August 2010 Artist: Shih-Pao Lin
Dream Collection Project
「集夢計画」,
Dream Collection Project, is the latest work of New York
based artist Shih-Pao Lin’s “ The Collecting Hart” series.
Lin has been working on this “The
Collecting Hart” series for over 20 years. The name of the
series stands for the artist’s aim to bring people’s hearts
together by creating an artwork with a collaboration of artists
and people. The artist call this process, “behavioral art,”
which he tries to bring people closer to other people, people
closer to art, and art closer to people. The process of
creation as well as communication with people is important parts
of his artwork. This is the style of expression and is the art
he developed in the U.S.
Works in “The Collecting Hart” series
includes: “Christmas Love Tree,” created with 200,000 pacifiers
in 2006 and “Gate of Wisdom“, created with 300,000 donation of
pens, which was exhibited at the Aichi World Expo, Japan in
2005.
Shih-Pao says: “a life is a drama and a drama
is a life,” and “dream is a force to move human spices, and so,
the evolution starts from a dream.” The artist believes that
each individual is born with a dream and live to achieve that
dream. Imaging, seeking, and achieving one’s own dream is a
3-acts-drama called “life.”
A dream emerges from a daily life. For an
artist, the dream comes to life as a language of the art (that
is an art work). However, as an artist, Shih-Pao knows how
difficult it is to achieve one’s dream. He also knows that there
are people who fight a difficult game with determination to
achieve one’s dream.
Shih-Pao says that he had been producing his
art in a vision “art is more beautiful than a life.” However, he
never fully satisfied with one or two dimensional art. He felt
that something was missing. He realized that he wants to create
a film, a film that portrays more than his past visual art
works. A film merges human life and arts. Everyone who involve
in the filmmaking is an artist. It is not a story or a script
that inspired the artist to make a film, because the story will
evolve during the process. His inspiration is a dream and people
who have a dream.
The Dream Collection Project is to
discover people with strong wills to achieve their dreams,
gather supporters, and provide a stage to showcase their
dreams.
This world is driven by the force of people’s
dream. Thus, the Dream Collection Project is a condensed
version of the world and the project possesses infinite
possibility.
The Dream Collection Project will be
possible not only with one’s efforts, but with the corporation
of one’s family, friends, and coworkers. The story of the human
spices has begun its journey. It will need tons of support from
everyone. The artist ask those who have achieved their dram to
help their successors. He asks the predecessors to give chance
that they were given.
The artist has been portraying combination of
logics and emotions as behavioral art. In order to achieve this
Dream Collection Project, dream (emotions) and logics goes hand
in hand.
