當軀殼脫離生命本身，是否有被固著為雕像之外的可能？
本展以身體之於雕塑的距離，連結藝術家創作過程的身體，跨越人、人類、人群、人體的定義，以肉身成形，雕塑作媒介，展出三位以雕塑創作的藝術家，分別以身體回應不同的關係：
江宜瑾 的作品製作了手、腳、大腿等身體局部，夾雜輔具的使用，穿插在部分身體之中，以包覆、拉扯、擠壓的方式，使得被製造物得以呈現。身體被複製後脫離身體，不再是能自主行動的身體，如同身體因為疾病、意外等傷害使其喪失行動功能後，失去發聲的能力。工具的使用能讓受傷者能夠再次行走，物件也是藉由擺放的方式、工具、空間等等，呈現最適當的樣貌，以此探討生存的樣貌、生命的姿態。
施瑾 發掘人類多面向，從習性、外貌、身體、感受、生理反應等等單一面向切入觀看，藉此更靠近人類的真實面貌。以人類與創作者雙重身分為依據，由本身向外觀看、或跳脫模擬作為人以外第三者的角度，描畫出接近人類真實的輪廓。她以人類身體為媒介，觀察人類與自身關係，探索人類作為生物物種中有別於它者獨有之特性，並把人生觀體現在創作中。主要使用的創作媒材為木、金屬，試圖以非傳統的雕塑人像方式，框架出更接近人類本身的樣貌，並激發觀者之共感經驗。
擷取人體的各部件，詹詠幀 以肉體積累生活痕跡，作為他人與自我共同行使的工具，勾勒出精神與身體共同體驗經歷的過程。作品以規律的擺動、疲軟的姿態、褪去的皮囊、受迫的肉身等樣貌呈現，肢體與軀幹間不同材質的轉換，並置陳列、擬仿變形的人類日常，形成一種似真又假的怪異感，描述現代社會中人類群體的成長、想望與創傷。
雕塑是身體密集勞動下的產物，在創作的過程中必須不斷地透過身體感知去重新體驗作品。雕塑同時也是極注重材質語言的藝術類型，不同材質如同身體各部位的不同質地，帶給觀者視覺與觸覺的非言辭感受。此聯展藉由人類身體為楔子，將之社會化、物件化與他者化，以雕塑性的身體，與雕塑的身體性，共同堆砌出多重敘事的肉身欲言／寓言。

The Body Factor
When the shell of a body becomes separated from life, are there possibilities other than turning it into a sculpture?
Based on the distance between the body and sculpture, this exhibition connects the distance between the body of the artist and their sculptures. Going beyond the definition of person, people, human, and the human body, based on the form of the flesh and sculpture as the medium, three sculptural artists reveal how they respond to different relationships with body:
Chiang Yi-Jin created body parts, such as hands, feet, and thighs, with the use of auxiliary tools interweaved among parts of the body. Furthermore, various methods, such as wrapping, dragging, and squeezing, are used to present the manufactured objects. After the body is replicated it leaves the body, and becomes a body that can no longer move independently. Just like a body that is hurt and loses mobility due to illness or accidents, it loses the ability to speak up. However, the use of tools can help the injured to walk again. Objects are also presented in their most appropriate appearance by the method of placement, tools, space, and more, to explore the facades and attitudes of life.
Exploring the multifaceted aspects of human beings, such as habits, outer appearance, body, feelings, and physiological response, Shih Jin observes each aspect one at a time to get closer to the reality of humans. Based on her dual identity as both a human and the creator, looking outward or escaping the self and imitating a third-party non-human observer, she depicts a realistic human outline. Using the human body as the media, Shi observes the relationship between humanity and self, exploring the unique characteristics of humans as a biological species. The artwork, consisting of wood and metal, also embodies Shi’s outlook on life, attempting to outline a look that is closer to the true reality of humans using non-traditional sculptural statues to inspire the empathy of viewers.
Taking various human body parts, the work of Chan Yung-Jen reveals traces of life with layered flesh, as a shared tool for others and the self, outlining a journey traversed together by the body and the spirit. The periodic swinging motion, tired postures, stripped skin, flesh under pressure, and the transformation of various materials used for the limbs vs the torso are displayed next to each other. The visual, simulating a deformed human life while creating an oddity that is both real and surreal, describes the growth, hopes, and trauma of human groups in modern society.
Sculptures are the product of intensive physical labor, to be re-explored during the creative process through continuous physical perception. Sculpture is also a type of art where the use of materials is crucial. Different materials are similar to the different textures of various parts of the body, bringing non-verbal sensations to a viewer’s vision and sense of touch. Based on attempts to socialize, objectify, and otherize the human body, this joint exhibition aims to present the sculptural body and physicality to stack up multi-layered narratives of fleshy desires and fables.
