《TCAC未來式：單元、動詞變化與論述性產製品》以「機構設計」為方法，演示藝術機構從基本功能需求到其公眾性角色任務之間，台北當代藝術中心（TCAC）同時作為論述行動的生產空間和文化溝通的媒介，其生產動態如何被計劃、前置與描繪。從設計內部系統出發，將設計作為TCAC過去近六年的自我檢視的方法；亦對當代藝術工作面臨新的協作情境進行試探，重新思議TCAC的公共性。
本計劃面對機構設計中的「具體的不定性」（註），亦是結構開放與開放性論述之不確定性的設計的提問，將傢俱/功能性物件「機構雕塑」設計視為TCAC的論述性產製品，讓生產工具、界面、其原型及自我變形展示自身，形成一個話語與辯論的空間，展現一個藝術機構生產性與物質性的主張與其展示概念的對照關係，檢視其中盤結之知識文化生產和社會性表述的政治性。

Participating Project : TCAC in the Future Tense: Unit, Conjugation and Discursive Artefacts
Date/ August 13, 2016 – February 5, 2017
Venue/ Taipei Fine Art Museum 3F
TCAC in the Future Tense: Unit, Conjugation and Discursive Artefacts examines how an institution can perform the role between its functions and its purpose of being a public platform through ‘institutional design’. The design concept explores how the Taipei Contemporary Art Center (TCAC) acts as a production house of discourse and as a medium of cultural communication to create and depict its own production line. Through the filter of interior design, it looks at TCAC’s institutional history with various approaches of proposals and productions in the recent six years, in order to investigate how TCAC deals with new collaborative circumstances that negotiate its own public nature.
This project discusses ‘Specific Indeterminacy’ within institutional design by asking how to ‘design for uncertainty’, to aid open structures and open discourse. As objects, endowed with both functionality and ambiguity, the furniture displayed is to be seen as discursive artefacts, turning the TCAC into an ‘institutional sculpture’. Through these tools of production, facilitating media and its original and transform models, it opens up the notion of display as a dialectical sphere.
Creating relationships between the materiality of institutional production and conceptual aspects, the project investigates the intertwining of cultural production and knowledge production – and the politics of social formation.
Project participants: Oliver Klimpel (designer), Fang Yen Hsiang (curator)
