呂清夫:始亂終棄的公共藝術
出版時間:2017/11/08 00:02
台灣的公共藝術往往短命,公部門對於花錢搞建設興致勃勃,對於費神作維修常常興趣缺缺。圖為10年前落成的台中光之塔,沒幾年就燈具損毀、結構體蒙塵。資料照片
呂清夫/輔仁大學應用美術研究所教授
從紐約的自由女神到哥本哈根的美人魚,從新加坡的魚尾獅到八卦山的大佛,都是永久性的公共藝術。看到自由女神你就知道人在紐約,這就是公共藝術的作用,沒有人會把它撤除或移走,所以常言道,人生短藝術長,那件哥本哈根的美人魚高度只有1.25公尺,卻已經放了104年,也是全世界被合照最多的雕像。但在台灣的公共藝術來說,往往相反,藝術家還健在的時候,作品早已灰飛煙滅!
我們的公部門對於花錢搞建設興致勃勃,對於費神作維修常常興趣缺缺。台中市中清路、環中路交界的「光之塔」10年前落成,斥資2000萬元,沒幾年燈具損毀,結構體蒙塵,看起來像個廢墟,日前都發局還說將爭取經費把它拆掉。彰化縣政府花費近千萬元興建紀念詩人賴和的詩牆,結果挨批像個破銅爛鐵,縣府已經花費上百萬元把它搬走。最近又有宜蘭傳藝中心的公共藝術「心手相傳」,由於經營者換人,這件作品已經「身首異處」,部分拆除,部分保留,以巧妙應付法規的要求。作品本身花了將近500萬元,其所以面臨拆除,原因也是經營者覺得管理太過麻煩,故欲去之而後快。
桃園機場曾耗資650萬元設立公共藝術「洗塵」,由42根不同角度的光柱所構成,但是後來因為築路的關係,竟被悉數拆掉!二高西湖服務區為了公共藝術總共花1500萬元,但其中的「歷史之詩」由於材料失當、不易保養而被拆除,另一件「歷史之石」因為妨礙了店家做生意,也被移走,這些小命不保的公共藝術在台灣真是罄竹難書啊!
交通部可說是全國公共藝術最大的買家,單單二期航站的公共藝術就高達1億5000萬元。由於我曾經是評委,我在交通部開會時,曾據理力爭,反對拆除,但是往往孤臣無力可回天。
藝術莫不萬古常新而永遠為人類之瑰寶,所以公共藝術花的錢往往是天價。但我們如果把公共藝術看成公共設施,不作長久之計,不能慎始善終,那麼幾百萬幾千萬元的花費就是天大的浪費了,要之,公共藝術要像古蹟一樣,要能提升大家的美感與歷史感,如北捷台大醫院站的「蓮花持」或圓山公園的林靖娟紀念像等是。但在台灣卻常被認為只要保存5年,真是滑天下之大稽,這樣短命的作品請廣告公司做一做就好了,不須大費周章。原來20年前之所以設定5年僅是暫定,考量我們的作品可能還不成熟,所以不留太久,並聲稱將來可望長長久久,但是事隔多年,大家忘了當年的誓言嗎?這個健忘使得興辦機關身兼了公共藝術的拆除大隊!
文化部啊,主管雖然物換星移,但還是應該忠於早年的理想吧!請趕快修法,讓法規能有明確的規範,讓大家知道公共藝術是百年大計而不能亂動,亂動就會吃上官司,讓大家一開始就會避免作品的粗製濫造或放錯地方,同時也不會為花錢而花錢了。

時尚運動鞋創新使用羊毛面料 助推羊毛價格創新高
彭博商業周刊 / 中文版新增了 2 張相片。
【即時頭條】時尚運動鞋創新使用羊毛面料 助推羊毛價格創新高
羊毛在Adidas超酷的Ultra Boost等運動鞋上的新用途幫助推動羊毛價格創出新高。而全球最大羊毛產地的供應商預計,2018年羊毛價格將進一步上漲。
代表該國2.4萬放養戶的澳洲羊毛創新公司(Australian Wool Innovation Ltd.,簡稱:AWI)表示,中國等傳統市場生活水平的提高,加上運動休閒類服飾對天然纖維的需求以及供應的有限為羊毛價格的上漲創造了一場「完美風暴」。澳洲供應全球約90%的服裝用羊毛。
AWI行政總裁麥格勞(Stuart McCullough)1月16日接受採訪時表示:「羊毛價格只會走高,不可能下降。」羊毛價格2017年上漲了30%。在1月16日升至每公斤18.22澳元後,有望上探每公斤20澳元(約合15.92美元)。羊毛價格1月17日收於每公斤18.17澳元。
麥格勞表示:「中國是澳毛的最佳消費者,他們一直都是好的製造商,現在也具備了自己消費羊毛的財力。中國消費者喜歡好東西,而羊毛在奢侈品開銷行為中永遠都不可或缺。」
麥格勞稱,中國是最大的消費國,澳毛出口的約78%銷往中國。意大利是第二大買家,時尚是拉動歐洲需求的最大推手。但麥格勞同時表示,最大的增長空間來自美國。美國人均澳毛年消費只有300克,相比之下,中國、歐洲和加拿大的人均消費為1公斤。
AWI將通過2018年晚些時候的電視廣告宣傳攻勢來推動羊毛纖維在美國市場的使用。廣告宣傳的物件是一位所謂的「Y先生」,這位先生注重負責任的原材料採購和產品壽命,此次廣告攻勢重點宣傳戶外和休閒服飾。
失去的市場
麥格勞表示:「美國市場並非新的市場,而是一個失去的市場,我們必須改變美國人對羊毛的觀念,他們總認為羊毛會引起搔癢,是你奶奶織給你的不耐洗的東西。」
隨著越來越多的消費者追求天然纖維的質感,與Adidas一道,Nike 和Puma也開始在運動鞋和運動服中添加羊毛成分。這些品牌「認識到新一代人想知道羊毛從哪裡來,又到哪裡去。」

由於澳毛產量自2010年以來基本保持穩定,因此原料供應的制約將給澳毛的價格帶來支撐。澳洲農業與資源經濟科學局(Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences)預計,2017年-2018年度澳毛出口量將僅增長4%至446000公噸,受價格提升影響,出口額將增長20%,至43億澳元。

“The Turpitude of Charles Dodgson”:A Concise History of Modern Painting
昨天27日是Alice in Wonderland的作者 Charles Dodgson的生日,我買到2本日文慶祝其150周年的書。今天,無意間翻到Herbert Read 的名著A Concise History of Modern Painting (英文,1985年重印):其實,我1971年讀中譯本時,作者Herbert 爵士過世了 (1893~1968),所以1974年之後的版本,都是其繼承人託人補的.....
最讓我驚奇的是有張類似"名片"的畫作:上面寫著
: “The Turpitude of Charles Dodgson”。搞不清楚它,書的內頁似乎沒說明。

Modigliani and the Russian beauty: the affair that changed him ...
今天讀倫敦書評,前2段:
Modigliani would be out drinking in Paris when a sudden desire came over him to remove his clothes, flex his naked body, and give a performance of Dante’s Divine Comedy. If it wasn’t Dante then it was something else – he could recite dozens of poems from memory, even while drunk, a skill that served him particularly well when he met the young Russian poet Anna Akhmatova in 1910 and determined to win her heart. She was on her honeymoon at the time but Modigliani was undeterred. They soon began an affair, absconding to the Jardin du Luxembourg to sit in the rain and intone the poetry of Verlaine. “We rejoiced that we both remembered the same work of his”, Akhmatova recalled later.
Modigliani captured her on paper, nude and perpendicular and as long in body and round in stomach as a butternut squash. And he drew her clothed and sphinx-like on a chaise longue. He is said to have sketched her sixteen times in all. Their relationship did not last, but Akhmatova took the drawings back to Russia and hung one on her wall. When we meet her in Martin Puchner’s vivid new history of writing, she is twice divorced but still reciting poetry, this time her own and to friends in Leningrad in the 1930s. Modigliani’s is one of the rare sheets of paper left in her home. She has burned the drafts of her latest poems after committing them to memory and is anxiously entrusting them to a group of women to remember until the Great Purge is over, and it is safe enough to write them down. Her devastating Requiem was finally published in Germany in 1963 and in Russia in 1989.

Manet - The Man Who Invented Modern Art
French artist Edouard Manet was born #onthisday in 1832. This portrait of aspiring Parisian actress Jeanne Demarsy showcases the artist’s lively printmaking style. Manet is sometimes called ‘the first Modernist and the last Old Master’ – he was inspired by the works of artists from history, but his style was revolutionary enough to be shunned by the establishment of the day.
Have you seen the original painted version of this portrait in Getty Museum?
