Now He studies at Doctoral program in Art Creation and Theory of Tainan National University of the Arts,He lives and works in Taiwan and Paris.


Hui-Chun Lin est compositrice et violoncelliste. Ses idées musicales s’inspirent de la musique classique et de la culture asiatique, évoluant par moments au sein d’un microcosme sonore. Mélodies et timbres se mêlent à la surface du son puis vagabondent plus loin. C’est une musique pour les voyageurs et les rêveurs. Hui-Chun Lin est en ce moment artiste en résidence à la Cité internationale des Arts à Paris.


Jam Wu was born in Tainan in 1979. A graduate in architecture from the Shih Chien University, he is also a poet, a photographer, a theater designer and an artist. He is inspired deeply by his childhood memories of his riverside home town, Yan Hsui. After winning many awards, he went to the north of Shaanxi province in China to learn paper-cutting and has transformed this traditional craftsmanship into a language of contemporary art, expressed in installations, lighting, images and public art.

Five Regulations

Two artists who live their lives separately in Paris and in London decided to exchange three clips of footages and each make an independent video based on the six clips and five regulations that they agreed upon.
The same imagery, through various interpretations, developed into different narratives.Both stories are left open for further imagination and understanding, it can be said that the work ends in the interpretation of the spectators.
< Five Regulations >
1) The video must be in black and white
2) It must be without sound
3) The fixed length of the finished work must be about 5 minutes
4) Every single clip has to be used in the finished work
5) It has to end in a tragedy
兩位分別居住於巴黎及倫敦的藝術家,透過網路彼此交換三段影像,再將六段影片依照五條共同制定的規則,製作出獨立的影片,同樣的影像在不同的詮釋之下有了各自開展的故事,故事結局將留待給觀者自我詮釋及想像。
<五條規則 >
1) 影片必須是黑白的
2) 影片必須是無聲的
3) 時間長度固定在五分鐘上下
4) 各自所擁有的六段影片必須每一段都使用到
5) 影片結局必須是悲劇

Things memory-the night market in two cities,taichung at Stock 20

物記憶-雙城夜市,台中

DECEMBER 4,2010-JANUARY 2,2011
OPENING: Saturday, DECEMBER 4


Stock 20 in Taichung , Taiwan

再平常不過的事物,就是最特殊也無法取代的事物,它們的存在牽動著我們對生活的特殊情感。

生活裡佈滿著各式各樣的事物,這些物看似沉默而馴服,卻牽制著我們的一舉一動。我們的慾望、遷徙、消遣、工作,乃至於日常生活,在在都依賴著這樣的物,而在這裡的夜間我們看到了一個特別的風景-夜市,這個充斥著被大量生產、輕質、價廉的事物所聚合之場域,其實更像是一座夜間博物館,而歷史刻痕並未保留在被收藏的物件上,取而代之是由於物過多的數量,佔滿了夜間城市中消費的空間,因為時間在事物身上的感受性消失了,導致物隨時可被替換,網絡也讓物流動於島嶼上每個城鄉,形成我們對物巨大的集體記憶。

Things memory-the night market in two cities計畫將這些尋常物件,透過特殊燈光與展台的鋪陳,再次地於夜間呈現另一番風景,在博物展示的手法下進行著收集、排列與組合,閃爍的光影加上紫外線的照射,讓物顯露了主體的輪廓與塑料材質的特性,物的剪影消弭了自身的功能價值,折返回純粹的幾何造形,而材質的反光性標示著物不同於日常的樣貌,呈現庶民文化中的視覺美感經驗。

Ludwig Wittgenstein之街屋計畫-市場之家 at Taichung


Ludwig Wittgenstein之街屋計畫-市場之家/Chaong-Wen Ting

Z space
語言哲學家維特根斯坦(Ludwig Wittgenstein)於1928在奧地利-歐洲都市近代化的先驅城市維也納設計了他唯一一座住宅-維特根斯坦之家,他將其明晰、嚴密的哲學思考在此建築上完整體現,然而維特根斯坦並沒有受過職業建築師的教育,但他於對機械和技術問題的強烈關心,發展到在哲學上追求精密的思考,在建築上對空間和細部追求極限的態度,從而藉由空間形塑的過程:既技術—構造—秩序三位一體,因而完成了可視的哲學裝置,其中最值得玩味之處是以一位哲學家的思考出發,獲得了“徹底的數學性”,這不僅著眼於建造的形式和材料,而是維特根斯坦對“精密”近似於瘋狂的追求。

Ludwig Wittgenstein之街屋計畫-市場之家,將藉由進入一棟位於老舊城區中的三層街屋,進行裝置物件的實驗與空間共構的各種形式,另一方面,也將探討裝置語言的轉化與非正式展場的空間運作,並嘗試在為期一年的營運時間中發覺與開啟此類型空間的多重面貌及可能性。

Ludwig Wittgenstein the street house project - the market house, by entering a city located in the old three-story shop houses, the device object and space experiments sharing structure for a variety of forms, on the other hand, will also explore the device and informal language into the operation of exhibition space, and try to one-year operation in the time it was found that this type of open space with multiple features and possibilities.

離開原來的家,到這裡生成一個新的家,過著第二人生。

事物的意義隨著空間和時間的變化而改變著,家屋是一面自我的明鏡,它的存在反應著屋內人的自我、其及對社會形象的想像,不管實體空間如何被轉換或更替,我們很容易也習於將心理的空間投射到身體所處的場域,以致於家屋顯露了更多的是自我與原生家庭的關係、屋內者的人生歷程變貌,是作為房子即是自我的最佳佐證,然若私空間滲入了公眾事物將會是一種什麼狀態 ? 特別是當藝術的活動在此發生,創作者與屋內者如何共同描繪出一個彼此想像的治域,藝術家透過自身的身體感知形構出一個與觀者共鳴的「共同世界」,而這個「世界」同時也建立在屋內者的經驗之中,成為一個介於物理空間和詩空間的新中介,並得以讓空間獨自開展,呈現自身與他者共同對於物質、內在與環境之體驗所在。

本計畫預計從2010年開始由巴黎、柏林、台灣三地分別邀請當地有意願的參與者,於計畫其間釋出自己的居所作為展覽場域,藉由空間形式的轉化、置入與重塑,測量藝術何以影響我們生存的空間,也作為公私領域中心理及身體議題上的另類探討。

家屋是在外在感知與內在想像的運作中所構築而成,家屋計畫即是更進一步呈顯當代多元文化中生存空間的多重面貌。
