The organiser 'Month of Performance Art in Berlin' (shorten as MPA-B) is going to its third year in May 2013. MPA-B is founded by Berlin local artists and is the new and the biggest performance art event that mainly presents experimental, innovating and exploring performance art. Taiwanese curators Yun Ting-Hung、Lan Hungh and I Chen Tsou are invited to organise the exhibition '(CON)TEMPORARY SPACE-TIME' that focuses and presents on Taiwanese performance/action art in Berlin - the new capital of art. The reception will be hold in Stattberlin Art Space in the 10th of May 2013.

Shifting time, dislodgeble space and static body, these three states transmit and reflect the need of performance art for acting as mist and dew or lightning. The exhibition (CON)TEMPORARY SPACE-TIME intends to present a temporal coexistence with history, which is ‘a concept of multi side streams outside historical context’, that is generated from how the character of art and body in demand is positioned and interpreted.

In the special historical background, the context of performance art in Taiwan can be separated into three parts: first, 1980-1990 before and after Abolishing Martial Law - the ironic and judgmental reflection on political and social situation; second, 1990-2000 - body and life - the extreme test on body and relationship between art and life; third, after 2000 - the flourishing of video - the relationship between body and video. The exhibition includes 17 artists and 24 artworks according to the above three sections.

(CON)TEMPORARY SPACE-TIME invites artists and works including ‘Power Loss No.3’ by Chen Chieh-Jen, ‘I Go Traveling X/ An Epitaph—Finale’ by Tang Huang-Chen, ‘Three Ways of Living in Time’ by Kao Jun-Honn, ‘The Invisible City series’ by Tsui Kuang-Yu, ‘Art as Environment – A Cultural Action at the Plum Tree Creek’ by Wu Ma-Li + Action Team of Art as Environment 
- A Cultural Action at the Plum Tree Creek, ‘Standing in the Tide’ and ‘Sitting in the Tide’ by Chen Yung-Hsien, ‘Recover Mainland China’ by Yao Jui-Chung, ‘Walking School ’ by Leo Liu, ‘The Classroom of Teror’ by Wang Mo-Lin+「The Classroom of Teror」group and live performing artists including Shih-Chun Cheng, Liang Ya-Hui, Lin Chi Wei, Ye Yu-Jun, Effie Wu, Fu Ta-Wen, Su Yu-Shen, Watan Wuma. The exhibition intends to present the diverse relationships between body and religious, Zen, civilisation, nature, social interaction and confronting repression and additionally shows how Taiwanese performance/action artists grow a unique performance/act art contextual brook with historical torrent. 

主辦單位柏林表演藝術月Month of Performance Art in Berlin(簡稱MPA-B)於2013年五月邁入第三屆。MPA­B,是柏林新興、最大型的當代表演藝術展演活動,由柏林在地行為藝術家連合發起的活動,主要推動具實驗性、創新與突破性的表演藝術。本屆台灣籍策展人洪韵婷、藍洪祥和鄒逸真受邀策劃以台灣行為藝術為主題的聯合展覽「時-空-間:(CON)TEMPORARY SPACE-TIME」,將台灣重量級的行為藝術作品完整於新興藝術之都柏林呈現。於2013年5月10日在stattberlin藝術空間舉辦開幕酒會。

時間詭譎、空間位移、身體凝結,此三者轉演出身體行為藝術裡如霧露如閃電光的訴求投射,而藝術角色與身體角色在面對訴求時所被擺置的位置,和被詮釋的過程及結果,所表現出的歷史共存片刻性,是此展覽「時、空、間」所企圖呈現出來的,即為一種「多枝節史外脈絡的概念」。

縱觀台灣的行為藝術脈絡,在特殊的歷史背景下,大致可依年代分出三個時期:1980-1990解嚴前後-政治、社會的反諷與批判; 1990-2000身體生活-身體極限試煉、藝術之於生活的對話;2000後錄像的蓬勃身體錄像化。依三時期,我們一共邀請17位共計24件作品展出。

此展覽「時、空、間」共邀請17位藝術家共計24件作品包括:陳界仁「喪失機能第三號」、湯皇珍「我去旅行十/ 墓誌銘─終場」、高俊宏「住在時間的三種方式」、崔廣宇「隱形城市系列」、吳瑪悧+樹梅坑溪環境藝術行動團隊、陳永賢「站潮」、「坐潮」、姚瑞中「反攻大陸」、劉秋兒「行走的學校」、王墨林+暴力教室五人小組「暴力教室」,以及現場表演藝術家:鄭詩雋、梁雅惠、林其蔚、葉育君、吳逸中、傅雅雯、蘇宇燊、瓦旦.烏瑪。呈現身體之於宗教禪思、文明與自然、介入社會以及對抗壓制的多面向;同時一並展示台灣身體行為藝術家在歷史洪流中如何發展出獨特的行為藝術脈絡。

所有作品將分別進駐五個柏林極具代表性的當代藝術空間:stattberlin、rosalux藝術空間、Liebig12 替代空間、AquabitArt 藝廊、Neu Hoch 藝術空間;和兩個協辦活動:Performer Stammtisch行為藝術聯盟、Kolonie Wedding藝術季。
