L@九月｜群展：站出来，出头鸟/ Standing Out, the Outstandings
你好，唐人街！64A Bayard Street, New York NY 10013
自 2020 年 1 月在布鲁克林威廉斯堡的原址举办首场展览以来，LATITUDE画廊一直保持着繁忙的展览和活动日程。今年4月初在经历了亚裔种族游行之后，创始人周诗卉女士第一次萌生了把画廊开到历史悠久的纽约唐人街的想法。为促成此次画廊的拓展，画廊与Global Friendship Exchange Foundation （a US-based 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization）建立了战略合作关系。在经历了数月的奔走、选址和装修、筹备，我们终于可以高兴地宣布：
画廊在纽约曼哈顿唐人街 64A Bayard Street, New York NY 10013 开设了新展厅，即将开启全新的旅程。
通过搬迁，LATITUDE画廊携已有的艺术家群体寻求和致力于与纽约唐人街已经充满活力的艺术社区团结在一起，并迸发出更多可能性； 画廊会发起并维持与以亚裔为主的艺术家、策展人和艺术专业人士们的互动过程。例如解锁新址之后我们即将与纽约先锋NFT机构ONBD进行深入合作；开拓数字艺术领域。为唐人街蓬勃发展的艺术界做出贡献并注入多样性，亦对纽约当地东西方文化交流起到助力。
作为新旅程的首次展览，LATITUDE画廊友情联袂亚洲创意基金会，展示十位亚裔艺术家的绘画、雕塑、视频和许多其他媒介的作品。由Global Friendship Exchange Foundation和画廊主理人周诗卉监制，独立策展人韩弘正亲自策划，展出的作品都是在不同角度上具有当代亚裔艺术家的时代性，同时也从艺术的角度契合的展现了LATITUDE画廊的长远愿景和文化使命。

“枪打出头鸟，刀砍地头蛇。”这句出自于《中华圣贤经》的古语，本是用来劝诫世人做事不要锋芒毕露，否则容易反招横祸。但是在美国社会当下对亚洲少数族裔的不公待遇中，“枪打出头鸟”似乎变成了一个充满讽刺的真实写照。
社会学家威廉.彼得森在1966年为《纽约时报》杂志撰写的 "成功故事：日裔美国人的风格 "中第一次提出了“模范少数族裔 "这一概念。彼得森认为亚洲人在美国之所以能获得经济上的成功得归结于所谓的同化主义；换句话说：只要我们亚洲人对支持西方殖民主义和帝国主义有贡献，我们就允许留下来。不幸的是，在这种强加于人的 “模范少数族裔”谎言之下，美国的亚裔人群顺理成章地化作了“出头鸟”。亚裔群体成为了种族冲突里首当其冲的替罪羔羊，被动地维持着不平等的种族阶级制度，恶循环式地维护着白人至上主义，最终进一步地瓦解了有色人种之前团结一心的可能性。
“站出来，出头鸟"，是由LATITUDE画廊友情联袂亚洲创意基金会，汇集十位优秀迥异的亚裔艺术家的群展，本次展览由独立策展人韩弘正策划。
在这个探究亚裔历史和身份问题的展览中，陈塞以酷儿视角展示欲望荣辱，圈里圈外；谈思远遥望宇宙星河，俯瞰殖民主义的历史遗产；方媛解构黑白线条与几何，以东方的底蕴诠释抽象与自由；刘衛重新审视好莱坞的东方幻想与虚构；陈荣辉演绎最平凡的牵手和最胆战心惊的行走；容国贞抨击西方物化亚裔女性的残忍和资本主义的堕落；邱天瑀像素化全球唐人街的兴衰腐朽，潮涨潮落；张璐跨越时空动情低吟祖辈的诗歌；李相龙童趣似地戏谑语言的力量与荒谬；Wednesday Kim感叹身处他乡如履薄冰的坚定与脆弱。
十位亚裔艺术家勇敢地夺回话语权：不再做杀鸡儆猴的受害者，站出来充满自信地做那出头鸟，不是为了独唱高歌，而是为了飞出一片自由的天高海阔。

Vincent CY Chen (b. 1993, Taiwan) is a New York-based artist who works in sculpture and installation. He creates multimedia displays that negotiate shame and desire with work that allures with saturated colors, curvaceous forms, and illumination. He is a co-founder of De:Formal, an online platform dedicated to promoting artists who work with mediums under-recognized in the conventional gallery system. He received his BFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in 2015, and his MFA in Studio Art at New York University in 2019.

His work focuses on different dimensions of China’s urbanization and industrialization. He has published two photobooks, Freezing Land, and Land of Ambitions, and exhibited both in China and internationally.

方媛（1996年生于中国深圳）是一名生活并工作于纽约的艺术家。她于2019年获纽约视觉艺术学院的视觉与批判研究学士学位，并获得罗德家族最高杰出成就奖和多项奖学金。她的作品曾在中国和美国展出。她目前正于纽约视觉艺术学院攻读并计划于2022年取得纯艺术硕士学位。
方媛的绘画实践始于一种对外界环境的自我抽离。成长并生活于高速发展的都市使她持续性地感到周围环境投射给自己的焦虑与不安，对她而言，变化是一种真实而生动的可触碰的物理经验。她的创作凝聚了对永恒这一概念的探求，即捕寻处于无尽与所谓尘世之间的幻象。她让不同层次的空间彼此交融，构建层叠并行着的不可能的空间，凝视着三维空间中模棱两可的形体如何在平面上渲染，以及那些无形但显然存在并依附于彼此的关系之间的交织。
Fang Yuan (b.1996, Shenzhen, China) is a visual artist who lives and works in New York. She graduated from the Visual and Critical Studies Program at the School of Visual Arts (B.F.A.) with Rhodes Family Award for Outstanding Achievement among with many other awards. Her works have been widely exhibited in the United States and China. She is currently a M.F.A. candidate at the School of Visual Arts who is expected to graduate in 2022.
Fang's practice began with a self-detachment from the external environment while maintaining a rebellious posture of exile. Throughout her upbringing, she has been constantly experiencing a lack of belonging and displacements projected by her surroundings. For her, change is a real and vivid physical experience. Her practice embodies the exploration of the concept of eternity, that is, to hunt for the illusion between infinity and the so-called reality. She allows different levels of space to blend with each other, constructing impossible spaces stacked in parallel, gazing at how ambiguous shapes in three-dimensional space are rendered on the plane, and the interweaving of the intangible but apparently existing and dependent relationships between each other.
Kacy Jung is a Taiwanese visual artist working with photography, photo-sculpture, and performance, based in San Francisco. Before she began her journey in art, she was working in biomedical science for many years when she decided to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an artist. Since then, she continuously investigates how socialization shapes the construction and reconstruction of identity. The subject often intertwines with the manipulative nature of the capitalist system, the anxiety of being part of the disappearing middle class, and her immigrant experience in the USA.
Kacy's works have been shown/awarded internationally. She is the acceptant of the Harlan Jackson Diversity Scholarship from the San Francisco Art Institute and Headlands Center for the Arts Affiliate Artist Program. Her works have been shown at Berkeley Art Museum, De Young Museum in California, Hastings College in Nebraska, and multiple galleries and private collections in the USA and Taiwan. She is currently participating in a two-year-long Studio Artist Program at Root Division Gallery in San Francisco, CA, USA.
Wednesday Kim is an interdisciplinary artist and a co-founder of De:Formal Online Gallery. She is from Seoul, South Korea and is currently based out of Alaska. Kim works with a mixture of analog and digital media including 3D animation, video, performance, installation, print, and sculpture. Her work is informed by personal experiences and human psychology; she derives imagery from nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and childhood trauma. Furthermore, she portrays the absurdity of information-saturated contemporary life in a surrealist fashion through wordplay, Wikipedia, voyeurism, and witticism.
刘卫（出生于香港）目前工作和生活于纽约。她透过摄影、录像、物件和装置探索身份构成当中的多重关系。她试图探索历史、虚构叙事、个人记忆和虚拟性如何在身份凝塑的过程中互相碰撞并产生影响。她的研究和素材来源范围从个人及历史档案，到电影图像、流行文化以及数码媒体。她取得伦敦大学金匠学院，纯艺术学士学位、以及美国哥伦比亚大学，艺术学院，视觉艺术硕士学位。她的作品被M+博物馆（香港）、休斯顿美术馆（美国）及Alexander Tutsek – Stiftung 基金会（德国）等收藏。作品展出于欧洲、亚洲及美国，当中包括丹麦Kunstmuseum Brandts（2016）、上海当代艺术博物馆（2018）、香港Para Site艺术空间（2015，2018）、香港大馆当代美术馆（2019，2021）、台湾关渡双年展（2018）、日本越后妻有大地艺术祭（2015）、美国休斯顿美术馆（2019）以及日本横滨三年展（2020）。

In his body of works, he remixes images, texts, and 3D model materials from pop culture, social events, and the internet. XiangLong's projects are full of sick jokes, make fun of cultural mistranslation and the cultural discrepancy between China and the West. He uses digital collages, painting, and screenshots exposing the fractured social mores of racism and western settler violence.
