Art is tree (2011) by Fang MintoFubon Art Foundation

「粉樂町」本身的形式其實就是策展理念。

「粉樂町」今年提出「Light up」主題,期待點亮同時相互的輝映可以聚合成更耀眼的亮點,也是凝聚共識的情境描述,誠如,無論粉樂町的尺寸,落在各點的作品是國產還是舶來,是概念還是複合應用,所有的展點透過走逛的路線,接合成為全貌的面,覆蓋在生活的場域,改變了城市的情調。

Private Moon (2011) by Leonid TishkovFubon Art Foundation

「Light up」是一種行動,照亮彼此共榮共享。

不難發現有幾點作品直接的呼應主題,有幾處展點傳達間接含意,絕大部份創造了集體對於環境的想像同時也是一種廣意的「Light up」詮釋,其實除了展品,在場域(Site)上更展現了友好共榮的表現,在東區之外此次拓展的信義區,交換著對「粉樂町」的認同,誠品書店、Home Hotel、中國信託等都是促成圓滿的重要支持者,也是粉樂町在成就上最為關鍵的合作基石,沒有場域就不能形成「粉樂町」,空有主辦企業的推動總少了共榮分享的高度與更為寬廣的景致,「粉樂町」強調藝術其實好玩,藝術品該有勇氣與各種空間對話,有了各種場域的參與,比任何的教育推廣都來的重要,凝聚了集體意識以及對環境的夢想,在合作多贏的聚合下,是「粉樂町」整合的另一份成績單!

我們相信「自問」是理出方向感的前置態度,粉樂町今年將用最嚴緊的原則集合眾力激撞討論,並依續著主題方向感勾勒藍圖,再源著日常觀察轉換成策劃內容,透過逐年的經驗反覆精簡流程,以便效率的達成核心工作,雖然事實上,我們真正感受的到對於看展的民眾來說,「粉樂町」就是「粉樂町」,是一種展出的形式讓人記憶與回味,至於論述的觀點並不一定必需或重要,其中的顯學是,每年持續在特定季節開辦的藝術活動,城市不一樣了,這其中不用排隊也不用買門票,有空就可以隨性的尋點探訪,才是「粉樂町」的迷人價值,也是最容易讓參與者體會主辦者安排與用心的交流,因為,悠閒的發現東區的內涵與肌理,感受生活週遭的景致才是「粉樂町」真正魅力,經過這麼六年的整理與累積的自信,心得是「建構一座沒有圍牆的美術館,並且在生活的環境與空間中對應,讓觀者在看見的同時沒有刻意的門票來區隔,也多了空間當中更有人味的參與,讓藝術在複合的環境中卻更能顯見,我們發現粉樂町本身的形式其實就是策展理念」。

What if it matters (2011) by Huang, Hsin-YuFubon Art Foundation

終究,粉樂町在展出的空間形態上出走於美術館的純粹,在作品的本身所要考慮的因素、觀者在觀看時的空間狀況都已大不相同,因此也順理可以不受用於展覽既定的遊戲規則;儘管如此,在提出藝術教育與提昇美學素養的目的上,也不能否認「粉樂町」每年數萬人的影響力,透過這個平台讓觀看者透過展覽說明理解創作者所要表達的,因此更多人願意開始去嘗試與經驗,這其實也就是我們燃燒熱情火燄的油源所在。

oy Explosion! (2011) by Gordon WiebeFubon Art Foundation

總知,「粉樂町」用一種緩慢卻深刻的腳步在相似的場域踏行,所累計的步數等同觀看展所累計的集體記憶,期待是有更高的視野給予這樣民間自發的鼓舞,有更有效的整合政策一起為台灣加油,讓到訪於此的人體驗台灣的藝術文創風情,讓支持前進的企業更看重參與其中的影響力,讓相信夢想的事持續傳說。今年粉樂町已進入第六年,最感動的仍是,每當我們談起某年某月在台北東區,「粉樂町」還是令人津津樂道,它很緩慢卻深刻!

Little Red Riding Hood-1/ Little Red Riding Hood-2/ Hide And Seek/ Take Of (2011) by YungYen TsuiFubon Art Foundation

YungYen Tsui adopts the classic fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood to discuss how women shape themselves as they mature. In different social settings, females are often conflicted between eagerness to and fear of displaying themselves. Underneath the fairytale-like hood, we see that shy Little Red Riding Hood is eager to grow up. She starts to walk the fine the line between self-exposure and the thrill of being watched.

Fubon Insurance Building (2011) by Hu, Ta-HuaFubon Art Foundation

“Timeless memories have been transformed from black and white images into vivid ones. The wonderful images of the bygone time manifest themselves in a picture in the form of colorful metal foils.”

Glamorously White (2011) by Tsui Hui YuFubon Art Foundation

In such a creative process, there is no awareness that draws the boundaries, only occasional attempts to create an excuse for any deviation.

Anti-Heroes (2011) by Liu Po-ChunFubon Art Foundation

Artist Liu Po-Chun has named this series after images of Vajrasattva, alluding to Wuxia, or stories of martial arts, along with other genres like mythology and science fiction movies. The strength, prowess, and invincibility of these contours resemble the Buddhist Vajrasattva and the state of a powerful completion.

Good Heart Man (2011) by Owen Chuang and Cloud LuFubon Art Foundation

The work “Good Hearted Man” is made of old Fubon uniforms, cut and re-sewn.

The theme depicts a “sphere man” who, out of a strong love and care for Earth, carries the recycled clothing on his shoulders. The mirrors on his feet reflect a smiling face: the attitude that carries him through this important mission.

As you like it/ I want to give you the chickweed… (2011) by Ena NagaoFubon Art Foundation

In a space devoted to yoga learners,white resembles purity.

As demonstrated by the wooden puppets dressed in same-color boxers sprawling comfortablyon the floor.

For another piece of work, artist Nagao has sculpted a solemn-looking boy, who curls his ten fingers to pass along a token.

Traffic/ Element 1/ Wireframe Model01 ver.02/ Hanging City (2011) by Katsumi HayakawaFubon Art Foundation

Several types of rectangular solids and cubes made with paper were composed to make real spaces, which are not illusions. By keeping color to a minimum, the artist presents a series of works made by trial-and-error, considering the picture’s composition and structure from different angles

arching/ American size/ Ifemale bust I/my ex-lover is your very new sweet heart (2011) by Luo, Jr ShinFubon Art Foundation

Artist Luo, Jr shin knows how to capture the subtle moments in everyday life. He does so by freezing a moment in time to enlarge the conflict and absurdity within. The artist adopts ordinary objects as source materials for his creation and reproduces “reality” using the wealth of imagery embedded in the objects.

Urban Jewelry (2011) by Liesbet BusscheFubon Art Foundation

With Liesbet Bussche’s ingenuity, the street signs, fences and pedestrian island have been transformed into elegant jewelry exhibition. Fixed objects quietly carrying out their duty in the corner of a city have all of a sudden become lithe and pleasant.

Bits and Bits (2011) by Tai Hsuan LinFubon Art Foundation

“Bits and Bits represents the trifles in our everyday lives. The color lines that popped out of picture books record the pleasure of every summer.”

Echoes- Flowers Myth (2011) by Shinji OhmakiFubon Art Foundation

This piece expresses the awareness of the existence of an object by viewing the empty space that the object once occupied.
By drawing flowers on an empty space, Ohmaki captures the story of an object as a blank silhouette or “shade,” visualizing the absence of that which should be there.

The Mango Tree (2011) by Tsai Hsiao-Chi and Yoshikawa KimiyaFubon Art Foundation

In collaboration with sculptor Yoshikawa Kimiya, Tsai takes unremarkable pieces of soft fabric, cuts it into flamboyantly abstract shapes, and weaves those shapes amongst the branches of the mango tree. The effect is that of a cloud floating in midair.

Her work has transformed a plain-looking mango tree into a kaleidoscope: an exuberant sculpture that evokes boundless joy in passers-by.
