summer carpet

設置基地位於人們經常使用的空間，雖然林蔭環繞，卻缺少公園中被期待可躺可臥的綠地。在《夏日地毯22-36》計劃中，貼近的觀察二二八和平公園裡頭的這塊光禿的“綠地預定地”，從消費者對都會高價房市的權狀夢想出發，計畫在公園的花台上、被人們踩踏成黃土的林間，以房仲業者的角色，提出其所推銷的樣品屋空間平面圖為藍圖，將草皮如地毯般鋪設出被設計的私人使用坪數，在貧脊堅硬的地表上，試著讓草皮可以延伸出樣品屋所規範的私有領域。打破「公共空間」＆「私有空間」的模糊界限，藉由草地的自然生長，邀請民眾進入坐臥。

作品在仿造房仲業者呈現商品物件所打造出建案基地的精神標本，藉由人們對土地的開展，反轉用草植出「三房兩廳兩衛」的人工自然樣貌，回應本案古蹟修復再利用的創作脈絡，透過藝術創作的形式〝錯置〞既有土地的使用功能與價值。當這標本建置在人們過度踩踏的黃土上，其也意味將藉由草皮可拓展的自由繁殖，在我們有所感的公共空間，再造私有化，又將私有化反轉為公有化，利用草皮原生的可擴展性對照在建案法規中被意識的公共空間，提問「公共」於當代社會中介於模糊分際的解讀範疇

In this project, I take on the perspective of a real-estate agent and comes up with the conceptual marketing plan of “ Summer Carpet 22-36”. Starting with everyday consumer’s dream of highly priced property, and taking from the concept of “ ecological green reserved land”, the artist deliberately covers the given space with astro-turf. Similar to the lay-out floor plan used in model homes, the presentation is intended to construct a conceptual private property on a public realm. Based on people’s desires in owning real-estates and land, the astro-turf is used to portrary the layouts of a “ three-bed, two-living room, two-bath” or a “ two-bed, one-living room, one-bath”. At the same time, the objective of this art endeavor is to also encourge the public to contemplate about the values behind the restorations and reuses of cultural heritage sites.
