我看到阿萊夫，從各個角度在阿萊夫之中看到世界，在世界中再一次看到阿萊夫，在阿萊夫中看到世界，我看到我的臉和髒腑，看到你的臉，我覺得眩暈，我哭了，因為我親眼看到了那個名字屢屢被人們盜用、但無人正視的秘密的、假設的東西：難以理解的宇宙。 

——博爾赫斯《阿萊夫》

一束空間iisuArt Space欣然呈現藝術家大粒的個展「一粒阿萊夫 」，展覽將於2022年11月25日至12月24日舉行，包括大粒近年創作的「幾何·數」系列、「Cosmic-圓」系列、「直線不直線」系列全新作品。

展覽主題致敬博爾赫斯的同名短篇小說《阿萊夫》，阿萊夫是一顆直徑為2-3公分的圓球，透過它可見宇宙無盡景象。博爾赫斯在文中補充道，Aleph為希伯來字母中第一個字母，神秘哲學家們認為它意為「要學會說真話」。這個字母指無限的、純真的神明。

某年某月，在多重角色中遊蕩世間的「行者」大粒，無意之間輕觸宇宙之弦，感知萬物共振合一。我們所知宇宙的一切物質——从最小的夸克到最巨大的超新星，都在微觀的小能量環的震動中產生。大粒對量子力學、哲學、佛學、神秘主義有著濃厚興趣，她常年進行冥想靜坐，持續探索靈性旅程，抑或是精神祭祀。轉而在創作中呈現出某種神秘本真且帶著催眠般的力量，也是煉金術師、占卜師、薩滿、嬉皮士們的樂此不疲的遊戲。

大粒從幾何、光譜、赫兹、符號、波粒二象性、線性時空等多維角度進行嘗試實踐，近年作品愈加純粹通達。她著迷於「宣紙」這一古老的東方材質與帆布的融合疊加。新作品系列的陽面被遮掩，反以陰面示人，主體與客體渾然合一，可謂「陰陽相濟生萬物」，朦朧層疊間隱藏著鏡像或對稱對立與統一。她的作品亦受到唯心論、神智學的影響，觀者興許會感受到些許已故藝術家希爾瑪·阿芙·克林特（Hilma af Klint）、艾格尼絲·馬丁（Agnes Martin）的作品氣息。

一粒阿萊夫，包羅萬象。它是每個人的秘密阿萊夫。

I saw the Aleph from every point and angle, and in the Aleph I saw the earth and in the earth the Aleph and in the Aleph the earth; I saw my own face and my own bowels; I saw your face; and I felt dizzy and wept, for my eyes had seen that secret and conjectured object whose name is common to all men but which no man has looked upon — the unimaginable universe.

——《An Aleph》

iisuArt Space gratefully presents Dali Chen solo exhibition:「An Aleph 」 that will last from Nov 25th to Dec 24th including 「Geometry. Mathmatics  Series」,「Cosmic-Round Series 」,「There is no straight line Series 」.

The theme of the exhibition pays tribute to Borges' short story "EI Aleph". Alef is a sphere with diameter of 2-3 cm, through which you can see endless scenes of the universe. Borge added that Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, while in the perspective of mysterious philosophers, it means "learn to tell the truth". This letter refers to infinite and pure god.

One day, the "wanderer" Dali who roved in the world in multiple roles touched the string of the universe inadvertently and sensed the resonance and unity of all things. Everything we know about the universe, from the smallest quark to the biggest supernova, exists with the vibration of the tiny energy circuit from microscopic. Dali is obsessed with quantum mechanics, philosophy, Buddhism and mysticism. She meditates and sits still all year round, constantly exploring spiritual journey or spiritual sacrifice. Meanwhile, there are always some power with mysterious authenticity and hypnotic in Dali’s works, which is also a game enjoyed by alchemists, soothsayers, shamans and hippies.

Dali tries to practice from the multi-dimensional angles of geometry, spectrum, Hertz, symbol, wave-particle duality, linear spacetime, etc. In recent years, her works have become more and more pure and accessible. She is fascinated by the fusion and superposition of "Rice Paper", an ancient oriental material and canvas. Yang side of the work in new series is hidden, but presents with the Yin side. The subject and the object are in perfect harmony, which can be described as "the congruity of Yin and Yang creates the whole". Mirror images hidden inside can be both symmetrical opposition and unity among the hazy layers. Her works are also influenced by idealism and theosophy, and the audience may get touched in the works from the late artists Hilma af Klint and Agnes Martin.

An Aleph, all-inclusive, the mistery belongs to everyone.
