我們都是藝術家 是女性，在這個我們開始連結的空間—台北國際藝術村，創作這個作品。

從各自的藝術實踐中對話，照映到我們的生活，透過藝術我們找到連結。

We are artists, we are women. In the space we start to know each other, we create this work. We dialogue from individual artistic practice, mirror to our lives, we find connection through art.

以我們⻑期以來的對話為基礎，這次作品再與其他女性藝術家/藝術工作者對話。作品試圖照映藝術家的生活與其藝術實踐的關係。我們聆聽個人的創作經驗、探詢一個人如何看待「藝術家」這個詞彙、身份，討論自己的創作，關於擁有追尋自我完成的自由。她們如何存在於一個空間，如何發聲，如何擁有話語權。這些（或許）（曾經）都不是容易的事。在這個觀看、探訪當代女權實踐的過程中，也發現了理解與表達的文化與世代差異。

Based on our long-term dialogue, in this work we talk to other women artists. Seeking to explore inspiration and creative practice, our connections to place and ourselves, the work offers a mirror up to life of the artists. We listen to personal histories of creative practice, of the discovery of the right to occupy space and call oneself ‘artist’, to speak and have a ‘voice’, an artistic expression, the freedom to pursue one’s own life…and knowing this isnot easy. In the process of looking at and interviewing the practice of contemporary women rights, we also find cultural and generation differences ofunderstanding and expression.

分享、對話與其他藝術家的文字、話語都成為這個作品的靈感來源。然而語言是危險的、有權力的、挑釁的、有力量的。自由與選擇，脆弱與勇敢，缺席與在場，可見及不可見，發聲及沈默，孤獨與社群，連結與私密，個人及政治......等等，都是啟發這次創作的字詞，同時也是訪問中時常被提及的主題。

Sharing, conversations and women artists’ words,voices all become the inspiration of this work. However, language is dangerous, provocative and powerful. Some of the words that have inspired this work are; freedom and choice, absence and presence, visible and invisible, voice and silence, solitude and community, connection and intimacy, the personal and the political.
