ADAS workshop editorial
Discussed about the symbol of bubble gum:
And we updated our editorial:
Who are you? How do you exist? Is your social milieu you? Is it your place within society? Or is it a sum of your experiences?
Elodie Carrel, MC Llamas, Ching-Yu Wang and Yan Wang constitute an interdisciplinary group of artists exploring Self-Existence.
In POPPED, you will find a pink jumpsuit, wide eye, a mirror, Polaroids activated through abstracted painting and weaving. The repetition of photographic self-portraits questions the value of self-existence. A frame, neon lights, a hanger, clothes, paper and trash realize the attempts from abstraction to concretion in another series of photographs or performances.
Carrel’s subconscious reflection through name repetition, inner and outer conflicts and drawing without meaning are used to explore the Absurd. The use of weaving and colourful paints on the polaroids of close-up portraits is MC’s way of representing the self through abstract figuration. The blurry uncertainty in Ching-Yu Wang’s photos questions viewers’ thoughts about the meaning of existence. Finally, the attempts of filling up a frame and objectifying the body in Yan Wang’s photography work and performances explore the futility of trying to evidence her existence.
Lecture
I like a tutor’s explanation about how we can be more creative within a deadline. There’s a playground without boundary and the kids only play in the center while when there’s a boundary, they spread. It’s very vivid and true.
