貧窮藝術在資本怪獸中復活

這是任何一個代謝派未來都市可能發展的進程，我們正處於一個被垃圾包圍的時代。任何東西的製造與生產都是為了被拋棄。

從年拋、季拋、月拋、周拋到日拋。一次性使用，百分百回收到我們看不見的地方。可拋棄的愛情、可拋棄的衣服、可拋棄的房子、可拋棄的家具、可拋棄的城鎮、可拋棄的街道、可拋棄的公園，可拋棄的森林，可拋棄的建築，可拋棄的知識，可拋棄的訊息，可拋棄的藝術，可拋棄的島嶼，可拋棄的記憶。

義大利藝術評論家切蘭（Germano Celant）於1967年提出「貧窮藝術」這個概念。以撿拾廢舊品和日常材料作為表現媒介，用最廉價、最樸素的廢棄材料——樹枝、金屬、玻璃、織布、石頭等進行藝術創作。 波蘭大師葛羅托斯基（Jerzy Grotowski）也曾提出「貧窮劇場」與「藝乘」（art as vehicle)概念，在展場我們將用作品代替演員，再現劇場精神，展覽以劇場形式呈現，從序曲、第一幕到第三幕分別由塑膠袋、舊報紙等製作的雲朵來傳遞從天而降的聲音，垂掛下來的耳機象徵著根。而藝術將載著人類到達何方？終曲是尚未獲得解答的問號。

所謂的「貧窮」指涉的正如所有斷章取義、拋棄式的各種理論、論述與主義，與義大利、波蘭大師提出的概念並無必然關係。藝術的貧窮化反映著我們思想的貧窮化。這是個最富裕的時代。也是個最貧窮的時代。我們什麼都不缺，但我們什麼都沒有。

對於這些被拋棄的，被更新的，被再生的，我們將邀請各保存運動或自救會團體一起進行一個大型蒐集消失門牌、路牌等各種記憶物件計劃，從每座建築墳場裡挖掘出，並為它們獻花超渡。

Arte Povera  Resurrected from Capitalist Monsters 

This is a possible process for future development of a metabolic city. We are in an era surrounded by garbage. Manufacturing and production of anything is to be abandoned.

From annual disposable, to seasonal disposable, to monthly disposable, to weekly disposable, to daily disposable. Single-use. Out of sight. Out of mind. Disposable love, disposable clothes, disposable houses, disposable furniture, disposable towns, disposable streets, disposable parks , disposable forests, disposable architecture, disposable knowledge, disposable messages, disposable art, disposable islands, and disposable memory.

Italian art critic Germano Celant proposed the concept of "Arte Povera"  in 1967. To pick up waste and everyday materials as the media, the artists created with the cheapest and the most simple waste materials-- twigs, metal, glass, fabric, and stones. Polish theater director Jerzy Grotowski have raised the concept "poor theater" and "art as vehicle." In the exhibition, we will replace actors with works, reconstructing the spirit of the theater. The exhibition is presented in the form of theater, from Overture, Act I to Act III, respectively using clouds made by plastic bags, old newspapers, etc. to convey the voice of heaven. The earphones hanging down symbolize roots. Where will art take humans? Finale is an unanswered question.

The so-called "poor," like all the referential contexts, various disposable theories, discourses and doctrines, does not necessarily have anything to do with the concepts Italian and Polish masters proposed. Impoverishment of art reflects the poverty of our thoughts. This is the most prosperous era and also the poorest of all eras. We lack nothing, but we possess nothing.

For those being abandoned, recycled, and regenerated, we will invite the self-help groups of preservation movement to participate in the project of collecting disappearing address and road signs and other memory objects. We will resurrect them from the architecture cemetery and decorate them with flowers.
