2015綠圈圈藝術季
2015 Green Ripple Innovation Arts Festival
— Overview
「2015綠圈圈-當我們童在一起」是當年夏天由勤美璞真文化藝術基金會主辦的臺中草悟道街區藝術季。展覽以「找回赤子之心與想像力」為核心，將整座街區打造成一座打破藩籬的無牆美術館。本屆最大亮點在於結合了「大人日常」與「童年夢想」的創意裝置。在勤美術館中，最受矚目的「我們是辦公室賽車手」賽車場，特別選用上班族熟悉的「辦公滑輪椅」改裝成賽車，讓民眾用雙腳滑行競速，並設有險升坡、落石區與黑暗隧道等重重關卡，象徵在充滿壓力的職場中仍要勇敢破風前行。而同樣位於展區的「天才小畫家」裝置，則以巨大的彩色顏料罐和從天而降、彷彿正在傾倒流瀉的繽紛顏料為視覺焦點，搭配「真人實境大富翁」的紅綠幾何小屋與超大版彈弓，將整個空間變成了充满色彩與生命力的魔幻畫布。
"2015 Green Ripple Innovation Arts Festival - When We Child Together" was a neighborhood arts festival held along Taichung's Calligraphy Greenway during that summer, organized by the CMP Pujen Cultural Foundation. Centered on the core theme of "rediscovering your inner child and imagination," the exhibition transformed the entire neighborhood into a boundary-breaking museum without walls.
The biggest highlight of this edition lay in the creative installations that fused "adult daily life" with "childhood dreams." Within the CMP Block Museum of Arts, the highly anticipated "We Are Office Racers" track specially utilized the "swivel office chairs" familiar to salarymen and converted them into race cars. It allowed the public to glide and race using their feet, while navigating a series of obstacles including steep slopes, rockfall zones, and dark tunnels, symbolizing the courage to break through the wind and forge ahead amidst a stressful workplace environment.
Meanwhile, the "Little Genius Painter" installation located in the same exhibition area served as a visual centerpiece, featuring giant colorful paint cans and vibrant paint falling from the sky as if pouring and cascading down. Paired with the red and green geometric cottages from the "Live-Action Monopoly" and a massive slingshot, it seamlessly transfigured the entire space into a magical canvas bursting with color and vitality.
