請追蹤 2020卦山力藝術祭FB 與TCAC FB 與 IG 。
TCAC 十週年系列活動《暫態響應》，〈串擾〉單元將由TCAC的策展人游擊至不同單位工作與棲息。第一回合由 TCAC 策展人蕭伯均離開台北回到家鄉，從自己生長的土地重新省視，與故里對話，尋找未來的可能性。2020卦山力藝術祭是由彰化Instant42舉辦為期兩個月的紀錄劇場X藝術展演X服裝秀X音樂X市集X野餐的活動串連，將於9月12號開幕。詳細活動資訊請參考 FB @baguashanpowerartfestival 。
TCAC十週年 | 暫態響應
在電子工程學中，暫態響應指極短時間內系統離開穩定狀態發生的變化。與系統相關的事件都將影響這個效應，系統也終將回歸平衡。十年前，台北當代藝術中心（TCAC）從一個台北雙年展的作品開始，在眾多藝術家、策展人、學者、文化實踐者致力共同合作之下正式成立。TCAC是台北與台灣藝術生態系統中的一起事件，可被視為一個驅動質變的力量。時間的長與短取決於觀察者的尺度，有的時候，十年即是一瞬。2020年，這個全球局勢因為疫情而產生劇烈變動時刻，TCAC 將以一系列（非）生產性的計畫，回顧過去，同時試圖理解與建構這個新現實。
〈串擾〉單元是一個不定期的 TCAC 游擊計畫，TCAC 的策展人將出擊到不同的微型機構，包括台北以外的地區。我們選擇的地點或許未冠上「藝術中心」的名稱，卻實踐著我們心目中的「藝術中心」。作為 TCAC 成立十週年任職內部的策展人，我們又是怎麼思考十年前在〈一個當代藝術中心，台北（提案）〉 所扣問的：一個台北當代藝術中心應該是？可以是？能夠是？

The Tenth Anniversary of TCAC | Transient Response
In electronic engineering, transient response refers to the temporary change that happens within a short period of time after a system leaves its steady state. All affiliated events affect responses, and the system eventually returns to a steady state again. Ten years ago, Taipei Contemporary Art Center (TCAC) began as an artwork in Taipei Biennale and was then officially founded with enormous efforts by many artists, curators, scholars and cultural practitioners.
The inception of TCAC could be viewed as one of the events in Taipei and in Taiwan, that marked a strand of force for change in the art system. Ten years sometimes could be seen as a short period of time. Time is relative and depends on the perspective of an observer. In 2020, a time of drastic change, marked by pandemics, TCAC will launch a series of (un)productive programs to reflect the past and also to comprehend and construct a new reality.
Crosstalk is a series of sporadic migratory projects. The curators of TCAC will go to different institutions to work and inhabit, including those outside Taipei. The institutions we choose might not have “art center” in the name, but their programs produce and realize what we thought of an art center. Working as curators in TCAC with its 10-year-long history, how do we now answer the questions raised in A Contemporary Art Center in Taipei (a proposal)? A contemporary art center is ______, should _______, could ________, would ________.
