Nobody could positively confirm whether these premonitions about the end of the world are true or false. However, through certain viewpoints and verbal expressions, what has formerly been an issue proclaimed by so-called “ prophets” are now being expanded into areas of mass media, social event, art writing, cultural seminar, and other channels in the public domain, whereby collective discussions, imaginations, and concerns for issues of mutual death, apocalypse, extreme catastrophe, and end of world redemption are taking place. “World is over?” is instigated by “2012 End of Days” predictions and attempts to transcend preexisting concepts and logics via art languages and perspectives. The exhibition is based on the duo-concept of the “end of days ” and the “future”. The exhibition consisting of these two elements is also suggesting that perhaps whether or not the end of days is upon us is based on the mentality and action of people today. A slight change in the mindset could ultimately alter the future of the world. The title of the exhibition, “World is over?”, is intended to act as a warning and to call upon people’s collective awareness and for them to discover the focus and important context this exhibition is attempting to present. 13 artists from Second Soul are included in this exhibition. Through the use of universal visual language and in conjunction with multimedia, interactive projections, graffiti works, installation art, sculptures, prints, and the utilizations of other diverse media, these artist have created “the world in 2013” based on different experiences and approaches. Through the spiritual profoundness in these visual works, the objective is to encourage people to be more sensitive and to become more active in facing our current existence. 参展团队简介 Second Soul Graphic Arts Society，2009年创建於台北，是一个集结了图像设计师、涂 鸦艺术家、界面设计师、影像动画家的新秀艺术团队。这群图像艺术家的共同理念是，视 「创作」为每个人的「第2灵魂」，将创作与生命合而为一，透过「图像」创作来阐扬他 们的生活理念和生命活力。 Second Soul也意谓着「重生」，他们致力将图像与不同产业领域结合，一是赋予生活产 品全新的面貌和某种创意精神，藉以提升它的艺术价值。二是让图像从2D平面延伸到3D空 间，积极介入人们的日常生活，使创作在社会环境中大幅开展，让世人具体感受图像美学 的力量。 Curatorial Team Introduction Second Soul Graphic Arts Society is an artist collective based in Taipei formed in 2009. The group is comprised of artists of diverse backgrounds; including graphic, graffiti, interface design, and animation. The mutual concept behind this collective is to see the act of “creating” as their “ Second Soul”, and to integrate creativity with life so their life philosophies and vitality are expressed through images. Second Soul is also symbolic of the idea of “rebirth”. These artists are dedicated to cross-disciplinary integration through their visual works, and the collaborations are conducted by giving everyday products a whole-new appearance and a kind of creative spirit, to create added-value through art. Additionally, they are also devoted to extending visual works from two-dimensional formats into three-dimensional realms. By actively being involved in people’s everyday lives, the mission of this artist collective is for creative endeavors to unfold in our social environment and for people to tangibly experience the power embodied in the aesthetics of images. http://www.mocataipei.org.tw/blog/post/27572618 --
