本次展览主要探讨艺术与限制的关系，以及艺术突破限制的意义。每一次艺术的突破，都会使它进入一段稳定的历史阶段。从艺术的突破到风格的确立，伴随着既定规则的界限崩塌，艺术家个人野心也在这个过程中得以体现。这种界限，除了大众审美的根深蒂固，还在于某些区域阶段性的人为限定。展览题目借用希区柯克1946年的电影《美人计》所出现的画面符号作为证明，影片长时间的吻戏，触碰了当时最为严苛的电影审查制度“海斯法案”，为了避免吻戏超过3分钟，导演加入了“电话”，并插科打诨式地插入无关的对白。在此，“吻与电话”发生了奇妙的关联，这不仅仅是影片中两位主人公调情的桥段，更是浪漫而巧妙地对于限制的还击。在此，我们借用“吻与电话”这对元素所引发的情景，来概括艺术风格确立之前的曼妙和来自区域文化差异所反映出来的界限差异。
The exhibition discusses the relationship between art and restriction, as well as the significance of art breaking restrictions. Every breaking through art would lead art into a stable historical development. During the process from the breakthrough to when a principle is established, accompanying the collapse of a set of rules’ restriction, the personal ambition of the artist would be reflected. Besides the popular aesthetic preferences ingrained in general public, the restriction lies in the constraint installed by people during certain period in some region. The name of the exhibition is borrowed from the symbolic images in Notorious directed by Hitchcock in 1946. Because the long shoot of the kissing scene in the film would have violated the Hays Code, the harshest film censorship at that moment, the director inserted scenes of telephone and dialogues unrelated to the context to keep the kissing scene within three minutes. It was not only a segment of the two main characters flirting, but also a romantic and clever retaliation against the restriction. In our exhibition, we borrow this scenario triggered by the pair of elements, Kiss and Tel, to recap the ingeniousness before a principle becomes established and the restriction differences originated from regional cultural divergence.
