駐村資訊
Residency Program
藝術進駐提供給藝術家一種脫離常規、尋找靈感和進修學習的方式，經由專業藝文組織的引介，與在地居民及藝術社群發展出獨有的社會關係，並重新回饋至藝術家自身成為創作的養分。基於工藝在當代藝術中如今的定位及發展，及台灣近幾年興起的手作風潮，駐村研究展區選出十三個橫跨北美、日、韓、澳、東南亞地區及台灣在地致力於提供創作者完善的創作環境、設備、技術指導及在地交流支持的藝術進駐單位。當中除了有提供較常見的如陶瓷、木作的工作室，亦有備有玻璃、織品纖維、珠寶金工、鐵工等多元媒材的專業工作室。我們試以認識國內外藝術進駐單位針對工藝的關注與發展現況，重新思考工藝賦予當代的價值，同時將藝術進駐單位介紹給有意至國外交流的藝術工作者。
Artist-in-residence programs are an out-of-ordinary way for artists to learn and search for inspiration. Through the introduction of professional art and culture organizations, artists get to form unique social relationships with local residents and art communities, as well as nurture their creativity as artists.
Based on craft’s current position and development in contemporary art, coupled with the “made-by-hand” trend in recent years in Taiwan, our research section lists 13 residency programs from North America, Japan, Korea, Australia, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan that dedicate to providing art workers good creating environments, facilities & equipment, technical guidance, and support for local exchanges.
Among the programs are studios for the commonly-seen ceramics and woodwork, as well as professional studios for glass, fabrics & fiber, jewelry & metalwork, ironwork, and other media. As we learn to grasp the current development of craft and the attention craft receives from international and local residency programs, we rethink the contemporary value given by craft and in the meantime introduce art workers who intend to engage in international exchange to these programs.
