延續上一檔展覽《一半》的概念,在老屋整修保存的過程中作為一種語意,從中挖掘新與舊的關係,將原本構築著整個空間的物件轉變為展演的物件,意圖讓空間中新與舊的「精神」與「材料」延續共存,使之間的視覺相互拉扯,形成一種共存、衝突與平衡。
舊建築的精神化作「金色」的力量,賦予在老屋的新舊組件中,展演物件如建築圖般精確的線條,將原本複雜的建築結構與組件簡化、切割,並組構成新的「一半」三維空間。整修的建築過程猶如城鎮的縮影,它所散發的金色光芒,更是居民與土地互助,以及新的能量注入相互碰撞結合的精神象徵;同時,也企圖追問「老屋新存」的意義,在時空的軸線裡它的過去、現在與未來中持續運作與發酵。

This exhibition is the extension of previous exhibition, Half, to continue discovering the relationship between new and old. The old house used to be the location of First Bank which had undergone several renovation after First Bank moved out. In accordance with the uses of the following property owners, the old structure was completely covered with recent interior design. Through this project, the old house underwent another maintenance which eradicates partial modern interior design to present the beauty of the old house. The artists attempt to balance new and old, preserve the traditional material while extending the old spirit into something new. In this exhibition, the artists transfer the old structure of the house into exhibition objects. When both new and old co-exist, it might form a visual conflict which eventually leads to a harmonious atmosphere in this space.
In this exhibition, the golden lines resemble the spirit of old architecture, empowering the old house. Besides, the golden lines also delineate the structure of the house, simplifying, dividing and constructing a new “half” 3-dimensioal space. The whole process of renovation and maintenance of the house also characterizes the evolution of Yanshui town. When the new energy, such as modern facilities or artwork, enters the town, the new collides with tradition, but empowering this ancient town. Meanwhile, we hope to cause viewers to consider what the meaning and new purpose of the old house are. By this, the importance of our traditional house continues to ferment.
