我們嘗試耕耘一種不同的產業文化-寫在安卓藝術兩周年 Strive for nurturing a different industry culture-Special article for MSAC’s 2nd anniversary



文/李政勇 Andre Lee

安卓藝術成立兩週年了,從兩年前在內湖推出的首場中國年輕藝術家周軼倫的個展,到此刻於新生16空間中呈現的「遊園‧史金淞」,從一位27歲藝術家的大膽推薦,到另一位43歲藝術家的系統呈現,我們所作的一直是在亞洲當代藝術市場中尋找最值得推薦的藝術家和展覽。
It has already been 2 years from our opening show, Zhou Yilun solo in Neihu to current Pavilion Garden: Shi Jin Song in Xinsheng 16 conception space. From a bold movement of recommending a 27 year-old young artist to a systematic deployment of works by a mature 43 year-old artist, what we always do is to search artist and exhibition worthy of the name among the Asian contemporary art market.

很多人好奇地問起:安卓是否已經從原來的藝術顧問公司轉型成經營畫廊空間的屬性?我想,應該說安卓從去年10月起進駐到新生16後,已經不再單純從事原先設定的藝術收藏顧問服務,同時成為一個具有實體展覽空間並長期經營藝術相關項目的專業平台。我們依舊持續地服務長期委託安卓進行系統性地當代藝術收藏規畫的客戶,但同時我們策畫的展覽也因為空間的存在成了例行工作,換言之安卓藝術已經從一個和收藏家共同合作的藝術顧問公司轉型成與藝術家、收藏家、工作團隊共同建構一個具有高度願景與理想企業文化的視覺藝術平台。
Many people are curious about our functional transformation. Are we really becoming a gallery instead of an art consulting agency? I think, I should put it this way; MSAC has expanded to a full service art platform with a solid exhibition space since we moved to Xinsheng 16 conception space last October. Meanwhile, we still provide consulting service for our clients but then exhibition execution has also become our regular job. In other words, MSAC has undergone a transformation from the art consulting agency collaborating with only collectors to a visionary art platform slanted on altogether development with artists, collectors, and our team members.   

與收藏家深度互動,建構不一樣的市場

從成立以來,我們一直不間斷地對收藏家和任何喜愛藝術與收藏的人士提供各種有關藝術與審美品味的相關課程,也經常提供收藏家們一個相互交流的平台,創造一種共同學習相互成長的模式來提供收藏家們所需的各種養分。我們深信,唯有透過不斷的耕耘和教育,方能建立起真正屬於我們的收藏家和創造出不一樣的藝術市場。

Establish alternative market by deeply interacting with collectors

Art education is always our main mission from the outset. We design suitable curriculums for all art lovers and collectors to improve knowledge and taste, creating an interactive platform to learn and communicate. We believe only consistent nurture and education could establish a fine and alternative market fits collectors’ needs.

與藝術家密切互動,提供全新的藝術經紀服務

安卓成立屆滿一周年時,我們代理了旗下首位藝術家石晉華。儘管藝術經紀原非安卓成立的初衷,但為了建構更完整的藝術經紀顧問服務,與收藏家和藝術家共同築夢踏實,安卓在腳步尚未走穩前仍毫不遲疑地和旗下代理藝家展開這場共同的尋夢之旅。在藝術家的經紀上,我們從不以金錢上的保障額度來換取藝術家的作品與經紀合約,而是透過安卓藝術的專業和藝術家進行更多互動討論,逐步為藝術家規畫出版重要畫冊與作品集、爭取海外展出機會、擴大收藏市場的基礎,並為藝術家實際開創出一種有機循環的成長狀態,讓藝術家在穩定中生活中全力創作。

Work closely with artist and provide brand-new management service

When MSAC stepped over our first year, we decided to manage Shi Jin-Hua as our first contract artist. Although it was indeed against our original intention, we must take the move to fulfill comprehensive art management and consulting service. We want to build the dream with both artists and collectors. MSAC never trade artist’s works and contracts with a fixed amount of money. Alternatively, we are inclined to project a long-term cooperation strategy through discussion and professional judgments. Ultimately, we will develop an organic and stable environment for artists to work and live a happy and carefree life.

安卓藝術還很年輕,但很高興我們已經和許多優秀中青輩的亞洲藝術家們展開合作,並有一群素質極高的本地藏家願意相信我們並追隨安卓的腳步,在不斷地學習與交流中提升各人對於當代藝術的涵養。我們堅信在當代藝術領域裡,唯有秉持不斷學習與開放的心態,方能在藝術本質的軌道上持續前進。
MSAC is still very young. We are more than happy that we have been collaborating with many great middle-generation Asian artists and trusted by many spectacular local collectors who are willing to grow with us. We firmly believe only with an open mind and continuous learning could keep us moving forward in the essence of art.
