Relationship Studio Project
關係工作室計畫
2014-2016
“Relationship Studio” is the name of a discussion group, which was launched by another graduate student from Taipei National University of the Arts and me together to arouse discussion on labor within art production, and also, to broaden the discussion through the exhibition and workshop method. The naming of “Relationship” and “Studio” separately indicates “the re-connected relationship between laborers by way of group discussion” and “the continuously moving status of the discussion”. The idea pop out during the early stage of this studio, since there weren’t enough budgets to rent a real space, our discussion took place randomly and frequently upon the instant messenger app in the cyber space, at our own private place, or those idle space around campus.
In 2014, a discussion on value-allocation inspired me to reflect on “an alternative side of art-production labor system beyond the artist individuals”, and undertook to sort out the personal files of members in this labor system. Till 2016, “Relationship Studio” has accumulated 2 series of documents, and developed them into exhibitions separately afterwards—“When can we have the ability to produce our very first domestic car on our own?” and “Good Bye Mr. Jiang ”. Within the process of cooperating on these projects, our members gradually came up with respective solutions which might work better than “a discussion group” to deal with the art labor issue. Eventually it was after we finished the exhibition of “Good Bye Mr. Jiang ” that we decided to have “Relationship Studio” temporarily suspended.

關係工作室是一個討論群的名稱，主要由另外一名藝術大學當中的研究生與我開始，環繞著藝術生產過程中的勞力展開討論，並且試圖藉由展覽與工作坊的方式擴大這個討論群。關係工作室名稱當中的「關係」指得是透過討論重新串聯起來的勞動者之間的關係，「工作室」指得則是一個不斷移動的討論狀態，因為計畫剛開始時並沒有足夠的費用租賃一個空間作為工作室，這些討論隨機且密集地發生在通訊軟體、居家空間與校園的閒置空地當中。
2014年一場關於價值分配的討論讓我重新思考了「在藝術品的製造過程當中發生在藝術家之外的勞動體系」，並且開始整理這個勞動體系內部成員的檔案，直到2016年，關係工作室以勞動發生的場合作為單位，共整理了兩份檔案，並且分別為這兩份檔案舉辦了兩場展覽，《我們哪時才有第一部國產車》與《再見蔣先生》。但也在過程中，我們各自發現有比討論群更好的方式來處理這個問題，於是我們決定讓關係工作室在《再見蔣先生》的展覽結束後暫時告一個段落。
