ByFreeing the life from the illegal spirit on the wall: From Paris to New Delhi, the first graffiti artist C215 in India
ByBefore I knew C215, I thought that graffiti is a kind of damage to the urban beauty. After I knew C215, I started to search for graffiti that might be left on the trash can, brick wall, and lift door on the way to and from work. Imagine the graffiti brain. The rebellion in the middle, the cry of social injustice, every thick line and the point of fainting, is like the exclamation point of the loudest volume. C215 is called Christian Guemy. Just like TAKI 183, JULIO 204, FRANK 207, these famous graffiti take the pseudonym of the street number. Among them, TAKI183 is the first graffiti artist. Christian Guemy thinks the number is like a prisoner number, symbolizing graffiti. The illegal spirit of art and rebellion. For him, life is sometimes like a prison, we are just a nameless pawn. In the face of such illegal artistic behavior, why did C215 choose to disclose its real name? "When you paint on a train, public building or a blank wall, you will certainly want to protect yourself. But for me, I try to paint beautiful things. These art can be understood. I don't think I The process of creation is very savage. On the contrary, it reflects the good life in the local area.” He likes to paint in each city. The favorite city is “the next city”, from lifestyle, cultural uniqueness, architecture and even law. In the city in his eyes, through the "experimental creation" graffiti on the wall, and thus get the experience of new things, spending a lot of airfare and travel graffiti is very worthwhile for the C215. Wandering on the edge of contemporary art may be more conservative. From the 1990s when Indian contemporary art emerged in the world market, no artist chose to create on the wall until C215 came from Paris and became the first in India. Created by graffiti artists. Like the early death of the Indian female painter Amrita Sher-Gil, the $1.5 million high-priced "Village" and the $1.36 million deal with Francis Newton Souza's "Men and Women" are full of Indian culture; C215's graffiti art Every pair of eyes, some from the market hawkers, some passing girls, even the local goats and cats become his material; his art is "unexpected art", everyone can touch, also India The beauty of New Delhi is pushed to the world by the eyes of photographers and the pens of writers. Unlike the twisted words in New York, canned paints have been available everywhere since the early 1970s, and New York’s brick walls from the subway cars to the platforms and toilets are filled with the vivid colors painted by graffiti; these are Painting the site is also a rebellion. Nowadays, with the development of graffiti art, the simple twisting of text has more effects such as 3D and bubbles. Even with some paintings, it is still mainly text. The C215 from France is dominated by "characters". There is no violent factor. It is only from the eyes of the people in the painting, those uneasiness, loneliness, defense or innocence. This is the way he uses to write humanities; He began to extensively explore language, art history and history, so he could portray the expression of the characters so deeply. ...

ByBased on paper culture, the unknown and future of catalytic fiber: the experimental paper shop of the Tree Fire Paper Museum, "Fengjia Catalyst Room FENKO"
ByStealing on Chang'an Road in Taipei, the 23-year-old Tree Fire Memorial Paper Museum focuses on the birth of the "Fengjia Catalyst Room FENKO" in the spirit of experimental innovation. Feng Jiao is actually the other half of the tree fire. It is adjacent to the Tree Fire Paper Museum and is only 3 steps away from the Fengjiao Catalysis Room. Originally the paper factory's Fengjiao catalytic chamber space, in addition to retaining the original knowledge of paper materials, it is the first catalytic platform in Taiwan with paper and natural materials as the main axis. Some people may want to ask: "Why do you have to challenge yourself and establish a brand new brand?" The answer is that the team found that paper still has a lot of development, but there are not many people who know it. Therefore, through FENKO to create a platform for paper and natural material communication and experimentation, deconstruct the public's past imagination of natural materials, contact with more creative ideas, and even in the cross-border cooperation with creative people, a new concept. From paper labs to natural material catalytic chambers, from paper exploration to moss and iron cross-border catalysis, paper and natural materials experiments, curation and space leasing are the core of FENKO in the future. Space design is based on this function, catalysis Developed three spaces: catalytic chamber, moss chamber and hidden chamber. Rough and bare red brick walls reflect the delicate and delicate "Frame de Frame" (FdF), which is like a new wave of fireworks. Under the concept of "relics", the new generation of architects Hong Haozhen, with the concept of "relics", left the red brick wall that was originally buried under the wood decoration, and reflected it in the light, showing the history of the past hidden in the core of the building for more than 30 years. In the past, he worked for three years in the studio of the British ghost architect Thomas Heatherwick. He was influenced by Hezevik and the architectural poet Peter Zumthor, and the galvanized metal steel that was almost melted into the space by lightness The frame, such as the rainbow color, has a faint change with different angles, showing the materials and crafts that Fengjiao pays attention to, creating a moving atmosphere. Cross-border experiments on paper, extending from the plane to the space FENKO will continue to explore the unknown, retain professional consultation on art paper, handmade paper, repair paper, and provide "customized paper making services" and various cross-border experiments. Like the past tree fire at the Venice Biennale in 2017, the "unexpected beauty" with the artist Li Mingwei, will be 4,000 pieces of envelopes and stationery materials bearing the beauty of the experience, as well as Yunmen "Crazy Grass" dance up to 7 meters long, 1.3 ...
Use the soul of art and art to guard the outline of the old building: the modern transformation of old churches, factories and hospitals, and the artistic space of 8 European old bottles and new wines.
ByAmong various types of construction projects, building renovation projects always give us the most curiosity. There are more and more such transformation projects around the world, such as the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art, which was originally transformed from the Nanshi Power Plant. Among them, art space is one of the most common types of old building renovation, and it is usually the most anticipated, because the art exhibition has very high requirements on space - light, fluidity and variability, all of which are indispensable. From the former slaughterhouse to the ice rink, the following eight European old buildings have been transformed into artistic spaces; in addition to the forward-looking design concept, the most valuable thing is the architect’s height of the original architecture and history. Respect and carefully protect the soul of the building. KÖNIG GALERIE|Berlin, Germany|Predecessor: Church KÖNIG GALERIE is hidden in a small street in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin and was converted from a church. The church was built in 1967 and is a representative of the Fauvism style. In 2011, it was purchased by Berlin's famous gallery and art dealer Johann König, and local architect Arno Brandlhuber was invited to remodel this behemoth without windows and concrete structures. The modified KÖNIG GALERIE has a rough and original appearance, but the inner space is very calm and soft; the light penetrates slowly from the skylights and the wall gap, making it ideal for displaying artworks. ?Alexandrinenstraße 118, 10969 Berlin, Germany ARQUIPELAGO|São Miguel Island, Portugal | Predecessor: Factory Located on the island of Ia de S.
