在當代，我們如何認知創作與非創作、作品與非作品、物質性與非物質性的實踐關係？我們如何從藝術作品中，能同步尋找到藝術家在生活與藝術、精神與技術、菁英與世俗中的轉譯痕跡？
《開箱—願原力與你同在》在「非畫廊」展出，有其空間上的意義。在據點上，「非畫廊」(Beyond Gallery)的命名，已然指向了有關美學轉換的誖論。在日常與非日常、物件與非物件、藝術與非藝術、畫廊與非畫廊的藝術觀念思辯中，此展除了以現代化進程中的女性創作者作為開箱索引，亦希望透過作品形態，能看到其生活信念、藝術實踐的過程中，個人故事之外的創作美學轉譯過程。
以視覺形式進行此「美學開箱」的叩問，此展分為二個獨立的項目。一是小特展《進入她的工作室》(Enter Her Studio)，二是小聯展《進入她們的轉接站》(Enter Their Transfer Station)。《進入她的工作室》將以一位1950年代出生的女藝術家之「工作室物件」為材料，包括屬於藝術家個人創作空間的油彩罐、伴隨作畫的沉重工作服、工作現場的餘渣等，濃縮地顯影出創作過程中的時間、空間、能量之流變。它們由材料與工具的物性，反身性地成為藝術家的第二層皮膚、時間的物證、以及藝術家創作精神與能量的壓縮版視覺表述。
《進入她們的轉接站》將以六位1960年代出生，不同原生家庭背景的女性藝術家為組合，分別提出在「行動限制年代」(Lockdown Years)之後的作品。除了呈現個人美學風格成品與日常生活的幽微現實空間，也會展示個人創作中的相關物件。這些介於「作品」與「非作品」的概念性視覺品，將以現成物、草繪、影錄等形式，呈現她們從居家現實中所轉化出的想像世界，以及關注的外部事物。(文／高千惠)

In our era, how do we recognize the practical relationships between creation and non-creation, artworks and non-artworks, materiality and immateriality? Within artistic works, how can we simultaneously look for the translational traces of artists amidst life and art, the spiritual and technical, and the elite and workaday world?
The exhibition Unboxing – May the Force Be With You, showcased at Beyond Gallery, holds significant spatial implications. As a location, the Beyond Gallery name inherently points towards discourse concerning aesthetic transformations. Engaging in conceptual deliberations surrounding the everyday and non-routine, material and immaterial, art and non-art, galleries and non-galleries, this exhibition serves not only as an “unboxing” index to female artists over the course of modernization, but also aims to reveal, through the forms of artworks, the translational processes of aesthetic creation beyond personal narratives within their guiding beliefs and artistic practices.
Structured as an inquiry into aesthetic unboxing through visual forms, the exhibition consists of two distinct components: a solo exhibition titled Enter Her Studio, and a small joint exhibition titled Enter Their Transfer Station. Enter Her Studio focuses on the materiality of “studio objects” belonging to a female artist born in the 1950s. These objects include oil paint jars, heavy work uniforms worn while painting, and residues from the working environment, condensing the temporal, spatial, and energetic flow within the creative process. Through the materiality of the materials and tools, they reflexively become the artist’s second skin, material evidence of time, and compressed visual expositions of the artist’s creative spirit and energy.( Text by KAO Chien Hui)
