巴來訪是阿美族語「歡迎做客,誠心款待」之意,本空間作品藉著花蓮閒暇、觀光、流放的生活印象,表現藝術創作在東部自得其樂、似有若無、隨意理解的魅力,以及不想怎麼樣的創作態度,我們認為這樣卻是藝術最原初的真實狀態,值得在狂亂的時代提出,歡迎來會場做客。
東部花蓮,被遺忘的島嶼邊緣,地方公部門所搞的藝術早已被各類石頭給綁架了,偶而中央級的評審委員一時想起:「啊!給東部一個機會吧!」或是「要顧及城鄉平衡吧!」這時候才有一點事做,但是這些都無法燃燒創作的熱情。其實花蓮藝術創作者一點也不在意現況的反智傾向,也因如此,久了便失去空間版圖、論述地位、經費資源,與世界脫節,變成完全的個人。
花蓮幾位藝術工作者有自己直接與當代藝術接軌的方式,其中與英國Triangle Arts Trust結盟,發展出來的國際創作營,影響頗大,在荒地裡形成一個奇特的景象,好像章魚長在樹上、石頭伸出翅膀飛了起來。從2003年至今五屆創作營,用極少的經費,邀請世界24個國家54位外國藝術家,65位國內藝術家參與,過程中,創作的爆發力不可思議…。
沒有藝術政策的東部卻有藝術的真實,我們不禁要大聲說:任何地方都有大地與世界、自由與文明。(文/潘小雪)

“PalaFang” is Amis for “Guests should be wholeheartedly welcomed and looked after.” This spatial work utilizes images of Hualien as a place of rest, relaxation and tourism, to express the joy derived from art in Eastern Taiwan. We believe that this casually understood appeal and less ambition-oriented creative approach reflects the original truth of art, which in an era of confusion and chaos offers a simple welcome to its guests.
Hualien is located in the East of Taiwan on the oft forgotten perimeter of the island and as a result, artistic projects promoted by the government often fall on stony ground. Occasionally, when central government appraisers think to themselves: “Let’s give the East a chance” or “there must be balance between urban and rural development,” although some things gets done, this does little to ignite the creative passions. In fact, artists in Hualien have little interest in the current anti-intellectual trend. Unfortunately, this has meant that over time they have lost control of their own space, critical position and funding. Their detachment from the wider world has eventually made them become more self-enclosed and individualistic.
Furthermore several artists in Hualien have their own direct way of connecting to the world of contemporary art. Some have formed an alliance with Britain’s “Triangle Arts Trust” and the International Creativity Camp they established has had much influence, creating a special landscape against barren backdrop. The group’s success was as expected as an octopus in a tree or a rock sprouting wings and flying away.
From 2003 to the present there have been five Creativity Camps that have spent surprisingly little while managing to invite 54 foreign artists from 24 counties and 65 local artists to take part. The sheer explosion of creativity these camps have facilitated has been truly amazing.
Although Eastern Taiwan does not have its own art policy, it is nevertheless home to a great deal of interesting art. A situation that prompts us to say that nature and the world, freedom and civilization are to be found everywhere on this planet. (Text by PAN Sheau-shei. Translated by Andrew Wilson)
