拆船檔案[shipbreak_dossier]

在印度古吉拉特邦的阿朗，坎達爾岡卡進行了長達十年的藝術田野與檔案研究，紀錄印度拆船業與拆船廠中勞動者，和巨大船艦的離海著陸。這個計畫的部分作品，曾於2016 年在挪威 Bergen Assembly 藝術與研究三年展上展出、2019 年在 Sea Change - Colomboscope Biennale 和 2020年在 Abu Dhabi Warehouse 421 展出。此次台灣展覽，將展出藝術家在此印度拆船業研究計畫上，具代表性的重要作品。

🔹講者｜Ranjit Kandalgaonka 坎達爾岡卡（孟買藝術家）

 

坎達爾岡卡的藝術實踐主要聚焦於城市研究。他的藝術計畫大多建立在長期研究，重新思考並挑戰傳統的研究模式。cityinflux、Gentricity、build/browse 和 Stories of Philanthropic Trusts 等計劃，描繪了城市再發展中的脆弱性，記錄了再發展的時程與「盲點」，呈現一個城市正在分崩離析的樣態。對印度填海造地與推測都市發展戰鬥歷史的研究，產出了如「填海中的島嶼」和「無人認領的七島」等計劃。獲獎與藝術駐村經驗包括 Majlis 視覺藝術獎學金、UDRI 獎學金、Leverhulme 駐村、哈佛大學 SAI 駐村、Atelier Prati 駐村、Seed Funding Award - Welcome Trust and aGasworks/Wellcome Collection 駐村。

Contested Waters: Kaohsiung + Taipei Exhibition Workshops

 

🔶 Overview

The Contested Waters exhibition will take place from April to June 2025, with parallel exhibitions taking place in Taipei and Kaohsiung. The project examines how, in an era of intensifying geopolitical tensions, water is increasingly territorialized, militarized, and capitalized—resulting in states of impassability. Featuring artists from Asia and Europe, the exhibition emerges from long-term field-based artistic collaborations. The two workshops, organized in collaboration with the International Center for Cultural Studies at NYCU, explore how artistic research grounded in years of fieldwork can expand into multispecies inquiries and multi-modal anthropology.

[shipbreak_dossier]

 

One of Ranjit Kandalgaonkar’s decade-long projects focuses on recording ship-breaking practices at Alang, Gujarat, in India. This time we bring some of the key works created in this project to Hong-Gah Museum, including the epic-length, hand-drawn scroll and a sound-plus-video work created at/about the shipbreaking yard. Parts of the project have in past also led to the exhibitions ‘Shipping & the Shipped’ – showcased at the Bergen Assembly, Art & Research Triennial, 2016, ‘Sea Change’- Colomboscope Biennale, 2019 and ‘The Stonebreakers’ at Warehouse 421, Abu Dhabi in 2020 and 'The Edge Of Land' at Art Jameel in Jeddah/Dubai in 2024.

 

 

🔹 Date: Sunday, May 18, 2025

🔹 Time: 14:00 – 16:00

🔹 Venue: Hong-Gah Museum丨11F., No.166, Daye Rd., Beitou Dist., Taipei City + Simultaneous Online Session

🔹Speaker: Ranjit Kandalgaonka, Artist, Mumbai

 

 

Ranjit Kandalgaonkar lives and works in Mumbai and his art practice currently comprises a lens directed at the urban context of cities and scapes at the mercy of new infrastructures. Most of the projects are research-intensive - their nature varied and seek unique opportunities to rethink and challenge conventional modes of research to offer new modes of dissemination. Some of these long-term projects attempt to unlock historical and contemporary data through placing the work in the context of an unseen social history. Awards & grants include Majlis Visual Arts Fellowship, UDRI Fellowship, Leverhulme Artist Residency, Harvard University SAI Artist Residency, Atelier Prati Print Residency, The Wellcome Trust Seed Funding Award and a Gasworks Residency.
