COLOUR pocket book Project |
嗨!我的名字叫黃華真,剛滿27歲,是個畫家,有時候也做一些畫以外的作品,比方說現在。 事情是這樣的。我正在做一本書,由顏色和故事構成的書,主題是26歲。想邀請你成為這個計劃的一份子,在書裡分享你的顏色與故事。 參與的方法很簡單,只要用一個顏色形容你的26歲,然後告訴我為什麼。 那你可能會客氣地說:好像蠻有趣的,但可惜我今年並不是26歲啊。 沒問題!!這本書需要的就是你!! 以26歲為準,書分為三個部分: 回憶 (已過26歲) 期待 (未滿26歲) 在路上(正值26歲) 因此無論現在的你是幾歲,都可以有一個關於26歲的故事,和一個代表它的顏色。你可以用任何方式形容那個顏色,最後我會在印刷用的cmyk色相中盡量找到一個符合的顏色,轉譯成hex記錄下來。 ■然後我猜你可能也會想知道為什麼是26歲。 無論你是不是已經經歷這個年紀,或者可能你正踏在這條路上,這是個意志開始成熟的過程,跟每一個人有關。26歲只是一個開始。它在生命的道路上仍屬年輕的歸類,但比較懂事了。有了一些經驗,做過一些決定。這個年紀的年輕人開始離開學院、踏入社會,為自己的生活負責。他們可能驚覺從前所說的未來已經就在眼前,正努力適應;他們可能正一點一滴地放棄夢想;也可能才正在尋找夢想。 在我的這個世代,大部分的人都擁有碩士的學歷,就業的年齡上移。對於創作者而言,26歲左右常常是真正必須下決心的時刻。在台灣的就業環境及現實中,單靠創作確實難以支撐生活;並且在華人文化的覆蓋之下,我們總會希望有一個實質的成績可以給家裡一個交代,因此這往往也是很多人決定放棄的年齡。曾經我也是這樣想的,曾經我也為了成為一個懂事的大人而考慮放棄,因為那是我所能想到最好的辦法。 但在這一年我得到一個好大的禮物及一盞燈。我自己到了一個離家很遠、幾乎是未知的地方生活一段時間。那段時間我遇見了一些人並且試著開口與他們交談,搜集他們的故事。我想要知道,這將要改變我一生的時期對別人來說又是怎樣的意義。無論是未來的期望或是過去的記憶,他們的故事可能關於一件重要的事、一段深刻的關係,或是一個夢想。我在那當中發現了全世界的愛慕跟傷心都是一樣的,也是在那之中,明白我們都需要盼望,並且相信自己值得更好的未來。我們一生的年日都是有意義的。 在北歐我看見許多不同年齡卻都從來不曾放棄或停止做夢的人,也看見了許多超乎想象的景色——於是我明白了,創作是一項志業而非職業。只要願意,無論如何與經濟平衡,它都是一個不需停止的行動。我們其實從來不能創造什麼,但透過藝術與創作行為,我們得以更多認識自己和這個世界。而在這之中,或許我們也就能看見,有些我們認為重要的什麼是能夠穿透時間與空間被留存下來的。 ■那為什麼是顏色呢。 一開始的時候只是找件事能接觸更多顏色,讓自己開心——好在芬蘭度過一個真正的冬天;另外,也是一個強迫自己在異地與人對話的好理由。我反省又期許,這是會是多麼蒙恩而值得紀念的一年,於是定了26歲作為以顏色描述的主題。這麼一來它是關於時間與空間。當我遇見正值不同年紀的人們願意提供我他們的形容,這本顏色小書就會充滿回憶、期待或是在通往路上的心情。 確實我正搜集這個美好的差異:比方說有人說他的26歲是深灰色的。那年冬天他收到了喜歡的女孩送的深灰色圍巾,每次見面都圍著這條圍巾,然後他們戀愛了。 然後我會問,是哪一種深灰色呢?他可能指著路邊的某台腳踏車或者誰正穿著的毛衣。我喜歡這樣不精準甚至不着邊際的描述,那讓我發現更多的想像力,並且感覺很浪漫。 這個計畫從芬蘭開始,它跟著我經過挪威、丹麥、冰島、柏林、巴黎、威尼斯,再一起回到了台灣。旅程中我遇到許許多多幫助我的人,有些是知道再也不會見到的過路天使,有些則成為了朋友。在請人分享的同時,我也希望將自己所遇見的祝福分享成為別人的祝福。再過幾天2013年就要結束了,我決定讓這個計畫跟這充滿恩典的一年一起告一段落。在今年結束之前,如果你願意,是不是也可以給我一個顏色,和簡單的為什麼?關於你的回憶/ 期待/ 或者正踏著的路。 如果你願意,現在就把想到的顏色和故事填寫問卷告訴我吧! 謝謝,這本書會因你而豐富 :)

HELLO!
My name is Huang, Hua-Chen. I’m an artist, basically a painter, just hopped into my 27-year-old. This blog is to share the project I’ve been doing among this year. With the theme 26-year-old, I’m making a book which composed by colours and stories. I would like to invite you to be in a part of this book. IT'S TRULY A EASY WAY TO MAKE IT: WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO DESCRIBE YOUR 26-YEAR-OLD BY A COLOUR, AND SIMPLY TELL ME THE REASON. ‘sounds interesting, unfortunately I’m not 26.’ You might kindly answer. IT DOSEN’T MATTER! WE NEED YOU! The book will combined with 3 parts: Memories (by the people who’re older than 26) Expectations (by the people who’re younger than 26) On the way (by the people who’re just be 26) Therefore you are able to have a colour and a story of 26-year-old in any present age. You can depict the colour in any personal way, and I will find the closest one from the hex code. ■I guess you’d like to know WHY 26? No matter if you’re already experienced the age, or perhaps you’re just on the way, in my opinion, it’s an age that leads you to matureness. It’s a beginning. It is, however, young on the life path. People on the age might have some experiences, have made some decisions. They probably not coved under the academy systems anymore, they start to live in reality and take responsibility of their own. They might find that they are facing the future intensely that used to be in mind; they might give up the dream slightly, or perhaps, just found it. In Taiwan, in my generation, people mostly own diploma of master degree and start to get job much more latter than pervious ones. To stay to keep making art or not, this age is, mainly the key year making up mind. It’ s a hard thing, as we’ve been beneath Chinese culture. We got this conception ‘to get a job’ to relief our loved ones. As matters stand, many emerging artists decided to leave at this age. I used to think of to get mature as an adult because it seems nothing else to do. Nevertheless, in my own 26, I’d been to somewhere far away and experienced a lot of priceless things. Encountering some folks, trying to have a conversation with them, collecting their stories. The days have changed my life, due to the reason I would like to know how about the others. I read their expectations and memories those are so much about an important thing, a bounding relationship or a dream. From them I realized that the crush and the heartbreaking are always the same in the world. So we need hope. To believe that we deserve a better tomorrow, and nothing' pointless in life. When staying in north Europe, I met plenty of the dreamers who’re in different age yet never stop dreaming, and saw a lot of landscapes those are out of my knowledge. Thus I learned that there’s no need to give up working. Vocation is not a option but a decision. Arts are gifts that we’ve gotten to get know ourselves and this world. Moreover, to make us to be understood. By it I imagine we’re discovering something, something truly essential that enable to last through time and space. ■Then WHY COLOURS? In the beginning, it was only for seeing colours, cheering myself up in the first white winter of my whole life in Helsinki; in the meantime would be a nice reason to force myself to talk with people in somewhere unfamiliar. The topic associated with the age 26, that i have been reflecting and awaiting at the same time. Therefore the book would be about time and space. The more people with different ages i met, the more stories about remembrance or expectation i got in pocket. Certainly I am collecting this lovely difference among personal perceptions: for example, someone told that her 26-year-old was deep blue. In the year she got her dream job, the blue was the colour of her working uniform. Then I would ask, what kind of the deep blue? ‘ the colour of sky in winter night…it’s seemed almost black.’ she might depict. I am so fascinated by this way of describing. Romantic is the imprecision. Even physically it is impossible to find the same colour from different monitors/ printers/ people’s eyes, most of the time I would find a colour that the teller approved from my free app, translate it from CMYK or RGB to HEX, finally list it into my pocket book. This project started in Finland, it’s been with me passed Oslo, Iceland, Berlin, Paris, Venice, and now backed to Taiwan. Just made up my mind to end this project with my graceful 2013. There’s a couple of days left. Before that, if you’re willing, I am inviting you to provide me a colour of your 26, about your memory/ expectation/ the mood on the way. formal name/ CMYK/ RGB/ HEX/ or any personal way to describe it, welcome to join this book. [email protected] SEND ME YOUR COLOUR AND STORY NOW! and don’t forget to let me know your name, nation and present age!or if it's a bit hard to start, here's a simple questionnaire ! Thank you, the book will be warm and abounding because of you. :) Cheers. |
