課程內容簡介:

 
有機土的故事-從餐桌到堆肥 The story of organic soil – From kitchen table to garden compost
蘇禮偉

餐桌上的殘羹剩餚,如何變成花園裡的有機沃土?台北國際藝術村村落餐廳的主人Jason Su要和你分享怎樣利用廚餘製作成有機土的故事。Jason早年玩音樂,嚮往崇尚自然和自由的嬉皮生活。2009年因協助澳洲藝術家Rodney Glick在台北國際藝術村駐村時進行的養肥計劃而意外展開了他的堆肥製作實驗,並進而體悟了食物從餐桌到堆肥、再從堆肥進入土壤而回到餐桌的過程中,所呈現的食物經驗和環境思維。


大地之屋-蓋一間自然會消失的屋子 Earth House – Making adobe house
李朝倉

台灣早期的民間住宅有許多土埆厝,但歷經水泥、鋼筋等高碳耗能建材的現代化建築工事出現後,用土製磚來蓋房子的古老技術已幾近失傳。藝術家李朝倉在回到中部家鄉西螺後,集結了一群親朋好友,號召以在地自然材料來建屋,尋找就近可以取得的自然資源,以及尋訪碩果僅存的老匠師,在一個荒廢許久的廢棄兵營內,重新開始打造一座擁有人的溫度的土埆厝,從踩土入模曬磚,到堆疊糯米卵石地基和用土埆砌牆,每一階段皆是靠著在地民眾和外來志工自發性地一點一滴累積而成。過程中有汗水、有歡笑,更有開心投入後的幸福感。傳統技法透過實踐的過程,也得以保存。一起來聽聽大地之屋的故事。


食物地圖大旅行-算算你的食物離你有多遠? Food Map – How far does your food come from?
周靈芝

你每天吃下的食物從那裡來?距離你住的地方有多遠?得要花多少輸送里程才能送到你的口中?食物不只反映了我們的個人身心健康狀況,也反映了整個生產關係中,從產地到消費者手中的各種環境、政策和貿易的相互作用。運送得愈遠,代表著消耗的能量成本愈高,對環境的影響也愈大。藝術家周靈芝邀請大家以親手繪製的方式,一起來探討日常生活中食物里程的經濟地理和生態環境的關係。


自己種小麥,做麵包-糧食自主的麥田狂想曲 Growing wheat and making bread locally – Vision on self-sufficiency of food in wheat field
施明煌

台灣每年需要小麥超過一百萬噸,金額接近兩億美金,以供應滿街林立的麵包店、烘焙坊和速食店所用。然而這些小麥大多不是國內生產的,而是從國外進口,主要是美、澳兩國。進口糧食不免受到許多國際政治、經濟、油價波動等因素的影響而帶動原料價格,牽動國內民生物價。工程背景出身的施明煌,卻在偶然因緣下,一頭栽進扶持身心障礙者就業、開設麵包烘焙坊的事業,進而尋求在國內自產小麥、讓麵包產製的整個上下游形成一個完整循環,以達成糧食自主的理想。一路走來雖然艱辛,但也有逐漸結合農民投入和消費者認同的欣慰。來聽聽暱稱阿達碼的施明煌介紹他的麥田大夢想。


大地料理-認識在地食材 / 採集之旅 Table on Land – Edible plants in landscape
張妙祝

擔任西螺藝術兵營主廚的張妙祝,放棄了台中行銷工作的生活回鄉,因緣際會投入地方文資保護的行列。在藝術兵營,她負責戰地伙房,並透過共食、認識食材、了解在地文化、飲食文化,來傳達飲食的生活態度。擁有行銷企劃、研發食物故事經驗的她,在完全沒有官方資源挹注的情況下,靠著民眾、參與者提供的物資、菜蔬,以及園內自然生長的植物,讓參與者共同變成有故事豐富可口的佳肴美食。這次工作坊中,除了分享她在西螺藝術兵營提供的美食紀錄外,讓我們跟著她,在寶藏巖一起來一次綠色的寶藏之旅。


蓋亞計劃-呼提克人的生活與文明 Gaia project The life and culture of Hootikor People
呂沐芢 (拉馬 默提斯)

在地球上的高雄縣大樹鄉出現了一顆新的星球-呼提克,呼提克星球上有呼提克人創造的呼提克文明。呼提克文明是根據蓋亞理論所發展出來的一種生活方式。所謂蓋亞(Gaia),是希臘神話中大地女神的名字。1979年地球生理學者拉夫洛克以蓋亞為書名,對地球的生存變化,從其發生到有生命及至現代地球受到人為的破壞,導致一些似是而非的環保思想,提出蓋亞假說,並發展成其蓋亞理論。呼提克人試圖以符合環境生態的嘗試和實驗為準則,包括食衣住行各方面,擺脫現有文明的束縛及可能因此而帶來的環境災難。他們「用身體進行農事,以喚醒知覺大地脈搏的能力;相信能量與意志的運用,並四處學習以憶起更多與自然的對話。」這次呼提克人遊牧至寶藏巖,將和寶藏巖以及周遭的環境、居民產生對話。


大師講座 Master Lecture生態藝術 Eco-Art
David Haley

來台多次的英國生態藝術家David Haley,對台灣並不陌生。他是曼徹斯特大學教授,從事生態藝術創作已將近二十年,主要關切為水系和氣候變遷的因應。2006年起與著名美國生態藝術先驅Harrison夫婦合作,在英國進行大型的跨域計劃《溫室英國》,探討全球暖化、海水上升後,英國各地被海水入侵的狀況,以及如何因應之道;是生態藝術創作中,極具規模和視野的典範之一。2008年受邀為顧問之一,參與嘉義北回歸線環境藝術行動海區的蚵貝論壇,對台灣西南海岸國土變遷的議題也頗多關注。近來專注的焦點為:經濟學的藝術、真實的生存狀態,永續創意城市和洪水防治,以及後工業時代的地景與藝術等。目前正在進行的計劃有:《恩典之樹》和重訪《海中一滴,生命之跡》。前者是在英格蘭北部廣植因生長緩慢、長壽而有「公孫樹」之稱的銀杏樹,期盼它千年之後茂密成林。後者則是以跨領域藝術創作的方式,重新演繹舊作《海中一滴,生命之跡》,從英格蘭一條河流的水中細菌,追蹤它透過水系和大氣變化,穿越大西洋,最後又返回英國的旅程,對氣候變遷與演化的關係發出提問。

Ecosystem and Creativity



Introduction to the workshop and lectures:

有機土的故事-從餐桌到堆肥 The story of organic soil – From kitchen table to garden compost
Jason Su

How can the kitchen waste and the dining table leftover be transformed into organic garden soil?  Jason Su from Village Restaurant of Taipei Artist Village likes to share with you the story of making compost from food scraps.  Jason was interested in music in his youth and aspired to a hippie life that respect Nature and Freedom. In 2009 he helped Australian resident artist Rodney Glick to carry out a compost project and began his own experiment on making compost. Through the whole year round process of the experiment, he realizes the food cycle and its embodiment of the relations from human health to environment.


大地之屋-用泥土蓋房子的自然造屋法 Earth House – Making adobe house
Chao-Chang Lee

In early days, there were many adobe houses in Taiwan. However, after the adoption of modern technology of cement and cramp iron, the old building skill for adobe houses has almost been lost. Artist Chao-Chang Lee returned his hometown Silou and gathered a group of families and friends, initiated the project of Earth House. By seeking the natural resources, using local materials, and looking for old masters, they began building an adobe house in a disused army camp. Step by step, all the works are done by volunteers and local residents. Each traditional technique of making  adobe bricks, laying cobbles for the base and piling up bricks to the wall is preserved by practice. The knowledge of the immediate environment is increased as well. Full of fun and happiness of fulfillment, it's a story worth to know – the Earth House.


食物地圖大旅行-算算你的食物離你有多遠? Food Map – How far does your food come from?
Julie Chou

Where does your food come from? How far is it from you? How many miles it has to travel to reach you? Food not only reflects our health situation, also reflects the outcome of a complex interaction of environment, policy and trade in the productive cycle of producers to consumers. The further the food goes, the higher the energy costs, and the bigger it affects to the environment. Artist Julie Chou invites everyone to draw a food map to explore the relations between the economic geography and the environmental effect in daily life.


自己種小麥,做麵包-糧食自主的麥田狂想曲 Growing wheat and making bread locally – Vision on self-sufficiency of food in wheat field
Ming-Huang Shih

More than 1 million tons wheat are needed every year to provide bakeries and fast food restaurants on streets in Taiwan, which amounts to almost US$ 200 millions. However, most of the wheat are imported from the United States and Australia, not locally produced. The cost of imported goods is always fluctuated with many influences such as international political, economic situation and the oil price, which again affects to the domestic price of goods. With an engineering background,  Ming-Huang Shih accidentally stepped into a career of helping disabled people by establishing a bakery and hiring them as employees. Then it develops into a pursuit of growing wheat locally to  complete a productive cycle of wheat to bread, and to accomplish the goal of food self-sufficiency. Although it's a journey of hardship and perseverance, gradually Shih's efforts were paid off by more involvement from the farmers and the recognition from the consumers. He is going to share his big vision of wheat fields in Taiwan with all of us.


大地料理-認識在地食材 / 採集之旅 Table on Land – Edible plants in landscape
Miao-Chu Chang

Miao-Chu Chang is the chef at Silou Army Camp of Art. She left her office job in Taichung; returned back to her hometown and joined the preservation efforts for local cultural assets. At Army Camp of Art, she is in charge of preparing meals for volunteers, curious visitors and local residents who come to help. Owing to abundant knowledge and experience with plants and stories about food, and through the understanding of local environment and local food culture, she can always encourage participants to make a homey meal of the vegetables and plants together that donated by local people, brought by volunteers, and found on the ground of the open space at the site. In this workshop, besides sharing with us the documentation of the meals having been prepared at Silou Army Camp of Art, she will lead a tour of edible plants at Treasure Hill.


蓋亞計劃-呼提克人的生活與文明 Gaia project The life and culture of Hootikor People
Mu-Jen Lu (Lama Moltis)

Gaia project is an art project of invented civilization. On the planet of Earth, there a new celestial body was born – the Hootikor. On Hootikor, there lives the Hootikor people who develops the Hootikor culture. Hootikor culture is a lifestyle based on Gaia theory. 'Gaia' is the name of the earth goddess in Greek mythology who represents the power of the earth. In 1979 an independent scientist, environmentalist and futurologist James Lovelock entitled his book as Gaia: A new look at life on Earth and suggested Gaia hypothesis to cover all issues from the changes on planet earth to the emergence of life and its evolution until the modern destruction that human did to the earth. The hypothesis was developed further into Gaia theory.  Hootikor people tries to cope up their trials and experiments in daily life with the principles standing to ecological and environmental concerns, shaking off the constraints of modern civilization and the environmental disasters brought along. They tried to “use body to do farming, to arouse the ability of sensing the pulse of the earth; believing the power of energy and will, and learn from anyone, anywhere to recall more dialogue with the Nature.” This time the Hootikor people travels to Treasure Hill. They will initiate a dialogue between them and the environment and residents at Treasure Hill.


大師講座 Master Lecture生態藝術 Eco-Art
David Haley

British artist David Haley has been to Taiwan five times, so he is not a complete stranger to Taiwan. He teaches at Manchester Metropolitan University, and has been devoted to ecological art for almost 20 years. The major concerns of his projects are water systems and climate change. One of David Haley’s collaborations with American artists Helen and Newton Harrison was ‘Greenhouse Britain: Losing Ground, Gaining Wisdom’, a large-scale project to explore the consequences of sea-level rising due to climate change on the whole of mainland Britain. This example of ecological art demonstrated collaboration with many disciplines to work at different scales to ‘shift to face of disaster to the face of opportunity’.

In 2008 David was invited to be one of the advisors to the international forum of oyster shells in Art as Environment - Cultural Action on Tropic of Cancer at Chiayi and pay close attention to the issue of changing coast in southwest Taiwan. His recent research focuses on themes such as: the art of economy, sustainable creative cities, freshwater generation, flood risk management and the contribution of art to post-industrial landscapes. His current projects include: “Trees of Grace” and re-visiting “A Drop in the Ocean, a Trace of Life” as 'transdisciplinary' artworks. The former considers a thousand year project for three generations of forest in the North of England with ginkgo biloba as the 'keystone' species of tree. The latter reinterprets a work of 1998 which traces the journey of one waterborne bacterium from the source of the River Mersey in England, all the way through river, ocean and vaporization to the American continents to return and fall as rain to form the River Mersey again in England, and presents the whole journey to ask questions about evolution and climate change.


大師工作坊 Master Workshop生態與創意 Ecosystem and Creativity
David Haley

The Master workshop is to conclude the previous sessions of workshop and lectures by drafting issues of ‘Futures Capabilities’ and other themes, through dialogue with British artist David Haley. This process, we will creatively explore some approaches for the need of ‘ecological growth’.
