2020 赤腹松鼠《I'm a mouse!》
生活起物|莊騏鴻
材質:黃銅、複合材料

創作以生肖鼠年為題,從台灣常見的「赤腹松鼠」為發想起點,牠們常常會藏食物於樹洞或土壤中,但常常又忘記藏到哪裡,間接幫助植物發芽生長,同時對應草悟道生活的生生不息。 
然而自然的永續下,更需要人跟人和平共處。老鼠和松鼠,一個陰暗討厭、一個可愛討喜,我們希望藉由差異,詮釋「貼標籤」的社會議題。原本人人喊打的老鼠,為了獲得大家喜愛,不惜偽裝成松鼠隱藏真實的自己。一些笨拙的偽裝、吃東西的習慣,並不是想揭穿什麼,而是期盼去接納不同的存在。幫一個人貼上標籤很容易,要理解一個人卻很困難。 
哪天,卸下一些保護色,大聲說出 I'm a mouse!

2020 Red-Bellied Tree Squirrel《I'm a mouse!》
googoods design|Chuang Chi-Hong
Material:Brass、Mixed media

The creative process for this Year of the Rat themed piece was inspired by the red-bellied tree squirrel. Squirrels like to stash their food in trees and in the ground, and are not always able to find their cache. Their oblivious habits indirectly help plants germinate and grow, becoming an analogy for the vibrant atmosphere in and surrounding the Calligraphy Greenway.
The sustainability of nature is predicated on harmony between people. People see rats as repulsive, yet find squirrels adorable. We want to use this gap in perception to address the issue of stereotyping. The hideous rat masquerades as a squirrel to win acceptance and affection, but its eating habits and awkward disguise give away its true identity. The challenge for the audience is not to expose the deception, but instead to learn to accept differences. It is easier to stereotype a person than to develop a true understanding.
Let’s take off our disguises and shout “I am a mouse!”

Satoyama 12-Public art project


Named for the Satoyama Initiative and referencing the twelve Chinese zodiac signs, the title Satoyama 12 suggests a symbiotic coexistence between humans and nature.
The Satoyama 12 project is an initiative by the CMP Pujen Foundation for Arts and Culture. Local artists from a broad range of disciplines will be invited to present their interpretations of indigenous species and eco-friendly land use through installations displayed across the habitats of creativity in and around the Calligraphy Greenway. Beginning in 2020, the 12-year project aims to celebrate the flourishing symbiosis of art and land in Taiwan.
