與展會的所有藝術家與藝術工作者們進行廣泛的概述與訪問，透過「Podcase」、「頁面文字」、「採訪影片」等多媒體形式，提供豐富的深度報導，同時也讓其他地區的人有機會遠端參與展會。
今年展會概念為「變革性體驗」，主題核心取自美國哲學家 Laurie Anna Paul (L.A. Paul：耶魯大學哲學與認知科學教授) 2014年在牛津大學出版社發表的書籍文章中提出的概念，所謂「變革性體驗」能夠從根本上改變生活在其中的人，以一種對未知的視角面對，試圖引發一場理性預期的危機，嘗試觸發更多潛藏於各領域尚未被提出討論的觀點與互動。
