Taiwan’s got talent 這是一個極具潛力的舞台，而主角們即將成為明日之星。

由也趣藝廊所舉辦的YES Taiwan-Young Emerging Stars, Taiwan 已邁入第二年，深耕台灣當代藝術的也趣藝廊，以豐富的經驗與經歷，為當代藝術的潛力新秀發聲，積極不斷的開發優質台灣藝術新星，兼具多元、豐富、新視野，在也趣的努力與企圖下，YES Taiwan就是台灣當代藝術潛力新星的品牌。我們邀請您一同體驗由新星們詮釋溫度的對話。

當代藝術面對日新月異的科技技術的發展，潛移默化地改變了當代藝術的書寫方式與表現。透過觀景窗的精準構圖，後製精彩的配色與合成，經營出精準且印象深刻的畫面，連筆觸也如數位照片般平滑，挑戰技巧與科技的界限，提供觀者冷靜、冷調的的觀看氣氛。另一個完全相異的表現，直接捕捉漫天的想像與想法，恣意地、毫無保留地嘗試，眼前的畫布變成了遊樂場，錯誤也有可能變成美麗，濃烈的手感和筆觸，是溫暖的且攝人的。

YES Taiwan所募集的新星，將用這世代的新語言，展開一場溫感和冷感的演出，與觀眾們進行一場新視角、新聲音、新價值的對話。開幕晚會更有樂團Live演出，邀請大家共同參與這場年輕的盛會。

【unsuspected revelations】

 A Solo Exhibition by 郭正雍 Cheng-Yung Kuo

Pacific Culture Foundation’s Art Center is pleased to present 【unsuspected revelations】, a solo exhibition by 郭正雍 Cheng-Yung Kuo, who recently received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  The exhibition will include the COMPETE (Reflections on Reality # 23) from his "Reflection" series photography images. COMPETE, an integration of the Chicago architectural style with strong humanities was favored by President of the United States, Barack Obama, and was displayed in the Washington D.C. Obama’s office when he was the Illinois Senator. 

The works on display used "reflections" as the breakthrough point, using a specific reflection of the medium to translate fleeting moments in life and recorded those eternal lights.  Through the image creations, a bridge for the audience is constructed.  Not only does 郭正雍 Cheng-Yung Kuo records these sights of richness in each focus, but he also condenses the instant of beauty, truth, and fantasy, which invoke both self reflection and idiosyncrasy.

In “Reflection” series, 郭正雍 Cheng-Yung Kuo uses different vehicle to capture images derived from his own personal experience while he was in a foreign environment, battling both linguistic adjustments and the ever - increasing longing for the warmth of home.  These feelings were difficult to express verbally, and they serve as inspirations for 郭正雍 Cheng-Yung Kuo’s works.

Pacific Cultural Foundation’s goal is to enhance the cultural quality of life and promote social harmony, as well as gain the international and inter-regional mutual understanding and friendship as the purpose of processing activities.  This time we are inviting the artist, 郭正雍 Cheng-Yung Kuo, to share his reflections of his life in the United States, as well as his works from the United States back to Taiwan.   Let people see his creation of photographic art, things from a different perspective and things they never could have imagined in 【unsuspected revelations】.

Typhoon Morakot   caused wide-spread damage in southern and eastern of Taiwan on the 7^th and 8^th of august of this year. Although the winds of Typhoon Morakot were not so severe, the storm dropped heavy amounts of rain, especially in Pingtung and Taitung which received record-breaking rainfall. The massive flooding has destroyed bridges and roads, and submerged many homes forcing residents to evacuate and stay in shelters.

Taiwan has officially requested assistance from the international community to help victims of Typhoon Morakot. A group of artists and volunteers in Taiwan is organizing a charity bazaar/exhibition and fundraiser, which will be held on August 22nd and 23^rd, 2009, as part of "ARTTOGETHER‧ rebuilding our homes" event.  Hundreds of artists have been invited to exhibit and sell their work.  Revenues will be used entirely to help victims of Typhoon Morakot. All of the money will be donated to the World Vision Taiwan - Typhoon Morakot Help.  We hope that you will join us and support the relief effort.

 「藝」起攜手‧重建家園

莫拉克賑災及災後重建義賣會

孩提時代的夏天，經歷過大大小小的颱風與豪雨，印象中總是在深夜迷迷糊糊睡意中聽見屋外的狂風暴雨咆嘯，清晨起床後攀著窗看見外面髒髒亂亂的馬路，然後、一切生活恢復正常。泡麵、零食、DVD以及可以睡到自然醒的機會，則是長大後對於颱風天最美好的期待。但是這次不同，每天看著電視新聞的畫面，我們再也不敢想像對失去了家人與棲身之所的災民們而言，這一場颱風會是多麼慘痛的記憶。

 一個莫拉克，傷透了全台灣人民的心。我們都以為風走了雨停了家園還會在那裡，可是這麼多天過去了，被拯救出來的災民苦等不到他們的家人，山裡面還有好多人們站在洪水裡站在泥濘中不斷呼救，我們都以為這已經是最壞了，可是每天每天都還是有那麼多讓人鼻酸落淚的消息傳出。

由台灣藝術圈熱心人士以及藝術家們自發性所發起的「藝起攜手‧重建家園」賑災義賣活動，將於8月22、23日兩天於印象畫廊當代館進行展覽義賣，近百位藝術家捐出上百件的藝術作品，不分你我只為了貢獻出所有，為我們的同胞盡一份心力，義賣所得全數捐贈予台灣世界展望基金會做為此次「莫拉克水患救援及災後重建」使用。我們期待您的雪中送炭，將溫暖傳遞到更多所需的人身上，更希望8月22、23日您能親臨現場，以實際行動支持藝術家們的善舉，幫助受災戶重新站起來。

【倒影≒映象】郭正雍攝影創作個展

  台北市國父紀念館〈翠亨藝廊〉 

車水馬龍的竄流抑或市集人群的喧囂，無論是在澳門、香港、費城、紐約、芝加哥或巴西聖保羅，“城市“透過郭正雍的鏡頭舒展出屬於他們的姿態。這次2009年7月21日~26日在台北市國父紀念館〈翠亨藝廊〉的個展，是藝術家郭正雍首次與國人分享並展示他長期於北美旅居創作的心路歷程。 這次展覽【倒影 ≒ 映象】中作品不但包含了他“倒影系列“和“浪費及節省系列“的作品，郭正雍也將在〈翠亨藝廊〉展出他在芝加哥藝評界屢獲好評的陶藝融合攝影裝置作品。

“倒影系列“是郭正雍間接運用特定的反射媒介轉譯那些生命中稍縱即逝的剎那，在陌生與熟稔之間、具像與虛渺之間、真實與幻想之間, 郭正雍透過影像創作為觀者建構起的橋梁, 使每一個聚焦不僅是紀錄著我們對現實生活中那些被忽略的瑰麗, 更是將異鄉人的生存狀態凝結作一件件藝術作品。

前些時，「倒影」攝影作品之一( Reflections on Reality #23 )，獲得當時伊利諾州參議員、現任美國總統「歐巴馬」的青睞，將該作品公開展示於其華府參議員辦公室。這件作品，是郭正雍搭乘建築之旅遊艇，經過芝加哥河畔即將完工的川普大樓時，利用船上大理石桌面反射，捕捉拍攝到的川普大樓雄偉景觀及同時顯示芝加哥市的建築特色與人文質量。

郭正雍運用這些媒介物來捕捉影像是以一個外來者（台灣人）到異鄉（美國）生活，不但要去學習不同的語言及生活方式還要積極的去融入整個大環境，不管再怎麼努力總是與異鄉有一層隔閡。從學習語言來說，在中英文的轉譯過程中，兩種語言間總是無法完整的表達精確的涵意，甚至有時候無法找到合適的字眼來詮釋想要傳達的情境，郭正雍就將這種體驗轉而應用在倒影系列影像的創作上，呈現每一個特殊情境與場景的觀察及感受，影像是他，是觀者的橋，通往的是意境，是人們對日常生活事物曾未有過的感知及想像。

「浪費與節省」系列的作品，郭正雍也是以一個 [超脫者] 的出發點來面對美國社會問題。他利用拍攝工廠設施及車房拍賣影像彼此的情景對比，來探討美國人浪費資源的不良習慣、節省資源和物品回收再利用的議題。同時觸及以他外來者的身份在拍攝這些主題時，所經歷的受限制與無拘束的攝影經驗之懸殊差別。

郭正雍出生於台灣高雄，高中就讀復興商工，於畢業展時獲得攝影類組第一名，自此他就將攝影當作他捕捉周遭意象及創作的主要工具。

為了要得到更好更專業的藝術教育，軍中退伍後，他遠赴芝加哥。初期先於伊利諾州的南郊大學進行基本大學課程。在校期間他表現優異，郭正雍不僅是學校的資優生之一，還獲該學的獎學金前往香港大學及中國大陸研修。更在2006年榮獲學校提名，成為該年全美全國榮譽學會會員（2006 Phi Theta Kappa All-USA Academic Team)及伊利諾州的資優生協會成員之一。

在南郊大學求學期間，郭正雍積極參加藝術比賽及展覽，分別在伊利諾州大學藝術競賽中連續四年得獎並獲得展出機會。 他的攝影作品也因此逐漸嶄露頭角，並於2006年他申請進入芝加哥藝術學院(The School of the Art Institute of Chicago)，繼續深造。

在芝加哥藝術學院時，他不斷積極地進行創作，產出不少深獲芝加哥文藝圈好評的作品。於藝術學院擔任學校台灣學生會會長時，他更大力推動每年台灣學生的藝術聯展，引荐更多年輕有潛力的旅美台灣藝術家至芝加哥藝文界。2007年時，郭正雍獲得芝加哥藝術學院藝術創作碩士的入學許可，專攻攝影及陶藝創作。郭正雍於2009年取得藝術創作碩士學位，目前他居住及工作於芝加哥。
