吳瑪悧的女性主義藝術實踐

臺灣女性藝術家中，吳瑪悧的創作以女性主義角度關注於性別、政治與國族之關係著稱。其初期作品「性別三連作」、〈比美賓館〉、〈寶島賓館〉、〈墓誌銘〉、〈新莊女人的故事〉大多採取批判的態度，挪用強烈的視覺符號，結合深沉的文字張力，企圖引起觀者的省思，尋找臺灣女性於歷史、社會裡的位置。然而由於女性主義的發展，吳瑪悧重新思考藝術與社會的關係，進而轉變其創作。近年的「從你的皮膚甦醒」系列活動，透過社群的形式將各階層的婦女連結在一起，以互為主體的方式，分享彼此的心路歷程及創作，實踐「婦女的改變，本身就是藝術的實踐過程」的創作理念。藉由〈秘密花園〉的陰性思維，藝術家找到一個屬於女性的敘述方式，以期達到兩性和平共處的良性互動。更藉〈樹梅坑溪環境藝術行動〉回歸自然關懷，以生態女性主義之開放性連結在地生命，成為改變的力量。吳瑪悧的女性主義藝術一路走來，始終如一。其作品發展就如同女性主義所經歷的改變。她的多重身分，打破了高低藝術的分野，以及人們對於藝術家既定的印象，其多元包容的思維對整個社會中的人、空間、體制和環境的永續經營發揮作用，以終極關懷讓這個世界變得更美好。

In Taiwan female artists, Wu Mali's works are well-known for focusing on the relationship among gender, politics and nationality from feminism perspective. Most of her early works ＂Gender Triple Works,＂＂Bimei Hotel,＂＂Treasure Island Hotel,＂＂Etaph,＂ and ＂Xinzhuang Woman's Story＂ adopted a critical attitude, appropriating strong visual symbols, combined with deep textual tension. It is an attempt to arouse viewers' reflections and find the position of Taiwanese women in history and society. However, due to the development of feminism, Wu Mali rethinks the relationship between art and society, and then changes her creations. In recent years, through the form of community, the series activities of ＂Awakening from Your Skin＂ join women of each class together. With intersubjective way, they share spiritual journeys and creations with each other. This practices the creative concept that ＂the change of women, itself is the process of artistic practice.＂ With feminine thinking of ＂Secret Garden,＂ artist finds a female narrative in order to achieve peaceful co-existence of gender interaction. Furthermore, with the help of ＂A Culture Action at the Plum Tree Creek,＂ she returns to the care of nature and connects local life with the openness of Eco-feminism and becomes a force for change. Wu Mali's feminism art has always been the same. Her art evolution parallels the change of feminism. Her multiple identities have broken the distinction between high and low art, as well as people's established impression of artists. Her diverse and inclusive thinking plays a role on sustainable management of people, space, institution and environment in whole society, and makes the world better with ultimate concern.
