獲獎記錄｜WINNING AWARDS
2010年某日，設計者在台北路邊騎樓躲雨，抬頭看著一棟白色建築，立面留著一條條灰褐色雨痕，混雜泥沙、灰塵與皮屑的痕跡。設計者心想：若建築是灰色的，痕跡就不明顯了吧？那一刻設計者領悟了主觀：站在都市角度，希望白建築永保潔淨，雨痕只是污點；但如果主角是水滴，那它留下的痕跡就是它的全部。也許這就是藝廊該有的樣子，它是中性的，沒有語彙的；展覽空間之於藝術家，如同畫布之於顏料。
One day in 2010, the designer was sheltering from the rain under an arcade on a Taipei street when he looked up at a white building. Its facade was streaked with grayish-brown raindrops, a mixture of mud, dust, and dander. He thought: if the building were gray, wouldn't the streaks be less noticeable? At that moment, he realized subjectivity: from an urban perspective, only white buildings are preferable and raindrops are merely stains; however, from the perspective of the raindrop, the trajectories it leaves presents its existence. Perhaps this is what an art gallery should be like, neutral, devoid of language.
