HSI’s unique interpretation of art formation and the idiosyncratic application of diverse space and atmosphere. The entire exhibition has enumerated different states of the overlapping, misplacement, and disassembly of HSI’s private memories, personal imagination and real life. In the five exhibition rooms on the museum’s second floor, HSI’s splendid and diversified creations have been categorized into five implicitly related themes: “Image in Memory,” “Universe,” “Home,” “Imagination: Beginning of the Body and the Animal,” and “Circus Maximus.” Among them, the "Image in Memory" leads the viewers to read and connect the memory elements provided by the artist with non-narrative contents and a three-channel video. “Universe” combines several abstract geometric shapes in an understated dark space. This design presents the artist’s imagination of the city and the universe as well as his hesitation for the uncertain future. “Home,” with red as its key color, is originated from the artist’s childhood fantasy and extension of scenes in ordinary life. “Imagination: Beginning of the Body and the Animal” echoes the artist’s change of career from spatial design to artistic creation. The artist deliberately uses blueprints often seen in spatial designs, which remind the viewers of rational planning, to delineate his free-willing imagination and personal memory. “Circus Maximus,” installed in the high-ceiling space of Room 201, presents the artist’s persistent pursuit of an ideal horse image in recent years. Seven horses of different materials, forms and themes, such as Horse of Knowledge, Horse of Love, Gallop of the Zodiac Steed, reveal the development of the artist’s diverse thinking and skills in art expressions. In addition, the artistic texture and aesthetic taste shown in the works also reflect the artist’s ambition to challenge, break through, and construct his self. The success of this exhibition is first and foremost due to the artist HSI Shi-Pin’s exceptional artworks and also the creative team’s dedicated hard work. The planning and execution of the exhibition and related educational events carried out by MOCA Taipei staff members are also greatly appreciated, and also the help provided for the exhibition installation and public services by museum volunteers and part-time workers. Moreover, we are deeply grateful for supports from private corporations: Soka Art Center, Lang Gallery, Modern Art Gallery, Luminance Art Space, Association of the Visual Arts in Taiwan (AVAT), Taiwan Hermès, Accton Art Foundation, and J&NINA. Lastly, long-term supports from Epson Taiwan, for their projector equipment, and Win Sing Development, for educational programs, are always tremendously appreciated. Because of the devotion and encouragement from everyone, despite our limited space, material and human resources, MOCA Taipei is able to once again present a creative and wellreceived exhibition!

台北當代藝術館 Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei

席時斌的創作,從日常景物、結構與形貌出發,結合古

MOCA, Taipei has planned several double solo exhibitions promoting the idea of “dialogues and comparison between exhibitions” since 2006. We have invited artists with different nationalities, backgrounds and artistic approaches. These double solo exhibitions displayed on the first and second floors of MOCA have presented various aspects of the contemporary art. Not only have they allowed the artists to communicate with each other, but they have also encouraged the viewers to develop the sense of art appreciation through the works. In 2014, MOCA held the double solo exhibitions for the Taiwanese artist HSI Shi-Pin’s The Memory Palace and the Chinese artist Kao Lei’s WINDOWSKY. Both artists used diverse media to create their works rooted in their cultures and life experiences because they wanted to make the audience understand: the nature of contemporary art was in fact the mental attitude and the creative practice inspired by the cross-reference among the sociocultural evolution, aesthetic concepts, and free creative thinking.
