南投境：不只是 工藝｜尋找土地行蹤 [文化觀光展區]
Nantou: Tracing the Imprints of the Land Cultural Tourism Zone
文化來自生活的積累，工藝則是生活最具體的呈現。它源於日常，也長久存在於日常之中。隨著時代改變、科技發展與生活型態轉變，工藝的形式雖不斷變化，但其來自生活的本質始終未變。只是當工藝逐漸被侷限於既有分類與展示框架之中，也開始與真實生活產生距離。
「2026–2027工藝遶境」以「不只是 工藝」作為策展核心，希望重新開啟工藝與當代生活之間的對話關係。工藝不再只是單一領域中的展示，而是轉化為一種媒介，與文化觀光、藝術、音樂、科技交織共振，讓工藝跨越既有邊界，順著生活的肌理，自然地回流到大眾的日常之中。
本次展覽主題「不只是 工藝」，並非形式上的改變，而是工藝如何重新進入當代生活。從地方文化、材料運用，到感知經驗與未來技術，工藝始終反映著人們如何在生活中回應環境，並留下屬於時代的文化痕跡。如同科技始終來自人性，工藝也始終來自生活，兩者皆與人的需求、情感與時代變化緊密相連。
展覽策展主軸以「島嶼工藝」作為四大軸線。南投境以「尋找土地行蹤」，透過自然元素與地景紋理，轉化為可感知的行蹤；花蓮境以「建構當代語彙」，將創作者情感與生命經驗，轉化為當代敘事；臺北境以「凝結感官節奏」，藉由樂器解構與感知維度的轉譯，展開一場關於技藝與聲音的深層對話；高雄境以「驅動科技進化」，透過科技介入與生成轉化，呈現工藝文化在流動中的新樣態。
對話，自古以來即是人類理解彼此、構建社會的關鍵方式，透過不同視域與世界觀的相遇及碰撞，激發創新的火花。「工藝×跨域對話」引領觀者以全新視角重新認識工藝，跨越傳統的界限，感受工藝於當代社會中的多重角色與價值，這不僅是一場視覺經驗的展演，更是一場關於思想、感知與創意的交流，打破框架開啟對工藝與生活更多層次的探索，創造出更深層的文化意義。
社會中每一個領域的元素，從來都不是孤立存在，而是在彼此交織之中相互促進、相互延伸。本計畫以工藝為核心，重新詮釋其於當代社會中的多重角色與價值，展現工藝在文化、生活與產業之間更豐富的層次與深度。「不只是 工藝」所關注的，並非形式上的擴張，而是讓工藝回歸生活本身，如同水一般，自然流動於日常之中，在潛移默化之間持續形塑當代文化的樣貌，並成為連結人與生活、傳統與未來的重要媒介。
從地方風土、生活習慣與工藝材料出發，觀看工藝如何因應不同土地環境而生。從山林、海洋到聚落與城市，工藝不只是技藝的展現，更承載著地方生活的記憶，以及人們與土地之間長時間累積的情感連結與文化脈絡。
本展區透過工藝與文化觀光的跨域結合，使工藝不再只是被觀看的物件，而成為一條引領觀者深入地方的文化路徑。藉由自然元素與地景紋理的轉譯，將地方故事化為可被感知的生活行蹤，使「觀看」延伸為一種深度的文化與經濟體驗，讓工藝如水般流動於日常之中，持續展現其溫度和價值與地方生命力。
Culture emerges from the accumulation of lived experiences, and craft is one of the most tangible manifestations of those experiences. Rooted in the everyday, craft has endured within the fabric of daily life for centuries. As times change, technology advances, and lifestyles evolve, the forms of craft may constantly evolve, but its essence rooted in everyday life remains unchanged. However, as craft becomes increasingly confined by traditional classifications and conventional frameworks, it begins to detach from the realities of daily life.
The 2026–2027 Craft Pilgrimage, centered on the curatorial theme “More Than Craft,” seeks to reopen a dialogue between craft and contemporary life. Craft is no longer presented merely within a single disciplinary framework; instead, it becomes a medium that resonates across cultural tourism, art, music, and technology. Transcending established boundaries, craft naturally flows back into everyday life, weaving itself into the textures of daily living.
The focus of “More Than Craft” is not merely a change in form, but a re-exploration of how craft reintegrates into modern living. From local culture and material usage to sensory experiences and future technologies, craftsmanship reflects how humanity responds to its environment, leaving cultural traces of each era. Just as technology comes from humanity, craft originates from life; both are intimately linked to human needs, emotions, and the passage of time.
The curatorial framework, “Island Craft,” unfolds through four distinct realms. The Nantou Realm, titled “Tracing the Imprints of the Land,” transforms natural elements and landscape textures into perceptible traces. The Hualien Realm, titled “Constructing Contemporary Expressions,” transforms the creators' emotions and life experiences into contemporary narratives. The Taipei Realm, titled “Condensing Sensory Rhythms,” unfolds a profound dialogue between craft and sound through the deconstruction of musical instruments and the translation of sensory dimensions. The Kaohsiung Realm, titled “Driving Technological Evolution,” presents emerging forms of craft culture through technological intervention and generative transformation.
Dialogue has always been fundamental to human understanding and the building of societies. Through the collision of diverse perspectives and worldviews, sparks of innovation are ignited. “Craft × Interdisciplinary Dialogue” invites viewers to re-examine craft from an entirely new perspective. By transcending traditional boundaries, this exhibition explores the multifaceted roles and values of craft in contemporary society. It is not merely a visual presentation, but an exchange of ideas, perceptions, and creativity—breaking frameworks to explore the deeper cultural significance of craft and life.
No element of society exists in isolation; instead, they evolve through constant interaction and mutual influence. This project centers on craft to re-interpret its diverse roles across culture, daily life, and industry. “More Than Craft” does not seek outward expansion, but rather a return to the essence of life—much like water, it flows naturally through the everyday, subtly shaping contemporary culture and serving as a vital bridge between tradition and the future.
Beginning with local landscapes, everyday customs, and material traditions, this zone explores how craft emerges in response to diverse environments and ways of living. From mountains and forests to coastal regions, settlements, and cities, craft is not merely an expression of technique, but a vessel of collective memory, carrying the cultural contexts and emotional ties cultivated between people and the land over time.
Through the convergence of craft and cultural tourism, the exhibition transforms craft from a static object of viewing into a cultural pathway that guides audiences deeper into local narratives and lived experiences. By translating natural elements and geographic textures into sensory encounters, local stories become tangible traces woven into everyday life. Viewing thus extends beyond observation into an immersive cultural experience, allowing craft to flow organically through daily life while continuously embodying warmth, local vitality, and cultural value.
