How not to forget history? Wai-leung Lai turns to the concrete contribution of an object-based approach in installation art, following up on his last piece on the show Mending Years to assert the place of the non-expert in completing an art event as a form of social commemoration. 據點作者黎偉亮要求「歷史毋忘」要具體,也許在以「物」為軸的場域特定展覽《縫補歲月》中,他找到了裝置藝術所盛載的一點貢獻。
[Mending Years 縫補歲月] Curator Ying-chi Tang sees the present in the 5 stories of the past that harp back onto the 1960s-1970s, arguing that the public and domestic are integrally one, as the artists in the group show present. 策展人鄧凝姿眼中的「縫補歲月」不單是上世紀的六七十年代,也是構成今天的一部份;透過五位創作者的視野,她看見公共領域和家居細活之間的千絲萬縷。

It takes many brains and strong desires to subvert a bulk of junk — Fuk-kuen Wong looking back at the Assemblage events in May and June 2022. 要顛覆一堆垃圾,確實需要大量腦汁+動手的慾望。黃福權回望兩個月來的石硤尾「聚疊」重探。
據點句點新成員鄭嘉雯參加了2022年5月6日星期五晚的 Assemblage 熱身,自行發現「聚疊」的內藴。即興是怎樣的一回事? What does improvization look like? FPC new member Dory Cheng provided her account as a fresh performer-participant at the 6th May Assemblage.
《巢》是「安全感」的符號,內部的情感流向自成一體,同時是個「開發可重複利用的媒體裝置」;對訪者來說,強調無敘事的觀賞。據點海外作者蔡季妙於2020年12月底到訪了。巢內部住進皮膚裡的感官思維是怎樣的呢?Nest is the exquisite architectural work of the Ploceidae in nature; “Nest,” now on in Taipei, is an enclosed installation space of internal circulations deploying recyclable media.

完成「據點。句點」第一屆西班牙哥多華C3A駐場藝術家計劃的Jessica Fu回顧一個月的體驗,再次覺悟她我的特定環境裝置作品往往是個引導體,領觀眾超越可見作品的本身朝向為可見的未來,應對數據爆發的時代的無助感。Jessica Fu completed her month-long residency in Cordoba’s C3A, FP’s first edition of artist’s residency at Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Cordoba, Spain. She understands her site-specific installations are often visible vehicles that lead their beholder to the unknown visible of the future and, personally, her response to a sense of helplessness living in a milieu of exploding data yet kept esoteric by authorities.
