講者：郭昭蘭、區秀詒、陳侑汝
立方很榮幸邀請藝術家區秀詒與陳侑汝舉行展覽《The Rocking Dream》，此為Her Lab Space這個雙人組合的首次聯合個展。
本展延伸自兩人於2024年受新加坡美術館（Singapore Art Museum）委託創作的作品《噩夢搖擺》（Bad Dream Rocking a.k.a The Rocking Malay(a)），藉由馬來民間故事「Si Tanggang」探索身份邊界的不穩定狀態，以影像、聲音檔案、模型等混合元素，展開傳說、記憶、政治的複雜變貌。「Si Tanggang」述說背棄母親追尋財富、階級、新身份以及族裔的主角被母親詛咒變成石頭的故事。結合馬來西亞無證兒童（undocumented children）的訪談和對於這則民間傳說的重述和想像，《噩夢搖擺》以重演、改編、解構、新聞報導以及後設等多重轉生追溯「Si Tanggang」的各種迭代。透過這個故事的解構與重構，Her Lab Space將「Si Tanggang」重新詮釋為一則關於內部與外部、原生與外來者等的多重辯證，如偶有的噩夢一般，搖擺的機器。
展名「The Rocking Dream」提示了英文「Rocking」一字的雙關語，字根Rock為石頭，「Rocking」則意指搖晃、搖擺狀態。本展以石頭的堅硬和搖擺的晃動拉鋸，隱喻身份建構和解構的複雜政治。

Venue: TheCube Project Space, Taipei
Speakers: Guo Jau-Lan, Au Sow Yee, Chen Yow-Ruu
TheCube is honored to invite Au Sow Yee and Chen Yow-Ruu to present their solo exhibition The Rocking Dream. Au Sow Yee and Chen Yow-Ruu are members of artistic duo Her Lab Space. The Rocking Dream is their first joint Solo Exhibition.
The exhibition is extended from a commissioned work entitled Bad Dream Rocking a.k.a The Rocking Malay(a) by Singapore Art Museum in 2024, for Lost & Found: Embodied Archive. The work explores the unstable situations of identity borders through a Malay folklore Si Tanggang, opening up complex transformations of folklore, memory and politics. While The Rocking Dream utilizes hybrid elements such as video, sound archive and miniature model. Si Tanggang tells the story of the protagonist cursed by his mother into a rock after he renounced his mother in search of wealth, hierarchy, new identity and new ethnicity. Integrating interviews of stateless children in Malaysia as well as their re-narration and imagination of the folklore, Bad Dream Rocking a.k.a The Rocking Malay(a) explores the many iterations of Si Tanggang through re-enactment, adaptation, deconstruction, news report and metafiction. Her Lab Space re-interprates Si Tanggang into a work with multiple and dialectical yet ambiguos dimensions of inside and outside, natives and outsiders etc, through deconstruction and construction of the story. It is like an occassional bad dream , a rocking machine.
The Rocking Dream is a play o the word “Rocking”. Its root is Rock, and rock is something that is stable. While “Rocking” indicates an unstable and swaying state. This exhibition is a metaphorical voyage of the complex politics on the construction and deconstruction of identity.
