印刷概念及技術:
為了增加設計概念的視覺效果,使畫面有有一個「蒲」的空間感。此次印刷運用了熱燙箔、專銀色及擊凹的印刷效果組合,並且熱燙箔及擊凹部份以全人手操作印製。套印的需極高的準確度,加上挿圖設計細緻部份較多,需人手反複試印及較正位置,才能準確呈現挿圖的設計,增加了印製的難度。此外,擊凹部份的面積大,壓印時力度需平均,不然會出現壓穿的情況,因此也報銷了很多印刷品,幸得老師博的體諒與包容。
封面選用了帶紋理的花紋咭紙,與燙壓後的平滑效果成對比,增加了設計圖像的立體感及層次。
背景:
幾年前,白盒之友會員來自香港,澳門和台灣的藝術家們,「蒲」到了斯卡達利亞。在悅耳的音樂和「直斟葡萄酒」相伴下,他們被波希米亞式的享受所吸引,產生了一個願望,就是與「茱烈.雅克西奇之家」合作, 舉辦「蒲」一 藝術展覽。
漢字「蒲」在粵語方言的發音為 pou4, 是指一種淡水植物。古人將曬乾的蒲草編織成坐墊。這些坐墊用於社交聚會上,因此「蒲」也是指社交活動的意思。友人們坐於鋪墊上傾談聊天、飲酒享樂,甚至發白日夢、創作藝術作品,就像斯卡達利亞的藝術家一樣。在這樣愉快輕鬆的氣氛之下,特別是藝術家很容易隨之而天馬行空地魂遊。
「茱烈.雅克西奇之家」位於斯卡達利亞步行街上。著名的畫家詩人茱烈.雅克西奇的人生最後五年就是與他的家人在這裏度過的。 「茱烈.雅克西奇之家」是貝爾格萊德舊城區文化機構 「蒸汽船」的一部分,每年都組織文藝晚會、書籍發布會、藝術展覽等活動。「茱烈.雅克西奇之家」以此承傳傳統文化和藝術形式,同時保存這位著名畫家詩人的生活史蹟和他的作品」。在此,「蒲」最終能於「茱烈.雅克西奇之家」以展覽形式展現,我們感到十分榮幸。
Background:
Several years ago the artists from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, members of White Box Friends “wandered” through Skadarlija. With good music and “draft wine”, they were much attracted to the bohemian way of enjoyment, after which a desire was born to hold the exhibition “Wandering”, in cooperation with the House of Đure Jakšić .
The Chinese character “蒲”, pronounced in the Cantonese dialect as “pou4”, signifies a type of fresh water plant. When dried, in ancient times, it was used for knitting sitting mattresses. These mattresses were used during the occasions of “蒲”, ie. socializing in guest houses. At such gatherings people conversed, drank, enjoyed themselves, dreamed and created art works, as in Skadarlija. In the middle of the joyful atmosphere it is easy to let one’s mind wander off. Especially when artists are in question, wanderings often follow.
The House of Đure Jakšić is situated in Skadarlija street. The house is called so because the famous artist and poet spent the last five years of his life living here with his family. “The house of Đure Jakšić forms part of the Cultural Institution Steamboat of the municipality of Stari Grad. Throughout the year, the House of Đure Jakšić organizes literary evenings, book promotions, exhibitions, etc. In this way the House of Đure Jakšić continues with the tradition of cultivating and promoting literary and artistic expressions while preserving the memory of the life and work of the famous poet and painter.” As such, we are pleased that our wandering finishes in the form of an exhibition at the home of Đure Jakšić.
