第一次在螢幕上見到我便想要擁有，一張經典的牛皮沙發，自由地調整椅背與靠腳的角度，讓老朋友喬伊和錢德勒將自己的肉體交付給它，好沉溺在大眾媒體之中。可以的話，我想加入他們劇中夢幻的生活模式，陽光、歡樂以及所有的運氣，但我們有什麼選擇？像齊格蒙．鮑曼（Zygmunt Bauman ）和其他人在上個世紀所描述的那樣，現代社會的工作讓人在基本開銷之餘還有額外消費的可能性，但不足以累積財富以確保勞動力能持續投入，也沒有從根本改變的可能性存在（除非成為他們的一份子）。有趣的是，當人下定決心成為他們的一份子，這反倒是最有可能成功的事情。所謂的階級翻轉是否其實只有兩面：資本主義與其它？
失落與反抗滲透到大眾文化的另一側，瑟斯頓．摩爾（Thurston Moore）宣告要消滅唱片公司，瑞蒙．卡佛（Raymond Carver）寫了「需要我的時候給個電話」，比利．布雷格（Billy Bragg）試圖「向稅務人員解釋詩歌」、狂街傳教士（Manic Street Preachers）唱：「從農奴到消費者，由購買力建構起的美好世界…在寂寞的霓虹燈光下，荒蕪的心騎著摩托車漫遊…」。或者隨著泰勒．德頓（Tyler Durden）與愛人在小妖精樂團（The Pixies）的歌聲中，共同見證金融體制毀滅，滿足中產階級的幻想…。
寫著唱著演出著，他們教我意識到生活中理所當然背後的荒謬。問題是透過媒體讓這些人看起來實在太帥了，成為了明星、偶像！沒人可以反駁這些人所種下思想與行動的種子，但也沒人能阻止這些種子轉換成娛樂本身，讓行動無限推遲。直到某天我才意識到自己還在度過遲來的青春期，憤怒與無力感襲擊，長不大的男孩，卻也沾染了膚淺的世故，在努力與躺平之間拉扯。
懶惰男孩，懶惰男孩，依舊幻想著柔軟舒適的沙發，不論哪一種疲倦與厭倦，都在沙發柔軟的包覆下消失，像是〈猜火車〉（Trainspotting, 1996）的瑞登（Renton）替自己注射一管之後陷入地毯，什麼都不用管（但這又是一部「終將社會化」的成長電影）。
在此，我將展覽命名為「懶惰男孩」！
展覽單膝跪地，寶劍輕觸它的肩膀。
被賦予了「懶惰男孩」之名，成為矛盾意志的代言人。
A classic cowhide armchair, I've always wanted to own one since the first time I saw it on TV screen. Adjusting the angles of the recliner freely, let good old friends Joey and Chandler submit their bodies to it, immerse themselves in mass media. I want to join the dreamy lifestyle in the show, with sunshine, joy and all the lucks if I could. But what choices do we have? Like Zygmunt Bauman and others described in last century. Jobs in modern society allow people having the possibilities to consume additions beside basic living expenses, but not enough to accumulate fortune to ensure the constant commitment of workforce, nor the possibility of changing fundamentally. (Unless you become one of them.) The interesting part is when people determining to be one of them, this becomes the most likely successful thing. Does so called social mobility only have two sides: capitalism and the other?
Senses of loss and resistance penetrate the other side of popular culture. Thurston Moore declared to destroy record companies. Raymond Carver wrote Call If You Need Me. Billy Bragg attempted Talking with the Taxman About Poetry. “ From feudal serf to spender. This wonderful world of purchase power…Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness” Manic Street Preachers sang. Or along with Tyler Durden and his lover, witnessed the crumble of financial system saturated by the singing of The Pixies, fulfilled the fantasy of bourgeoisie⋯⋯
Writing, singing and performing, they taught me realizing the absurdity of the granted things in life. The problem is those people look so groovy through the media. They became stars, idols. No one can refute the seed of thoughts and actions those people cultivated. But there is no one can stop those seeds transforming into entertainment, letting actions defer infinitely. It was not until one day that I realized I was still in belated adolescence. Anger and hopelessness swept me. A boy who never grow up, stained with shallow sophistication nevertheless. A Battle between efforts and Lie-Flat.
Lazy Boy, La-Z-Boy, I am still fantasizing the soft comfortable armchair. Whatever tiredness or weariness disappear in the embrace of the soft armchair. Like Renton in Trainspotting(1996) falling into carpet after a shot of heroin, didn't worry about anything.(But this is another “eventually socializing” coming of age film.)
I hereby called this exhibition "Lazy Boy."
The exhibition gets down on one knee, a sword taps its shoulder.
It bestowed the name "Lazy Boy," becomes a endorsement of ambivalent will.
