2017百工圖—藝術中心與它的工友夥伴們
An Art Center and Its Non-Art Employees

本計畫獲台北市文化局「106年度表演藝術專案補助-臺北表演藝術中心創意節目前期展演計畫」補助，僅前期發展及內部測試，未公開發表。

計畫概念是由一群劇場創作者，邀請藝術場館內其專業領域「與藝術無關」的員工，以一對一的方式，協同發展出數個短展演，最後以類導覽的形式呈現這些展演。以非主流情境的真實人物為主體，創造非常軌的參與經驗，讓背後的結構被看見和理解。

本前期發展計畫有九位劇場背景創作者參加，於台北市立美術館休館期間，取得館方同意後進行。大約半年的前期發展過程中，訪談數位「非藝術」員工，從正職公務員或工友，到外包公司的派遣僱員都有，其職務面向含括：植栽、視聽、文書、機電、清潔、保全、駐警等。期間獲五至六位員工有意願參與計畫，三位持續至2017年11月份的內部試演。

劇場背景創作者：
​王于菁、王奕傑、林庭旭、陳侑汝、陳昱君、張吉米、曾彥婷、鄒欣寧、蕭於勤
協同創作員工：陳雅萍、蔡翌潔、劉崇德
發起及統籌：貢幼穎

感謝臺北市立美術館應允協助

An Art Center and Its Non-Art Employees

This work-in-process was subsidized by the funding initiative of the Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government. The fund was aimed to support the work’s research and development phase. A try-out was conducted within team members only. 

The concept is that a group of theatre artists collaborate with employees who work in an art institution but whose professional background is defined as nothing to do with art. One artist works with one employee. The aimed collaboration outcome is a series of short contemporary performances which can be participated by audience members as an alternative guided tour of that art institute. This performance project tries to reveal the big structure behind each individual who usually works from a marginal position. From their everyday experience, we would also like to examine the relations between us/art practitioners and art itself. 

There were nine theatre makers joining in this project. We chose the employees of Taipei Fine Art Museum as our targeted collaborators. After receiving consent from the management of TFAM, we started visiting and interviewing the museum’s “non-art” employees. The employees we had talked with ranged from official civil servants to temp workers. Their professions included gardening, audio-visual mechanics, engineering, government document archiving, cleaning, and security. There were five to six employees agreeing on the collaboration, and only three of them continued to work with us till the internal try-out in November 2017.

Artists: Yu-jing Wang, Jerome Wang, George Lin, Yulia Chen, Blue Chen, Jimi Zhang, Kappa Tseng, Shin-ning Tsou, Corinne Hsiao
TFAM employees: Yaping Chen, Janet Tsai, Franco Liu
Concept and coordination: Yoyo Kung

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Taipei Fine Art Museum.
