當代藝術的一個重要精神,就是「破格」,突破既定的創作規則和美學,當代館在此概念下,承襲2011年「中山印象」系列展覽,走出美術館,以「藝術介入空間」的思考點,規劃【街大歡囍─中山印象秋樂祭‧當代文創嘉年華】特展,以一連串取材自社區空間的創作元素,實現藝術教育於社區中落實與融合的可能。
【街大歡囍】以發展歷史悠久的「中山雙連街區」為主要範圍,內容包含四個子計劃:一、「文創進駐街區計劃」:邀請13組藝術家以及文創工作者進駐街區創作並舉辦展覽,與既有的藝文空間串連發酵;二、「街區影像計劃」:邀請5位攝影師透過鏡頭帶領觀眾走入街區,引領人們從新視角來欣賞老舊街區;三、「街區聲音計劃」:找來8組聲響藝術家與樂團,取材在地產業、空間之聲音做創作;四、「當代秋樂節」:配合國人中秋節歡聚同樂的習俗,舉辦一場結合音樂、藝術、創作與市集的活動,邀請在地居民同歡之餘,也從中認識獨立音樂與當代藝術的旨趣關聯。
特別的是,這四大子計畫發生的場域,就在日常生活的角落、老洋樓的女兒牆、摩登的時尚店家、人潮熙攘的捷運站…,打破你對藝術展演的經驗和想像。在此參與的民眾,為了藝術大街小巷走透透,就像波特萊爾(Charles Baudelaire)筆下的漫遊者(flâneur),遊走於都市街巷,觀察和捕捉城市的各種面貌,從中擷取創作和生活靈感。
秋風吹起之際,當代館邀請你,在9月21日至10月21日期間,相偕好友來到「中山雙連街區」以及台北捷運地下街「地下實驗‧創意秀場」,在歷史街廓尋找文創藝術的蹤跡,一同聽樂賞月玩藝術!
One of the most important spirits of contemporary art is to break the rules and find new creative and aesthetic expressions. With this concept in mind, MoCA Taipei continues with the series of Zhongshan Impression from 2011 to extend beyond the walls of the museum with ideas of integrating art into public spaces. Street Fun‧Fun Street is an exhibition that links together creative elements inspired by the community and is also an effort towards the realization of bringing art education to the community.
The parameter of Street Fun‧Fun Street includes the areas in the historical district between the areas of Zhongshan and Shuanglian, with its contents including four sub-projects of: 1. Neighborhood Cultural and Creative Project: 13 artists and creative talents are invited to spend time in the area to create exhibitions and to also link with existing art spaces; 2. Neighborhood Visual Project: 5 photographers are invited to guide people into the community through their camera lenses. Opportunities are created for people to see the old community with new perspectives; 3. Neighborhood Sound Project: 8 sound artists and music groups are invited to utilize sounds extracted from the local businesses and spaces to create sound artworks; and lastly, 4. Contemporary Autumn Fun: In accordance with the local Autumn Moon Festival celebration, an event that combines music, art, creative elements and a bazaar will be presented for local residents to come together and have fun. While enjoying the festivities, a chance is also offered for the public to learn about the interesting connections between independent music and contemporary art.
The most special part about this project is that these four sub-projects will take place at everyday locations in the neighborhood, such as on the parapet wall of an old house, a fashion store, and at the bustling metro station. The aim is to break people’s preconceived notions about art. Take part in this exhibition and wonder in the streets and alleyways paved with art, and be like one of Baudelaire’s flâneurs. Explore the city and be enchanted by its multifaceted charms, and be inspired to live more creativity.
As the gentle autumn breezes swift by, from September 21st to October 21st, MoCA Taipei invites you to bring your friends to the neighborhood of Zhongshan and Shuanglian and MoCA Studio at the MRT Underground Street. Embark on a journey to explore the imprints of art and culture in these historical streets and lanes, and marvel at the moon for a celebration infused with art and music!
