Taichung Art Museum inaugural exhibition opens
Taichung Art Museum inaugural exhibition opens
2025-12-18
The Taichung Green Museumbrary, also known as the Taichung Art Museum, is a significant new cultural landmark in Taiwan. Combining an art museum, a public library, and surrounding parkland, it offers a unique space for creativity and learning. FTV reporter Stephany Yang visited the museum’s inaugural exhibition and spoke with the artists and the director.
The Taichung Art Museum’s inaugural exhibition features over 70 artists from 20 countries. One of the artists exhibiting is Adrien Tirtiaux, a Belgian artist known for large-scale installations. This work, titled "Post-Museum Evidences", is a 25-meter-tall installation that cuts through the museum’s ground floor and two galleries. The work uses materials from the building’s construction.

It is like a giant drill. 25 meters high that would pierce through the whole museum. You can discover it in three parts. It is like three chapters. You are on the ground floor, then you go to the first exhibition space and the next. In each space, along this drill, you will discover different geological strata. Here you see the foot of the column, all the layers of the earth and stones that are beneath us. The more you go up, you will see I used materials of the construction of the museum. So, from Earth, you see asphalt and road pieces that correspond to the history of this park as an airport. You will see concrete, steel, and the mesh. And I started to use what I found here. Basically all the waste. The garbage as well to build my sculpture and to tell the story of life after the museum.
Another work is by Haegue Yang. It is her largest Venetian blind–based work to date, rising nearly 27 meters and conceived as a “cosmic tree” connecting earth and sky. By utilizing vertical LEDS and dotted laser lights, visitors can encounter shifting perspectives and light patterns in different parts of the day.

Artist
The name of the piece is Liquid Votive Three Shade Triade. It is a long title. I always give a very long title but the title gives a lot of hints of the piece. Liquid meaning something very fluid. Votive, meaning something you pray for and wish for. It is a 27-meter-high piece in one singular box. I think that is one breakthrough I can mention. The second one is, I think my work has not been exposed to such a dynamic lighting situation, meaning we have two looks of this piece. A daytime look and a nighttime look. In order to design the nighttime look, we work a lot with the lighting. There are two types of lighting that I never used before. One is an LED tube which has this very elegant curve. The second is the green dotted light that constantly moves to give a feeling of encountering fireflies in the middle of the forest at night. These two lights create a nocturnal look.
Another highlight is "Process" by Taiwanese artist Michael Lin. This installation transforms the museum’s glass roof into a vibrant painted surface, inspired by the mechanical printing process.

It is inspired by the mechanical printing process, kind of the industrial printing. One of the processes of the printing process that we kind of don’t see is the waste that is produced by that process. Because I worked with this printing process, I realized it produced a large amount of waste. I started to collect them and then I thought about reintroducing it in the work itself. That is what I really did here on a large scale. The complex as you know, is made up of a museum and a library. The sky bridge that we are on right now is the only place you can see my work.
The Taichung Green Museumbrary has officially opened. This innovative complex unites the Taichung Art Museum and the Taichung Public Library, bringing exhibitions, reading, and public cultural programs together in one building.
Lai Yi-hsin
Taichung Art Museum director
The Taichung Green Museumbrary is located on the north side of Central Park. The “Green” refers to the greenery of the park, and in a broader sense, to the environment and the city itself. “Art” represents the art museum, while “Library” represents the public library. The Green Museumbrary is a venue that brings these three elements together. For the opening exhibition of the Taichung Art Museum, we drew inspiration through the relationship between people and the natural environment, as well as the transformation of Central Park, which was once the Shuinan Airport before becoming a park. From the perspective of this new institution, we hope to re-imagine the relationship between a museum, its environment, and all living things.
The exhibition will be held at the Taichung Art Museum until April 12.

結合圖書館與美術館 台中綠美圖盛大開幕
2025-12-18
結合台中市立美術館，以及台中市立圖書館的「台中綠美圖」正式開館，成為台灣全新的文化地標與獨特的空間。
台中美術館的開幕展匯集了來自20個國家的70多位藝術家。參展藝術家之一是比利時藝術家阿德里安．提爾提奧，他以大型裝置藝術而聞名。這件名為"後博物館證據（探鑽）"的作品高達25米，貫穿美術館一層及兩個展間。作品使用了建築本身的材料。
[[比利時藝術家 阿德里安．提爾提奧]]
"它就像一個巨大的鑽頭，高達25米，貫穿整個博物館。你可以分成三個部分來探索它，就像三個章節。你從底層開始，然後進入第一個展廳，再到下一個。在每個展廳裡，沿著這條“鑽頭”，你會發現不同的地質層。在這裡，你可以看到柱子的底部，以及我們腳下所有的土層和岩層。你越往上走，就會發現我使用了博物館建造時使用的材料。所以，從地面開始，你會看到瀝青和道路碎片，它們與這座公園作為機場的歷史相呼應。你還會看到混凝土、鋼材和網格。我開始利用我在這裡找到的所有東西，基本上是所有的廢棄物，包括垃圾，來建造我的雕塑，講述博物館之後的生活故事。"
另一件作品是梁慧圭於挑高 27公尺大廳，打造在台首件製作大型懸吊作品"流動奉獻–樹蔭三合"。透過運用垂直LED燈和點狀雷射燈，參觀者可以在一天中的不同時段體驗到不斷變化的視角和光影圖案。

"這件作品名為"流動奉獻–樹蔭三合"。標題很長，我總是喜歡取很長的標題，但這個標題其實蘊含了許多關於作品的資訊。「流動」意味著流動的事物，「祭祀」則意味著祈禱和願望。這件作品高達27米，被裝在一個獨立的盒子裡。我想這算是我這次創作的突破。第二個突破是，我的作品之前從未在如此動態的燈光環境下展出過，也就是說，這件作品有兩種不同的外觀：白天和夜晚。為了設計夜晚的視覺效果，我們在燈光上下了很多功夫。我們用了兩種我從未用過的燈光。一種是造型優美的弧形LED燈管，另一種是不斷移動的綠色點狀燈光，營造出夜晚森林中邂逅螢火蟲的奇妙感覺。這兩道燈光共同打造了夜幕降臨後的氛圍。”
另一大亮點是台灣藝術家林明弘的作品《再製》。這件裝置作品將博物館的玻璃屋頂變成了一幅色彩鮮豔的彩繪表面，靈感來自機械印刷工藝。

"它的設計靈感來自機械印刷工藝，也就是工業印刷。印刷過程中我們常忽略的環節是它所產生的廢棄物。因為我曾參與過印刷工作，所以我意識到它會產生大量的廢料。我開始收集這些廢料，然後思考如何將它們重新融入作品中。這就是我在這裡大規模實踐的理念。如您所知，這個建築群由博物館和圖書館組成。我們現在所在的這座空中連廊是您唯一可以看到我作品的地方。"
台中市立美術館正式開放，將台中美術館和台中市立圖書館合而為一，在一棟建築內匯集了展覽、閱讀和公共文化活動。
[[台中綠美圖館長 賴依欣]]
“台中綠美圖 落在中央公園的北側，綠其實是公園綠意，結合到更大的面相當然是環境跟這座城市；美是美術館；圖是圖書館。綠美圖是這三個元素結合在一起的場館。台中市立美術館我們在開幕展的時候，就是用這樣的人跟自然的環境，以及中央公園以前是水湳機場後來變成公園。我們希望從新興館舍的角度，重新來思考一座美術館跟環境跟萬物之間的關係。”
展覽將在台中市立美術館展出至4月12日。
