New Friends

Date:2023-04-15 ~ 2023-10-22
Venue: The Pavilion, New Taipei City Art Museum

The “New Friends” exhibition symbolizes the birth of the New Taipei City Art Museum and a new local cultural community. Through the newly developed immersive interactive game ID and the six family-friendly installations co-created by seven artists, we invite the public to make new friends through games and experiences, and to create a new model for micro-communities in the digital era.

“New Friends” is a participatory art exhibition initiated for the opening of New Taipei City Art Museum. It symbolizes that the museum will become a new local cultural community and creates an experience both entertaining and educational for its participants.

The immersive gaming device ID located in the R1 exhibition room of the dome art space helps to develop cognitive spatial coordination and improves logical thinking skills. Also, it reinforces the idea of community development and collaborative growth as family and friends can play and create together. It attracts an audience of all ages to take part in the growth of the New Taipei City Art Museum.

The experiential creation series, distributed amongst the R2 and R5 exhibition rooms of the dome art space and the outdoor plaza, are jointly built by seven artists, including Chang Huei-Ming, Chen Yun-Ju, Cheng Yi-Wen, Chiang Chung-Lun, Liao Chi-Yu, Liao Chien-Chung and Zoe-Fu. Combined with scenarios and installations that allow the participants to experience with all five senses, the series revolves around the exhibition theme “New Friends”, encouraging the public to interact and participate through their senses, thoughts and actions.

By creating a micro-community model in the digital era, we expect the public to recognize the multiple metaphors about technology, humanity, nature and more in this art exhibition, and hope that they can develop their own answers through the collaboration process.

新朋友

日期:2023-04-15 ~ 2023-10-22
地點:新北市美術館 圓頂藝術空間

「新朋友」展覽象徵著新北市美術館與地方新文化聚落的誕生,透過新開發的〈ID〉沈浸式互動遊戲,以及七位藝術家帶來的共創式親子同遊藝術作品,邀請民眾在遊戲與體驗中結交新朋友,一同在數位時代創造出微型社群的新模型。

「新朋友」是新北市美術館為迎接園區開放所啟動的參與式藝術行動,象徵美術館將成為在地的新文化聚落,亦為觀眾創造一種寓教於樂的體驗過程。

位於圓頂藝術空間R1展間的沉浸式遊戲裝置〈ID〉除了具有培養空間認知協調和處境認同邏輯的能力之外,更在親子同遊、夥伴共創的過程中植入社群養成、協力成長的概念,為即將到來的新北市美術館募集全齡觀眾社群,共同參與美術館的成長。

分布於圓頂藝術空間R2至R5展間以及戶外廣場的體驗式創作系列,由廖建忠、江忠倫、鄭伊雯、陳韻如、符曉柔、廖祈羽以及張暉明等七位藝術家共同建置,環繞著「新朋友」的展覽命題,結合著五感體驗的情境設定和藝術裝置,鼓勵民眾透過感官、思考和行動之互動參與。
我們期待這個藝術行動能在數位時代中,藉由打造一個微型社群模型,讓觀眾意識到關於科技、人⽂、自然等議題的多元隱喻,並在攜手共創的過程中,發展出屬於自己的答案。

策展人:黃彥穎
