展览「伏击」以充斥生活的物件作为生存的度量标准，艺术家倪灏以新创作之雕塑装置探讨权力丶速度丶暴力於国际地缘政治乃至日常生活中所呈现的多样体制及权力结构。

同名作品《伏击》（2019），观众得以在参观的过程中从扭蛋机取出信用卡，塞入ATM提款机改装成的瞄准器，射向由倪灏建构充斥各种现成物的办公室场景。玻璃帷幕的办公室场景成为牢笼般的封闭系统，参与者在游戏当中成为了宰制者而与自身熟悉的工作场所成为敌对状态。在射击游戏中，倪灏尝试重新排列生产活动丶劳动异化丶消费行为的顺序关系，并透过摧毁目标与物件的暴力与快感，以另一种极端的方式排解了恋物的情结，並填补了个体欲望在资本主义游戏规则中，因资本与劳动关系导致的差异与失落。

展出作品另涵盖一件空气压缩机为动力的管乐器装置，搭配与音乐家合作的表演影像，利用声音来思考动作丶速度丶力量及其影响；此外也会展出一系列由近代武装冲突衍生之雕塑装置，以探究及臆测政治暴力的纯粹形式。

Ambush

Ambush departs from the relationship between manufactured objects and our conditions of living. Artist Ni Hao creates a new body of works in multi-disciplinary practices including recent sculptures, installation, painting, and video works to underline the interchanging issues among power, violence, and acceleration in the sense of constantly changing geo-political structure on a global scale.

The installation work under the same exhibition title allows the visitors to redeem a stack of fake credit cards from a capsule toy vending machine and shoot them with an injection mechanism, which were previously fixed up by Ni Hao from an old model of ATM. The targets are objects and products in a regular domestic office setting, surrounded by large glass panels which make the scene a literal cage in the museum gallery. In the shooting game, the visitor becomes a sovereign overlooking and against the stage where the visitor always involves. Hi Hao reverses the consequences of labouring, alienation, and consumptions in the theory of Marxism. The excitement and violence generated in the experience seal up the discrepancy and the sense of being lost, in which people are estranged by the labouring and capital world.

Structure Study V is the latest work of an ongoing series called Structure Studies, which are performances and sculptural installations that explore the relationship between sound, sculptures, and histories of violence. In this work, various cheap and mass-produced wind instruments from both the east and the west are heavily manipulated and woven into a large steel structure. The surface of the steel structure is treated with artificial sweat and urine to induce rust that will grow over time. The sound of the sculpture is programmed to be randomized through a series of timers.

About the Artist

Ni Hao was born in 1989 in Hsin Chu City, Taiwan. He received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2011 and an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 2014. He now lives and works in New York and Hsin Chu. Ni Hao investigates power structure, consumerism, and violence aesthetics in his work by utilizing various mediums such as sculpture and video. His practice constantly provokes political metaphors or personal memories behind seemingly familiar objects. Ni Hao's work has been featured in exhibitions at Rockland Center for the Arts, West Nyack; Boston Center for the Arts, Boston; Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei; New Bedford Art Museum, New Bedford; and the Queens Museum, Queens. His recent exhibitions include Aujourd’hui aura lieu at the Gwangju Biennale Pavilion Project, Gwangju, 2018; Strategic Ambiguity at Peligro Amarillo Gallery, Puerto Rico, 2016-2017; and Light Studies at 18th Street Arts Center, Santa Monica, 2016. His solo exhibition titled Ambush is currently on view at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. In 2019, he will have two upcoming solo exhibitions in Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, and t293, Rome.
