　　藝術創作是基本需求嗎？

　　實際上，生存本能常常促進藝術家的創作，有意或無意中，對人類和養料及庇護所之間關係的探索成為許多藝術作品的常見主題，後者的形象反覆出現。在不同程度上我們都一直處於焦慮之中，本能地尋求養料和庇護所。真實的生活把各種艱難狀況強加於我們，提醒我們藝術創作源於日常生存的微不足道的儀式。

　　儘管這些藝術家進行創作時採用完全不同的媒介、尺寸、大小、顏色和概念，但是他們都把養料和庇護所當作本能需求和藝術創作的支撐。同時，這些作品也提出了這兩個問題：消費動機和環境保護道德之間的關係是什麼？擁有感覺不錯的東西和必須擁有的東西之間的區別是什麼？

　　如果沒有足夠的養料、庇護所和水，基本生存會是一大挑戰。我們可能問自己的問題是，如果庇護所是安全的港灣，那麼藝術也是安全的港灣嗎?

　　Is art creation a basic need?

　　In fact, basic survival instincts are often the impetus for artists’ work.

　　Consciously or unconsciously an exploration of our relationship with food and shelter is a common theme underlying many art works. And images of food and shelter resurface again and again. To varying degrees we all exist in a continuous state of anxiety, instinctually seeking food and shelter. Real life imposes its harsh conditions. And we are reminded that art-making comes from the small daily rituals of every day survival.

　　These artists create works of disparate medium, size, color and concept. However, they all hang together on the basis of food and shelter as universal instinct and artist’s prop. These artworks also raise questions of motivations for consumption vs. the ethics of conservation, and the difference between what is nice to have and what is a must-have.

　　Without adequate food, shelter and water supplies, simple survival is a challenge. The question we may ask ourselves is if shelter is a safe haven, is art also a safe haven?
