If a Bookstore Could be….
如果有一間書店…
2015
This work is a part of “Relationship Studio Project”, co-worker CHIANG Ming-Chun, Wu Wentsui, Cheng Chi Li, Tsai Jun Young, Cheng Wen Che, Lin yu hsiang, introduction write by LI Kuei-Pi
This project was executed with our “Relationship Studio” as an exhibit work answering the invitation from Escents Bookcase, who as the exhibition curator had come up with the core concept: to let artists meet with a book and see how new ideas would sparkle within their interaction. The assignment for our group is “1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created” by Charles C. Mann.
Since the book features the reconstruction of the timescale as an analysis method on knowledge genealogy research, I attempted to begin with the analysis of the characteristic of the exhibition space, and thus, I decided to regard the book store as a knowledge economy. Then, I started to capture peoples’ imaginations about the possibility of a book store under different knowledge genealogies through the method of verbal communication, binding those ideas into a book, and restoring it back to the book store space. Meanwhile, through another discussion with regard to dancers, we also managed to practice a dance workshop in the same exhibition space.
Moreover, in the second round of this exhibition in Juming Museum, I invited participants, an architect and his friends, to represent all these imaginations about a book store by applying the form of architectural blueprint.
Special thanks to WU Wentsui, CHENG Chi Li, TSAI Jun Young, CHENG Wen Che, LIN yu hsiang

Installation in Escents Bookcase, 2015
這是關係工作室計畫所接觸的一個展覽邀約，來自於伊聖詩私房書櫃。這檔展覽的策劃人希望將藝術家與一本書並置產生討論，當時與關係工作室搭配的書籍是查爾斯‧曼恩的《1493物種大交換：丈量的世界史》。
回應書籍當中以時間做為知識系譜的分析方式，我們試圖從展示空間的性質著手，將書店視為一個知識的經濟體，以聊天的方式匯聚不同知識系譜對於書店的想像，將這些想像匯聚成冊，再次放回這個書店的空間之中。另外，在一篇關於舞者的討論當中，也以展示的書店做為場地，實踐了一個舞蹈工作坊。
而在第二次位於朱銘美術館的展示當中，我請參與討論的一名建築師與他的朋友們，將各篇討論當中對於書店的想像，透過建築藍圖呈現。
特別感謝：吳文翠、鄭基立、蔡君陽、陳文哲、林雨湘
