Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei

台北當代藝術館自2009年起，陸續策劃了一系列藝術進入社區的展覽活動，期盼透過走出美術館的圍牆，讓大眾在生活日常中與藝術自然且不經意的相遇。從【南西當紅‧中山印象】系列展覽，到每年中秋佳節前後固定舉辦的【街大歡囍】社區合作藝術展，五年來與社區居民密切的互動與合作，也促進赤峰街區成為台北文創新據點。 Since 2009, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Taipei has organized a series of exhibitions that brought art into the neighboring communities, hoping to step out of the museum walls and let the general public encounter and experience art in their living environment. From a series of exhibitions, titled Vision of Tatong, to Street Fun, Fun Street Community Art Festival held annually around the time of the Moon Festival, MOCA, Taipei has been closely interacting and collaborating with the community residents, turning Chifeng Street into an innovative site of creativity and culture in Taipei. 今年度【2015街大歡囍】當代X街區藝術節，「藝術萌芽」、「街區漫遊」及「入侵藝托邦」三個在社區空間裡相互關聯的子計畫，交織出秋高氣爽時節的巷弄美景。「藝術萌芽」計畫旨在強化藝術創作與居民參與的互動關係，今年由金屬工藝設計團隊爆炸毛頭與油炸朱利工作室、創新工藝設計團隊線加工及紙膠帶媒材藝術家吳芊頤，分別帶領社區居民認識與體驗當代金工創作、傳統媒材的創新活用以及最新時下文具新寵紙膠帶的變化應用，在暑期課程結束後，於社區空間中展出屬於居民共同的創作。 This year’s Street Fun, Fun Street – MOCA X Community Art Festival is comprised of three community-based subprojects respectively called “Art Buds,” “Street Walks,” and “Artopia Invasion,” interweaving a delightful, aesthetic landscape of the lanes and alleyways in the cool, crisp Fall season. “Art Buds” aims to enhance the ability of artistic creation and the interaction with the participating community residents. Three groups of artists are invited this year to individually guide the community residents to learn and experience the contemporary metalwork art, the innovative application of traditional materials, and the creative use of popular masking tapes. After the classes, the works created collectively by the residents will be displayed in the community space. 「街區漫遊」計畫中，邀請了十一位台灣的年輕藝術家，將他們對當代館周邊街區空間的細微觀察與感受，轉化為壁面彩繪、動態裝置、動畫影像、平面創作、公共藝術甚至是地方風情刊物等多元形式呈現，帶領觀眾以多重視角以及動態互動的途徑來認識/體驗這個社區固有的生活質感與新生的文創空間，在社區裡悠閒地散步，讓藝術迎面而來。 “Street Walks” invites eleven young Taiwanese artists to transform their subtle observations of and feelings toward the street space around the museum into colorful wall-paintings, spatial installations, video and animation works, graphic works, public art, and community-oriented publication. Through diverse perspectives and dynamic interactions, their works guide the audience to learn about and experience the characteristics of a community-based lifestyle and the newly created cultural spaces. Taking a walk in the community, art will be just around the corner. 「入侵藝托邦」計畫是當代館嘗試透過影像與空間的疊合，在老社區中探討新舊交融、文化消長、以及空間消逝與更新的議題。投映在老社區裡的影像，鑲嵌在城市之中，脫離日常，在異質空間與時間的對照/碰撞下，影像的虛像開始與現實空間產生對話。影像空間，因而也是一個虛擬、且流離於真實域外的異托邦(Heterotopia)。無名者、不可聞的記憶、和心理危機被鏡射顯影，在真實與虛構的影像部署之間，開展出對真實空間的想像再現與對抗辯證。藉此重探街區居民主體，並思索街區所處現實的妥協與想像的可能。 “Artopia Invasion” embodies MOCA, Taipei’s attempt to explore the integration of the new and the old, the appearance and disappearance of cultures and spaces in old communities through incorporating contemporary video art and living space. As video works are projected in old communities and embedded in the urban space, they become separated from the daily life and begin to contrast and collide with the heterogeneous space and time. The virtual images of the videos create a dialogue with the real space, producing a heterotopia that is virtual and existing outside of the reality. In between the reality and fictionality of the videos, we launch our imagination, representation and dialectics of the living space, and through which, re-examine the collective subject of the local residents while contemplating on the community’s existing reality and the possibilities of imagination. 台北當代藝術館長期推廣無牆美術館的概念，本次展覽很榮幸邀請到各位藝術家共襄盛舉，也特別感謝光能里陳靜筠里長、建泰里陳鵬程里長、市立建成國中劉文鴻校長，以及社區居民們的鼎力相助，還有街區裡眾多店家的熱心參與合作，共同推廣台北獨特的巷弄美學與真實樸質的生活文化！ Throughout the years, MOCA, Taipei has been promoting the concept of “a museum without walls,” and we are delighted to have had 19 artists take part in this exhibition. We would like to thank, in particular, the Guangneng Neighborhood Manager, Ms. Jing-yun Chen, the Jiantai Neighborhood Manager, Mr. Peng-cheng Chen, the principal of Jian Cheng Junior High School, Mr. Wen-hung Liu, as well as all the local residents for their valuable assistance and t he enthusiastic participation and collaboration of various stores and shops in the city blocks. Together, we will continue to promote Taipei’s unique aesthetics of lanes and alleyways and a real, simple culture of life! 【藝術漫步計畫】
