空相 - 皮肤：关根伸夫个展
亚洲艺术中心荣幸地宣布“空相 - 皮肤：关根伸夫个展”将于2019年1月12日在亚洲艺术中心台北一馆举办，此次展览将展出关根伸夫2016年的创作及精选手稿共20件（组），展览开幕式于2019年1月12日（周六）当天下午4点举行，展期持续至2019年3月3日。
始于1968-70年间的“物派”是日本战后现代艺术极具象征意义的团体，寻找属于亚洲特有的形式，实践东方哲学的思维以及对于当时西方文化的质疑；“物派”系由本展艺术家关根伸夫，与日韩多位艺术家共同创始。
位相 - 大地 Phase - Mother Earth 1968
1942年出生于埼玉县的关根伸夫，于1968年自多摩美术大学油画系毕业，同年即投入概念性的创作：“位相 - 大地”，此作及关根伸夫的理念开启了新的艺术型态 - “以具象呈现意识形态”且表现人与自然的关系，对亚洲区日后的大地、装置、极简艺术发展，影响深远。

本次亚洲艺术中心展出关根伸夫最新系列“空相 - 皮肤”，其中更展出关根伸夫精选草稿，草稿的展示除了能拉近与艺术家的距离，了解艺术家于创作过程的思维，更为展览的脉络增加了完整性。半世纪以来，其创作理念皆立基于“物派”之脉络，同时亦受禅宗哲学启发。他将拓扑学（位相几何学）的理论结合艺术实验，探讨物事“形变质不变”的状态，以此思维延伸，当立体位相扩张至极限即成平面，故关根伸夫认为绘画是薄膜型态的雕塑，从不同角度给出各种多元观感，以及如何影响人与物之间的关系。

本系列作品由三个角度推展和实践“物派”的理念与精神；首先可从作品皱褶所产生的物理性，明确地展现物派的“实体”与“非想象”；接着进一步的呈现（皱褶）受放均衡的物理法则 - 自然而平衡；最后他透过画布上明显与隐微的皱纹、折痕、凹凸，展现拓扑空间薄膜浪潮，探究物理定律中的膨胀、收缩、平衡，若说未来宇宙无垠的空间有收缩的可能（尽管自宇宙大爆炸以来它正在迅速扩张），“空相 - 皮肤”画布的可塑性记录着艺术家创作时身体拉力与张力，如同宏大世界的缩影 - 每个皱纹与折痕恰如宇宙中的一花一世界。

Phase of Nothingness
- Skin: SEKINE Nobuo Solo Exhibition
Asia Art Center is pleased to present "Phase of Nothingness - Skin: SEKINE Nobuo Solo Exhibition" opening on Jan. 12, 2019. The exhibition will be held at Asia Art Center Taipei I, featuring twenty of the newest compositions and selected artist's drawings created since 2016. The exhibition will open on Jan. 12, 2019 (Sat.) 4pm; and it will be on view till Mar. 3, 2019.
Mono-ha was founded by Sekine Nobuo along with numerous Japanese and Korean artists between 1968-1970, and is now regarded as one of the most iconic modern art movements in post-war Japan. The movement has been championed for its inauguration of a uniquely Asian art form, manifested through the revitalization of Eastern philosophy in respect to its critique on Western culture.
位相 - 大地 Phase - Mother Earth 1968/2012
Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1942, Sekine Nobuo received his B.F.A. in Painting from Tama University of Arts in 1968; furthermore, he would later compose the groundbreaking work "Phase - Mother Earth" in the same year. With the presentation of this work and its underlying concept, Sekine Nobuo pioneered a new pathing of art expression - the unification between human and nature mediated through concentration of physical substantiality. The composition marked the beginning of Mono-ha, and remains influential to the developments of earth, installation and minimalist art in Asia.

The upcoming exhibition by Asia Art Center presents Sekine Nobuo's newest series "Phase of Nothingness - Skin", selected artist's drawings will also be displayed alongside their completed works, providing a comprehensive insight into the artist's creative process. For a half-century, Sekine Nobuo's oeuvre has explored the artistic possibilities of Mono-ha and its ideological root in Zen philosophy. By integrating topological theories (study of the properties of space) into his artistic experimentation, Sekine's art examines the intrinsic quality of matter under different phases of transformation. In topological thinking, a two-dimensional plane is merely a three-dimensional form expanded as broad and thin as possible; therefore, a painting is merely a membrane form of a sculpture.

The works subject the audience to visualize various topological phases, provoking them to question the interrelation between the matters and themselves as the transformation takes place. The "Phase of Nothingness - Skin" series perpetuates the three fundamentals of Mono-ha. Firstly, the physical and non-imaginary substantiality discernible upon the wrinkling surface of the works. Secondly, the visualization of time and the natural balance between opposite forces of tension. Lastly, the manifestation of topological phases through the creases and folds on canvas that reflect the spatial waves in the membrane of the universe. Recent cosmology suggests the possibility of contraction of the universe in future (despite the fact it is rapidly expanding ever since the Big Bang). In which case, the elastic canvas of "Phase of Nothingness - Skin" truly is a microcosm of the macrocosm. Each wrinkle and fold records a pinch of the universe.
