藝術家書籍的物質性及其感知經驗 Materiality of Artists’ Books and Their Perceptual Experience

2024潮州街龍－Collection!藝術講座 2024 Chao Zhou Street Solitaire – Collection! Art Lecture

藝術家書籍是什麼？
藝術家書籍是以出版物形式呈現的藝術作品，融合視覺、文本、印刷裝幀與民眾閱讀習慣的感知，打破傳統的紙張形式限制，成為藝術家們探索自我表達、挑戰敘事結構和重新定義書籍本質的實驗場域。

Collection!藝術講座邀請PAPER MATTER主理人－蔡胤勤，介紹藝術家書籍的特性與發展脈絡，帶大家認識藝術家是如何將創作理念透過書籍形式轉化為新的美學經驗。本場講座，胤勤老師也會將藏書帶來現場，透過實際的翻閱、觸摸等感官體驗，探索書籍作為藝術形式的多元可能。

What is an artist’s book?
An artist’s book is an art piece presented in the form of a publication, merging visual elements, text, printing, binding and the public’s reading habits. It breaks away from the traditional constraints of paper, becoming an experimental platform where artists explore self-expression, challenge narrative structures and redefine the essence of books.

Collection! The art lecture invites PAPER MATTER founder, Tsai Yin-Chin, to introduce the characteristics and development of artists’ books, offering insights into how artists transform their creative concepts into new aesthetic experiences through the medium of books. During the lecture, Mr. Tsai will bring part of his collection on-site, allowing participants to explore the diverse possibilities of books as an art form through tactile and sensory experiences.

講座將從「藝術家書籍」（Artists’ Books）這一媒介是如何通過物質層面來影響感知經驗出發，將探討書籍的物質性如何在材料選擇、製作技術與設計結構中得以體現，將書籍從純粹的視覺藝術轉變為涉及多感官的互動對象，並探索這種物質與感知的交互作用如何在概念層面上深化藝術的表達，成為藝術家理念的一部分，特別是在當代藝術語境中反思物質性與感知經驗之間的關係，並討論其對於藝術家製書未來發展提出一個潛在啟示與構思方法。

The lecture will begin by discussing how the medium of “artists’ books” impacts perceptual experience through its material aspects. It will explore how the materiality of books is expressed through choices in materials, production techniques, and design structures, transforming books from purely visual art into multi-sensory interactive objects. Furthermore, it will examine how this interaction between materiality and perception deepens artistic expression on a conceptual level, becoming a part of the artist’s ideas. In particular, it will reflect on the relationship between materiality and perceptual experience in the context of contemporary art, offering potential insights and approaches for the future development of artists’ books.
