作品名稱:《□城市鄰居》 年份:2017 材質:LED、數位輸出 尺寸:340 x 3400 公分 設置位置:機場捷運線A3站 新北產業園區站外弧形牆面 作品說明: 影像素材取自藝術家實地遊訪之各國城市──東京、紐約、香港。賴珮瑜將這些國際型都市景窗,拉遠置入觀景視角,並在其中植入台北城景意象,在創作的宇宙中與各大城市比鄰而居,創造無疆無界,恆常相鄰的全球同步國際觀,如同機場捷運承載四方旅客,一同遊歷台灣。當城市中常見的高樓景貌,轉譯為藝術家的創作語彙,景窗化整為一個個鮮豔原色的「□」符碼之際,讓我們在看見另一種全球化時代的共通語言型態之餘,更開啟了一場旅人對城市空間再閱讀的心境旅程。 賴珮瑜所創造的巨型都市景觀,除了象徵高速交通網絡系統與城市發展的高度連結之外,也呼應了此次公共藝術計畫其中的「全球化」議題,藉由藝術家的創作之手,全球各大國際城市在此匯結,交會一處屬於城市鄰居的共享之地。而選擇將作品設置於臨街的站外弧形牆面,一方面是為了讓這件訴說「鄰居之情」的作品,能在真實處境中實踐「和睦鄰里」的美意,另一方面也期望透過外展的落地大弧面,放大作品尺幅,擴大其「可視性」與「規模度」,讓行經此地的每位旅人與鄰人均可近身與藝術相遇。 管理維護單位:桃園大眾捷運股份有限公司 |

Title: □City Neighbors Year: 2017 Medium: LED、Digital print Dimensions: 340 x 3400 cm Location: New Taipei Industrial Park Station Arc Wall outside the Station Artist’s Interpretation: The contents included in this artwork are taken from the artist Pei-Yu Lai’s visits of different cities, with window views from international cosmopolitans such as Tokyo, New York, and Hong Kong incorporated with city views of Taipei. As these big cities become neighbors in this universe of art, a globalized borderless international view is created, which is symbolic of the transit system transporting and welcoming travelers from all over the globe as they come to visit Taiwan. Common city skyscrapers are transcribed by the artist into abstract icons in the shape of “□”. Presented in a collective language in this globalized era, an internal journey of the mind is also embarked upon through these urban spaces. In addition to symbolizing the high-level of connectivity between a city’s urban development and its high-speed transportation network system, the large-scale urban landscape created by Pei-Yu Lai also echoes with one of the overarching themes of this public art project – globalization. Through the artist’s gesture, different global metropolises are gathered together here, with the integration turned into a shared space for these urban neighbors. The location of the artwork, on the curved wall positioned by the street, also conveys the notion of “neighborly connection”, anticipating for the amicable thought of forming a friendly neighborhood to be realized in the real world. On the other hand, by installing the artwork on the large arc wall facing outwards, the grand-scale of the artwork also enhances its visibility, allowing more travelers and passersby to come into close conection with art.
