Artist Nick Dong Collaborates with Mentors for “Autumn Happening” Exhibition

2023 Oct 17

A golden, circular-and-square-turntable adorned with a profusion of flowers slowly rotates, brought to life by music and shifting light. Immersed in this atmosphere, viewers find themselves involuntarily drawn into a state of calm.

Artist Nick Dong reflects,

“A flower blooms for the briefest moment, yet in that fleeting life it brings forth immense beauty.”

“Autumn Happening” marks the second collaborative exhibition between Dong, his mentor Chiang Hsun, and renowned artist Tseng Yong-Ling. This latest work is a synthesis of Dong’s signature metalwork, light and shadow, magnetic levitation, and vocal elements. Designed to guide viewers into a heightened state of awareness and spiritual elevation, the piece offers an experience of healing, tranquility, and peace.

方圓交錯的金色轉盤，上頭鋪滿各式花朵。隨著音樂和光影帶動，觀眾的心情被迫平靜下來。

藝術家董承濂受訪時，提到：

開花是為了要短暫的生命，再擠壓出很美的東西來。

董承濂與跟恩師蔣勳、曾永玲二度攜手辦展、主題"秋日和"。本次作品為其擅長的金工與光影、磁懸浮、聲樂等元素揉合結晶，意在使觀眾體驗意識層面和精神狀態提升的過程，藉此帶來療癒、寧靜與和平。
