Permanent Exhibition of Nanke Archaeological Artifacts - Public Art "The NiaoSung Family" (南科考古文物常設展-公共藝術「蔦松家」)
The NiaoSung Family
Artist: Akibo Lee (李明道)
Year: 2018
Material: Stainless steel, automotive paint
Dimensions: 215x229x270 cm, 79x79x209 cm, 67x64x115 cm, 48x50x85 cm, 38X63X67 cm
Maintenance Unit: National Museum of Prehistory
The Niao-sung Culture human-faced pottery figurines were excavated from the Daoye Site and are among the museum's representative artifacts. They demonstrate the mature techniques of Niao-sung people in three-dimensional molding, especially the sense of depth in facial features and the combination of expressions, capturing the creator's ingenuity. The most prominent features are the bridge of the nose, the brow ridge, and the positions of the eye sockets and nose.
Mr. Akibo Lee designed this public art for the museum based on the Niao-sung Culture human-faced pottery figurines, creating "The Niao sung family", which is full of playful ingenuity. It dresses the primitive figurines from a thousand years ago in high-tech surrealist outfits, bringing them into today's space-time to write a new complete sentence in a different artistic language. This brand-new work will continue to sail toward the future universe, becoming the antiquities of tomorrow, expressing the concept of the relay-like progression of human civilization.
