長期關注當代藝術，並以「用藝術創造台灣新價值」自期的台新金控；其支持的「台新藝術獎」， 6月4日在眾多藝文界與金融界貴賓參與的頒獎典禮中，藝術家許哲瑜以去年在台北市立美術館展出的《麥克風試音─許哲瑜個展》拿下獎金一百五十萬元的年度大獎。獎項由台新金控董事長，也是台新銀行文化藝術基金會創辦人吳東亮先生，現場揭曉並親自頒發。

Taishin Arts Award, Taiwan's most prestigious prize for contemporary arts, has announced the14th edition of the Taishin Arts Award Winners, with Hsu Che-Yu winning the Grand Prize ofNTD 1.5 million for his solo exhibition of Microphone Test, premiered at the Taipei Fine ArtsMuseum in the fall of 2015. The Grand Prize was revealed and presented by the chairman ofTaishin Financial Holdings as well as the founder of Taishin Bank Foundation for Arts andCulture, Mr. Thomas WU.

大獎由國內外五位決選委員所組成的國際決選團選出，由陳郁秀擔任主席，藝術評論人林志明、紀慧玲，以及比利時布魯塞爾藝術節創辦人弗莉．蕾森(Frie Leysen)、日本東京都寫真美術館首席策展人笠原美智子(Kasahara Michiko)，所組成的國際決選團，針對五件入選作品，包括李明維《李明維與他的關係：參與的藝術》、身體氣象館《長夜漫漫路迢迢》、杵音文化藝術團《牆上。痕Mailulay》、許哲瑜《麥克風試音─許哲瑜個展》、國光劇團《十八羅漢圖》，連續三日討論及藝術家會面；由於每件作品均有其獨特表現，在個別脈絡中也甚具卓越性，數度討論膠著，最後一日在長達12小時的會議，產出本屆大獎得主。決選委員們認為許哲瑜獲獎理由為：

「許哲瑜作品中視覺藝術與文字創作之互文指涉，反映台灣當代藝術一股新趨勢。此次展覽洗鍊地運用多層次的文本，處理死亡、歷史、記憶及媒體，其真實、再現與被建構之間的辯證。透過後設的反省觀點，產生令人信服的創新成果。

藝術家長期實踐錄影影像與手繪動畫之疊合，創造出鮮明的藝術語言。對於其長期關注的媒體敘事，此作加入個人私密故事，與新聞議題映照，達成跳躍性的突破。

展場豐富的裝置元素，融入敘事主題，幽微隱現的劇場感將觀眾身體感官置於岌岌可危的臨界狀態，營造出令人印象深刻的氣氛。」

The annual Taishin Arts Award recognizes outstanding works of dance, theatre, music and visual arts that have premiered in the preceding calendar year. Within the five winners, the Grand Prize Winner was finally selected by five foreign and Taiwanese jurors who formed an international jury committee, in which Ms. Tchen Yu-Chiou was the chair of the committee. The other four jurors included two art critics, Mr. Lin Chi-Ming and Ms. Chi Hui-Ling, the founder of Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels, Ms. Frie Leysen, and the chief curator of the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, Ms. Kasahara Michiko. The international Jury committee has selected Hsu's work with the committee comments that Hsu has indicated:

HSU Che-Yu’s work indicates a new trend of inter-textural reference between visual art and creative writing in Taiwan’s contemporary art scene. This exhibition sophisticatedly deploys multi-leveled texts to deal with the dialectic relationship between reality, representation and construction of media, memory, history and death. The exhibition’s rich installation elements blend into the narrative themes. The looming theatrical atmosphere brings the spectators into a liminal situation.

The artist has created his own artistic language through a long-term practice of combining black and white video images with hand-drawn animations. The artist has mingled personal, intimate stories of his friends and himself with mass media narratives, which is a constant interest of HSU. Public news topics meet the private.

This exhibition means a major breakthrough in the artist's career.

今年31歲的許哲瑜，畢業於台南藝術大學造形藝術研究所，作品以錄像、裝置為主要創作媒材，主要展覽經歷有：《麥克風試音》、《文化碰撞︰穿越東北亞》、《語言是一種病毒》等。作品曾獲高雄市立美術館「高雄獎」之首獎、國立台灣美術館「全國美術展」之新媒體類金牌獎。年輕的許哲瑜亦是首度入圍台新藝術獎即獲大獎。 

在「時代精神」、「人文關注」與「未來性」的評選方向下，台新藝術獎以主動提名及評論書寫、跨領域評選的創新機制著稱，為目前國內獎金最高的藝術獎項。年度大獎得主獨得獎金新台幣一百五十萬元，年度入選獎四名，各頒獎金新台幣五十萬元，總獎額共計三百五十萬元整。

以五項得獎作品為主，同時介紹其他入圍作品的「第十四屆台新藝術獎大展」，目前於北師美術館展出中，展期至7月17日。週邊活動可透過台新藝術基金會網站查詢，歡迎民眾把握展期前往欣賞，與台新藝術獎一同分享台灣當代藝術家/團隊的耀眼成就。

Thirty-one years old, Hsu Che-Yu holds an MFA in Plastic Arts from Tainan National University of the Arts. He specializes in video and installation art, and his exhibition experiences include Microphone Test, Familiar Otherness: Art Across Northeast Asia, Language is a Virus, etc. He has won the First Prize of the Kaohsiung Award by the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, and the Gold Medal in New Media Art in National Art Exhibition by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.
