Curtain Wall: workshop & testing


Cutain Wall is a work for the exhibition of Koganecho Bazaar 2010 at Yokohama, Japan.
The whole project includes 4 workshops with local residents and resident artists producing 4 pieces of patchwork, hanging up on the steel fences underneath the Keihin railway tracks.

During each testing:

作品說明 Work Description

'Curtain Wall' is a collaboration work between Taiwan artist Julie Chou (Ling-Chih Chou) and Koganecho community. Using body movement and patchwork as elements and means, she held 4 workshops with participants from local residents, school kids, resident artists in the community and office staff.

The colors and patterns of the fabric are freely adopted by workshop participants, and pasted on the ground piece. The artist and volunteers then fixed them by hand-sawing. Through the different focus and interaction designed for each workshop, the final result shows the free flow of creativity and a series of lively compositions, which add more bright and happy atmosphere to the installation spot that is the lackluster steel fences underneath the elevated railway tracks.

「拼布大壁畫」(Curtain Wall) 是台灣藝術家周靈芝 (Ling-Chih Chou) 與黃金町社區合作完成的一件作品,以肢體活動為基礎,採用拼布創作方式,分四次工作坊設計完成。參與者包括了來自社區的居民、小朋友、社區進駐藝術家以及事務所員工。

作品內容的色彩和圖案皆由參與民眾自由選擇,再以膠黏著,最後的整理則由藝術家和志工完成,包括手縫固定等。透過每次工作坊不同的引導和互動設計,參與者的創造力得以自由發揮,進而構成一系列奔放的構圖,為作品最後陳列所在的高架鐵路下鋼板圍籬旁的小巷,增添許多活潑和快樂氣息。
