土炮遊樂場開鑼啦!
我們在2017年5月至6月期間策劃了一項以遊樂場為主題的參與式創作,與前期的6個藝術團體花大半年時間籌備,希望以「玩」的概念連結起社區與居民。我們利用回收所得的廢物,製作成新奇有趣的遊樂設施,並以遊戲和參與藝術實踐的方式,將牛棚藝術村化身為開放式的「土炮遊樂場」!
遊樂場空間分為兩部分:玩具打造區和遊樂場。參加者可以來享用藝術團體設計的遊樂設施,也可以到玩具打造區,利用環保物料,製作有趣的玩具,增添遊樂場的玩具。活動讓參加者運用想像力回應不同的物料應用和創作遊戲經驗,並鼓勵和其他參加者合作,以遊戲帶出互動及手作(Maker)的氣氛。
After a half year of field research and preparation with 6 groups of artists, a participatory art event in the theme of “playground” was organised in the Cattle Depot Artist Village from May to June 2017. The event aimed to connect residents and members of community groups through the concept of “play,” in which different types of waste materials collected from the community were used to create innovative games and objects for play. Through games and participatory activities, we worked together with the participants to transform the Cattle Depot into a public playground for all.
The space was divided into 2 parts: a maker space and play space. In the play space, Participants were free to play with the installations set up by the artist groups. In the maker space, participants were tasked to use the recycled materials to create their own objects for play. The event enabled participants to use their imagination to explore different applications of materials and create their play experience. It also encouraged them to collaborate with each other and use games to create interactive ambience of playing and making.
