Room 959 WA collection & a-space Gallery
The door.「打開這扇門後,窺探另一個世界的風景。」
台灣藝術策展團隊WA與瑞士a-space gallery 攜手帶來歐亞精彩藝術作品,以 「the door. 」為題,藝術家們呈現了各種形式的門後風景,多元的媒材、虛擬與真實的元素,帶領觀眾進入藝術家們獨特的視角,探索現實生活和虛擬世界的轉化;在踏入門後的藝術風景中,找到與自己內在共鳴的另一個世界。
門後的風景各有特色,有些透過數位媒介,展現出不存在的未來島嶼、有些則透過模擬現實、呈現了微縮生物的世界;還有些將觀眾帶回到童年的日常光景,或是展現了彩色的奇幻景色等。這些作品來自台灣、日本、瑞士和波蘭,集結在這扇門後,呈現到觀眾眼前。 展出藝術家 張為雲 Weiyun Chang

張為雲 Weiyun Chang
Wei-Yun (張為雲) is a Taiwanese artist and curator. She usually uses non-traditional materials to create her work and aims to extend the various possibilities and contexts for visual storytelling. Her work has been exhibited in independent art fairs and galleries in Asia and Europe since 2014.
Common themes explored in her work are about children, the inner-child, dreams, consciousness, death, and nature. By using research and storytelling, she explores different aspects of seeing spaces, objects, concepts, and environments, and then selects the most appropriate materials for each project.
Wei-Yun’s artworks are interactive. They can be experienced through a variety of different contexts and levels. The subjects are mainly focused on finding new ways of seeing and creating experimental experiences between imagination and reality.

Alek Slon
A visual artist and curator based in Warsaw. He graduated from the Faculty of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and philosophy at the University of Warsaw. The main fields of his activity are painting and drawing. He also creates multimedia installations, animations and videos.
The subject of his interests is the subconsciousness that manifests itself through dreams and memories. Finding their visual representations he reaches out to personal myths that are at the same time inseparable from the collective imagination.
Matthias Gubler
For over 10 years, Matthias Gubler has been exploring the media of video, installations and interventions with a socio-political context in his artistic work. He is always concerned with making the fragility and fragility of the world perceptible, but also with aisthesis itself. Looking at the various works created using different media, one quickly notices that Gubler‘s works demand time, patience and a lot of attention from the viewer in order to approach the subject matter. Another central moment in his works is the concept of the endless loop as a video loop, which is able to express a whole spectrum of feelings. Through the supposed recurrence of the same, we can recognise the beauty of a moment over and over again. In this way, the magic of a moment can be captured in all its fragility.
Stéphane Koyama-Meyer
With over 10 years long experience in graphic design, inspired by the street art movement, Stephane Koyama-Meyer, also known as Traz, creates interesting visual combinations of bright colors and drawings.
He likes to play with letters and choose sentences, so-called motivation quotes, borrowed from philosophers, poems or even hip hop lyrics. With the aim to spread the positive mindset, Stephane wants to give the public the break from their everyday routine.Born in Mulhouse (France) and a graduate of Visual and Graphic Arts from Strasbourg and Besancon, Stephane Koyama-Meyer now lives and works near Basel.
He has exhibited all over the world, won an international art contest organized by the rapper Snoop Dogg and his work has been published in various books. He’s also the co-founder of the BackTo Type art collective.
Michel Winterberg
Michel Winterberg (1972) lives and works in Basel, Switzerland. He prefers to work with interactive video and sound installations, mixed media and animatronic elements. An important part is the use of interactive technologies with an artistic debate as well as a critical and humorous view towards media technology and its use in society.
He graduated the Bachelor of Arts degree, IHW HGK FHNW and exhibited at ZKM, Karlsruhe (GE), Kunsthalle Basel, HEK House of Electronic Arts, LISTE - Art Fair Basel (CH) and WRO (PL).
