Arachne’s Web Performance 阿朗克尼之網 演出
2025年個展《DURA MATER 鎧甲女神》將以一場采泥畫廊首次舉辦的特別活動作為結尾 - ≈繩縛表演，由繩師 Noir_Fix 與陳絲穎共同創作演出。
這特別演出旨在探索繩縛文化中的內在力量，以及女性友誼所蘊含的堅韌。
阿朗克尼的故事描述的是蜘蛛的來源：阿朗克尼是一位非常有才華，擅長編織工藝的女孩，因這非凡的才藝，他受到「工藝與智慧的女神」雅典娜的嫉妒，所以雅典娜在一怒之下把阿朗克妮變成了人間第一隻蜘蛛。本表演，是我們重新想像的後記：女神雅典娜回歸了人間，把阿朗克尼解放了，也把她的能力歸還了給她。

My 2025 solo exhibition DURA MATER closed with a special event never previously done at Taipei’s Chini Gallery: “Arachne’s Web”, a shibari performance with shibari rigger Noir_Fix. This collaborative performance is about finding power through the medium of rope bondage culture and finding the strength within female alliances and camaraderie.
“Arachne’s Web” is based on the origin of the spider, Arachne, in Greek Mythology. Arachne was a talented weaver - she became arrogant about her craft. This angered Athena - the goddess of craft and wisdom. Athena was also jealous of Arachne’s talent. So in a fit of rage - Athena turned Arachne into a spider.
This performance is our re-imagined epilogue: Athena returns to release Arachne from the curse. Hands the ropes (pun intended) and the power back to Arachne.
