每一顆星都能走上自己的星軌。浩瀚星圖並非一天造成，而萬物卻是經由工藝青年之手，自最日常的照起工誕生；從日日專注地投入，進而開拓出屬於自我的職人軌道。天工開物，臺灣當代工藝青年們也正以身懷的造物之藝，走出一條屬於自己的軌跡。工藝青年身處當代，有其對應外在當代社會處境、及內在自我認知的雙重面向，如何在其中開闢出一條能持之以恆的工藝星軌，是本展所欲呈現的探究目標。以工藝青年自身的時間軸來看，本展側重於隨著創作進程穩定、社會經濟運作模式較為清晰的確認志業發展期，以描繪出一幅更為聚焦的工藝青年群像。透過「日常造物照起工」、「開工就是要開市」、「光環自造者」、「人人有功練的多重邊界」、「放光照耀著的恆星」及「一個藍海星圖的誕生」六大主題區，分別探究工藝青年如何透過工藝創作對應其在地風土及情感面的觸動、建立起多元及多角的經濟模式、創新實驗將新科技與素材導入工藝、投射與反思自我形象設定、跨學科及地域持續精進技藝，以及在能量飽滿之際對於社會議題所投注的心力。展覽從青年工藝家如何由自身所處之真實場域為起點，層層向外推進；每一位以工藝為志業的當代工藝青年都有其貫穿本展六大展區主軸的立體面向，本展以策展及工藝家自選之雙向命題，以及工藝青年之代表性創作相互對應，在物與創作者的所思所想之間，勾勒出當代工藝青年在工藝志業之路上的星軌。哲學家班雅明（Walter Benjamin）曾說：「理念之於物件，如同星叢之於繁星。」（Ideas are to objects as constellations are to stars.）本展也藉由點出工藝繁星自我實現之星圖，廣角一探臺灣當代青年工藝宇宙中，隱然成形的星叢樣貌。本展同時響應繼國立臺灣工藝研究發展中心七十週年提出的「活工藝．工藝活」倡議，以「工藝70+1」為主軸推動工藝「漫活SLOHAS」；結合漫活（Slow）和樂活（Lohas），強調在緩慢（Slow）、智慧（Smart）和簡單（Simple）的基礎上，推動健康（Health）、美學（Aesthetics）和永續（Sustainability）的核心價值。藉由本展聚焦臺灣當代工藝青年，在漣漪效應的擴散之下，看見臺灣當代工藝青年於此際呈現出的浩瀚造物星圖。 Every star finds its own celestial path. The vast constellation was not crafted in a single day, yet all things are born through the relentless hands of young artisans. From the unwavering focus of each passing day, they carve out a path uniquely their own, a journey of mastery illuminated by dedication. Taiwan's young artisans are forging their unique paths through the art of creation. Living in the modern era, they face a dual challenge: responding to the demands of contemporary society while embarking on a personal journey of self-discovery. This exhibition delves into how these artisans shape lasting legacies, tracing their own constellations in the ever-expanding universe of craftsmanship. Viewed through the timeline of young artisans' journeys, this exhibition focuses on the pivotal phase of career development, characterized by a stable creative process and a clearer understanding of socio-economic dynamics. It aims to present a more concentrated and nuanced group portrait of young artisans. Through six thematic sections—'Crafting Everyday Objects,' 'Starting with the Market,' 'Self-Made Glory,' 'Mastery Across Boundaries,' 'Illuminating Stars,' and 'The Birth of a Blue Ocean Star Map'—the exhibition delves into how young artisans respond to local landscapes and emotional connections through their craft, establish diverse and multi-dimensional economic models, innovate by integrating new technologies and materials into traditional practices, project and reflect on their self-identity, refine their skills across disciplines and regions, and, at the peak of their creative energy, channel their efforts into addressing pressing social issues. The exhibition starts by showing how young artisans draw inspiration from their everyday surroundings, gradually expanding their creative vision outward. Each artisan who chooses craftsmanship as a career reflects different aspects that connect to the six main themes of the exhibition. By combining curatorial themes with personal stories shared by the artisans and showcasing their representative works, the exhibition creates a link between the objects and the thoughts behind them. It follows the unique journeys of these contemporary artisans as they explore and grow in their craft. The philosopher Walter Benjamin once said, 'Ideas are to objects as constellations are to stars.' This exhibition explores how young Taiwanese artisans form new connections in their craft, shining a light on their journeys of self-realization. This exhibition also responds to the " Living Craft, Crafting Life " initiative launched in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute, centering on the theme of "Craft 70+1" to promote the concept of "SLOHAS Craftsmanship." By combining the ideas of Slow and Lohas (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability), the initiative emphasizes core values of Health, Aesthetics, and Sustainability, rooted in the principles of being Slow, Smart, and Simple. Through this exhibition, which spotlights contemporary Taiwanese artisan youth, we witness the expansive star map of creation they present, radiating outward in a ripple effect that defines the spirit of contemporary Taiwanese craftsmanship.
