&nbsp;
Meta-Calligraphy: Ko Liang-Chih is the exhibition for the awardee of the Hengshan Calligraphy Award. The Hengshan Calligraphy Award aims to promote calligraphy exhibitions and creations that are of the zeitgeist and pioneering perspectives in various forms and contents.
&nbsp;
In the sweeping wave of digitalization in the 21st century, it has become highly challenging for calligraphy to catch people’s eye. Thus, artists whose work is centered on handwriting must move beyond recounting life experiences and consider how to infuse and enrich their art with new concepts. For this reason, the Chinese title of Meta-Calligraphy: Ko Liang-Chi intentionally alludes to a photography term, "depth of field" (i.e., the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that are in acceptably sharp focus in an image captured with a camera), in an attempt to shift the focus from the two-dimensional presentation of calligraphy to various unrevealed processes, procedures, stages, scenarios, and states of perception that one might encounter before arriving at the ultimate result. Besides hoping to break free from the single aesthetic standard of traditional calligraphy that only judges the ultimate two-dimensional outcome, the exhibition also emphasizes how a contemporary artist comprehensively examines the relationship between traditional and modern calligraphy from diverse perspectives. It investigates how words change over time in terms of meaning and cultural context to discover various ways handwriting can enter the realm of modern art.
&nbsp;
Having observed for many years the foothold and possible expressions of handwriting within contemporary art, Ko Liang-Chih tries to break free from the convention of sorting and displaying calligraphy art according to the calligraphy script or content. This exhibition showcases seven sets of artworks made from different media, including two-dimensional works, video installations, NFTs, and interactive installations that encourage visitor participation. These works may partially overlap, prompting diverse perceptions about handwriting.

Meta──Calligraphy : Ko Liang-Chih

Parent-child relationship is often depicted from the perspective of motherhood, where the fathering role is usually ignored. "Papahood" attempts to explore the special parent-child relationship and bond from a father’s angle, unveiling the various images, moods and desires of fathers through artistic works by creators with ‘dual identities’ as father and artist.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The seven groups of invited artists, which include Mirza Čizmić, Lee Wen-Cheng + Nagee, Lee Ming-Hsueh, Lin Chi-Wei, Chen Chien-Jung, Huang Yi-Min + Chen Yen-Yi, and So Yo Hen, embed the notion of fatherhood in their artworks, using the language of art to evoke the child’s impression of a father or their creative thoughts. These father-and-child stories vary: an exchange of memories and affection between Čizmić and his father; a submarine packed with island stories by Lee Wen-Cheng and Nagee; an object metaphor that carries all sorts of projective identification and relationship expectations by Lee Ming-Hsueh; a flipped relationship created by Lin Chi-Wei allowing adults to learn words like babies do; an integration of the child’s toy’s design into paintings by Chen Chien-Jung; the shadow theater created by Huang Yi-Min and Chen Yen-Yi shows what new parents want to say to their children; or like So Yo Hen, who struggles between art making and childcare duties, an artist who must work in his spare time after putting the kids to bed.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
From "Mothers &amp; Babies – Ways to Love and Be Loved" in 2019 to "Papahood" of this year, we aim to explore the flow of affection between parent and child through the language of art. The Papahood exhibition came just in time for this year’s Father's Day, when visitors will be able to see, listen, and touch these daddy artists’ heart and emotions through their artworks. The interactive workshop allows imaginative children to react and get close to the image of their father. Daddy and baby: papahood is not only the connection of relationship, but also the attachment of mutual affection and care.

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

「光」在我們的生命中，佔據我們的日常，但我們觸摸不到它，所以往往習慣它的存在。「來點光吧」展出王雅慧、王博彥、李屏宜、謝佑承、蔡宜婷、飛人集社劇團、劉國松等七組藝術家/團隊的作品，透過錄像、繪畫、互動裝置、劇場等不同當代藝術創作，捕捉光的不同形象與姿態、挖掘光的本質，更提問光可能的模樣。
謝佑承以「燭火」為題，於展場佈置七面窗台，透過投影與靜物的交互關係，引發孩童動手實驗、觀察燭影的好奇心，一同玩「捉影」遊戲。蔡宜婷運用馬達、紫外光和變色漆，以感光原理捕捉光的擺動軌跡，更首次為展覽打造大型的「光畫布」空間，邀請親子觀眾手持紫外光燈源，一起勾勒光的軌跡。飛人集社劇團現地搭建一座「光影戲」裝置，邀請親子觀眾加入人偶共演劇場，運用光影說故事。
劉國松翻轉觀者對月亮的日常視角，體驗太空人登上月球遙望地球的視野；王雅慧和李屏宜則要帶孩童走入夜晚的燈火世界，打開其對夜光的想像力。王博彥運用動畫，展演太陽照射下瞬息萬變的日光，讓孩童現場共創「光景捕捉牆」，試著畫出流動的太陽光。策展團隊邀請孩童透過即興創作、身體展演，並試著覺察光、紀錄光並創造光，甚至運用光作為工具，說自己的故事。
連結展覽策劃的「STEAM工作坊」兒童作品、繪本閱讀區、自導式教具和想像力練習等活動，並透過不同藝術家的感性與理性，引導孩童開啟一場以光為主題的思考與漫遊。

Curatorial Team：Coexist Exhibition Artists：Wang Chika, Jiang Bo-xuan, Ho Ching-chwang, Hung Yun-ting, Po Chiao-ling, Xu Jiong, Ni Hao, Chang Jia-chae, Yeh Yi-lin, Tsai Tsung-yu,&nbsp; Liu Hsing-yu
&nbsp;
This exhibition comes from the Chinese word chidu, which we know today as letters. Chidu is a medium that conveys messages through words. Originating from writing on bamboo and wooden slips to paper, chidu is no longer merely a physical substance but a symbol that reveals feelings and manifests conscious thoughts. Until now, discussions of chidu either treat it as a literary genre and style, or as objects for the history of literature and calligraphy from the author’s perspective as a writer or calligrapher. Aside from these discussions, this exhibition hopes to propose the possibility of a new aspect. Treating chidu as an event in calligraphy art, the curatorial team hopes to provide a vision between calligraphic tradition and contemporary art through this collection of works. Thus, the exhibition shifts the focus from "What is chidu?" to "What can chidu be?" and further "What can calligraphy be," providing fluctuating and innovative criticism of contemporary art.
This exhibition is selected from the call for curatorial proposals of the Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center. The curatorial team consists of the younger generation of artists and calligraphers. The exhibition includes works by artists Chika Wang, Chiang Po-hsuan, Ho Ching-chwang, Hung Yun-ting, Po Chiao-ling, Xu Jiong, Ni Hao, Chang Chia-che, Yeh Yi-lin, Tsai Tsung-yu, and Liu Hsing-yu. Not all of them are of background in calligraphy. Some just began a conversation with calligraphy, some re-interpreted their works with a calligraphic perspective in this exhibition, and others purposefully avoided using ink and brush to explore the possibilities in calligraphy.
The calligraphic multiverse is expanding. This exhibition aims to be a “calligraphic event,” showcasing artists’ daring and brave spirit in the name of chidu.

當態度變為尺牘？書寫–往返–語境–性別–迷因
What If Attitudes Become Letters? Writing - Correspondence - Context - Gender&nbsp; -&nbsp; Meme
展覽時間：2022.10.8-2022.12.26
策展團隊：多元成展
藝術家：王千華、江柏萱、何景窗、洪韵婷、柏巧玲、許炯、倪灝、張嘉哲、葉乙麟、蔡宗祐、劉星佑（依姓氏筆畫排序）
&nbsp;
此展為桃園市立美術館舉辦111年橫山書法藝術館「策展徵件」獲選之展覽，策展團隊由新一代的藝術家、書法家組成，展名為「當態度變為尺牘？書寫–往返–語境–性別–迷因」。
尺牘即今人所認知的書信，是傳遞文字訊息的媒介。從竹簡、木牘到紙張，隨著歷史的演變，尺牘不只是物質的存在，更是表露情意、彰顯精神性的象徵。目前關於尺牘的討論，或視尺牘為一種文本的體裁與風格，或以作者觀點出發，以文學家與書法家之名，進行文學史與書法史的探討。漢代揚雄曾云：「書，心畫也。」尺牘是訊息自身，也是媒材自身。「什麼是尺牘？」轉向「尺牘可以是什麼？」，也間接叩問「書法可以是什麼？」。更甚者，尺牘作為一種媒介為當代藝術提供了更具流變性與創造性的批評。本次展覽則希望在原先的討論之外，思考另外一種面向的可能性，企圖讓「尺牘」成為書法藝術的事件，藉由作品探照書法與當代藝術之間的視野。
此次參展藝術家為王千華、江柏萱、何景窗、洪韵婷、柏巧玲、許炯、倪灝、張嘉哲、葉乙麟、蔡宗祐與劉星佑（依姓氏筆畫排序）。藝術家的養成背景並非全然與書法有關，其中所展出的作品則是因本展而展開第一次與「書法對話」的創作，有些已完成的作品，則是在參展後，才被賦予有關書法的詮釋，還有些善書的創作者，刻意不以筆墨紙本的形式參展，希望啟發書法藝術在書寫創作上的各種可能性。
策展團隊表示，書法藝術的多重宇宙正在進行中，此次受橫山書法藝術館所啓發的「書法」事件，展現了藝術家以尺牘為名的戇膽與挑戰，試圖探索更貼近當代的生活經驗，擴大新世代的共鳴。

觀‧擬‧什麼事？—關於「書藝」的對話紀錄
策展人：王焜生
藝術家：黃俊嘉
桃園市立美術館於111年起辦理橫山書法藝術館「申請展」，以橫山書法藝術館為平台，鼓勵書法藝術創作，推動書法藝術之多元、開放與創新發展。首屆「申請展」獲選提案為藝術家黃俊嘉「觀‧擬‧什麼事？—關於『書藝』的對話紀錄」，並邀請策展人王焜生策劃。
年輕書藝家黃俊嘉在此個展中以傳統書藝為本，內容則不再以嚴肅的內容為載體，反而更多取擷自當代生活裡的日常對話作為反映現實的寫照。書寫內容不只是文言詩詞，更多的語句是日常生活裡隨時聽聞的街巷對話，觀看閱讀之時，觀眾開始口中唸出字句，擬想情境，赫然發現藝術家將觀者帶出書房之外，置身於巷弄里鄰之間，彷彿可以聽見男女老少彼此之間的對話，而這些內容還充滿著常民戲謔或者調侃的趣味。正襟危坐論書藝的嚴肅感在這裡被日常口吻與年輕氣氛所取代。
黃俊嘉在書寫上，將漢字單獨獨立出來，從字義與字型的關係探討其象徵意義，運用篆書象形的特徵加入抽象的精神表現。一方面，黃俊嘉回到自己彰化成長的背景，回想過去與現在家鄉親友或鄰居的日常對話中包含閩南語成為書寫並可被閱讀，其間轉折產生的口語X書寫X閱讀的關連與失調，也成為Z世代面對書藝的新想法。

觀‧擬‧什麼事？—關於「書藝」的對話紀錄

Curator：Emerson Wang
Artist：Huang Chun-chia
The Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts aims to promote the diverse, open, and innovative development of calligraphy art with the venue of Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center (HCAC) as the exhibition platform. Huang Chun-chia's latest solo exhibition, “Observe and Portray”, is selected from the first HACA’s exhibition application and curated by Emerson Wang.
In this exhibition, young calligrapher Huang Chun-chia builds on the foundation of traditional calligraphy. However, instead of serious subject matters, he selects conversations from daily life to reflect reality. His works no longer merely present classical Chinese poetry but include casual dialogues. While seeing his work, one could read aloud, imagine the situation, and suddenly realize that the artist has brought the viewer out of the studio and into the neighborhood streets, where everyone talks or chats, jokes or mocks. The serious tone and solemnity of calligraphy are thus replaced by a casual and delightful atmosphere.
When writing, he examines Chinese characters individually, explores the symbolism in the relationship between their meaning and form, and adds abstract expression to the representational quality of words. Digging into his memories of Changhua, where he grew up, Huang recollects the conversations—some in Taiwanese Hokkien—between his relatives, friends, or neighbors in the past and now, and calligraphs them out so that these dialogues can be read. The connections and discrepancies of his works in the exhibition can be seen as new ideas that Generation Z has come up with when interacting with the calligraphic tradition.

Observe and Portray 

Since 2019, the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts has been promoting its ‘Artist-in-Residence Project’ initiative, inviting artists to utilize on-site exhibition and library resources and guide parents and schoolchildren from an artist’s perspective to explore the resources available at the Taoyuan Children’s Art Center. These projects immerse audiences in the context of each individual artist’s creation and their way of thinking.
In 2022, the Artist-in-Residence Project will be implemented in the form of an exhibition focused on the Children's Art Center. Artists are invited to showcase the Center’s various features while considering how the Center’s location within a shopping mall affects the Center’s spatial layout and visitor demographics. In this sense, the artist will become an adventurer within the Art Center, transforming into a prospector with his/her work of art and guiding children as they explore the Art Center and discover its hidden secrets.
Six groups of artists are invited to participle in the exhibition. The art works by Sandwishes Studio, Walking Grass Agriculture, and Chien-Chung Liao correspond with the Art Center’s daily operations — otherwise hidden behind the scenes from visitors — from the perspectives of observation/monitoring, space design, and exhibition installation. Artist Chien-Yi Wu opens up the unused space and, under the light streaming through the window, reflects her wishes for the future of Children’s Art. Shu-Kai Lin invites children to build their own art center from imaginary and realistic urban scenes. Cooperating with the teachers and students of Dayong Elementary School, Yu-Ting Lin invites these students to write down their memories, expectations and even fantasies associated with the Children's Art Center.
‘Behind the Scenes’ is a children-focused program that inspires children's imagination through on-site art creation. And to inspire children to create works based on the ‘museum’ theme to demonstrate the various possible appearances of the Taoyuan Children's Art Center.

Behind the Scenes

2019年起桃園市立美術館推動「藝術家駐館計畫」，邀請藝術家結合當期展覽主題及圖書館資源，引導親子及學童從藝術家的視角，共同探索桃園市兒童美術館的雙「館」資源，並親近個別藝術家的創作脈絡與思考方式。
2022年「藝術家駐館計畫」以展覽形式呈現，將目光放回兒美館，由藝術家共同思考座落於商場空間的美術館，如何在館舍空間、群眾組成等條件上的特殊性，呈現美術館各種特色切面。在此意義上，藝術家成為美術館的探險者，將跟著作品化身為引領孩童探索美術館的探勘器，一起探索美術館不為人知的神祕面貌。
展覽邀請六組藝術家／團隊，走路草農／藝團、三明治工及廖建忠的作品，分別從觀看／監視、展場空間設計、佈展工作等角度，呼應美術館日常的幕後運作。吳芊頤打開過去不曾使用的空間，在窗景光影下閃爍著對兒美館的未來想望。林書楷從想像與現實的城市場景，邀請孩童建造專屬自己的美術館建築。林玉婷與大勇國小美術老師合作，帶領學生記錄著自己與兒美館的記憶，甚至是期待與狂想。
兒美館藝術家駐館計畫以孩童為主體，透過藝術家的現地創作啟發孩童的想像力，進而以美術館為主題進行創作，展現兒美館各種可能的面貌。

The Information Age is flooded with texts yet drought in handwriting. Handwriting, the activity humans have performed for millennia, has been replaced by typing—through keyboards, keypads, speech recognition, or scribbling. The scribbling is to be identified only by the device; once the word is identified, the handwriting immediately disappears, though the electronic signature may be an exception. On the other hand, handwriting in the past was a way to send messages and could also express personality, characteristics, emotion, taste, and aesthetics. Thus, it is crucial for calligraphy, an art of handwriting, to break through the tradition and move with the time.
From July 16, the Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center (HCAC) will exhibit 38 masterpieces of calligraphy art by HSU Yung-Chin from the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts collection. Curating by Professor J.J. Shih, the works on display represent the development of Hsu’s art and respond to the issue of the innovation of calligraphy art in modern times. Hsu's art career is built on his base studies in traditional calligraphy in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1990s, he devoted himself to modern calligraphy experiments and incorporated the art with Taiwan's untamed cultural vitality. Since the 21st century, he has been trying to liberate calligraphy, creating an intuitive calligraphy style that transcends the forms of Chinese characters and truthfully reflects his mind. In addition, Hsu also strives to engage in dialogues and collaborate with other fields, integrating calligraphy aesthetics into contemporary cultural activities and daily life.

書寫的景深──柯良志創作個展
Meta-Calligraphy: Ko Liang-Chih
策展人：張禮豪
展覽日期：2022.7.16-2022.9.19
展覽地點：橫山書法藝術館C棟
&nbsp;
本檔展覽為首屆「橫山書藝獎」獲獎者柯良志之創作個展，「橫山書藝獎」為國內首創以書藝展覽為訴求的獎項，旨在獎勵並發掘具有時代性與開拓性的書藝展覽，希望能夠激勵書藝創作者及策展人以更多元而開放的視野，來探索書藝在當代的各種可能。
&nbsp;
本展由張禮豪擔綱策劃，以「書寫的景深」為題。有感於在21世紀全面性席捲而來的數位時代浪潮下，書法更難在一般人的視野內出現，以書寫為核心的藝術家在創作上除了生命經驗的再現，更需要思考如何注入與澆灌嶄新的觀念。故此次「書寫的景深──柯良志個展（Meta-Calligraphy: Ko Liang-Chih）展覽命名刻意援引一般用於影像的術語──「景深」（Depth of the Field，意指相機對焦點前後相對清晰的成像範圍），藉此嘗試從書法的平面呈現，把鏡頭緩慢挪移到最終結果出現之前，所可能遭遇、不為人所知的各種工序、過程、階段、場景與感知狀態……，以跳脫傳統書法藝術向來只依賴最終平面展示結果來論斷、品評的單一審美判準，同時側重在其身為一個當代創作者，如何透過多元視角來全面觀照書法傳統與當代書寫之間的關係，和考察文字在語言意義與文化內涵等面向的時代變遷，進一步挖掘出書寫跨入當代藝術的種種可能。
&nbsp;
此展覽中，藝術家柯良志試圖打破書法藝術多以書體風格或書寫內容來進行分類展陳的既定形態，改以囊括平面作品、錄像裝置、NFT乃至於邀請觀者參與的互動行為等不同形式所創作的七組（件）作品，相互之間亦或有部分疊合互涉之處，進而輻射出關於書寫的多元面向思考。

&nbsp;
我們所處的資訊時代，是文字泛濫、書寫沒落的時代。人類應用數千年的「文字書寫 」已變成了「文字輸入」─透過鍵盤、拼音、口語或手寫模式輸入文字，但即便是手寫模式，重點也僅止於辨識，辨識完畢手跡立刻「被消失」（簽名檔或許例外），較之過去，人類的書寫行為除了傳達訊息之外，也可以透過手跡展現個性、人格、情緒，乃至於品味與美感，作用是完全不同的。在數位與資訊時代的洪流中，書法如何從傳統中脫胎而出，與當代的社會文化和民眾生活繼續磨合，肯定是有待集思廣義、共同迎戰的重大文化課題。
&nbsp;
「狂筆‧顛墨：徐永進贈藏選粹」特展，對於上述的提問，提出了一個拋磚引玉式的回答。展出作品，精選自藝術家徐永進捐贈予桃園市立美術館之典藏，共計展出38組件代表作，由石瑞仁教授擔任策展人。此展兼顧傳統書法的梳理和當代書藝創作的推介，以鋪陳徐永進「傳統書法、現代書藝、當代遊藝」三階段書藝演進經歷與發展脈絡。徐永進的書藝創作生涯，奠基於70、80年代時對傳統書法的鑽研，90年代起投身現代書藝的創作實驗，繼而以之融入臺灣狂野文化生命力與人文關懷；進入二十一世紀後，致力解放書法，開創了超於象外、契合本心的直觀書藝。在個人書藝的創新求變之外，徐永進也致力透過跨界合作、跨域對話的新創模式，將書藝美學融入當代文化活動與社會生活場域。此次展覽將完整呈現其創作歷程，展現其創作與時俱進、活潑多元的形式風貌。

我們多半從母親的角色描述親情關係，爸爸總是深藏不露。《爸爸寶貝》試圖從父親的角色出發，邀請具有父親與藝術家雙重身分的創作者，透過藝術表現手法，探索爸爸的多種模樣，抽絲剝繭出父親的心情、想望，以及親子之間特殊的關係與羈絆。
&nbsp;
展覽邀請7組藝術家，米爾扎˙西茲米奇(Mirza Čizmić)、李文政+ Nagee、李明學、林其蔚、陳建榮、黃逸民+陳妍伊、蘇育賢，透過他們的創作，貼近爸爸藝術家的心情，藉由藝術語言，召喚出小朋友心中對於父親的形象或創意發想，這些爸爸與寶貝之間的故事，可以是西茲米奇畫筆下與父親共同記憶和情感；李文政與Nagee一艘運滿島嶼故事的潛水艇；李明學承載各種認同投射、關係期望的物的隱喻；林其蔚創造關係的翻轉，讓大人跟著嬰兒牙牙學語；陳建榮將孩子的玩具設計圖融入畫作；黃逸民與陳妍伊創作的一段光影劇場，投射著新手爸媽想對孩子說的話。甚至是，與孩子說晚安後的父親蘇育賢，利用一日僅剩時間，恢復了藝術家身分後對於創作與生活間的焦慮掙扎。
&nbsp;
從2019年的《媽媽˙寶貝—創造愛與被愛的方式》到今年的《爸爸寶貝》，我們透過藝術的語彙，探索親子間情感的流動。今年在父親節來臨之前，換父親登場，透過作品看到、聽到、碰觸到藝術家爸爸的心聲與情感，也透過互動工作坊，讓孩子們回應、想像、貼近爸爸的模樣。爸爸與寶貝，寶貝爸爸，既是關係的連結，也是相互呵護的寵愛。

藏珎：東亞書學的視域 Treasure: A Perspective From East Asian Calligraphy
展覽時間： 2022.4.13- 2022.6.27
&nbsp;
桃園市立美術館建館之初即啟動佈建館際合作網絡，展開各項國內外聯繫佈署，其中，於 2019年與國立歷史博物館締結館際合作，正式啟動書藝合作網絡。「藏珎：東亞書學的視域」為桃美館與史博館首次聯手策劃之典藏研究展，由國立臺南大學國語文學系助理教授林俊臣擔任客座策展人，藉由桃美館及史博館書法藝術典藏，以「東亞書學」的視角探討臺灣身處東亞書藝核心的意義。
&nbsp;
策展概念&nbsp;
策展人 林俊臣
&nbsp;
臺灣作為東亞最早進入大航海時代的地區之一，歷經西方殖民的統治、也繼承了大量漢人移民帶來的文化思想，隨後日本殖民現代性、國民政府遷臺、美援……等影響，讓臺灣成為東亞地區涵融多種文化的舞臺。書法這個標幟華人鮮明文化色彩的藝術，在臺灣也因為種種歷史的機緣，從而有了新的轉化與發展。
桃園市立美術館與國立歷史博物館合作，於橫山書法藝術館展出分屬地方與中央層級的公立機構，經由捐贈或購藏等不同管道所典藏，自二十世紀以來臺灣、中國、日本、與韓國各地的書作，呈現東亞書法發展的某個「切片」，正好符合東亞書學視域的內涵，更凸顯臺灣身處東亞書學核心的意義。
日本跟韓國的書法發展雖受中國影響，然而隨著各種因素延伸出不同的書法旨趣。相對日、韓而言，臺灣書法發展的背景，從明清時期地處中原文化邊陲的滯後色彩，到日治時期接受新式書法教育的洗禮，又繼承1949年渡海來臺書法菁英的傳承。歷史的現實讓臺灣不必承擔過於沉重的民族包袱，並展現其多元性與包容。
「藏珎：東亞書學的視域」特展包括三大展區:華人書法、日本書法、韓國書法，不僅見證了東亞各地書法彼此混雜交融，甚至互別苗頭的景緻，也得以藉此思考臺灣作為東亞書學研究發展基地的文化潛力。

「藏珎：東亞書學的視域」特展

Treasure: A Perspective From East Asian Calligraphy
&nbsp;
Curator&nbsp; LIN Chun-Chen
As one of the earliest places in East Asia to enter the Age of Discovery, Taiwan experienced Western colonialism and the East Asian cultural ideas from different groups of immigrants. Later, modern influences such as Japanese rule, the Republic of China’s retreat, and aid from the United States made Taiwan a stage for diverse cultures in East Asia. Calligraphy, a symbolic art of the Chinese character sphere, also experienced various changes and developments in Taiwan due to its unique historical background.
Through the collaboration between the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts and the National Museum of History, this exhibition will showcase calligraphy works from Taiwan, China, Japan, and Korea since the 20th century. The pieces are assembled from public institutions at the local and national levels through donations, acquisitions, and other channels. They show a specimen in the development of East Asian calligraphy and significantly highlight Taiwan's core role.
Although China influenced the development of Japanese and Korean calligraphy, the laters two also developed different emphases due to various factors. Compared to Japan and Korea, Taiwan’s calligraphy has evolved from the periphery of Chinese culture during the Ming and Qing dynasties, through the modern educational systems in the Japanese colonial period, to inheriting the legacy of elite calligraphers came to Taiwan in 1949. These historical realities enabled Taiwan to waive off heavy nationalist burdens and form a diverse and inclusive face of calligraphy.
&nbsp;
“Treasure: A Perspective from East Asian Calligraphy” includes three sections: ethnic Chinese calligraphy, Japanese calligraphy, and Korean calligraphy. We can see how calligraphy practices in East Asia mix, combine, or even compete to contemplate Taiwan's potential to be a base for East Asian calligraphy studies.

Treasure: A Perspective From East Asian Calligraphy

咬耳朵Sound Bite
&nbsp;
桃園市兒童美術館「咬耳朵Sound Bite」展覽，其命題聯想自美國新聞產業於1970年代發明的術語「聲刺」(Soundbite)，意指新聞中的「精彩片段」，如果進一步將英文詞彙字義拆解，Sound指的是聲音，Bite則指的是咬住、緊抓住，而這也如同藝術家運用敏銳的感知，從生活中的細節找尋、抓取可能被忽略，或是不曾為人知的聲響，並且運用多元媒介與方法，轉譯、傳達他們內心獨特的感受與想法。
展覽邀請王福瑞、張君慈、曾偉豪、蔡咅璟+吳宗龍、鄭琬蒨、蕭聖健等六組藝術家以及C-LAB聲響實驗室，透過他們的創作，讓孩童與陪伴者共同發揮想像力，於展覽現場展開「探索」、「記錄」、「製造」、「傳遞」四種由被動聆聽，轉向主動發聲的一系列動態任務。
若是仔細傾聽，我們會發現在生活週遭，隨時隨地充滿了各式各樣的聲響，但常常因為過於熟悉與理所當然，有時反而會遺忘掉這些幽微的存在。在沉浸於美術館空間，與作品產生連結的同時，更可以回顧日常，重新發現箇中奧秘、感受聲音的豐富變化。更可以在展覽現場，透過與作品的親密互動，和藝術家們彼此「咬耳朵」，傾訴悄悄話，在此時此刻，觀眾既是「聲音」的聆聽者，也是「聲音」的創造者。

「咬耳朵」展

The proposition of the "Sound Bite" exhibition at Taoyuan Children's Art Center is reminiscent of the term "soundbite", which was coined by the U.S. media in the 1970s. A soundbite, literally meaning ‘the sound that bites,’ is a news clip that entices the reader or viewer. The effect relates to an artist using their sharp perception to find and grasp sounds that may be unknown or ignored in everyday life, then using multiple media and approaches to translate or express their unique inner feelings and thoughts.
&nbsp;
Six groups of artists and the C-LAB Taiwan Sound Lab have been invited to present their creations at the exhibition, helping children and their companions to unleash their imaginations and carry out a series of dynamic on-site tasks—like exploration, recording, creation and transmission—turning passive listening to proactive vocalization.
&nbsp;
When listening carefully, you will find that in day-to-day life, we are surrounded by all kinds of sounds, but we often take them for granted due to their familiarity and forget their subtle presence. Being immersed in the art center’s physical space and connecting with the works allows us to review our daily life while rediscovering the mysteries and various changes in sound. At the exhibition, we can even lend our ears to the artists and whisper to the creators through intimate interactions with their works. In this moment, the audience is not only the listener of sound, but also the creator of sound.

&nbsp;
Raise your head and look at the sky; have you ever, like us, lifted your hands in the air to feel the dazzling sunshine and the breeze passing through your fingertips, then spread your arms and imagined yourself soaring in the sky?
&nbsp;
A long, long time ago, before human technology caught up with our imaginations, some artists had already dreamt of flying in the sky, or expressed their visions of the expanse and beauty of the heavens through their paintings of angels and holy figures. Once Leonardo da Vinci put his designs of helical rotor flying machines to paper, the stage was set for humans to slowly begin exploration of not just the sky, but also the universe beyond.
&nbsp;
Nowadays, flying is no longer an unattainable dream, but has become a tangible wish that every person can hope to fulfill someday. In this exhibition, parents and children are invited to immerse themselves in the boundless imagination of flying, through paintings, mechanical devices, videos, creative workshops, augmented reality, and innovative interactive zones that were developed through collaboration between 8 artists from Taiwan and Japan, including Wu Yi-Hsuan, Li Cheng-Liang, Yu Shih-Fu, Abe Nyubo (Japan), Hung Tien-Yu, Hsu Hui-Ching, Hsieh Chih-Hsuan, and Tang Jo-Hung.
&nbsp;
Modern flying is a collective experience, and thus flying machines also lend themselves to endless creations of the imagination. In her paintings, the artist Wu Yi-Hsuan presents her own travel memories, employing the setting of being onboard a plane in flight as a creative motif to portray scenes of day and night outside the cabin window. For some, flying is a profession, and the artist Hsu Hui-Ching draws on her own experiences as a flight attendant to guide the audience in contemplating and examining the social, political, and gender issues reflected in the profession of “flight attendant,” via the Border Roaming spatial video device. Flying is a physical experience as well, and the artist Abe Nyubo has set up an AR (augmented reality) installation in this exhibition, inviting audiences to use their mobile phones as a medium to participate in different modes of “flying” in various environments. The artwork of Tang Jo-Hung further presents imaginative “flying machines” placed in comically interesting scenes of daily life.
&nbsp;
Flying has expanded the human horizon beyond geography, borders, and even Earth itself. The artist Li Cheng-Liang utilizes a “space station” concept in his Wannian Station installation that inspires the audience to enter the cosmos directly from the exhibition gallery. The artist Yu Shih-Fu presents a mechanical device that captures the imagery of a bird flying in the sky, and employs metallic materials to embody the future of technology. The artist Hung Tien-Yu uses a “camera drone” to observe the surface of the Earth from a high altitude, compelling the audience to reflect upon the human destruction of the Earth. The artist Hsieh Chih-Hsuan further links the concept of “flying” with “floating” to craft the visual imagery of Floating Island as a hidden metaphor of solo flight. Children in the audience are invited to the accompanying creative workshop of the same name to collaboratively create artwork representing the independent yet close-knit links between each and every person.
&nbsp;
Dear children, what are your dreams and aspirations about flying? Welcome to this Neverland island where dreams never disappear, and let us explore the many possibilities of flight together!

My Neverland- Dreams of Flying

抬頭看看天空，你是否也和我們一樣，曾經把手舉在空中，感受陽光閃閃發光，感受微風穿過指尖，然後張開雙手，夢想自己在天空飛翔？
&nbsp;
好久好久以前，在人類科技還趕不上想像的年代，有些藝術家就夢想在天空飛行，或透過繪畫中的天使和聖像，想像天空的壯闊與美麗。而從達文西設計的螺旋飛行器開始，慢慢地，不只是天空，連宇宙都已經是人類探索的場域了。
&nbsp;
在今日，飛翔已不再是夢想，而是一個每個人都有機會實現的心願。在這次的展覽裡面，透過與8位臺日藝術家，吳逸萱、李承亮、盂施甫、阿部乳坊（日）、洪天宇、許惠晴、謝芝萱和黨若洪的合作，藉由繪畫、機械裝置、錄像、創作工坊、擴增實境與創意互動區等不同體驗形式，邀請親子共同沉浸於飛行的無邊想像。
&nbsp;
現代飛行是一種集體經驗，飛行的工具也提供了無邊的想像。藝術家吳逸萱以繪畫作品呈現自身的旅行記憶，將機上風景作為創作主題，展現機艙外的日夜景色；飛行也是一種職業，許惠晴以曾擔任空服員的背景，透過《邊境漫遊》空間錄像裝置引導觀眾反思、審視「空服員」職業所反映的社會、政治及性別思索。飛行更是一種身體性的經驗，阿部乳坊(Abe Nyubo)在展場打造擴增實境的裝置，邀請觀者透過手機作為媒介，親臨在不同場域穿梭的「飛行」樣態。黨若洪的繪畫展示了天馬行空的「飛行器」，滑稽而趣味地將其放置於日常場景的描繪中。
&nbsp;
飛行拓寬人類的視域和地理、國境、地球之外的想像。李承亮以「太空站」的形式，啟發觀眾在美術館進入《萬年站》的宇宙空間；盂施甫的作品以機械裝置打造空中飛行的鳥類形象，並以金屬材質象徵未來科技的形貌，洪天宇運用「空拍機」抵達高空，觀測地表，啟發觀眾省思人類對地球的破壞；謝芝萱的以「漂浮」連結「飛行」的概念，以《浮島》作品中的視覺意象，隱喻人的獨自飛行，並邀請小朋友加入集體創作，共創每一個人之間既獨立又緊密的連結。
&nbsp;
親愛的小朋友們，你們對於飛行的夢想，又是什麼呢？請大家在這座夢不落之島，一起探索飛行的各種可能吧！

夢不落 - 我的飛行夢想

「2023桃源國際藝術獎」徵件

「澹養天龢—黃羣英書藝紀念展」由國立臺灣藝術大學書畫藝術學系蔡介騰教授策劃，展出桃園重要書家黃羣英重要作品及相關文件。展覽以本館典藏為基礎，重新爬梳黃羣英的創作脈絡，呈現各類書體作品，展現其「書以言志」的精神。其中《金剛般若波羅蜜經》為一138聯屏、歷經一年光景才完成的鉅作，本展導入數位科技呈現該作品，提供觀者耳目一新的書藝閱讀體驗。
&nbsp;
策展人 | 蔡介騰 藝術家 | 黃羣英
&nbsp;
策展概念 |&nbsp;
黃羣英（1920-2019）號又青，晚號泮山老人、泮翁，出生於江西廣昌，於書香世家中成長，自五歲開始習書，從此臨池不輟，年至百歲依然每日書課。國共內戰時期，他帶著14位學生一路艱辛的來到臺灣，60多年來一直居住在桃園孔廟旁的宿舍。黃羣英注重人格品德的修養，生活簡樸，不為外物所役。他體認到「書法是人類智慧，世界文化的寶貴資產」，多年來在各地積極推動書法教育，曾經同時任教20多個單位，延續書法種子與傳播書法文化。
&nbsp;
本次展覽係據於黃羣英的百歲書藝成就，以桃美館所藏其晚年作品，依作品內容分為四個類項：「翰墨情緣」包含臨書、書論、獨特表現書寫；「篤志好學」則為與古對話，詩詞吟詠之作；「泮山閑居」呈現黃羣英晚年閑居書屋時的自作詩文；「處世養和」則總括了其謙和思維、佛語禪詩。黃羣英畢生推崇儒家修身治世之學，秉持「書以言志」的精神，書法作品文句每每傳達其處世哲理；又融通佛學禪思，表現在他天性豁達、澹泊名利的性格，如其句「我磨硯，硯磨我，九十歲月匆匆過，興來塗幾筆，悠閑寫日課，恬澹養天龢。」
&nbsp;
黃羣英一生謙沖自牧、人格高遠，重視以德行修身、養心，並堅持讀書、寫字，志在以書育人，一如其言「以技展藝，以藝育人，以人弘道，以道濟世。」書法是藝術，亦是文化表徵，書藝承載文化與智慧，更得以宏揚聖人之道。黃羣英的書法，展現深厚涵養，觀其作品猶如見識其人。黃羣英95歲所作「了無憾意，那有遺言」，即是他畢生以書藝明志，以恬澹養性的寫照。
&nbsp;
黃羣英常用印多為學生、友人所贈，本展彙整並展示晚年常用印75方；另也陳列黃羣英生前所出版專輯共12冊，其中有1990年出版之《黃羣英七十首展書畫選集》、1996年為法鼓山所寫並印刷發行的《金剛般若波羅蜜經》、2013年《雪泥鴻爪－泮翁詩文書畫彙編》等，以記述其書藝之面貌與發展。

「臺灣書藝新契機—1949渡海書家特展」由國立屏東大學視覺藝術學系藝術講座教授黃冬富擔任策展人，精選于右任、溥心畬、張大千、傅狷夫、張光賓、宋金印等26位渡海書家之作品展出，聚焦於1949年前後渡海書家的書藝特質及面貌，以及其為臺灣書藝及文化發展帶來的新契機。
&nbsp;
策展人 | 黃冬富 策展顧問 | 杜忠誥 藝術家 | 于右任、丁治磐、朱玖瑩、王愷和、丁念先、謝宗安、王壯為、 奚南薰、陳其銓、宋金印、溥心畬、彭醇士、陳定山、張大千、 高逸鴻、傅狷夫、呂佛庭、張光賓、吳平、江兆申、吳敬恆、 董作賓、高拜石、臺靜農、張隆延、汪中
&nbsp;
策展概念 |&nbsp; 1949年前後，大量來自大陸各省的書法菁英隨著國民政府遷臺而同時薈萃於臺灣，幾乎各個都是飽學之士，書法造詣精湛而且大多不僅專擅一體，甚至兼長詩、書、畫以至於篆刻，而且多能內化所學，形成自家面貌，尤其于右任、吳敬恆、董作賓、溥心畬、張大千、丁念先…等人，在渡臺以前，都已是華人書壇的重量級人物。這批渡海書家，在品質、數量以及多樣性方面，都是前所未有。而且不少渡海書家同時帶來大批的碑帖、書畫收藏等文物，為臺灣書法界帶來發榮滋長的源頭活水。也由於如是的緣故，因而締造出臺灣書法史上之空前高峰，也為邇來臺灣書法藝術蓬勃發展的盛況，奠定既深又廣的基礎。
本展選出26位重要渡海書家，分為「典範書家」、「書畫名家」、「學者書家」三種類型展出，除了呈現個別書家最具代表性書體之作，也提供觀看渡海書家學養背景及書藝成就關係的線索。
&nbsp;
典範書家 這類型書家其主要創作精力多集中於書法而馳名於書壇，本展展出之書家有于右任(1879~1964)、丁治磐(1892~1988)、朱玖瑩(1898~1996)、王愷和(1901~1997)、丁念先(1906~1969)、謝宗安(1907~1997)、王壯為(1909~1998)、奚南薰(1915~1976)、陳其銓(1917~2003)、宋金印(1917~1982)等10位。
&nbsp;
其中丁念先和王壯為二人在書畫藝術論述發表方面極具份量，也兼具「學者書家」之特質，然基於其書法成就格外凸顯的緣故，故納入本類型之中。
&nbsp;
書畫名家 這類型書家兼長於水墨畫，書和畫皆有很高的成就，甚至大多數都擅長作詩，而且彼此觸類融通、相輔相成，其書風往往另具一種類近於繪畫藝術的表現性趣味，如 : 溥心畬(1896~1963)、彭醇士(1896~1976)、陳定山(1897~1989)、張大千(1899~1983)、高逸鴻(1908~1982)、傅狷夫(1910~2007)、呂佛庭(1911~2005)、張光賓(1915~2016)、吳平(1920~2019)、江兆申(1925~1996)等10位。
&nbsp;
其中，溥心畬、彭醇士、陳定山、呂佛庭、張光賓、江兆申等人都術學兼治，詩文和學術方面也同樣有很高的成就，然而他們在書畫方面的成就和形象極為鮮明，故歸入此一類型中。
&nbsp;
學者書家 這類書家都是學術成就卓越的學者身分，而且同樣擁有很高的書法造詣者，由於學術底子深厚，因而書卷味也是其共有之書風特質。本展覽最為典型的例子為吳敬恆(1865~1953)、董作賓(1895~1963)、高拜石(1901~1969)、臺靜農(1902~1990)、張隆延(1909~2009)和汪中(1926~2010) 6位。
&nbsp;
此外，其他二類書家當中，溥心畬、彭醇士、陳定山、丁念先、王壯為、呂佛庭、張光賓、江兆申等人，也都各有其獨到的學術成就。

「臺灣書藝新契機—1949渡海書家特展」

Hwang Chyun-Ing (1920-2019), with an art name “You-ching (green again)” and a late-life art name “Elder of Panshan,” was born to a well-educated family in Guangchang, Jiangxi in China. He started to learn calligraphy when he was five and had kept practicing daily even when he was nearly a hundred. During the Chinese Civil War, Hwang Chyun-Ing took fourteen students to Taiwan and had humbly resided nearby the Taoyuan Confucius Temple for more than sixty years. He focused on self-cultivation and lived a simple and nonmaterialistic life. Hwang was deeply aware that “calligraphy contains vast wisdom and is an invaluable asset of human civilization.” Having dedicated himself to calligraphy education for years, he had been the instructor for more than twenty institutions at the same time to promote calligraphy.
&nbsp;
This exhibition emphasizes Hwang Chyun-Ing’s art of calligraphy in his centenarian life based on his late works in the collection of the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts. There are four categories. “Love for Calligraphy” contains his transcription of famous works, texts of calligraphy theories, his expressive writing; “Diligence in Literature” shows his poetic texts; “Life by Panshan” displays his poetry on peaceful seclusion in his late-life; “Harmony of Mind” includes his transcriptions and writing of Confucian and Buddhist texts. Hwang Chyun-Ing was an advocate of the Confucian ideals of self-cultivation and ruling by virtuous conduct. His works contain his belief that "the idea speaks through calligraphy." The sentences he wrote allude to his transcendent wisdom and spiritual attitude through Confucian and Buddhist ideas. His autobiographical text expresses his heart for calligraphy:
&nbsp; I grind ink and ink grinds me down. Nine decades pass in the blink of an eye. I scribble a few words when inspiration comes. In my daily practice, I adhere to leisurely. I spend my golden years devoid of ambition.
&nbsp;
Hwang Chyun-Ing had a modest, polite, and upright personality. Just as one of his mottos, “One displays artistic content with technique, just like people are vessels that help to spread the Way; the Way, in turn, nourishes the world,” he educated virtues with calligraphy. For him, calligraphy is not only a technique but also a symbol of culture. It carries the culture and wisdom of the sages. Appreciating the works by Hwang Chyun-Ing is just like meeting the calligrapher and being moved by his spirit. His playful funeral words “What dying words can I have? I do not regret any deeds” created when he was 95 illustrates his satisfaction for achieving his life goal: to live in days of tranquility.
&nbsp;
Hundreds of Hwang Chyun-Ing’s seal carvings are mostly gifted by his friends and students. This exhibition collects and displays 75 seal carvings he used in his late life. His twelve catalogs in his lifetime are also presented to demonstrate the development of his calligraphy style.

Days of Tranquility: Commemorative Calligraphy Exhibition of Hwang Chyun-Ing

When the Government of the Republic of China (ROC) relocated to Taiwan in 1949, a great number of renowned calligraphers from various provinces flocked to Taiwan. Most of them were highly educated and adept at multiple calligraphic styles in addition to poetry, painting, and seal carving. By internalizing their fields of study, they were able to form their own artistic identities. Artists such as Yu Yu-Jen, Wu Ching-Heng, Tung Tso-Pin, Pu Hsin-Yu, Chang Ta-Chien, and Ting Nien-Hsien, in particular, were already accomplished figures in Chinese calligraphy circles before they even set foot in Taiwan. Prior to the arrival of these calligraphers, never before had Taiwan seen such high quality and quantity of talent in such a wide variety. A sizable number of them brought their vast collections of stelae, model books, calligraphy works, paintings, and other cultural artifacts with them, providing the nourishment required for Taiwanese calligraphy to grow and prosper. These calligraphers not only led the calligraphy in Taiwan to its peak but also set up a wide and solid base for the thriving development of Taiwanese calligraphy.
&nbsp;
This exhibition selects 26 migrant calligraphers and divides them into three categories by their specialty: the Model Calligraphers, the Painter Calligraphers, and the Scholar Calligraphers. Under such categories, we emphasize not only the features of the calligraphers’ works but also their accomplishments from their lives and backgrounds.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
"The Model Calligraphers"
These individuals spent all their energy practicing calligraphy, subsequently earning renown in the calligraphy world. Featured in the exhibition are Yu Yu-Jen (1879-1964), Ting Chih-Pan (1892-1988), Chu Chiu-Ying (1898-1996), Wang Kai-He (1901-1997), Ting Nien-Hsien (1906-1969), Hsieh Tsung-An (1907-1997), Wang Chuang-Wei (1909-1998), Hsi Nan-Hsun (1915-1976), Chen Chi-Chuan (1917-2003), and Sung Chin-Yin (1917-1982).
&nbsp;
Ting Nien-Hsien and Wang Chuang-Wei were both especially authoritative figures in the publishing of calligraphy and painting treatises; though they also had qualities of the Scholar Calligraphers, this exhibition categorizes them under the Model Calligraphers due to their extraordinary legacy in the art of calligraphy.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
"The Painter Calligraphers"
These calligraphers excelled at ink wash painting. Besides such attainment in both fields, many of them were also skilled at poetry. Their abilities complemented each other in such a way that their calligraphy had a particular expressiveness and charm akin to painting. Featured Painter Calligraphers in this exhibition are Pu Hsin-Yu (1896-1963), Peng Chun-Shih (1896-1976) Chen Ting-Shan (1897-1989), Chang Ta-Chien (1899-1983), Kao I-Hung (1908-1982), Fu Chuan-Fu (1910-2007), Lu Fo-Ting (1911-2005), Chang Kuang-Pin (1915-2016), Wu Ping (1920-2019), and Chiang Chao-Shen (1925-1996).
&nbsp;
Pu Hsin-Yu, Peng Chun-Shih, Chen Ting-Shan, Lu Fo-Ting, Chang Kuang-Pin, and Chiang Chao-Shen were also accomplished scholars and poets, however, due to their incredible achievements in painting and calligraphy and prominence in these fields, this exhibition categorizes them as painter calligraphers.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
"The Scholar Calligraphers"
These calligraphers were all exemplary scholars as they were accomplished calligraphers.

Crossroads for Calligraphy in Taiwan: Special Exhibition on 1949 Calligraphers Crossing the Sea

The sea, the origin of all creatures, and a vessel for cultures. The sea is a cradle of life and carries memories of humanity: the sea connects the world, just as the seas are connected.
 As people of an island nation, we are no strangers to the sea. Islands and the sea depend on each other to thrive — they are inseparable. Waves push water onto shores, and pull the land back into the sea, acting as a courier between two places, exchanging messages. Since ancient times, humans never cease to explore the sea. And artists have discovered muses in the boundless sea and translated their inspiration into new-found imagination, showing the thousands of faces of the sea to audiences.
 See Sea exhibition has invited six teams of artists, including Superbien Studio from France, Yuko Mohri from Japan, and Taiwanese artists Lee Chia-hsiang &amp; Lee Wei-jing, Chiu Chieh-sen &amp; Margot Guillemot, Hu Chin-hsiang &amp; Tsai Bing-hua, and Tsai Wan-shuen. The artists created an immersive ocean theater, art installations, videos, and new media projects in conjunction with an interactive area that is guaranteed to spark children’s curiosity in exploring the sea.
 Yuko Mohri’s piano solo improvisation mimics the sound of crashing waves as if nature is trying to communicate with us. Hu Chin-hsiang and Tsai Bing-hua converted real-time weather data into virtual ripples and use mechanical installations to display the dancing waves. Superbien Studio partnered with the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco to build the Oceans Digital Immersive Odyssey, which allows visitors to dive into the deep sea and interact with marine life. Lee Chia-hsiang and Lee Wei-jing created an environment wrapped in ocean bubbles, immersing visitors in the sea and letting them feel the rich and thriving lifeforce from the ocean. Though ancient sea monsters have vanished from modern world maps, Chiu Chieh-sen and Margot Guillemot bring the stories of sea monsters back to the surface. Tsai Wan-shuen translates the poetry of infants learning their mother languages into a conversation on how we should live with the ocean and the rest of the environment.
 Messages from the sea push and pull on human imagination and creativity like fluctuating tides. The exhibition invites friends of all ages to come and walk closer to the sea. Try to capture every message the sea is sending us with all our senses. Rekindle your longing for the sea, and broaden your perspective of the world, and of life.

See Sea

海，是萬物的起源也是文化的載體，不只孕育生命也乘載記憶，與世界聯繫同時也與自身連結。
&nbsp;
生長於海島國家的我們對海並不陌生，島與海相互依存，密不可分。波浪將海水推上岸，又淘選了部分的陸地回到海洋，猶如兩地的驛站交換著彼此的訊息。從古至今，人們對海洋的探索從未停歇。藝術家也在這個綿延無邊的大海中，發掘他們的靈感，轉譯為嶄新的想像，讓海洋得以在觀眾眼前展示它千變萬化的面貌。
&nbsp;
《走近一片海》特展邀請跨國際的六組藝術家，包含法國SUPERBIEN團隊、日本毛利悠子、以及來自臺灣的李家祥與李葳靜、邱杰森與莫珊嵐、胡縉祥與蔡秉樺、蔡宛璇，以沉浸式海洋劇場、裝置藝術、錄像、新媒體等媒介，以及延伸設計的互動體驗區，觸發兒童對海的漫「游」異想與多方探索。
&nbsp;
毛利悠子將海浪聲轉化成即興鋼琴獨奏，彷彿自然想藉此與我們對話；胡縉祥與蔡秉樺擷取即時氣象資訊，將數據轉換為水波紋的虛擬影像，藉機械裝置展現海浪舞動的姿態；Superbien則是與摩納哥海洋學研究所合作，打造一座「海洋奧德賽沉浸劇場」(Oceans Digital Immersive Odyssey)，讓觀眾盡情地深潛於大海，並與海洋物種互動；李家祥與李葳靜以被「海洋泡泡」包覆的環境，讓觀眾沉浸感受大海所蘊含的豐盈而充沛的生命能量；邱杰森與莫珊嵐透過現代地圖上消逝已久的海怪，重新喚醒海怪潛藏在人心中的故事；蔡宛璇用詩文記錄幼兒與母語的相遇，也藉此轉譯與海洋的相處、與生長環境的對話。
&nbsp;
海的信息如潮水般不斷推動著想像和創造。本展邀請兒童與親子觀眾「走近」這片海，以視覺、聽覺、觸覺、體感等多維感官捕捉海洋試圖傳達的每一則訊息，重新喚醒對海的想望，開啟對世界、對生命的遼闊視野。

「走近一片海」展

橫山書法藝術館為臺灣首座由官方經營之書法藝術主題館，肩負推動臺灣書法藝術保存、研究、發展與推廣之使命，以奠基書法研究與教育、形塑在地藝文特色、促進國際書藝交流為目標。
　　開館首展「飛墨橫山」由華梵大學人文與藝術學院院長黃智陽教授擔綱策劃，邀請臺灣、中國、日本、韓國、德國、芬蘭等地共51位藝術家參與展出。&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
｜策展概念｜
　　當代書法是古今審美衝突的競合成果，更是文化與藝術離合的複雜狀態。書法集合歷史、文字、文學、視覺、身體、觀念與行為，成為總合性藝術的最佳代表，挑起了繼承與創新的矛盾，同時考驗了當代社會中的視覺價值與文化深度的爭端。展示書法，同時展示了國際化與在地性的角色扮演，也誘使觀察者思考時空的曖昧關係，因而產生極為不同的審美價值判斷。
　　具有悠久歷史的漢字書藝，傳統又迷人，時尚而復古，固執且獨特。這些思考與創作成果都輻射出新世紀的書法新解。為了重估書法藝術的可能與價值，策展與研究，觀看與對話，可能是建構書法美學的最佳途徑。橫山書法藝術館開館展「飛墨橫山」以此為旨，透過「溯源」、「尋新」、「對語」、「跨域」四個子題，展示書法藝術傳統與當代的對話，探索書藝創作的時代趨勢和美學思維。藉此，為橫山書藝館的未來發展拉開序幕，也展望橫山書藝館成為國際書藝匯流的焦點場域。　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
「溯源」
漢字書寫的歷史演進，使文字符號出現多種多樣化的面貌，吸引了大量的文人藝術家透過書寫的表現展現出特殊的品味，豐富了視覺的藝術。在這次的展示中，資深書法藝術家透過深厚的傳統書法功底，表現出對於文字把握的能力與學養，展現出耐人尋味的思考。
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　「尋新」 
所謂晉人尚韻丶唐人尚法、宋人尚意丶元人復古、明人尙態丶清人尚質，書法史各個朝代的書風都展現出時代不同的樣貌。20世紀受到西方政治、經濟、文化的影響，書法表現也受到國際藝術運動的感染，從抽象表現風潮影響日本，韓國，臺灣，再蔓延到中國。書法面對近現代的求變渴望相較於傳統期望，有了漸變與激變的差異。概括現代書法到21世紀初，若從中國輻射的角度而言，民國尚變，當代尙新。從傳統表現的基礎擴張，進一步達到尋新懷異的狀態。
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
&nbsp;「對語」
當代的書寫藝術，最能夠展現時代的能量，就是為這個時代記錄不同於其他時空所能替代的意義與價值。在「飛墨橫山」展出的作品中，書藝家透過書寫的內容表現出對於自己生活環境深刻思考的紀錄，脫開傳統語言的慣性，擺脫傳統書法的傳抄，以致在當代展示場域無法與白話文時代對話，而呈現的失語狀態。面對真實環境的話語，突顯出書法藝術的時代性與生命力。更顯出書法藝術不同於純粹視覺藝術一般，具有濃厚的閱讀特質。
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
&nbsp;「跨域」
當代書法表現透過裝置丶影像丶新媒體互動，將書法的觀念擴展到空間丶時間與群眾之間的複雜關係。甚至書法對於景觀生活丶環境生存、觀念哲思，都能提出切題的對應。此次展覽可看到書法藝術在牆上展現的魅力，以及在空間中表現的創意，甚至在戶外環境貼近群眾而帶來的親近與回饋⋯⋯在在都證明古老的書法藝術在當代環境中需要再認識、再詮釋以及再利用。跨域實驗性特質，在充分體察書法文化的特殊性之後，接合當代觀念藝術的軌輒，使書法藝術的表現既深且廣，宣示了新時代的潮流，而是否可能成為21世紀藝術場域的主流？

飛墨橫山 — 橫山書法藝術館開館國際書藝展

「書」是「書法」也是「書籍」。「讀」可「讀帖」亦可「讀書」。橫山書法藝術館開館有「飛墨橫山」展示書法藝術品，也以「橫山展書讀」為題，品讀書藝出版。書籍包含文字及圖像，有如另一種展覽形式，在讀者眼前及腦海開展寬闊的書藝世界。透過出版，藝術品得以突破展場空間和展期限制，讓讀者能夠細讀與分享。此外，書法是結合文字形式、內容意涵、音律節奏及視覺美感的綜合性藝術，具有多元且複雜的脈絡，因此更需要文字解說、闡述與辯證，這些因素都讓出版成為書法藝術推廣與交流的重要管道。
由是之故，桃園市立美術館針對典藏、研究及展覽，規劃各式主題的專書出版擴大思考討論面向，也開發不同類型的文創商品推廣藝術生活美學。「橫山展書讀」與何創時書法藝術基金會、五南文化事業機構，以及書法教育月刊蔡明讚老師合作，引介國內重要的現當代書法藝術書刊，回顧書藝展覽、研究和教育推廣的歷程，展現書藝館在書藝發展上承先啟後的定位和願景。

橫山展書讀

The Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center (HCAC) is the first public calligraphy art center in Taiwan and shoulders the responsibilities of preserving, studying, developing, and promoting Taiwanese calligraphy art, ensuring that regional cultural features take shape through studies and educational endeavors focusing on calligraphy, and facilitating international calligraphy art exchanges. The Flying Ink: Hengshan International Calligraphy Art Exhibition, the opening exhibition of the HCAC, is curated by Professor Huang Chih-Yang, chair of the College of Art and Design, Huafan University. For the exhibition, the HCAC invits 51 artists from Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Finland to exhibit their artworks.
&nbsp;
Curatorial Concepts Contemporary calligraphy is the result of the coopetition between ancient and modern aesthetics and the complex union of art and culture. Calligraphy consists of history, writing, literature, visuals, bodies, concepts, and behavior to be a perfect representative of integrated art. It raises the question of whether to inherit from the past or to create innovations, and challenges contemporary societies to find a balance between visual values and cultural depth. Exhibiting calligraphy displays calligraphy’s roles in globalization and localization and induces the audience to contemplate the ambiguous relationships between time and space, prompting the audience to develop diverse aesthetic values and judgments.
As an art form of Chinese characters with a long history, calligraphy art is traditional, charming, fashionable, retro, persistent, and unique. Thinking about calligraphy art and creating calligraphy art enable people to develop new calligraphy understanding in the 21st century. To reassess calligraphy art possibilities, values, and aesthetics, the optimal methods may be to curate calligraphy art exhibitions, conduct calligraphy art research, and facilitate calligraphy art viewing and dialogues. To realize these methods, this exhibition introduces calligraphy art creation-related tendency and aesthetics as well as the “dialogues” between traditional and contemporary calligraphy art through four subtopics; namely, “traceability,” “novelty,” “interlocutory,” and “interdisciplinary.” The exhibition marks the beginning of Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center’s vista and demonstrates the center’s plan to evolve itself into a key international venue for calligraphy art exchanges.
&nbsp;
“Traceability” The evolution of Chinese characters has given them diversified features, prompting numerous literati and artists to use calligraphy to showcase the unique features of Chinese characters. These efforts subsequently enrich the quantities of visual art produced. At the Flying Ink: Hengshan International Calligraphy Art Exhibition, experienced calligraphy artists utilize their traditional calligraphy knowledge and skills to present Chinese characters perfectly, illustrating their mesmerizing, ingenious thoughts.
&nbsp;
“Novelty” The calligraphy styles present the zeitgeists from different dynasties. For example, Jin, Tang, Song, Yuan–Ming, and Qing dynasty people preached calligraphy styles that focused on grace, system, fun, past-emulation, and high-quality, respectively. In the 20th century, the effects of international art movement, abstract expressionism (which influenced Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and then China), and Western politics, economics, and cultures revolutionized contemporary calligraphy, shifting it from following traditions and making gradual changes to seeking new, drastic changes. In the early 21st century and contemporary era, calligraphy styles have focused on changes and novelty, respectively, and the objective is to expand from traditions and seek new changes.
&nbsp;
“Interlocutory” Contemporary calligraphy art represents the styles the zeitgeist nowadays and records the unique meanings and values of said era. In the exhibition, calligraphy artists reveal their deep thoughts on their living environments through calligraphy artworks. They escape from traditional patterns and stop imitating traditional styles, resulting in the contemporary calligraphy art deviating from written vernacular Chinese, reaching a state “disrupted communication.” Contemporary calligraphy uses the “languages” of the environments to exemplify the timeliness and vitality of calligraphy art, and highlight how calligraphy art differs from pure visual art in that it embodies a wealth of reading-based characteristics.
&nbsp;
“Interdisciplinary” Through devices, images, and new media, contemporary calligraphy presents the complex relationships between calligraphy, space, time, and the audience. In fact, contemporary calligraphy can be used to show landscape-based living, surviving in environments, and various ideas and philosophies. At the Flying Ink: Hengshan International Calligraphy Art Exhibition, calligraphy art flaunts its charm on walls, boasts its creativity in the exhibition space, and becomes easily accessible to the audience in outdoor environments, sparking their responses. Such a result confirms that calligraphy art from ancient times must be re-examined, reinterpreted, and reused in contemporary environments. By conducting interdisciplinary experiments, we gain insight into the features of calligraphy culture. Subsequently, we link calligraphy and contemporary art concepts together to deepen and broaden calligraphy art presentation, inaugurating new possibilities. Whether such possibilities will become the mainstream possibilities in art venues in the 21st century remain to be seen.

Flying Ink: Hengshan International Calligraphy Art Exhibition

本展引領孩童尋訪古今之「優墨」！如《天工開物》提及，墨作為顏料，記載了文明；墨品的優劣，也成為了古代文人的追求。另外，「Humor」在古希臘本義為「汁液」，與「墨」的物質特性有所連結；諧音「幽默」始於林語堂由外來字「Humor」音譯而成，相近於「風趣」，對指涉之物意在言外，讓留白引發觀賞者的詼諧想像。展覽由題名的多重內涵出發，策劃「墨寶開箱」、「墨氣實驗」、「酷墨遊戲」三個單元。
&nbsp;
「優墨」展匯聚臺灣、中國、香港前輩藝術家和青年藝術家，包括劉國松、蔡水景、楊詰蒼、鄧啟耀、凌佩詩、曾霆羽及陳瑞鴻的作品，並結合國立故宮博物院及國家圖書館的藏品資源，從歷史性、物質性和遊戲性出發，觸發孩童對「墨」的好奇、了解和創意想像。
&nbsp;
「墨寶開箱」邀請小朋友打開歷史與現代的墨寶箱，遊歷《方氏墨譜》、《天工開物》，一起穿梭古今的製墨現場；「墨氣實驗」讓孩童在不同材料的介質之中，學習掌握墨的物質特性；「酷墨遊戲」以日常經驗和現成物觸發「墨」與觀念性、遊戲性和音樂性共振的趣味。

2021桃源美展 

Taoyuan Fine Arts Exhibition&nbsp; (TFAE) has evolved from a local exhibition of arts into the most established and high-profiled visual art competition in the history of Taoyuan nowadays. It had built up the art platform through annual open calls, simultaneously incubating and tapping more promising artists, making the power of art creation in Taiwan to be accumulated relentlessly.&nbsp; TFAE used to arrange the competition in 10 categories regarding different media, but its system has been revised since 2020, following the new strategy to adopt a biennial timeframe with different focal points, holding open calls for various genres. The theme of the 2021 TFAE is 'Three-dimension and Multi-media Category', holding open calls in the following three categories: 'Plastic Art', 'Photography and Video Art', and 'New Media Art'. 'Video Art' and 'New Media Art' are two new categories especially put in TFAE this time, aiming to encourage more entries with a sense of modernity or experimentality to take part in. The entries will be exhibited in three venues regarding their own styles, allowing the exhibition to be both as a whole and in different dimensions on the one hand, and allowing the competitors to have more space for artistic presentation, responding to the changes and development of contemporary art on the other hand. There are 402 pieces of artwork up for grabs this year, and there are 56 pieces selected. The exhibition will be held from October 30, Sat. to November 21, Sun., in the following three venues: Department of Cultural Affairs, Taoyuan (Photography and Video Art), Zhongli Arts Hall (Plastic Art) and Taoyuan Public Assembly Hall (New Media Art). The topics of exhibited works are in high diversity, including social issues at the time, self-identities, life experience, documentary photography, virtual simulation, dialectic of artistic thinking, and so on. Some artists even endeavor to apply media with greater scale and breakthroughs, demonstrating the variety and contemporary visions to be given rise to by the artists' practice in accordance with the development of time and technology. Even though these three venues are separated, they still echo each other, showing openness and diversity in terms of specific media categories, aiming to stimulate a whole new exhibition experience of the audience towards TFAE.

2021 Taoyuan Fine Arts Exhibition

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.

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;

空間遊戲

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」。

〈視窗之外〉桃園市立美術館 & 荷蘭烏特勒茲中央美術館館際交流展

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。
