林晏如 Andrina

高中開始被歸類在搖滾少女

玩樂團「壞女兒」在各大音樂祭中演出

並發表表了兩張專輯以及多張合輯

後來用「香菇小姐」發行一張個人專輯

此後，專心於拍片工作。

從副導演到導演的這二十年 參與了多達百部影片製作

以VeraSolaris (現為 渺子映畫）執導多隻MV 以及 演唱會影片等等

三年前 我開始畫畫 瘋狂的沈浸在畫獨處的女人與貓系列

正逢疫情期間 世界的慌亂讓我想建構一個舒適圈

這像是冥想 是內在的省思與探尋

是通往一條未知的蠻荒之路

我總是以創作來瞭解自己

我發現 這一切都回到自我 安然順應一股順流的力量

那些玄秘與奧妙 都藉由創造力展現

這是我與世界連結的方式

我過去的人生 體現了我的每一個面向

我不覺得經驗造就了現在的我

而是經驗引領我回到自我

Andrina Lin

Andrina Lin has been labeled as a rock girl since high school. She was a member of the band “Bad Daughter,” and had experiences performing at major music festivals. 「Bad Daughter」 has released two studio albums and several tracks in compilation albums. Later, Andrina released a solo album under the name “Miss Mushroom,” and has subsequently been focusing on directing and filmmaking.

Starting as an assistant director and then becoming a director, Andrina has participated in the production of numerous films over the past twenty years. She is the founder of 「VeraSolaris Films」 (now Muon Films), and has ever since produced, directed, and released multiple music videos as well as concert videos.

Three years ago, Andrina started creating a series of illustrations portraying the solitude of a woman and her cat as the main theme. During the pandemic, the chaos of the world stimulated her artistic mind to build a comfort zone through the process of meditation, which led to the state of inner reflection and self-exploration, and finally to the revelation of a path to the unknown wilderness.

Andrina is on a never-ending quest to find herself through creation. “Everything ultimately comes back to the self, which eventually blends with the power of natural flow,” she confides. Thus, her work depicts not only mysteries but also wonders, for this is Andrina’s way to connect with the world.

She says: ‘’Every facet of my life is an illustration of my past, but I do not believe that I am the result of my past experiences. Rather, I would say those past experiences helped me find my inner self.’’

感謝黃動物老闆為《在咖啡廳》回顧展撰寫論述～

文/ 黃動物

或許人們僅能透過幽微的火光之映射來發現自身的記憶與周遭歷史──火光是由那些片面的元素在時間與意識之流中相互撞擊時產生的，它不似太陽一般永恆與遙遠，或公正的施捨光明予普羅大眾；太陽甚至不容得你拒絕！而真實的自由思考卻應當是一種對暴力的對抗。因此，塑造了自身的那些記憶與用以安放自身位置的歷史不應隸屬於太陽，而是誕生於撿拾和取捨的實踐行動之中：時間中片面的元素因此被發現、被懷疑、被收藏、被有意識的理解或拒絕，之後才成為（與某人相關的）記憶。

岸畔咖啡在這一年多以來舉辦了許多的活動，這些事件就其自身而言當然是一個個獨立的記憶，然而對岸畔這個場域來說則是其自身的記憶與歷史；這次的回顧展就是一個重新撿拾取捨這些片段的實際行動。比起重新展現過去的內容，更真實的應該是重新檢視這些內容；元素之間的重構才是當下記憶所倚賴的，建構信任的方法。在整個展覽中，首先你會看到的事件是一台轎車以倒車的姿態撞入岸畔一樓吧台區的照片，玻璃碎裂滿地和受到波及的無辜機車，而參與事件的人們──包括店主、員工、肇事者、鄰居、紀州庵的員工、路過看熱鬧的人也進入影像的紀錄之中，拍攝者則是來做筆錄的警察。這或許不是第一個與岸畔相關的影像紀錄，但它成為了一個代表性的記憶；一方面導出這次回顧展的標題《在咖啡廳》（In a Cafe），另一方面描繪了岸畔咖啡和與其連結的人們的關係隱喻：一種突如其來的撞入（crash-into）。

在時間中線性流動事件的描述或把握是件困難的事情，更精確地說，絕大多數的日常內容都像是每日晚餐一般，在當下令人煩惱（關於要吃甚麼），而過後則令人遺忘。它的存在不僅是必要的還是必然的，那些特殊而精采的事件事實上貼附在這些日常中成為記憶的錨點，這兩者的關聯難以分割，唯有在重構元素時才能發現它們幽微的關係，那是純粹與自我相關的，構成生活記憶的真實歷史。黃允蔚透過「重構元素」揭示了岸畔的真實性；對於所有廣義的參與者（無論是工作人員、熟客或新來客）來說，這個展覽也將為他們帶來各自獨立的記憶迴響，畢竟咖啡廳這樣的場景在根本上是生活之處，是缺乏靈光的普通的地方；它永遠都不像太陽一樣，而是柔性的、包容的，甚至是散亂荒誕而非理性的存在。■

In a Cafe—Exhibition Review

At Kishibe Cafe, the owner takes a different approach to understanding the theme of authenticity, history and memory represented in the exhibition.

It is likely that human beings can only spot their own memories and histories through perceiving the shimmering light emitted from the glow of flames. The light, hence, is partially formed through the collision between time and consciousness. Such light does not shine like the Sun, which burns distantly, eternally, and even illuminates fairly and graciously for the public; you cannot reject the Sun! Nonetheless, the reality of free-thinking should be considered as the resistance to violence; as a result, the self that is shaped and located by memories and histories does not belong to the Sun. Rather, the self is constructed by the practice of accepting and rejecting. As the temporal fragments are accordingly discovered, suspected, archived, understood, or rejected; memories related to the particular ones are subsequently created and articulated.

Kishibe Café has arranged various exciting events throughout the year of 2023. Every single event in itself is, of course, a memory per se. However, for the venue of Kishibe Café, everything transforms into memories and histories for itself. While the 2023 retrospective exhibit showcases the significant practice of accepting and rejecting, it does not aim to re-display the content from the past; instead, it truthfully re-elucidates the elements from the past. Namely, the reconstruction of multiple elements is what memories can rely on and how trusts can be established.

The exhibition begins with a series of photos of a car that crashes into the cafe in reverse and plows into the motorcycles beside the sidewalk with the floor covered with fragments of glass. The people who were involved in this event, including the owner, the staff member, the driver, the neighbors, and the passersby, are included and archived in the photos; moreover, the photographer was the police officer who came to take dictations. The photos might not be the first visual records archived by Kishibe Cafe, but they turn out to be the representation of a collective memory. On the one hand, the photos entail the theme of this exhibition– “In a Cafe;” on the other hand, they delineate the connections and relations between our cafe and other people: a serendipitous “crash-into.”

It is difficult to articulate events happening in the linear passage of time. In particular, most daily-life events are driven in a way that is similar to our decisions on what’s for dinner; we especially tend to worry about what to have for dinner, but we will forget about such struggles afterwards. As daily-life events are inevitable and necessary, the unusual and fascinating events are the anchors of memory that adhere to your everyday life. The two kinds of events are intertwined and can only be disclosed by means of element reconstruction. The real history that assembles your memories is intrinsically related to your own self. The organizer of the exhibition (Claire Huang) unravels the authenticity of Kishibe Cafe. For all the participants (whether they are the staff members, the regular or new customers), the exhibition offers each of them to ruminate over their own memories and flashbacks. After all, a cafe is an ordinary and aura-less place that exists in your life. It will never be like the Sun. It will be an entity that embodies the qualities of being soft, inclusive, or even absurd, chaotic, and irrational.

這些錄音帶在被放在善書櫃被拿走之前，可能已經在不同人家的神桌底下躺上七八年無人聞問。有的錄音帶可能已經整卷壞掉，有的被其他內容覆蓋，有的還沒開封。進入串流音樂時代，音樂產業很難再從線上獲利的氣氛下，類比媒介銷路大過雷射唱片，卻不表示消費者買回家都會塞進錄放音機、唱機播放。那些近幾年由少數工廠不眠不休生產的錄音帶或唱片，多半變成客廳臥房擺飾，所以這裡不打算重現「去誰的房間看貓咪後空翻」的情境，這一兩百捲錄音帶就一直擺在這邊。

Here's another from Philadelphia's Rededication Week. This is no spontaneous celebration: the American Heritage Foundation sent an impressive array of materials to cities who hosted the #FreedomTrain, from logistics manuals to advertising packages to educational guides to media programming suggestions. http://ow.ly/Bvmy304fStB Photo courtesy of the National Archives and Records Administration.

September 17: Constitution Day. On this day in 1947, the Freedom Train departed Philadelphia and began its two-year tour across the United States. Many of the historic documents displayed on the train had deep ties to this city; some were written here, and quite a few were collected and loaned by our own Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach. Some are on view in our #FreedomTrain exhibition, open through November 1. http://ow.ly/UszZ304fRJ7 This photo was taken when the traveling exhibition returned to Philadelphia in 1949.

Museum Studies students peruse the FREEDOM TRAIN 1947-1949 exhibition. Many thanks for visiting us, @take5culture! 📷: @take5culture

The original Freedom Train project required its contributors to decide which documents and ideals should be considered fundamental to American democracy. Our exhibition reveals some of the debate behind those choices, and asks visitors: what would you include on a 2016 Freedom Train? http://ow.ly/n77f303rtDt (at Rosenbach Museum & Library)
