Although writing and drawing differ in that they involve the different uses of writing/drawing characteristic, they share one common trait; that is, they both entail the use and presentation of “lines.” In the field of calligraphy and painting, the two are even more interconnected as they are regularly united together.
 Children use lines to express themselves to the outside world. Random scribbling, controlled brushwork , and the writing of words demonstrate the different stages of children’s mental and physical development; how they feel; and what they see, recognize and can do.
 The “Drawriting!” exhibition, inspired by the idea that “calligraphy and painting are of the common origin,” uses lines, a method for children to express themselves, to connect writing and drawing together, offering children different experiences, encouraging them to explore different possibilities, inspiring them develop power of keen observation, and sparking their imagination and creativity.
 The exhibition introduces the works of artists such as Ting Yin-yung, Lu Fo-ting, Chiang Po-hsuan, Chi Guan-ti, Hung Tung, Chang Ya-hon, and Fung Mingchip. Moreover, it uses interactive designs to divide the exhibition section into different zones; namely, “Shape and Form,” “Mood,” “Rhythm,” and “Expression.” “Shape and Form” fuses writing and drawing together, guiding children in using lines to depict nature. “Mood” preaches the use of different stroke to express ones’ emotions. “Rhythm” illustrates how ones’ changing thoughts change what they write, evoking a sense of rhythm. “Expression” explores the possibilities of joining words and images together. Finally, children may use their bodies and limbs replacing their brush to play the “games,” crossing existing boundaries in writing and drawing and displaying the potential of bodies.

書寫與繪畫，雖然用筆可能有所不同，但「線條」的運用和表現，卻讓它們之間有了緊密關連。特別是在筆墨合一的書畫藝術裡，兩者更是相互為用而彼此共通。
線條，亦是兒童表達自我的重要方法、內外溝通的語言形式。凌亂無形的塗鴉、形象具體的描繪、乃至文字的書寫，體現了兒童不同階段的身心發展，也呈現了他們的所能、所見、所知或所感。
 「寫寫畫畫」展，由「書畫同源」的概念出發，以貼近兒童的表現語言 — 線條，串連起「寫」與「畫」，讓小朋友從中碰觸不同的體驗、開啟多方的探索，發展敏銳的觀察、想像與創造力。
 現場展出丁衍鏞、呂佛庭、江柏萱、紀冠地、洪通、張耀煌、馮明秋等藝術家的作品，搭配互動體驗的設計，劃分不同展區：「象形」，突破文字和圖像的界線，引小朋友玩味如何以線條摹寫自然；「表意」，訴諸「以筆表心」，將情感化為筆墨的表情；「造境」，展現「筆隨意轉」下，點劃的節奏與音律；「表現」，探索文字與圖像自由結合的可能，並且，除了用筆，也透過手腳並用乃至身體的遊戲參與，解放寫寫畫畫的既定框架，展現身體的動能。

｢寫寫畫畫｣展

What constitutes space? The vertical walls and pillars as well as the horizontal ceiling and floor in an exhibition venue are oftentimes ignored or overlooked. Nonetheless, these structures and the linear dimension they represent are defining elements for space. “Playing with Space” presented by Taoyuan Children's Art Center takes this as the point of departure. Through the huge installations of Wang Te-Yu, Lin Yu-Cheng, Chiu Yu-Wen, and Kou Tak-Leong, children and parents are invited to experience, participate, and explore space in games.
&nbsp;
Wang Te-Yu inflated an inflatable installation in between the ceiling and the floor. Visitors can step in to experience a space where boundaries dissolve while trace sounds in a quest for a spatial game that guides the tactile sense with the auditory sense and deploys bodily senses. Lin Yu-Cheng employs beams, pillars, walls, and stairs commonly seen. These elements are deconstructed and reassembled into a “stage” and the de facto protagonist therein that guides us to reopen our eyes to architectural spaces. The “little things” crafted by the artist cling to or hide in these components. In funs and wonders, it allows us to refocus on our everyday environment and rediscover ordinary corners. Architect Chiu Yu-Wen dissects a continual wall into several ones that intersect with one another, while separating pillars from walls. Visitors are welcome to walk among them to savor the novel experience of breaking free from the order and rules of space. Kou Tak-Leong utilizes laser to turn visitors’ bodies into “lighting coordinates” for positioning. Visitors can thus roam in the midst to appreciate the movement of “coordinates”, vividly sensing the whereabouts of their own while exploring the space.
&nbsp;
Children’s “spatial concept” is developed through bodily perception and authentic experience. It is essential to life learning and to scientific or artistic development. “Playing with Space” modifies, alters, and flips the existing exhibition space. These art installations that invite one to enter, to interact in games, and to immerse themselves in experiences stimulate one’s curiosity and acute perception as well as facilitate one’s formulation and rediscovery of spatial cognition via visual, auditory, tactile, and particularly bodily senses. Meanwhile, visitors young and old are invited to break free from the existing frameworks and open up their imagination toward space.
&nbsp;
ARTISTS WANG Te-Yu
Born in 1970, Wang obtained her MFA at the School of Fine Arts, Taipei National University of the Arts. Wang Te-Yu endeavors ceaselessly to explore space and ponder over human’s condition in space. Her practices oftentimes replace visual experience with bodily senses, allowing visitors to interact and practically “enter” her works.
LIN Yu-Cheng
Born in 1979, Lin Yu-Cheng graduated from the Department of Sculpture, National Taiwan University of Arts. He concerns himself with kinetic sculpture as well as engages in public art production. He often simulates bricks via rollover and produces “homemade” cement gears or motors for kinetic installation assembly. Through the mechanical operation therein, it symbolizes the repeated cycle of urban life.
CHIU Yu-Wen
Born in 1976, Chiu obtained his Master of Architecture from Cornell University in the U.S. He is a faculty at the Department of Architecture, Chung Yuan Christian University, and the head of Synchronic Composing Architect. Chiu and his team partook in and stood out in the selection for the 2nd edition of X-site Project organized by Taipei Fine Arts Museum in 2015.
KOU Tak-Leong
Born in Macau in 1991, Kou is an alumnus of the Department of Architecture, Shih Chien University, and of the New Media Art Department, Taipei National University of the Arts. The artist participated in Nuit Blanche Taipei and Yuejin Lantern Festival Tainan. Kou Tak-Leong’s practices mainly emphasizes technology and space, constantly broadening people’s perception and imagination via superimposition, reflection, and projection of light.

Playing with Space

空間是怎麼構成的？展場中垂直的牆與柱、水平的天花板與地面，常被忽略、視而不見。然而，這些結構及其所代表的線性維度，卻是界定空間的要素。桃園市兒童美術館的《空間遊戲》特展即由此出發，藉王德瑜、林育正、邱裕文及高德亮等藝術家的大型裝置，讓兒童或親子觀眾以遊戲性的方式參與體驗、探索空間。
&nbsp;
王德瑜在天花板與地面之間鼓起了一個充氣裝置，觀眾得以踏步進入，體驗界線消融的空間，也可循聲探索，進行一場以聽覺引領觸覺、開展身體感知的空間遊戲。林育正則讓常見的樑柱、牆面與樓梯，解構、重組成一處「舞台」也成為其中的主角，引人重新認識建築空間。藝術家塑造的「小東西」，攀附或藏身其間，更讓人充滿趣味與驚奇地重新關注日常環境、重新發現平凡角落。建築師邱裕文把連續的牆面切成錯綜的斷面，也把柱和牆分離，邀請大家穿梭其間，玩味打破空間秩序和規則的嶄新經驗。高德亮利用雷射光反轉觀眾身體成為定位的「發光座標」，讓觀眾漫步體會「座標」的移動，探索空間之際也具體感知自己的所在。
&nbsp;
兒童的「空間概念」發展，來自身體感知和實際體驗，它是生活學習也是科學或藝術發展所不可或缺。《空間遊戲》改造、變化、翻轉既定的展場空間，藉由得以進入其中、遊戲互動、身歷其境的藝術裝置，透過視覺、聽覺、觸覺、特別是身體感知，刺激對空間的好奇與敏銳觀察、促進空間認知的形塑或重新發現。同時，也邀請大小朋友突破既定框架，打開對空間的想像。
&nbsp;

The Taoyuan International Art Award, formerly known as the Taoyuan Contemporary Art Award, has been pursuing a new breakthrough in terms of its scale as a competition-based exhibition built upon the continuation of contemporary art experiment and innovative spirit. With the new system featuring a biennial art competition based on a non-category international open call, the Award invites scholars, art critics and artists to form an international jury committee to conscientiously select both Taiwanese and foreign artists for the award exhibition in Taoyuan. The objectives are to encourage diverse development of artistic creation, to cultivate contemporary art research, and to transform Taoyuan into a base for nurturing contemporary art talents, so that the space of outward exchanges and global dialogues can be expanded to further the link between Taiwan and the international art scene.
After its transformation, the first edition of the Taoyuan International Art Award organized its first international open call in 2020 and received more than six hundred artists’ submissions from forty-six countries. Seventeen finalists have been selected after a month-long selection process. The finalists come from nine countries, including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Bangladesh, the United States, Portugal, Latvia, and Greece, with diversified forms of art practice ranging from two-dimensional painting, three-dimensional installation, photography to video. With a nearly six-month preparation, the finalists have completed the installation of their artworks, either in person or via teleconferencing, at the Taoyuan Arts Center in early March 2021. They have also attended an interview with a live Q&amp;A session chaired by the jury committee for the second-stage selection. Finally, recipients of the Grand Prize, three Honorable Mentions, and the Sojourn Award are selected.
Generally speaking, the finalists in this edition have all shown distinctive approaches to their use of mediums and handling of space to develop their exploration of art-related subjects or engage with the current society, using art as a form of intervention to tackle issues related to environmental changes, politico-economic structures, and post-colonial identity. The presentation of these artworks has engendered more multilayered meanings in Taoyuan’s cultural context. In viewing each work, the audience are drawn into a process of dialectic thinking as well as an art experience richly informed with creativity, experimentality and global vision.
&nbsp;
Time: March 13 to April 18 9am to 5pm (Close on Mondays and National Holidays including April 4 to 5)
Venue: Taoyuan Arts Center 1F (No. 1188, Zhongzheng Rd., Taoyuan Dist., Taoyuan City 330, Taiwan (R.O.C.)&nbsp;)

桃美館與故宮的館際合作展《寫一首春天的詩》，藉詩文和書法藝術，迎接春天的到來！
&nbsp;
春天為四季之首，時晴時雨的天氣引發詩人無限情思。細數古典詩詞，常見春天為創作主題，因為爛漫春光，無限抒懷。國立故宮博物院典藏品《花氣薰人帖》，便是詩人黃庭堅在春日時節，受人贈花索詩，借景表達自己步入中年的心境，而訴諸筆墨的書法佳作，照映了文人交誼的情感。另一件故宮典藏品《寒食帖》，宋代詩人蘇軾書寫雨後花落，筆墨中流露詩人鬱悶的情緒。此二件書法典藏，透過延伸創作，製作成數位動畫，重現春天時詩人的心境。

寫一首春天的詩 - 桃美館X故宮書藝體驗展

Out of the Window&nbsp;
International Exhibition Produced by Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts &amp; Centraal Museum Utrecht
&nbsp;
Established on 1 January 2018, this year marks the 3rd year of Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts (TMoFA). In celebration of its 3rd anniversary of establishment, TMoFA works with the Centraal Museum of Utrecht, Netherlands across borders, selecting works in the collection of both while inviting nine works of short animations and video art for the special exhibition themed with “Out of the Window”.
&nbsp;
A window is essential to architecture for lighting and ventilation. The light introduced therefrom brings colors and images to the eyes, while the fresh air flowing through breathes life into it. A window is not merely an integral part of our living spaces, but also a place for overwatching rich with meanings. A window is like an eye, while the open and close of which determines the seen and unseen of the outside world. In applications of the Internet in the digital era, windows also involve in exchanges of information and resources, referred to as the interface in between individuals or countries. A “window” thus “blocks” while “connects” inside and outside. It not just reflects the “limit” in the physical reality but also symbolizes the “limitless” as the breakthrough psychologically and consciously.
&nbsp;
The theme “Out of the Window” refers to the physical space of the exhibition as well as the affluent metaphors and symbols residing in windows. The main complex of Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts is still under construction. At present, it takes the 5th and 6th floor of the Guang-Feng Building in Bade District as its place of operation. The exhibition unveils from the array of French windows on site to the outer walls, using huge projectors for the outdoor showcase of video installations. Hence, the limit of the museum’s existing space is broken, creating interaction and connection inside and out to usher in more public participation and expand the relationship between art and life. On top of that, we can look beyond the window for the vast horizon that art may bring forth.
&nbsp;
Participating artists from different countries and diverse cultural backgrounds showcase nine landscapes in “out of the window”, opening portals to different space-time via multiple dimensions. To the Moon by Hsin-Chien Huang and Laurie Anderson takes us to fly into the space, revisit the historic site that signifies the space competition between the U.S. and the USSR, and delve into the desire of humans in pursuit of technology. Meanwhile, it inquires fundamentally the very existence of mankind and the universe via the immense plain of desolation and the state of weightlessness. Masks of Folly by Han Hoogerbrugge reconfigures local fragments of history and culture in the colorful style of the medieval stained glass. The struggle of humanity as well as good and evil are presented in juxtaposition in a symbolic fashion. It is like the rows of rolling images on a slot machine for gambling that implies their unpredictability and recurring cycle.
&nbsp;
Tick Tock by Hsueh-Mien Wu employs a clock as its basis, manifesting the abstract notion of minute/second and the consciousness of time lively and vividly. She demonstrates the life on the clock while depicts the status of time inverted, confused, and disordered so as to ponder over the duality and absolutivity of “on track” and “off track”. Lotte &amp; Vince by Frans Hofmeester appeals to the continuity of images, investigating the theme of heterochrony through the footage of the growth of two residents in Utrecht. In a window of a few minutes, the appearances of the two kids Lotte and Vince growing from age 0 to 20 allows audience to see vividly the flowing of time and the changes it brings to humans. Like a documentary of a personal life history, it grants each of us the chance to see ourselves therein. In De Roeier by Jeroen Kooijmans, time seems suspended. Through a shot at close filled with intimacy, the artist shoots the young lady rowing a boat on a canal. The constant picturesque landscape and the repeated motion of rowing are simple as one. It is exceptionally serene, tender, and romantic. Kooijmans amplifies the weight of routines and the existential meaning of moments via a “poetic counter-narrative”, getting us rid of the image framework of a conventional spectacle in the consumer society nowadays.
&nbsp;
The Insatiable, one of the works in "Things That Are Edible" series of Jawshing Arthur Liou, employs a distinctive bird’s eye view to flip our everyday night market experience: the Zhongli Night Market that feeds commoners, crowded with people and glistening with lights, appears to be extraordinary beautiful. Over the winding long street, one sees rich micro details as well as the holistic macro picture. It is like a gluttonous warm/snake or a digesting bowel in motion, intriguing us into contemplating the meaning of night market as a life support system to a city.
&nbsp;
In Murmur and Whisper II by Wen-Hsin Teng, with the various gestures dancing to the music, the use body instead of words and the appeal to a living dialogue composed of watching instead of reading inspire vibrantly an alternative thinking toward language and symbol as well as toward interpersonal communication and conversation. The animation Extrapolate by Johan Rijpma also employs “hand” as the point of departure: the hand holding a pen to draw becomes the picture drawn. The repeated inversion of subject and object unveils a surreal imagination and inquires the logic of science. The term “extrapolate” in mathematics refers to a mean to build new data on the basis of known information, which is often employed for the purpose of future trend projection. What Rijpma extrapolated and derived from the hand-drawn contours turns out to be an automatic “record” of thoughts.
&nbsp;
Finally, Not Never No.com by Rafaël Rozendaal stresses on the visual communication in the virtual space on the Internet. The artist exceling online animation utilizes rich and colorful geometric shapes as well as the structural compositions full of tension like action vs. inaction and concentration vs. proliferation to explore the simple, pure visual experiences that are easy to share as his response to the visual tendency in the era of global networks.
&nbsp;
Visitors are invited to set their eyes “out of the window” physically and abstractly, jumping and traversing in between the ordinary and extraordinary, the real and surreal, and the inner cosmos and the outer world via domestic and foreign short videos which are in different perspectives and fields of views. The elapsed past, the present now, and the forthcoming future, be that been or yet to be, they could cross with each other on this moment perhaps. Setting our eyes “out of the window” from watching to imagining, let us gaze at the vision that is constantly generated and opening, exploring, transcending, and even flipping the “here and now” in reality.

Out of the Window

桃園市立美術館創設於2018年1月1日，至今已將屆三載。在歡慶成立三週年之際，桃美館與荷蘭烏特勒茲市的中央美術館跨國合作，精選雙方典藏以及特邀的9件短篇動畫與錄像作品，以「視窗之外」為題舉辦特展。
&nbsp;
窗，是建築中透光與通風所必須，引入的光線為雙眼帶來色彩與物像，流通的新鮮空氣滋養舒活的吐息。窗為生活空間中不可或缺之處，更是飽含意義的眺望之所。窗，就像眼睛，一開一闔間，決定了外面世界的見與不見。在數位時代的網路運用中，窗口/視窗更觸及訊息交換與資源分享，指涉人際間溝通以及國際間交流的介面。「窗」也因此，雖說「阻隔」卻也「連結」內外，雖反映了物理現實的「框限」但更象徵精神意識的突破而「無限」。
&nbsp;
「視窗之外」的命題，直指展覽所在的實體空間，亦訴諸窗/視窗所蘊含的豐富隱喻和象徵。桃美館的主體建築仍在興建，目前暫以八德區廣豐大樓五、六樓為據點。展覽乃是從基地所在的成排落地窗延伸至外牆，以大型投映裝置進行露天展演。藉此，突破美術館現有空間的侷限，創造內外的互動和連結，迎接更多的公眾參與、拓展藝術與生活的關係；也更藉此，遠眺窗格之外，藝術所可能帶來的遼闊視野。
&nbsp;
來自不同國度、殊異文化背景的參展藝術家，在「視窗之外」展現了九種圖景，從多元向度打開不同時空。黃心健與蘿瑞．安德森（Laurie Anderson）的〈登月〉，引我們躍入太空，重訪美國與蘇聯太空競技的關鍵性歷史現場，直探人類追逐科技的慾望；更藉無垠荒原、失重狀態，根本地詰問人類和宇宙的存在。漢．霍格布魯格（Han Hoogerbrugge）的〈愚人面具〉（Masks of Folly），以宛如中世紀彩色玻璃的鮮豔風格，重組地方歷史與文化的碎片。其中藉象徵手法並陳的人性鬥爭和善惡，像是博奕的拉霸機遊戲中一排排連續滾動的圖像，更隱喻其莫測的機率與一再復返的循環。
&nbsp;
吳雪綿的〈時間．終〉，直接以時鐘為基底，讓抽象的分秒、時間的意識，鮮明而具體。她展現分秒必爭的日常，亦傳達時間倒轉、錯亂和脫序的狀態，藉此思索「常軌」與「脫序」的二元論與絕對性。法蘭斯．霍夫梅斯特（Frans Hofmeester）的作品〈洛蒂與文斯〉（Lotte &amp; Vince）訴諸影像的連續性，藉由拍攝兩名烏特勒茲居民成長的影片，探索異時性的命題。在數分鐘的視窗中，兩個孩子洛蒂和文斯，從0歲成長到20歲的模樣，讓觀者具體得見時間的流逝及其在人類身上造成的變化。宛若個人生命史的紀錄，卻讓我們每個人都在其中看見了自己。傑羅恩．柯義吉曼斯（Jeroen Kooijmans）的〈划船者〉（De Roeier）中，時間卻彷彿停格。藝術家以近距離而充滿親密感的鏡頭，拍攝在運河划船的年輕女子。不變的如畫風光，反覆的搖槳動作，單純如一，異常地靜謐、柔和又浪漫。柯義吉曼斯以「詩意的反敘事」，放大了日常的重量與片刻的存在意義，帶我們跳脫現今消費社會慣常的奇觀化的影像框架。
&nbsp;
〈未央〉，劉肇興的「食事」系列作品之一，以獨特的高空視角，顛覆我們平常的夜市經驗：餵養市井小民的中壢夜市，萬頭鑽動、燈火閃爍，顯得瑰麗異常。蜿蜒的長街，滿佈微觀的細節又展現全視的整體，好比貪食的蟲蛇或說消化的腸道，緩緩蠕動，微妙地引人思索夜市作為城市維生系統的意義。
&nbsp;
鄧雯馨的〈牆角的窸窣囈語 — 無意義手語〉中，隨音樂舞動的各種手勢，藉助身體而非文字、訴諸於觀看更甚於閱讀的生動對話，活潑地啟發對語言與符號、對人際溝通與交談的另類思考。約翰．萊普瑪 (Johan Rijpma)的動畫〈外推〉（Extrapolate），同樣從「手」出發：握筆畫圖的手反轉為被畫的圖本身，主客異位又一再翻轉，藉此鋪展超現實想像、辯證科學邏輯。「外推」，在數學中意指從已知資料建構新數據的方法，常用來預測未來趨勢。萊普瑪以手繪線條「外推」、延伸出來的，卻是自動運作的思想「筆錄」。
&nbsp;
最後，拉斐爾．羅贊達爾（Rafaël Rozendaal）的〈不無可能.com〉（Not Never No.com），關照的則是虛擬網路空間中的視覺溝通。擅長網路動畫的藝術家以豐富多彩的幾何形式，動與靜、集中與擴散等饒富張力的結構佈局，探索簡明純粹而易於分享的視覺體驗，回應全球網路時代下的視覺趨勢。
&nbsp;
本展邀請觀眾既實際具體也在抽象概念上放眼「視窗之外」，透過國內外視角不一、視域有別的短片，在日常與異常、現實與超現實、內在宇宙與外在世界間，跳躍穿梭。已逝的過去、如今的當下、將近的未來，不論是已然或未曾經歷，或許也於此瞬時交會。放眼「視窗之外」，從觀看到想像，展望於持續生成又不斷打開的視野中，探索、超越乃至翻轉現實的「此在」。

Like Monsters

碩大的魚，長著人的臉孔，是深海的神秘新物種？彷彿植物又像動物，會是何種生物？動物身體卻有人的頭，是人還是獸？……不論如何，都「像極了怪獸」！在許多的信仰、藝術與文學中，例如山海經、歐洲中世紀藝術，以及臺灣民間傳說中，奇誕荒謬、宛如怪獸的生物不勝枚舉，展現了文化豐沛的創造力，也蘊含著層次豐富而多重的意義。
&nbsp;
桃園市兒童美術館舉辦《像極了怪獸》特展，展出李小鏡、吳權倫、林介文、林威丞、黃贊倫及曾麗娟等六位藝術家的創作，呈現他們將物種轉化與再詮釋，像極了怪獸的形象表現，並規劃了從作品衍生的三個互動體驗區。種種活潑、幽默、誇張、浪漫或詭異而猶似怪獸的形象，包括拼組的人獸合體、未來世界的進化人魚、植物形態的動物化、攪亂生活的恐龍，還有彷彿穿越古今虛擬世界的異獸，或者沉睡的犀牛角少女，引人驚訝、讓人好奇。
&nbsp;
究竟是誰「像極了怪獸」？是這些奇特的物種，還是人類？抑或是人類的世界呢？藝術家們的作品中，「像極了怪獸」的多元形象，激發著物種的聯想，以及科技發展、現實社會與生態關懷的思考，也擴充了大小朋友對未知世界的想像。

「小時候」特展

Inspired by map making, artists create to explore history archives, community environment, and individual migration experiences. They travel to other countries and cities with the spirit of exploration and various materials including digital maps, historical maps or soul maps to create through overlapping, positioning or virtual methods to transcend boundaries and present personalized arts. This Exhibition expects to lead children to observe their surrounding communities and inspire their imagination towards the world. Through mapping by their own, children will use maps as the carrier to record, discover, and dream.

Walking Maps

地圖承載了不同時期的自然地貌、建築街道、社會文化及政治領地等重要的訊息，具有將資訊轉化為視覺語言的功能。地圖包括地理環境和人文社會科學議題的時空資料處理，也涵蓋空間視覺化的思考，見證著時代的更迭。透過地圖的分析可窺得物換星移的人文地貌，一探活動軌跡，跨步思考全球文化的關係。
《遊走地圖》展，藝術家們以地圖為發想起點或創作核心，探索歷史檔案、社區環境及個人遷徙的經驗。他們遊走於國際與地方，懷抱著探險的心，運用不同的媒材，包括數位地圖、歷史地圖或心靈地圖等形式作為創作的手法，以套疊、定位或虛構的方式，跨越地圖學的疆域，創造出個性化的藝術表現。
《遊走地圖》希望能藉此帶領孩童從觀察社區的周圍環境到開啟對世界的想像，也藉由親身繪製地圖，使地圖成為記錄回憶、發現自我、創造夢想的載體。

「遊走地圖」展

Daily articles, animal footprints or bones, plant branches or fragments and even today's garbage along with the advancement of time can become important treasures to studying the human history or tracing to the ancient life.
The Tracing'' Exhibition transforms Taoyuan Children's Art Center into the headquarters for treasure hunting.'' From the archeological perspective and creative imagination, the Exhibition hopes to assist children's observations towards surrounding objects and environment and to encourage active exploration and curiosity in learning.

“Tracing”-From Archeological Vision to Art Imagination

日常生活的物件、動物的足跡或骨骸、植物的枝幹或碎片、乃至今日的廢棄物，伴隨著時間的推移，皆可作為研究人類的歷史或生活軌跡的重要寶物。《有跡可「尋」》展，將桃園市立兒童美術館化身為一座「尋寶」的基地。透過沙坑挖寶模擬、紋飾拓印工作坊及異材質拼貼等藝術的體驗，讓兒童從尋寶樂趣中，一同探究來自在地、來自遠古的訊息，將遙遠時空的遺跡場景，以想像力凝結在當下。
物件標本的研究或遺跡的調查，也激發了許多當代藝術家的創作靈感。例如：將科技產品「古物化」，或對社區的未來進行考古，展現對自然環境與歷史變遷的文化觀察；或以日常生活的拾得物，探索社會現代化的過程。藉由考古的視角、由此激發的想像，《有跡可｢尋｣》展希望能增進兒童對事物與環境的觀察，喚起主動探尋和學習的好奇心。

Inspired by mothers, the exhibition presented many aspects of modern mothers through artistic expressions, connecting the concept of motherly protection such as wombs, marsupium, nursing rooms, nests, and homes. Since the birth of their children, mothers constantly shape their relationships with the children and teach them to grow. The exhibition aimed to present mother-child interactions to encourage discovering, feeling, and learning ways to love.

Mothers & Babies – Ways to Love and Be Loved

以母親為主題所策劃，透過藝術表現方式呈現現代母親的多重面貌，藉由藝術作品來連結母親的保護概念，如同子宮、育兒袋、育嬰房到巢穴、家屋等，從蘊育誕生後仍不斷與孩童形塑彼此的互動關係，同時教導使其成長茁壯，期盼以藝術作品來傳達出親子間的互動，增進彼此發現、感受與學習到愛的方式。

【媽媽・寶貝—創造愛與被愛的方式特展】
