顏寧志 ｜跨領域藝術家・策展人・敘事型編導
生於1985年，台中，台灣。

是一位跨領域藝術家、策展人與敘事型編導，擁有十五年以上深耕臺灣與亞洲藝術現場的實踐經驗。其工作橫跨當代藝術、設計、表演、策展、品牌文化與文化研究，擅長在視覺藝術與表演藝術的交界中展開創作，並以跨領域維度拓展藝術實踐、策展規劃、文化論述與公共事件。

・不斷生成的視覺生命體做創作實踐

以純藝術背景為起點，創作版圖延伸至時尚、影像、裝置與劇場。其創作風格鮮明，擅長運用色彩、造型、線條與有機結構，建構富有生命感的視覺語彙。代表系列作品《沒有身體的器官》以有機性、系統性與身體企圖與慾望為核心命題，跨足多重媒材，呈現出不斷生成、變形與增殖的藝術生命體。對他而言，創作不只是產出，更是回應當代文化脈動的語言。


・核心方法：以文本為引擎，組構文化現場 在顏寧志的創作與策展方法中，「文本」始終是核心引擎。文字不只是說明工具，更是確立觀看角度、敘事結構與場域關係的生成基礎。文本先確立問題意識，再進一步轉化為展覽敘事、舞台行動與品牌溝通。他所理解的策展，不侷限於靜態展示，而是透過場域調度、視覺系統、觀眾路徑與社群動員，將視覺文化轉譯為能被感知、參與並持續延展的文化事件。 ・策展敘事：從獨立生態到公共文化事件 作為臺灣替代空間與獨立藝術生態的重要參與者，他曾歷任「新樂園藝術空間」成員與「自由人藝術公寓」總監，熟悉獨立藝術平台與跨機構合作的運作模式。在策展實踐上，其風格兼具敘事張力與實驗精神，曾主導策劃《誠品畫廊：動漫未來》、《大河美術：Face Me, Tag Me》、《人鬼交易所：臺灣文博會》，以及長期策劃「台北插畫藝術節」，持續透過大眾文化語彙重新書寫亞洲視角，推動藝術平台建構、社群連結與跨域共創。

・劇場轉向：視舞台為動態的展覽空間
近年，顏寧志將策展思維導入劇場，視舞台為動態的展覽空間。他曾獲選為「臺中國家歌劇院」駐館藝術家，並推出編導與美術設計作品《照妖鏡》，結合民俗傳說與都市異境，探索人性、慾望與觀看關係的流變；目前亦持續發展《台北寓言：一夜三部曲》等文本計畫。其劇場方法融合視覺藝術、時尚敘事與邁斯納 Meisner 表演訓練，關注文本如何轉化為身體、空間、情緒與集體觀看經驗。

・機構經驗與品牌跨界：在體制內外建立連結

顏寧志具備從獨立藝術空間、跨國駐村到正式美術館機構的跨場域經驗。曾獲選為「斯沃琪和平飯店藝術中心」與「四川美術學院」駐村藝術家，並參與多項國際交流計畫。現任朱銘美術館展覽部副理，參與大型展覽策劃、專案統籌、實體空間調度、製作協調與跨部門溝通，累積正式美術館機構中的展覽製作、專案管理與公共文化服務經驗。 同時，他長期與公部門、國際 NGO 及企業品牌合作，策畫範圍涵蓋 UBS 瑞士銀行、勤美集團、誠品集團、新光三越集團、承億酒店集團等企業與品牌藝術計畫，並曾與 Aesop、Swatch、Rado、NIKE、Vans、Converse、Twinings 等國際生活風格品牌合作，展現其在藝術實驗、品牌敘事與資源整合之間的跨場域轉譯能力。

顏寧志持續以創作為語言、文本為引擎、策展為方法，並以導演思維組織場域。他穿梭於藝術、劇場、品牌與社群之間，致力於從亞洲視角拓展當代視覺文化與公共文化事件的多重可能，並持續思考藝術在未來世界中的感知與想像。

In his curatorial practice, Yen is known for combining narrative intensity with experimental spirit. He rearticulates local cultures and contemporary Asian perspectives through visual storytelling and pop-cultural language. Notable projects include Animamix Flux (2022, Eslite Gallery), Face Me, Tag Me (2023, Great River Art), and Ghost Exchange Bureau (2024, Creative Expo Taiwan).
