藝術家陳哲偉將會介紹他目前正於臺北市立美術館展出的創作計劃：《養神院》，計劃從研究過程如何推進至最終作品呈現。《養神院》是以台灣日本統治時期由國家成立第一間專門安置、監禁、治療精神病患之機構作為引子，審視現代性社會發展進程中無法忽視之矛盾，被自然且不公正排除的對象。以精神病患之處境為核心發展出作品〈遺忘記事〉、〈免疫身體〉與〈雙重肖像〉，試圖透過不同層面及多重敘事，探討被遺忘之個人記憶與顯現系統中隱匿的政治與權力。（編按：《養神院—陳哲偉個展》6月4日～7月24日正於臺北市立美術館F展區展出，建議來見面會的朋友先行看過展覽，因時間關係當日將不播放完整影片。）

The project Yang-Shen-Yuan is named for a psychiatric hospital built in the 1930s during the period of Japanese rule in Taiwan. It was when the government established Taiwan’s first institution for confining and treating the mentally ill, which represented the first restrictions of modern social order in Taiwan. Chen intends this issue as the first part of ongoing observations of psychiatric patients who have been marginalized by injustice in the course of modern social development. Using the unfortunate plights of these individuals as the focus of his work, Chen discusses individual and collective memory from the perspectives of history, society, physical space and the body. His goal is to present the politics hidden within history and the system.
