展覽簡介
展覽簡介 Exhibition Introdution
「後人類」(Post-human)作為一個學術名詞，源自1988年史蒂夫．妮可思(Steve Nichols)所發表的〈後人類宣言〉(Post-human Manifesto)一書，儘管學術界和藝術界對於「後人類」一詞之定義仍然分歧，但這個詞語已普用於形容現代人日漸分歧、複雜的生命期許和身分認同；台北當代藝術館2013-14的跨年大展《後人類慾望》，邀請留英研究此議題的陳明惠博士擔綱策劃，共邀請25組國際藝術家，從三個大的面相: 〈複製人〉、〈跨性人〉、〈改造人〉來鋪陳和詮釋「後人類」這個目前不斷發展而值得關注的新興藝術課題。
本展的策劃理念和內容架構，首先回應了1990年代初期，女性主義哲學家唐納．海若威 (Donna Haraway) 有鑑於科技數位與人工智慧的發展，而將六O年代出現的「賽伯格」(cyborg)名詞和概念，延伸為一種融合了有機體和機械物之生命體的想像和論述，從中，人類試圖找出各種打破自然與文化界線的新方法。事實是，當代人已不再擁抱單一之價值觀，而是活在多重的、異質的、且自我矛盾的不同系統之中，本展的三個面向，反映了這諸多系統的拼貼、組合與運作模式，且已經延伸到生命樣式這個原本屬於造物神話的領域。
本次邀展的25組國際藝術家包括: 派翠西亞‧佩斯尼尼(澳洲)、維多利亞‧維斯納與塞德哈斯‧瑞瑪克利斯蘭(美)、劉世芬(台)、林珮淳(台)、喬安娜‧德夏柏(美)、凱文‧萊恩(英)、安娜‧旦蜜翠亞(英)、碧玉(冰島)、黃贊倫(台)、真壁廉(日)、歐仁‧卡茲與艾歐蘭特‧樂兒(澳洲)、安娜‧瑪斯得與蜜雪兒‧拔克(澳洲)、馬汀‧萊舍與安德魯‧哈吉爾(英)、李小鏡(台)、瑞蒂‧泰克塞森(馬爾他)、費爾‧塞耶(英)、安‧賴(挪威)、崔旴嵐(韓)、曾鈺涓(台)、莎雅‧沃爾法克(美)、楊納(中)、珍妮‧普若芬特(英)、郭慧禪(台)、伊莉莎白‧金/理察‧奇蘇布雷爾/彼德‧多德(美)、以及詹嘉華(台)；這些藝術家們的作品集結，建構了本展內容的豐富性和面貌的多樣性，相當有助於我們拋除人類中心論的立場，以前瞻的思維和眼光，探討以下未來性的議題:一、後人類時代的身體概念與性別意識；二、後人類時代的慾望指涉與實踐模式；三、後人類時代的生命繁衍與死亡超越。

Exhibition Introduction
The term “Post-human” comes from Post-human Manifesto by Steve Nichols, published in 1988. Although the definition of “Post-human” remains undecided within academic and artistic circles, the term has become very common in describing the divergent and complex life expectations and identities of 21st century people. Post-humanist Desire is both the last and the major exhibition of this year at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Taipei, which is curated by Dr. Ming Turner, who has done extensive research on this topic in the UK. A group of twenty-five artists have been invited to participate and show their works in the exhibition, to help interpret the continuously developing and noteworthy theme of the “Post-human,” under three headings: the “cloned human,” the “transgendered human,” and the “transformed human.”
The content and structure of this exhibition first responds to the feminist philosopher Donna Haraway’s reflections on digital technology and the artificial intelligence of the early 1990s. She extended the meaning of the “cyborg,” a neologism and concept first seen in the 1960s, to include a combination of both organic and artificial life in which humans seek new ways to break the boundaries between nature and culture. In fact, people today do not adhere to any single value, but live in varied, heterogeneous, and inconsistent systems. The three aspects of this exhibition present the amalgamation and operation of these systems, and even touch upon the aspects of life formation that were originally heard in creation myths.
The group of 25 artists include: Patricia Piccinini (Australia), Victoria Vesna & Siddharth Ramakrishnan (USA), Shih-Fen Liu (Taiwan), Pey-Chwen Lin (Taiwan), Janaina Tschäpe (USA), Kevin Ryan (UK), Anna Dumitriu (UK), Björk (Iceland), Zan-Lun Huang (Taiwan), Len Makabe (Japan), Oron Catts & Ionat Zurr (Australia), Anna Munster & Michele Barker (Australia), Martin Rieser & Andrew Hugill (UK), Daniel Lee (Taiwan), Ritty Tacsum (Malta), Phil Sayers (UK), Ane Lan (Norway), U-Ram Choe (Korea), Yu-Chuan Tseng (Taiwan), Saya Woolfalk (USA), Yang Na (China), Jane Prophet (UK), Hui-Chan Kuo (Taiwan), Elizabeth King, Richard Kizu-Blair & Peter Dodd (USA), and Jia-Hua Zhan (Taiwan). These artists’ works contribute to the variety and rich content of this exhibition, questioning our views of anthropocentrism and guiding us to discuss the following issues pertaining to our future: 1. Post-humanist body concepts and gender consciousness; 2. Post-humanist desires and practices; 3. Post-humanist procreation of life and transcendence of death.
