#mingsnews📯 大家期待已久的 MET GALA 將於即將來臨，今年 MET GALA 由 5 月份推遲到 9 月，因為疫情關係，場地亦縮細了不如以往般盛大，而相信大家最好奇風是這次受邀出席的嘉賓名單。 今年 MET GALA 的主題是「IN AMERICA: A LEXICON OF FASHION」，將深入探討美國現代時尚，更邀請了當今人氣一時無兩的 TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET、BILLIE EILISH、AMANDA GORMAN 和 NAOMI OSAKA 一起主持今年的活動。 雖然尚未確定嘉賓名單，但 MEGALA 的粉絲帳號 @_metgala2021 就在最近發布了一張傳聞為嘉賓的模擬座位表。 除了有 JENNIFER LOPEZ、BEYONCÉ AND KIM KARDASHIAN 等知名人物外，嘉賓名單更擴展至網絡紅人甚至運動員。據悉連 YOUTUBER EMMA CHAMBERLAIN、TIKTOK 網紅 ADDISON RAE 、CHARLI D’AMELIO 和奧運田徑運動員 ALLYSON FELIX 亦會參與。這個座位表流出後被廣傳開去，但有不少粉絲對 RAE 的加入感到不滿，認為 TIKTOK 網紅不應與 LADY GAGA、DONATELLA VERSACE、NAOMI CAMPBELL 、BEYONCÉ、LANA DEL REY、TAYLOR SWIFT AND CARA DELEVINGNE 等巨星級人物平起平坐。 你又怎樣看？ #MINGS #MINGSHK #LADYGAGA #TIKTOK #METGALA #INAMERICAALEXICONOFFASHION #BEYONCÉ #TIMOTHÉECHALAMET #BILLIEEILISH #NAOMIOSAKA ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

. “You’re around 170 cm in height and around 73 kg. You’re not a sporty guy, but more of a cultured young man. You’re wearing light green or light blue clothing, and your hairstyle is quite casual. Your voice has a magnetic slow drawl like famous broadcasters Chen Lo-Jung or Guang Yu.” 「你大概170公分高吧，73公斤左右，不是運動型的男生，大概像文藝青年那樣。穿著淺綠色或淺藍色的衣服，髮型比較隨性。聲音像廣播名人陳樂融、光禹那樣有磁性、慢慢的感覺。」 Self Portrait Sculpture, Leather 170*155cm 2015 I has been a volunteer at the Institute for the Blind of Taiwan for over a year in 2015. During this time, I service and met twelve blind people in there. After getting along for a period time with them, I asked them a question: What do you think my appearance is like? They gave me the feedback by “non- visual” way with the my feature of hearing, sense of smell and my movement in space. These words show the other appearance beside our sight. I translated these descriptions of my appearance to Braille (Braille text), and engrave them on 12 pieces of leather, the size equal to my body’s height and width. The Braille words look like measles growing out from the skin, or like an ancient map from the unknown age. That it’s be a sculpture for “seeing” to people who can’t read the Braille words, and the visually impaired people can really "see" the nature underneath the appearance of things through the touching. This work is a dialectic between the visibility and invisibility, and reflect the thinking when we indulge in the appearance of “artwork”. #niujunqiang #sculpture #leather #blindpeople #blind #appearance #visibility #invisibility #seeing #touching #braille

. “The first time I met you was in the afternoon. You came to meet me at the metro station. You greeted me telling me that it was a bit far. On the short way there, you gave me a brief explanation of your area in flat tones. You didn’t speak fast, and your tone was a little cold; both your intonation and your gait were heavy, so I figured you would be quite stout, with fleshy thighs. I imagined you at around 170cm in height. When we got to your place, it was quite cramped and things started to take shape. As we entered your workshop there was a row of bright windows. As I listened to you describe your work, a shaved head and light stubble gradually formed. In the course of the conversation, I had the impression you were heavy-set, so I thought you must have single eyelids and wear glasses - gold-rimmed glasses. But because the lighting in the room was so great, it didn’t feel like you’d wear glasses. I thought your nose must be small and you’d have thin lips. At first, I thought you were dressed casually, in a T-shirt and running shorts or something, but when you served us fruit, everyone had their own plateful, so I thought then that you must be quite reserved, and that you probably wore a shirt and tie with dark trousers, that you likely wore a Seiko-brand watch with a leather strap, that your fingernails would all be neatly trimmed and that you’d have a little bit of a belly. I thought your house was quite clean, and that the majority of clothes in your wardrobe would be plain or pinstripe and that your shoe rack would be all leather or brown casual shoes. “ 「第一次與你碰面是在一個午后，你來捷運站接我們，你的招呼有些距離，小小的路程上，你用很平的語氣大略簡單介紹住家環境。你講話速度不快，語氣有點冷，語調與步伐都是偏下沉的，所以我覺得外表是肉肉壯壯的，大腿很有肉，身高應有170公分左右。 到了你的住處後因空間的限制，畫面開始成形。進入工作室時，有一排明亮的窗戶，聽你講述作品，平頭、小鬍渣慢慢成形。聊天的過程中，我一直覺得你很沉，所以應該是單眼皮有戴眼鏡，是金屬鏡框那種，但又因為房間採光很好，不太像會戴眼鏡的感覺。你鼻子小而不大，薄唇。 我一開始認為你大概穿著很休閒像是T恤、運動短褲之類，但你招待我們吃水果時，是一人一碟盛裝著，所以我想你是很拘謹的人，應該常穿著有領襯衫與深色長褲，會帶皮製錶帶的精工手錶，指甲剪的很整齊，有一點點小肚子。感覺你的住家十分乾淨，衣櫃裡應大多是素色或線條的服裝，鞋櫃裡都是皮鞋或褐色的休閒鞋。」 Self Portrait Sculpture, Leather 170*155cm 2015 #niujunqiang #sculpture #leather #blindpeople #blind #appearance #visibility #invisibility #seeing #touching #braille
