展覽簡介Exhibition Introduction
世界末日，是預言？還是騙局？
2012年即將來臨，「世界末日」之說甚囂塵上，言之鑿鑿的各種傳說預言，加上全球化的
氣候異常、環境惡化、人禍連連…等爆量傳出的各類新聞事件，讓即使最樂觀的人也不免
開始擔憂緊張：「世界末日」果真即將降臨了！？
末日預言是真是假，其實無人能夠斷定，人們真正能做的反而是，透過某種思考觀點和言
論表達形式，將這個本來一直由「預言者」攪動的話題，帶到傳播媒體、社會活動、藝術
書寫、文化論壇…等不同的公共領域中，啟動人們對於集體存亡、歷史終結、大毀滅、末
日救贖…等終極議題的共同關注、討論與想像。
「末‧未2013」展從「2012末日預言」出發，試圖用藝術的言說和姿態超越既有的論調和
邏輯，而同時指向「末日」情境與「未來」想像。作為展覽標題的「末」與「未」，字面
上只有一線之差，但意義指向正反兩極、是極為懸殊的兩種語境；以這兩個字並肩齊立作
為展題，也意味了末日到來與否，也許和世人「起什麼心、動什麼念」有關，一念之差，
往往變成了影響世局、轉變命運的臨門一腳；英文副標” World is over? “的用意，是
以警語形式來喚起觀眾的主體感知，共同找出這個議題的焦點和重要內涵。
本展由Second Soul團隊的13位藝術家共同參與，透過全球共通的圖像語言，和多媒體、
互動投影、塗鴉創作、裝置藝術、雕塑、版畫等不同媒介的運用，傳達出可以多方體驗、
不同樣式的「2013世界」，並藉由這些視覺圖像的心靈滲透力，開啟民眾對於當下存在的
敏銳感知和積極行動。
Is the theory of the world ending a real doomsday prediction or a fake hoax?
2012 end of time predictions have garnered much public attention, and
together with global adversary weather conditions, environmental problems,
and man-caused tragedies that are plastered all over the media, even some of
the most optimistic people are beginning to feel the tension from this issue
and starting to wonder if indeed the “End of the World” will soon be upon
us?
Nobody could positively confirm whether these premonitions about the end of
the world are true or false. However, through certain viewpoints and verbal
expressions, what has formerly been an issue proclaimed by so-called “
prophets” are now being expanded into areas of mass media, social event, art
writing, cultural seminar, and other channels in the public domain, whereby
collective discussions, imaginations, and concerns for issues of mutual
death, apocalypse, extreme catastrophe, and end of world redemption are
taking place.
“World is over?” is instigated by “2012 End of Days” predictions and
attempts to transcend preexisting concepts and logics via art languages and
perspectives. The exhibition is based on the duo-concept of the “end of days
” and the “future”. The exhibition consisting of these two elements is
also suggesting that perhaps whether or not the end of days is upon us is
based on the mentality and action of people today. A slight change in the
mindset could ultimately alter the future of the world. The title of the
exhibition, “World is over?”, is intended to act as a warning and to call
upon people’s collective awareness and for them to discover the focus and
important context this exhibition is attempting to present.
13 artists from Second Soul are included in this exhibition. Through the use
of universal visual language and in conjunction with multimedia, interactive
projections, graffiti works, installation art, sculptures, prints, and the
utilizations of other diverse media, these artist have created “the world in
2013” based on different experiences and approaches. Through the spiritual
profoundness in these visual works, the objective is to encourage people to
be more sensitive and to become more active in facing our current existence.

Curatorial Team Introduction
Second Soul Graphic Arts Society is an artist collective based in Taipei
formed in 2009. The group is comprised of artists of diverse backgrounds;
including graphic, graffiti, interface design, and animation. The mutual
concept behind this collective is to see the act of “creating” as their “
Second Soul”, and to integrate creativity with life so their life
philosophies and vitality are expressed through images.
Second Soul is also symbolic of the idea of “rebirth”. These artists are
dedicated to cross-disciplinary integration through their visual works, and
the collaborations are conducted by giving everyday products a whole-new
appearance and a kind of creative spirit, to create added-value through art.
Additionally, they are also devoted to extending visual works from
two-dimensional formats into three-dimensional realms. By actively being
involved in people’s everyday lives, the mission of this artist collective
is for creative endeavors to unfold in our social environment and for people
to tangibly experience the power embodied in the aesthetics of images.
