JeannotSchwartz的台灣行腳：
瑞士藝術家(現居奧地利，所以有時我稱他是奧地利藝術家) JeannotSchwartz 將於 3 月中旬來台。他自 1989 年作為交換藝術家起，曾數度到台灣參加藝術活動。
這次為期半個月的時間，將有三次座談暨展演，歡迎有興趣的朋友參加。在此，特將他協同台灣相關單位擬定的計畫轉貼如下，並將英文原稿附貼於後：
________________________________________________

1989年，瑞士藝術家Jeannot Schwartz透過巴塞爾的克里斯多夫‧瑪里安基金會策劃的工作室交換計畫，而與台灣藝術家陳幸婉互相交流，得以來到台灣。

由於莊普的發想，遂在1900年與陳建北在伊通公園畫廊舉行聯展。此後，尚諾‧許華茲數度返台，其中在2001和2003年，參加了高雄貨櫃藝術節。

許華茲將談及掌中鏡頭，這種裝置配合視覺和方便操控的功能，經由敏感的手指尖，可以調塑光影成為立體律動的影像。經由這樣的鏡頭，透過網路，他製作了伊通公園畫廊的藝術家群像。在放映時，我們可以測知運用掌中鏡頭時的抓握姿式。

3月25日，晚7；00 / 台中 Z 空間 台中市五權西路一段七一巷三弄二號
主題：陳幸婉的水墨藝術 On Chen Hsin-wan’s Ink Works.
主講：尚諾‧許華茲 Jeannot Schwartz


(水墨紙本，陳幸婉，2002)

從1989到1990年間，瑞士藝術家 Jeannot Schwartz 有六個月的時間待在台灣藝術家陳幸婉的工作室。直到2004年陳幸婉過世，這兩位藝術家有幸在台灣、巴黎、以及奧地利提洛山區等地相會。

他們兩位在繪畫上共同的興趣之一是：在宣紙上使用毛筆和水墨。他們倆，協同陳柏良，一起交換這方面的觀念，並互相鼓勵嘗試進一步的實驗。後來陳幸婉才出乎大家的意料，由巨幅的多媒材拼貼轉向使用畫筆的水墨作品，並將熱情浸淫其中。

為了這次的藝術講談，Jeannot Schwartz 挑選了一些陳幸婉的水墨作品，以鏡頭捕捉它們。他將以影像呈現其結果。

該放映將提供我們深入自身感知的機會。藉著最少的介入，許華茲邀請我們，在面對影像刻畫的陳幸婉之筆墨作品時，去測試我們自己身體的姿態，由而以新的眼光觀看她的作品。

3月27日，下午2：00 / 台灣藝術大學，譚力新教授邀請
主講：JeannotSchwartz

為期一年的時間，Jeannot Schwartz 在因斯布魯克的廣告設計學院主持一個創作實驗室。這實驗室的裝置很少。為了把這困境轉為正面的利用，所有嘗試的實驗包含了大比例的人為演練。往往包括以玩具般的物品改善平衡(特技者一般)的技術，或同時以雙重性動搖單一性觀念。

這場演講包含錄影放映和協同的運動。參與者是積極的融入，這融入的過程將提供參與者隨後討論的論點。

Artist Talk, JeannotSchwartz, Z Space Gallery, Taichung

Between 1989 and 1990, the Swiss artist Jeannot Schwartz spent sixmonths at the studio of the Taiwanese artist Chen Hsing Wan. Until the earlydeath of Chen Hsing Wan, in 2004, the two artists on various occasions met inTaiwan, Paris, and in the Tyrolean mountains.

One of their joint interests concerned painting, the use of the brushand of Chinese ink on rice paper. Together, and in consultation with, Chen BoLiang they kept exchanging their ideas on the subject and encouraging eachother to undertake further experiments. Thus Chen Hsing Wan, to the surprise ofeverybody, turned away from her large-scale text collages and immersed herselfpassionately in works in ink applied with a brush.

For the artist talk, Jeannot Schwartz has chosen a number of Chen HsingWan’s works on paper, capturing them on film. The result he will present in theform of a video.

The projection offers the opportunity to turn inwardly on our ownperception. By way of a minimal intervention, Schwartz invites us to test ourown body stance against the video depicting Chen Hsing Wang’s brush works andto thus see them in a new light.

Lecture by Jeannot Schwartz at National TaiwanUniversity of Art, New Taipei City, invited by professor Lihsin Tan (moderator)

For a year, Jeannot Schwartz has overseen a creative lab at the WerbeDesign Akademie, a school for advertising design, in Innsbruck. This lab isonly sparsely equipped. In order to counteract this situation in a positivemanner, experiments have been put to the test, which entail a large portion ofmanual work. Often they involve toy-like objects that promote equilibristskills, or also duplications undermining the idea of singularity.

The lecture comprises joint exercises and videos. The participants areactively involved and in the process provide the object for the subsequentdiscussion themselves.
