RIVERRUN, dis/continuous writing on history, memory and spirit

by Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Lin Ping (Preface), Kat Siao (Contributor)

An unconscious undercurrent reflects our deepest emotions and our most magical dream. RIVERRUN comes from Finnegans Wake, the experimental novel by James Joyce, who started from a dreamland and created a different world with his writing. Joyce used stream of consciousness and dream language to create his continuous writing. The subtitle “dis/continuous writing on history, memory and spirit” presents artists' works that concern history, memories, and spirit, and explore continuity and discontinuity in society, history, and the abundant variations in individual and collective consciousness and unconsciousness. Interactions between documentation and imagination effect a spiritual self cure that mends the breaks, finds ways out of spiritual difficulties, and presents a broad view. Taipei Fine Arts Museum
