親愛的藝文小組姊妹們您好:

近來在台北「花博流行館」展出的全台最大沉浸式光影體驗「會動的文藝復興」,讓大家觀賞到來自36間博物館、美術館與私人收藏的24位文藝復興時期大師所創作的兩百餘幅經典名作。這個最高處有九層樓高的「流行館」是全球第一座PET寶特瓶綠建築,全名是「逺東環生方舟」,乃利用152萬個回收寶特瓶製成的寶特磚蓋成,本身頗有可看性。

這項展覽分為四個部份:1)走過文藝復興的歷史長廊,以1:1原尺吋複製經典名畫;2)以科技演繹傳統的光之藝廊:50公尺的長廊兩側以LED高解析度燈箱展示「肖像」「宗教」「神話」三大主題的近百幅畫;3)約25分鐘的聲光秀提供觀者540°的沉浸式體驗,最好席地而坐慢慢看達文西、拉斐爾、米開朗基羅、波提且利、卡拉瓦喬五位大師的名畫;4)最後壓轴是進入一個充氣球屋,仰觀佛羅倫斯聖母百花大教堂穹頂上瓦薩里的濕壁畫,加上特效音響與影片所呈現地獄到天堂的五層「末日審判」。有關展覽的介紹,請參閱上面的連結。

本次活動感謝本會榮譽會員Anna Lisa Giglio Ghini夫人推薦大家來體驗這場精彩的聲光秀,並親自為十位會員做英文導覽、另安排30具中文語音導覽機,讓大家自由觀賞。這項展覽有些有趣的互動式設計,可以先在手機上下載marq+ App掃描:Raphael’s “the School of Athens”, Botticelli’s “the Birth of Venus”, Caravaggio’s “Medusa”這三幅畫,看看有什麼噱頭;或者跟穿運動衫的Mona Lisa勾肩搭背拍照。在此愛心叮嚀:觀賞沉浸式的展覽,或許會覺得流動的光影讓人眼花撩亂,主辦人員提醒大家不妨坐在地毯上看。本活動名額為40人,敬請大家在331日(週四)前回覆本電郵報名,名額有限、報名請早,謝謝您的參與。

日期與時間: 47日(週四)上午9301200

集合地點:圓山花博流行館「會動的文藝復興」售票口

費用:(門票與10份英文子母機暨AR體驗卡費)每人500元,65歲以上(需出示身份證件)

交通:捷運紅色淡水線「圓山站」1號出口,步行5分鐘可達(「流行館」鄰近中山北路三段)

Dali & Mucha’s Special Exhibitions at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall

中正紀念堂兩大特展:超現實主義「天才達利」與新藝術運動「永恆慕夏」

Time & Date: 13:30pm 16:00 pm, Tuesday, March 1st, 2022

Venue: Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (No.21, Zhongshan S Rd., Zhongzheng Dist.)

Fees: NT$ 500 (includes: Tickets & Audio guide devices for two exhibitions)

Meeting Point: 13:30pm at the entrance for Dali Exhibit (Gallery 2-3 on the ground floor)

Dear Members,

While most of us remain grounded yet dream of taking flights to see the great museums abroad in the age of the epidemic, we are truly fortunate to be able to see the most notable Spanish Surrealist Salvador Dali and Czech Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha- two iconic artists’ works being shown just across the hallway from each other. Dali’s exhibition includes a short film he created in collaboration with Walt Disney, sculptures, stage designs, and the 100 watercolors he painted inspired by the Divine Comedy. You can also catch Dali’s famous 1979 oil painting: “In Search of the Fourth Dimension”, which features the “melting clock” that Dali is most known for.

(For more info: https://www.salvador-dali.org/en/dali-foundation/)

Alphonse Mucha’s “Timeless Mucha- Mucha to Manga: the Magic of Line” exhibition consists of five sections. There are more than 200 painting, posters, decorative panels, pastels, drawings and illustrations selected by the Mucha Foundation. A distinctive feature of Mucha’s style was his use of long tendrils of hair, flowers, plants and flowing garments to portray women. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements and designs. For more info: https://www.alfonsmucha.org/biography.html

We are very thankful to collaborate with our dear Consulting Advisor Ms. Lisette Lou to combine these two exhibitions in one visit, and there will be English & Chinese guided tours for both exhibitions. Because these are two separated exhibitions, we will need time to arrange the audio devices; we kindly ask you to follow your group closely and not stray too far. As some of the exhibition rooms are not spacious, this visit is limited to 30 persons on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please RSVP to this email no later than February 24th (Thursday). Thank you so much, and Susan and I wish you all a very Happy Lunar New Year holidays.

Kind regards,

Susan Su Wang

「瘋顛、夢境、神曲-天才達利」展覽非常豐富,包括有與迪士尼合作的動畫短片「命運」、雕塑、舞台設計、達利花了近十年研究創作的「神曲」詩篇全系列100幅水彩畫作首度全數來台展出,以及畫家1979年的名畫「尋找四度空間」的融化時鐘畫等總計121件作品。有關西班牙「達利基金會」的資訊請見上面連結。

親愛的「藝文小組」會員們:

「故宮」重磅特展「鎮院國寶-范寬、郭熙、李唐」三件巨幅立轴,分別代表了北宋「巨碑式」山水畫的典範,上次三寶合體展出,算來已是十年之前。這次特展,同時也精選了九幅受三家畫風影響,創作時間橫跨元代到民國的名家山水畫,各幅均呈現了後人汲古創新所受的啟發。

建議會員們行前,花點時間觀賞相關的介紹短片(請看上面連結)。若是時間允許,相鄰展間的「溥心畬書畫特展」也頗值觀賞。非常感謝本會諮詢顧問陸仲雁女士同意擔任英文導覽,以及故宮資深志工曾淑芸女士為我們中文導覽,何其榮幸能聆聽到她們精闢的解析,謹致誠摯謝忱。

日期與時間: 1110日(週三)下午130330pm

親愛的「藝文小組」會員們:

「鹽田千春:顫動的靈魂」延展至10月17日,讓我們得以安排這場難得的參觀活動。疫情期間,大部分導覽志工尚未復工,並且為符合空間人數規定,此次活動不便安排中、英導覽。館方安排有專人帶領我們先到三樓,聽美術館專家解說鹽田千春作品,再一起到一樓觀展。

在「北美館」的官網上有館長王俊傑先生的影音導覽,也有鹽田本人親自來台佈展的創作理念分享等等很豐富的資訊;請大家行前點閱這些影片,最好在手機上下載「北美館APP」,可站在作品前聆聽中文解說。本次活動僅有25位名額,收費200元,敬請大家在927日(週一)前以電郵回覆。

疫情難測,若不幸管制升級,本活動即配合取銷。

「藝文小組」蘇怡 劉仁薈敬啟
