莊偉將參與於土耳其舉辦的第七屆馬爾丁雙年展「SKYground」。
「Mardin’s architectural and cultural landscape bears the traces of millennia shaped by Arab, Assyrian, Kurdish, Turkish, and other communities. Long a crossroads of trade, belief, and culture, the city’s intertwined languages, religions, and social structures continue to inform its cultural and political identity. Its elevated position has offered both a strategic vantage point and a symbolic threshold between empires and civilizations, underscoring Mardin’s enduring geopolitical significance. Often described as an open-air museum, the city embodies the architectural and spiritual legacy of ancient Mesopotamia, marked by histories of coexistence and conflict alike.
Within this context, “SKYground” renders visible the relationships contemporary art forges between reality and imagination, the material and the spiritual, the political and the poetic. Establishing a line between sky and ground, the individual and the collective, the past and the future, the 7th Mardin Biennial invites audiences to traverse territories commonly perceived as irreconcilable. By bringing together the “sky” and the “ground” that divide the horizon, the biennial opens a contemplative passage between worlds assumed to be far apart.」——第七屆馬爾丁雙年展
