Zer 0 的突破 – Creativity Has No Age Limit · Learning is Never Too Late to Start
Zer 0 的突破 is more than just an exhibition title — it is a play on words carrying a powerful message. In Chinese, the word for "zero" (0) is pronounced “Ling”, which sounds identical to the word for age (齡).This clever twist highlights the core spirit of this exhibition: a group of elderly women, all aged over 70 — with the oldest participant being 77 — who stepped into the world of ceramics with "zero" experience.
This story began during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when many elderly people faced heightened anxiety and uncertainty. Wanting to give back to the community, ceramic artist Solan Chiu took the lead, personally offering free pottery workshops to these senior students at the Giant Year Gallery studio. To further enrich their learning, guest artists were also invited to share their expertise along the way.
Meeting regularly, these women — who had never worked with clay before — learnt the skills and gradually unlocked their creativity in ceramics, discovering their own artistic voice along the way.
From knowing nothing about ceramics to gradually mastering techniques, these elderly students slowly discovered their creative voices, allowing their artworks to tell their personal stories and express their emotions.
Now, after years of dedication and practice, these women are proudly exhibiting their works alongside their teacher Solan Chiu and the guest artists who guided them, in this special joint exhibition — a celebration of their artistic journey and proof that creativity can bloom at any age.
Zer 0 的突破 sends a hopeful and empowering message: no matter how old you are, it is never too late to start learning something new, to discover your creative voice, and to turn zero experience into a beautiful story.
Zer 0 的突破 – 創意無齡界,學習不設限
Zer 0 的突破 不只是一個展覽名稱,更蘊含深遠意義。在中文裡,「0」的發音「齡」,正好與「年齡」的「齡」同音。這個巧妙的文字遊戲,道出了這次展覽的靈魂所在:一群年逾七十歲、最高齡達 77 歲的長者,帶著「零」經驗走進陶藝的世界。
這個故事始於新冠疫情期間,當時疫情反覆,致使許多長者情緒緊張和不安。陶藝家趙素蘭為回饋社會,開始義務舉辦免費陶藝工作坊,親自在巨年藝廊工作室教授這群長者。為了提升學員技巧,更請來客席老師指導大家。她們從完全不懂陶藝,到逐步掌握技巧,然後慢慢培養出屬於自己的創作風格,讓作品說出她們的故事與心聲。
經過數年的學習與實踐,這群長者終於準備好與趙素蘭及其他客席老師們攜手展出作品。透過這場聯合展覽,她們向大家展示自己的創意歷程,證明創意無分年齡,只要願意開始,藝術之路永遠為你打開。
Zer 0 的突破 傳遞一個充滿希望的訊息:無論你幾歲,都可以重新學習,發掘屬於自己的創意語言,從零開始,寫下屬於自己的精彩篇章。
