展覽介紹

本展以「臺灣工藝演譯28+」為主題，以「舞臺」概念展現臺灣工藝競賽28年來諸多創作面貌，登臺演繹一幕又一幕精采的戲碼。

 舞臺上的「演」是指透過物件創作競獎培育工藝人才，是孕育人才的擂臺，擂臺上展現一屆又一屆的工藝物件，是創作者公開發表的秀（Show）。「譯」是指轉譯（Translate），強調創作內容，指工藝物件所表達的美學、觀念、情感以及議題等。工藝根植於臺灣土地與自然環境，透過創作演譯，關懷與厚植這塊土地，是文化的創造與積累。而「+」 (Plus）是指工藝的未來性，工藝不再只是強調物件創作、滿足於創作者及物質等需求，如今已擴充到對公共性、社會性的當代價值和精神訴求，以及元工藝（Metacraft）跨界合創、虛實整合的多元內容與應用。以工藝作為一個生態系統，持續而有機的發聲，細緻地回應社會，打造良善循環、永續環境的未來。

臺灣工藝發展至當代，本著對自然、循環材料的信念、技藝的勞動實踐、工序工法的倫理、創作的民主自由、文化的傳承記憶、產業經濟的發展以及社會公益的實現等多元價值，倡議「臺灣綠工藝」的精神，以色彩心理學「綠」象徵自然環境、繁衍新生、和諧均衡等意涵。主張實踐面的「頂真精神」、「工作倫理」、「愉悅勞動」、「生活美學」以及本質面的「自然」、「循環」、「平衡」、「寬容」及「生命力」等九大價值。

本次展覽回望過去也展望未來，藉以宣佈臺灣工藝競賽轉型為「臺灣工藝獎」，呼應當代及未來發展，以「創作獎」為核心本位，「協作獎」作為環狀支持，健全台灣工藝產業生態系，以共好、共創、共融的公共化趨勢向未來發聲。

形制

形制是造型和構成，通常是視覺直觀的形象，包含寫實仿真、抽象幾何、單一元件（素）、複數組合或是材質紋理、觸感等，以形制表現美學觀或呼應創作思維。

秩序

秩序是指倫理教條和關係系統，包含社會或文化結構、制度、關係、習俗、價值與慣例相互連接的體系。在創作表現上，反應創作者因內、外在因素，講究創作的規矩或準則，或是表現混亂與無序的相反概念，例如拘束與解放、對稱與不對稱的樣態等。

當代性

當代包含「當下」的概念和「指向未來」的開放性。所謂創作的當代性即表達以創作觀念為主，包括關注生活、關注社會環境的永續、民主自由、族群、性別差異、科技應用與全球化等議題，其特徵不求完美，甚至是反傳統美的概念，崇尚缺陷、未完成、反思與批判等。

社會性

社會性是指透過思維與活動表現有利於社會發展的特性，強調社會關懷。同時也是指社會交往或互動過程中，單一或多重關係的建立，其特徵有利他性、協作性以及自覺性等。

Concept/

Taiwan Craft Stage

The craft sector in Taiwan has evolved over time as economical, political and social changes were brought to the society. Introducing competition serves to be one of the many supportive means to cope with industrial development. The theme to the exhibition, entitled the “Taiwan Craft Stage,” moreover, displays various creative aspects of the Taiwan Craft Competition for the past 28 years, and at the same time, puts on real eye-catchers surrounding the stage concept.

The “performance” on the stage, in this regard, refers to cultivating talents in the craft sector through holding competitions for authors to send objects they created for an award. The platform brought talents, along with craft objects, together from past competitions, putting on an open show for all authors. When it comes to translating the meaning behind craft objects, the creative content – mainly the aesthetics, concepts, emotions and issues – is particularly highlighted. The craft has its roots planted in the soil and natural environment of Taiwan. The culture regenerates and aggregates as creative objects translate, care and cultivate the land. Moreover, as the “plus (+, Plus)” suggested in the Chinese title of the exhibition, it points out future potential for the craft. The craft will no longer serve the purpose of emphasizing the creative aspect of objects to simply fulfill the authors’ satisfaction and make their ends meet. It has gradually expanded its scope to the public sphere and society to appeal to the contemporary values and spirituality. In addition to that, there are also cross-border creative attempts with the Metacraft and multiple contents as well as applications integrated in the virtual and actual states. The craft needs to be a holistic ecosystem to constantly and organically voice out its intricate responses to the society and to create a genuine cycle and sustainable environment for the future.

Taiwanese craft, characterized by its belief in natural and recyclable materials, manual practices of the craft, the ethics of the working process and method, the freedom to creation, cultural heritage, industrial development and social welfare practice, in fact, advocates Taiwan’s own “green craft” by associating with ecology, propagation, harmony and balance in terms of color psychology. To sum up, there are nine main values that the craft asserts. They are “conscientiousness-driven spirit,” “work ethics,” “pleasant laboring” as well as “life aesthetics” – when it comes down to practice – and intrinsically-speaking, “nature,” “cycle,” “balance,” “tolerance” and “vitality.”

This exhibition not only looks back in history but also looks forward to the future, announcing in the occasion that the Taiwan Craft Competition is giving way to the Taiwan Craft Award in norm to echo contemporary and future development. The award not only encourages individuals’ creative work but also praises researchers, educators and collaborators alike for their efforts to pave the way for developing the craft sector. It embodies the decentralization idea and has embarked on the public trends of common good, common creativity and common prosperity to voice out to the future.

Structure

Shape and composition constitute the Structure, which is usually the image perceived directly by the visual sense. It usually involves categories, such as realistic as well as life-like simulation, abstract geometry, single component, plural combination and textures as well as sense of touch in norm to express the aesthetics or to echo creative thinking.

Norm

Norm refers to a system which consists of ethical dogma and relationships. The interlocking systems include social or cultural structures, systems, relationships, customs, values and conventional practices. In terms of creative performance, it reflects the rules or norms adopted by the authors when they cope with internal or external factors. In addition to that, it might be expressive of the opposite ideas in relation to chaos and disorder, such as restraint vs. liberation as well as symmetry vs. asymmetry.

Contemporariness

Contemporariness constitutes the concept of the present moment and the openness of “pointing to the future.” The so-called ‘creative contemporariness’ expresses mainly the concepts that care about life, sustainability of the social environment, democracy as well as freedom, ethnic groups as well as gender differences, technical application and globalization. However, the very feature of contemporariness does not include pursuing perfection. On the other hand, it is against traditional notion of beauty. It even advocates the defected as well as unfinished, and reflection as well as criticism.

Sociality

Sociality is the characteristic that is beneficial to social development through thinking and activities. At the same time, it establishes single or multiple relationships through contact and interaction in social manners. It is characterized by altruistic behaviors, collaboration, and self-awareness.
