▍Exhibition Concept
" 養生-yang-shen" (the very specific word in our culture;to putoneself on a certain regimen or practices in terms of health) Not only refersto physical health but also implies maintaining a balance betweenthe body and mind. The concept of this artist residency is simply to create anenvironment that stimulates the release of endorphins in the brain, resultingin a sense of pleasure, which is the establishment of " Mei-Lee HealthyInstitute”.
We intend to discuss about the “pleasure”mentioned previously meanwhile going deeper with what’s the importance of thepurpose and authenticity of the messages we have been receiving in our dailylives.
Are we feeling to choose watching thosesensational headlines, exaggerated contents that attracts the general mass andhilarious and absurd sceneries with the ultimate goal of achieving a state of “養生-yang shen” ?
The feelings of pleasure could impact aperson's physical and mental health directly or indirectly. In this exhibition,through replacing the contents of various health products, advertising/medias,newspapers/publications and altering the layouts of interior settings of shopsthat sells articles for daily use as well as its media content to create adeceptive narrative and to generate a space by using exaggerated marketing techniquesand videos that would leads to a uncertain focus.
