M+ presents Lee Mingwei: Guernica in Sand, a large-scale installation and performance to be staged in The Studio. Taking Pablo Picasso’s iconic 1937 masterpiece Guernica, painted in response to the violence of the Spanish Civil War, as its departure point, Lee Mingwei recreates this painting in sand—a material that connotes impermanence and instability. This meticulously crafted work references the indigenous and religious traditions of sand paintings found around the world. Towards the end of the display, a live performance will take place in which visitors are invited to walk on the sand painting. Four performers will then gently sweep the sand in spontaneous movements that simultaneously destroy and recreate the image anew.
The performance is scheduled to take place in late June. Please check M+ webpage closer to the date for additional details.
M+於展演空間呈獻「李明維:如沙的格爾尼卡」,展出大型裝置並舉行展演。畢加索於1937年創作出經典之作《格爾尼卡》,描繪西班牙內戰的殘酷境況,李明維以此為出發點,利用沙粒這種象徵無常和不穩定的物料來重現該畫作。這幅精心繪製的作品參照了在世界各地的原住民和宗教傳統中出現的沙畫。臨近展覽尾聲,將會上演一場現場展演,邀請觀眾在沙畫上行走。其後,四名表演者將隨意移動,輕掃沙粒,在摧毀畫作的同時,也創作新的圖像。
表演預計於六月下旬舉行,詳情將於M+網站公布。
