2007

接觸自然可以有一百種不同的方法:你可以徜徉山林步道,品嘗清新健康的芬多精;可以揮汗如雨的在自家花園裡勞動,近觀泥土孕育出的富饒生命;可以探索野地池邊,尋覓活潑的蟲魚鳥獸…。現在,你還可以透過藝術作品來玩耍自然。

「藝術」與「自然」對你我而言都不算是陌生的名詞,但它們到底是什麼,卻沒幾個人說的上來。藉著來自全球各地自然裝置藝術家的創意揮灑,2007年的「第二屆關渡國際自然裝置藝術節」將「藝術」與「自然」揉合,以簡單而深刻的方式讓大眾親近藝術、玩耍自然,帶領人們走進「藝術」的感性殿堂和「自然」的知性象牙塔中。

裝置藝術作品與風景地貌的完美結合,不但提供人們發現探索的驚喜樂趣,更成為人類與自然間的橋樑。觀者眼見作品隨著時序不斷變化,最後回歸大地的過程,對於自然營力運轉的奧妙,以及藝術家的巧妙創意必定讚嘆不已。

“2007 Guandu International Outdoor Sculpture Festival” features activities and outdoor exhibitions on natural ecology and artistic works in the Guandu Nature Park. By using natural materials available in the park, natural outdoor sculptural works are created to blend with the natural environment and to act as a medium for people’s communication with the nature. During six months being showcased in the Guandu Nature Park, these sculptural works will be subject to the influence of several factors: time, weather, creatures and people. They will gradually undergo transformation until they finally return to the earth. During the artists’ on-site involvement, the Guandu Nature Park is open to the public for participation, in the hopes that the public can experience the fun of the nature, and then value the wetland.
