"Art came in, the community is not the same" - at the top of country road met really creative mural

Ancient Bengang, the story behind the plate head house - on the trail today

　　Board first community located in Newport (Chiayi County) between North Port (Yunlin County) and 北港溪 the south coast, when a high-speed rail south into the Chiayi County 北港溪 when crossed, looking out the window from the right, that is, Newport Township board head house. If the drive from downtown Newport, after the bottom along the west line of County Road Kerry 164,159 a high iron elevated, meaning immediately into the right hand side of the road, you can reach the plate kiln. Along the way there will be a short distance every input on creative art installations, such as the erection of sleepers formed "Okawa Poetics" and an only white egrets ①, or the introduction of a knowing smile, "View Longting ' The dragon-infested hour meter, the inner galvanized sheet vintage white paint some off, with the words south, north to a different time, at first glance it is not entirely Lenovo high-speed rail in this passing moment. In addition, David Chiayi County Passenger metal bus parked outside the ticket booth, the recovery of sugar iron head resting station, so time to stay in thirty or forty years ago, you can still smell as if the situation bustling year. And within this small village there is a top local garden shop, the old river dry potatoes (yellow water of the studio culture), two monuments Narcissus Palace, board Tao, Tao Hua kiln two of Cochin, 剪黏 Cultural Park, it production material supply with the size of Taiwan temple Jiannian decorative materials, with the ground diverse cultural landscape, here is truly art village.

 
Revival Iron Bridge - old TSC railway

　　Into the village, you will see the old TSC railway from south to north throughout the village, it is understood paragraph sugar iron in 1917 to assume the Newport (Mukden Palace) and Pak (temples), or even two, Chiayi and Yunlin important passenger transport between the work places. Peak period, passenger capacity can reach five thousand people a day, one can imagine the scenery of the year, passenger traffic has been running for 65 years, until 1982 served its purpose. Then when the Government of the Republic 87 years want to cross the iron bridge 北港溪 revival removal, in running local cultural and historical groups, plus the ancient cultural heritage 笨港 toe (collapse Creek missing) rescue archaeological excavations carried out the work, Ironbridge only able to be saved, and in 90 years the Republic of China officially logged in as Chiayi County Historical buildings. Community building vision board first house of "believe that one day turn to train ei" in this show exhaustive.

　　After 笨港 ancient ruins, ruins of Deputy Administrative board first house was built in 1911 mining and iron bridge was listed as the revival of historic buildings, the CCA will allocate 33.9 million yuan this area to be a renovation, preservation and restoration, engineering including the part of the pier warranty ②, sleepers, rails, the new viewing platform and an imitation Thirteen landmark museum exterior landscape wall, stands on the south bank Beigang Xi, and the formation of the archaeological reality show "ancient archaeological Bengang park. "And by the Chiayi County Board Tao Cultural Development Association (hereinafter referred to as the Association) performed "ancient 笨港 the dike and the surrounding environment and landscape is room for improvement plan" of 剪黏 the embankment wall is staggered at this, with Taiwanese immigrants ③ important position in the history of time and space on.

 
Board Tao, head of Mr. Chen Zhongzheng

　　So first Association Chen positive (hereinafter referred to as Chen n) For the embankment of Cochin 剪黏 composition, originally with "Tangshan to Taiwan" as Reflection spindle. In fact, he planned a long time ago in the heart of the embankment production in Taiwan and even the world's largest single Jiaozhi 剪黏 walls, aiming to reflect the board first house he formed the ambition and creativity 剪黏 Art Village of Cochin board head history house located intentions. Even for the use of the dam wall, the association also had to obtain permission of the relevant management unit. So when last year's CCA hastily launched the "Art Intervention Space" program, the association ④ at Miss 王嘉慧 informed, will it be possible to complete the project within a very short space of time in writing and made to the county and city governments the work.

　　剪黏 technology era under - Chen positive relationship with the ground

　　To talk about this program before, it should be simple statement Taiwan 剪黏 history of the process, in a hundred years it has already gone through a lot of transition, if thus to watch Taiwan's modern history is an interesting cut, because the craft techniques change is often accompanied by difficulty to obtain the material.剪黏 Japanese colonial period mainly as the main piece in the bowl, because the Japanese bowl texture thin, the available drill knife cutting. After the war the Kuomintang took over Taiwan, traditional craftsmen have for a long time did not live to meet later to be refurbished because Longshan Temple in Taipei, but Taiwan's pottery bowl is too thick, unfavorable cutting, while Japan Bowl because of political relations, not easy to obtain. One member had happened in the business of glass factory, then submitted that the renovation replace glass bowl piece, and later becoming the characteristics 剪黏, but glass at home is quite easy to save maintenance, expansion and contraction, especially its impact Temple Square Most giant, a Northwest rain or typhoons can cause damage.

　　Turn back to talk about the relationship between Taiwan and Chen 剪黏 positive from here. Chen is the country after graduation and then follow Lin Xing (uncle) and Cochin 剪黏 learning this traditional craft ⑤, according to him, when the mentoring relationship is often accompanied by relatives, among relatives and pull each other into. The early Chiayi to burn to Cochin (gas furnace) have been Yingge, then the cost of firing a kiln can be arrived on a megestrol. Therefore, the three-eight years ago with her husband, Lin Guo Revival will help boldly set up in Chiayi first gas kiln, so can greatly reduce the cost of making pottery, and 剪黏 material is still in stained glass as the main body. Until twenty years ago, Chiayi County righteousness Township Fengshan palace under Sijhou do Jiannian, find help and Chen Guo positive, he will be trying to convince the two parties to the temple pottery way to replace the glass, he led the temple of those in charge to Keelung lion ridge to see a small temple, its roof is decorated with pottery made Jiannian with this instance of the former, the Temple promised by then the two took Fengshan Palace Jiannian, The palace became the Fengshan in southern Taiwan as the first ceramic decorative materials 剪黏 temple, after the completion of the two sides are very satisfied, but also to avoid the glass more easily corrupted. Although at first the color is not rich glass pottery, especially high saturation of red and green, and later these problems are overcome one by one, in such a way it spread, smooth replace the glass in the process 剪黏 position ⑥. Chen then after being introduced gas tunnel kiln and mosaics mold machinery, continuous improvement of production technology, are greatly improved in terms of quality and quantity, to become the main supplier ⑦ Taiwan 剪黏 material. And five years ago began Cochin, Jiannian refined, art, or even a work of art.

　　But Chen is not being complacent, already has several factories in him, that should contribute to local, environmental transformation in recent years actively involved in community work, finishing with art from the board first house of TSC environment along the old railway , to "intervene Art Space" of the embankment large murals. In fact, after the completion of the Chiayi County government, "Old 笨港 archaeological park" is limited manpower, the park surrounding landscape once poor management, caused the long weeds, planting wilt. Since Chen and Xie autumn satin positive couple, a native of the plate itself headman, would not hesitate to come out with community residents, start step by step, the care of plants and trees from this park, most people can feel the ground of wisdom is to use two already dead trunk landscape trees, made Newport Xiong, Mob Sister large three-dimensional mosaic sculpture ⑧. The wasteland next to the original park has turned into a pool of lotus perfume and beauty corner, and later there will be more bank before further decorated with a large program of Cochin 剪黏, and successfully elected "Arts Intervention Space" National fifteen member count painting one case, it is the only traditional craft as the main creative project, now plans have been completed.

　　Penetration by the division of mural painting - "Top of the true spirit."

　　From last October plans approved by the CCA, the Chen being began to actively discuss the design and cloud HKUST 聂志 high teacher. Since the jury recommends large outdoor space, design element or from simple to complicated, so the design of artwork from the traditional temple-style "Tangshan to Taiwan" converted into a modern socialist-style, but then they completely overturned the theme was changed to native trees in the ground, "Melia" in the title. Niezhi high note board first house in this place, winter winds and windy, tree growth is generally difficult, while the Taiwan Melia native species of trees able to grow the best. It bears flowers white flowers in spring, summer, compared with green leaves, autumn yellow fruit is formed, after the winter litter suspended animation showing the whole tree to be coming alive again in spring flower. So first he designed the four Neem trees represent the changing seasons, and later that the four trees inadequate overall, final approval of the community agreed to a tree to cover, showing images of the four seasons, was finalized for review by the association began to be applied for.

 
Schematic continue to modify it

 
　　Before applying for the embankment site, 剪黏 Melia need to be prepared to spend more than a thousand flowers, this part spent more than a thousand special white porcelain bowl, and I do not know how many bowls of purple, and every one by the skilled master production, each to more than three hours, so just prepare white this part requires at least five thousand hours. Others, such as bowls and pottery firing temperature (Neem common insects), cut leaves, fruits, collect Jiuweng have to spend a lot of time. Finally began in late May as the site facilities, from the wall finishing, loft (playing papers), lock gecko, tie tin strip, put tin network, after the concrete in order to shape a large tree, and finally the scene Jiannian and modification. Now the embankment Jiannian work has been nearly completed, the white flowers, green leaves, fruits and branches of the overall effect of integration with the landscape each other, it's like the countryside Neem tree showing strong vitality, but low-key and not unexpected in a large surface above.

 Works Local 2

　Responsible for the three master ⑨ 剪黏 work, everyone has at least two, more than three decades of experience, when August 3rd visit to the site, several master Hawk shelves are doing, "winter branches' ending part, I personally experience what is "top real" spirit. Standing on the second floor story about the eagle shelves, saw a master is done with a brush the mud retouching, asked: "? Such a high place, can not see the difference in thickness from below, so small it needs to be done" just listen Master said dismissively: "Me to do according to Qi Gong (Taiwanese)." with respect to the modern emphasis on efficiency and anxious because of the phenomenon, the control of the one thing they are "top real" attitude, I saw a real Taiwan value. Also remembered a few days ago visited Chen positive, he said, "who consistently for the division." This sentence to Taiwanese read, it is easy to listen to "the higher teacher", and later under their interpretation, they would understand that the revival is a reason I'm often referred to him, a craft person can completely digest , also apprenticeship, she has only qualified to be called a teacher. But I learned from these 剪黏 master who, for "consistent person as a teacher," there are more than one layer of realization, it is possible to carry out a work attitude always taken seriously, not to explain to others, but a self- Claim.

 Chef working conditions

To establish an exemplary sense - moist ground creation

　　This year (2009) August 3 when CCA "Arts Intervention Space" five review board members once again came to the first house of the dike ⑩, unanimously gave the highest rating in this plan. In addition to the original design proved the right direction, but mainly their attitude is really impeccable. However, there is a program in execution fashion episode, during which some people think that the more the bank wall locations too remote, does not seem to set a good place, so that the Association has amended a plate head resting station renovation project, and later review Members considered the work place should not be set changes, or whether it should maintain the original location as well, to be implemented after the results of it, but also reflects the intention of the review committee and investment. Typically Review Committee and plans between the actors often appear contradictory state, while in the dike project, the run-in between the two seems just right, each 紧守 can lose their professional duty elastically mutual adjustment. Mid-term review and even 刘永逸 chief moderator CCPD two business units at said: "Art is the first year of implementation Intervention space, there is no standard answer, you need to have a good case to the interpretation, while the large mural embankment to agency way made as a starting point, a combination of traditional and contemporary design, flexible to the art into the public space, it is to "intervene Space Art" next best annotation for our. "

October 17 the results show activities. (Board kiln technology park of Cochin Jiannian provided) 

　　Based on field visits and observation, "artistic intervention Space" program in fifteen areas, not only in ancient 笨港 last on a stunning visual presentation, and the remaining fourteen creative community also is felt in the local culture of vitality. Maybe when we observe, examine the overall plan, while also concerned if the software build process involved in community arts or community when (for example: public participation, community interaction, in the way sound, local development, environmental issues, issues fermentation ... or visually on ...), but not only limited to the results presented in the last hardware reality, then we will allow people across the country to see more of the model, more moist, internalized and sustained creative mind, we will also be able to more Residents saw deep in pay between the public and art, it is equally impressive.

　　In addition, "artistic intervention Space" program case, CCA will provide overall program concept and funded, delivered directly to communities to perform their respective programs, other program than ever we have to go through layers of responsibility differ from county and city governments , presumably hoping to interact directly with the community method people try feasibility policy "bottom-up" is. Such central government directly facing the community or grassroots kindness, in the actual implementation, administrative processes are still too many referred to local governments, while the responsibility for business execution budget or local government but without the burden seems to add a lot of fuzzy zone, and responsibilities unclear. So I suggested that if the administration more precise division of responsibilities, or the whole system more effective administrative resources, and the overall administrative processes to be more direct and simplified, for "artistic intervention Space" will promote the implementation of more effective and is .

　　Finally, it is worth mentioning that the author visited several times Chen positive, in its low-key and reserved personality and modesty of conversation among craftsmen, felt the great power of humility, as bitter neem general, it seems very unusual, but deeply Taiwan folk vitality. So the CCA to "Arts Intervention Space" as "Taiwan Life Aesthetic Movement" started, trying to seek private sources of strength, and the first house in Newport board to perform, I think is doing the right choice. Although the CCA to take this step tread too hard, there is a maximum return, which should be its accumulated nearly two decades after the club made spiritual path, summed up the experience and practice.
