《VHS Dreams: The Art of Ghana's Mobile Cinema》：深掘迦納流動電影院手繪海報文化
在 1980 年代，迦納流動電影業者僅憑一台電視、錄影機和瓦斯發電機，就將電影的魔力帶到偏遠鄉村。由於缺乏完善的印刷基礎設施，他們轉向當地藝術家手繪海報。這些作品不僅僅是宣傳品，更發展出獨特的具象風格，一種以誇張肌肉、血腥戲劇和虛構怪物為特色的視覺文化就此誕生。 現在，洛杉磯的BEYOND THE STREETS正透過《VHS Dreams: The Art of Ghana's Mobile Cinema》展覽，聚焦這項極富創意的藝術形式。本次展覽由阿克拉（迦納首都）與芝加哥的Deadly Prey Gallery策劃，展出數量驚人且規模空前的原版手繪迦納電影海報。 此次展覽集結了 10 位來自阿克拉及其他地區的畫家作品，他們都對海報藝術情有獨鍾。這些獨一無二的作品經常繪製在回收的麵粉袋上，大膽地重新詮釋全球電影，同時融合了迦納的視覺傳統——諸如招牌繪畫、政治宣傳藝術和街頭美學——並揉合了粉絲藝術、西方廣告和游擊式行銷等元素。 在數位複製技術主導的當代，《VHS Dreams》再次彰顯了顏料、畫布和筆觸所帶來的觸感與實物質感。」、「這是一場對源於需求的藝術創造力的頌揚，是全球電影透過在地視角折射出的光芒，也是一種堅韌不拔、拒絕在歷史中消逝的視覺語言。」 《VHS Dreams》展覽將在 BEYOND THE STREETS 持續展出至 8 月 23 日。原版作品和版畫可透過官網購買。 BEYOND THE STREETS434 N La Brea Ave.,Los Angeles, CA 90036 相關報導 >Marina Abramović 與 Ulay 長達 12 年的愛與創作傳奇回顧展《ART VITAL》即將登場 >James Cameron 執導科幻大作《阿凡達：火與燼》首波電影預告正式來襲 >二度合體！UNDERCOVER x WTAPS 全新聯名系列「ONE ON ONE」正式登場

‘VHS Dreams' Explores the Art of Ghana's Mobile Cinema
Summary In the 1980s, Ghanaian mobile cinema operators brought the magic of movies to rural villages with little more than a TV, VCR and gas generator. Without access to ample printing infrastructure, they turned to local artists to create hand-painted posters. More than promotional materials, what emerged was a figurative form in a lane of its one; a visual culture defined by exaggerated muscles, blood-splattered drama and imagined monsters. Now,BEYOND THE STREETSin Los Angeles is shining a light on this inventive art form withVHS Dreams: The Art of Ghana's Mobile Cinema. Curated by Accra and Chicago-basedDeadly Prey Gallery, the show brings forth an impressive showcase of original, hand-painted Ghanaian movie posters – one of the largest of its kind. The exhibition presents work by 10 painters from Accra and beyond, bound by their affinity for the poster genre. Often painted on repurposed flour sacks, each one-of-one work stands as bold reinterpretations of global cinema, evoking Ghana's visual traditions — of sign painting, agitprop art and street aesthetics — fused with elements of fan art, Western advertising and guerrilla-style marketing. 'In a contemporary moment where digital reproduction dominates,VHS Dreamsreasserts the tactile, material presence of paint, canvas, and gesture,' the gallery wrote. 'It is a celebration of artistic invention born from necessity, of global cinema refracted through local eyes, and of an enduring, defiant visual language that refuses to fade into history.' VHS Dreamsis on view at BEYOND THE STREETS through August 23. Original works and prints are available for purchase via the gallery'swebsite.
