关于 UP Gallery绝版影像馆 2F放映室
自2024年起，艺廊携手LG合作启动一个新的项目，旨在突显移动影像和录像作品的重要性。在整个年度内，我们将于艺廊二楼独特且私密的空间中举办五场艺术家个展，与一楼专注于摄影之展览同时进行。艺廊的使命在于扩大时间和空间的维度，提供观众在隐密且更能深思熟虑的环境中深度参与艺术家的艺术实践。

UP
Gallery is pleased to present artist Wu Chia Yun’s solo exhibition, "on the
way home," at our 2F screening room. Since her duo exhibition with the
gallery in 2019, where we showcased her photography and mixed media works:
"Lonely Island," we are excited to highlight another significant
aspect of her artistic practice: her film works. Notable works such as "darkness
within darkness" and the recent work "Five, Four, Three, Two"
exemplify her talent, with the former exhibited at the National Taiwan Museum
of Fine Arts and the latter being a finalist in the Taipei Arts Award in 2023,
presented as a film installation at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum.
In this solo exhibition at UP Gallery, Wu brings together films that have rarely been shown together, featuring three fiction films: "The Farewell" (2013), "A Falling Dust" (2017), and "Portray a State" (2020). Over the past decade, Wu has consistently employed minimalist drama and dialogue to create narrative works. Initially focusing on cinematic language and mise-en-scène, she has recently honed her skills in scriptwriting and directing actors. Through these directorial practices, she seeks to establish her personal perspective and imprint within film aesthetics. Wu’s films often commemorate a person or an event, exploring the future within regret and questioning freedom and nihilism in tranquility. We sincerely invite you to view these films with us.
About 2F
Screening Room @ UP Gallery
A new initiative commenced in 2024 through collaboration with LG, designed to
accentuate the significance of moving images, videos, and film works. Over the
course of the entire year, within an exclusive and intimate space located on
the 2nd floor of the gallery, five distinct solo exhibitions featuring artists’
works will coincide with 1st-floor exhibitions focused on photography. The
gallery aspires to broaden both temporal and spatial dimensions, providing our
audiences with the opportunity to deeply engage with artistic practices that
demand extended contemplation and more intimate settings.
*We extend our appreciation to LG for their sponsorship, enabling the impeccable presentation of works through The LG OLED evo 8K 88inch Prestige Series television.
