《生若浮雲：2021蕭麗虹生平回顧紀念》
蕭麗虹，竹圍工作室創辦人，擁有多重身份、多變樣貌、多元關懷，單從任何一個角度，都無法洞見真正的她，甚至連她自己也不能。
生若浮雲，影片命名概念來自蕭麗虹老師的標誌性陶藝系列創作：「雲」，除了呼應蕭麗虹老師觀察與熱愛自然的心，雲的隨心移動、多般變化與自由不拘，也契合著她的個人特質。自香港出生，沉眠於台灣，像雲一樣在人生中面對著不同現實，其中不變的是她以獨有的溫柔與見解，和堅毅不撓的精神，從一介家庭主婦之姿投入藝術創作、推動文化工作，為台灣的藝文環境、藝術工作者付出一生，更為這片土地留下苗種，留待來日茁壯。
蕭麗虹（1946-2021）
謹以此片向
永遠的蕭麗虹老師致以最高敬意

【Living Like A Floating Cloud: A Margaret Shiu Retrospective】
As the founder of Bamboo Curtain Studio, Margaret Shiu was so many things to so many people. It is possible that even she wouldn’t be able to fully comprehend the impact she has had on this world.
Entitled “Living Like A Floating Cloud,” this video is first-and-foremost a tribute to Margaret’s iconic collection as a ceramics artist. With various pieces in the shape of clouds, the collection expresses Margaret’s keen observations and deep passion for nature through its free-flowing movement and unlimited expression. At the same time, clouds also correspond beautifully to her very ethos as a person, as an artist, and as a leader. Margaret embodied many different realities throughout her life, yet she always approached it with the same, constant gentle manner and resilient calm - never to be restricted or limited.
Born in Hong Kong and laid to rest in Taiwan, Margaret challenged dominant paradigms and became an ardent advocate for Taiwanese artists. She dedicated her life to the cross-cultural exchange between Taiwan and the rest of the world, and her outsized influence has planted the seeds for a new generation of artists to grow and flourish.
This is dedicated to Margaret Shiu’s memory. With our sincerest gratitude towards you.
