光州雙年展「台灣館」更名爭議與國民黨立委預算刪減風波

沈榮欽分析:從台灣庇護工場預算遭砍到韓國光州雙年展政治干預事件,探討民主與藝術的邊界

Quick Look

總統府副秘書長何志偉指控國民黨立委翁曉玲刪減國務機要費影響庇護工場,並對其抹綠言論表示痛心。同時,韓國光州雙年展曾擅自將「台灣館」更名為國美館縮寫,引發國際藝術界抗議,最終在壓力下恢復原名。

Why It Matters

光州雙年展旨在紀念1980年光州民主化運動,核心價值為民主與人權。台灣館更名事件引發當地藝術界對政治干預藝術的不滿。

總統府副秘書長何志偉接受訪問表示,他請求翁曉玲等國民黨立委,不要把國務機要費刪到影響庇護工場的禮盒採購,不是只有外界說的4次,而是親自拜會請求了20多次,因此國民黨立委不知情的說法,完全是誤傳。他對翁曉玲事後還將這些弱勢團體「抹綠」,感到十分痛心。

這不是第一次了,翁曉玲提案大砍文化部預算時,也稱呼其為「青鳥的飼料費」。之後國民黨與民眾黨聯手刪凍文化部預算,引發201位演藝圈與文化界抗議。

幾天前,第16屆韓國光州雙年展(Gwangju Biennale)爆發了「台灣館」爭議,原來4月已經簽好的約,韓國主辦方卻在8月中旬,突然自行將「台灣館」(Taiwan Pavilion)抹去,改為國美館的英文縮寫「NTMoFA Pavilion」。

因為展館分為「國家館」與「機構館」。因此抹去台灣館,改為國美館,就是要抹去台灣的國際地位。

主辦方此舉既違背與台灣簽訂的契約,也違背慣例,事前未與台灣商量,就自行撤換。即使台灣文化部拿出契約,上面白紙黑字表示韓方同意並簽署使用「Taiwan Pavilion」,韓國雙年展主辦方依舊裝傻,決定一意孤行。

光州雙年展創立於1995年,其歷史根基是為了紀念1980年對抗軍事獨裁的「518光州民主化運動」,核心宗旨就是倡導民主、人權與自由,參加的藝術家對於民主和人權都有高度認同,無法忍受主辦方這種赤裸裸的政治干預,傷害民主人權與自由的行為。

他們批評主辦單位的審查行為嚴重背叛了「光州精神」,導致南韓在地超過20個藝文團體(如光州民眾藝術家協會)及數十位國際策展人與藝術家集體連署聲援台灣,痛批主辦方讓「民主聖地」光州蒙羞,甚至連全南光州統合特別市長閔炯培都公開震怒,斥責政治介入藝術重創光州形象,並揚言事後追究基金會的責任。

最終在台灣政府、光州統合特別市長、韓國與國際藝術家、當地輿論撻伐的排山倒海壓力下,光州雙年展基金會態度再度大逆轉,於8月25日宣布,在展場、官方宣傳與所有文件上全面恢復使用「台灣館(Taiwan Pavilion)」之名,台灣布展團隊也隨即獲准進場恢復作業。台灣文化部長李遠對此感嘆:「遲來的正義也是正義,光州精神不死。」

而且就算最終光州雙年展決定恢復台灣館名稱,光州藝術家仍再度連署發表聲明。聲明中表示,對於光州雙年展昨天發布的「就使用『台灣館』名稱達成協議」公告中,將此事表述為「批准使用『台灣館(Taiwan Pavilion)』名稱」仍感遺憾。聲明中強調,「究竟是誰在批准什麼?我們希望光州雙年展重新反思並慎思考,光州雙年展Pavilion的定位究竟是什麼。」

聲明中提及,經歷此次事件再次強烈確認,光州雙年展應符合創立宗旨及「光州精神」,完全不受任何政治、外交壓迫或外部干涉。韓國藝術家的精神令人動容。
