A House for Hermes 07 (Pt 2) - Curated by YeonHwa Yeom, Laurens Tan, BoYoung Jung & JooYoung Sohn

RESEARCH BACKGROUND: 'A House for Hermes 07 (part 2)' is an iteration of an ongoing project by Charles Anderson installed at the curated group exhibition 'Always on my Mind'. This work is a computer generated animation made specifically to be shown on the giant LED screen at Seoul Square, in collaboration with Tim Schork and Indae Hwang. The video shows a turbulent, swirling particle cloud which slowly begins to form the outlines of a house. At the point where this emergent 'house' seems to achieve definitive form it suddenly dissolves back into its chaotic dance of particles. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: This work is part of the ongoing A House for Hermes project which muses upon what constitutes 'house', 'home' and 'place' in the contemporary world of ceaseless change, displacement and exile. The work examines an intimate un-homed geography: an intuition of dwelling not as a house which becomes to our former selves what the corpse is to the living body, but a house which spatialises a different thinking of time and the dynamic of recollection. Alongside works of other artists and designers from Australia and Korea, Anderson presents his understanding of 'home' in the context of today's de-territorialisation of culture and identity. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: Anderson's video work was shown at Seoul Square - a significant public area in front of Seoul Station - on a large 99x78m 'media canvas' run by Gana Art Gallery, over the span of 2 months. The exhibition was part of the Australia - Korea Art Project celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations between Australia and Korea; it investigates the multiple notions of 'home' through the work of two groups of artists, each coming from the other side of the globe.

研究背景：《给赫尔墨斯的房子07（第二部分）》（A House for Hermes 07 (part 2)）是查尔斯·安德森（Charles Anderson）正在推进的系列创作之一，该作品参展于策展群展《始终萦绕于心》（Always on my Mind）。本作品为与蒂姆·肖克（Tim Schork）、黄仁泰（Indae Hwang）合作打造的计算机生成动画，专为首尔广场的巨型LED屏幕定制展示。该动画呈现了一团翻腾旋转的粒子云，其轮廓缓缓显现出房屋的形态；当这一正在生成的“房屋”即将定型之际，它却骤然消散，重新回归粒子的混沌舞动之中。

研究贡献：本作品属于持续推进的《给赫尔墨斯的房子》（A House for Hermes）系列项目，该项目旨在探讨在瞬息万变、流离失所与流亡常态化的当代世界中，“房屋”“家”与“场所”的本质内涵。作品探讨了一种私密的“无家可归”的地理图景：它将栖居的直觉从“房屋之于过往自我如同尸骸之于鲜活躯体”的固有认知中抽离，转而打造一种为时间思考与回忆动态赋予空间形态的居所。安德森与其他来自澳大利亚与韩国的艺术家及设计师作品一同参展，在当今文化与身份的去地域化语境下，阐释了他对“家”的理解。

研究意义：安德森的动画作品于首尔广场——首尔站前方的重要公共空间——通过伽那艺术画廊（Gana Art Gallery）运营的99×78米巨型“媒体画布”进行展映，展期长达两个月。本次展览是庆祝澳韩建交50周年的“澳韩艺术项目”的组成部分，该项目通过分别来自地球两端的两组艺术家的作品，探讨“家”的多元内涵。
