論壇提綱
此次論壇邀請俱有駐村經驗的策展人們以「策展人駐村」作為切入點，進而討論當代駐村型式的概念及其可能的想像。研討主軸著重於揚棄「要求進駐者創作、展演」、「設置工作室」等的古典駐村概念，探討非傳統定點式且強調成果發表的駐村，而其過程中的核心價值是否應明確定義駐村經驗中所產值而出的「實踐過程」而非「作品成果」（“process” not “product”）？作為一位策展人而非創作生產者（如藝術家），其駐村的過程終將產值出的「深厚文本」又可以是何種想像？

在當代藝術的觀念脈絡中，每一位「獨立策展人」本身就是一個移動性的、自主性的且獨立作業性的一人機構（one person institute），其所具有的臨時與流動特質，反映於自身機制上的高度彈性，並依工作所需進行著橫向組織與縱向連結的調度。策展人除了高度仰賴不同平台以作策展實踐之外，亦需要不定期的延伸其駐點，以致增加其研究面向的廣度與深度。「駐村」經驗之于策展人，是一種處於實務建立系統之外的自發性研習，過程中的藝術村機構也許依其研究的方向提供資源，而駐村過程除了激發策展人主動連結的能力，亦豐富其國際脈絡與建立多元藝術社群，而其長期關注的特定當代議題亦更將聚焦且反饋於自身策展研究的脈絡中。

本論壇由台北當代藝術中心與竹圍工作室合辦，並為竹圍工作室所發起作為當代駐村相關研討的系列論壇之一。

Topic
Contemporary Curatorial Residency Program in Contemporary Art

Host by Bamboo Curtain Studio
Co-Host with Taipei Contemporary Art Center
Sponsor National Culture and Arts Foundation
Panelists Meiya Cheng, Wu Dar-Kuen, Nobuo Takamori, Wu Shang Lin, Margaret Shiu participating the panel discussion

Summery
In this conference, we invite curators, with real residency experiences, to share and discuss about the concept of contemporary residency program and its prospect, from the perspective of “curatorial residency program.”

The conference aims to denounce from the traditional thinking of“artist inresidency”, such as, requiring residency artists to produce and present the result, or, set up a studio. To depart from the traditional “result-oriented” residency, Shouldn’t the core value of “artist-in-residency program (AIR),” especially in nontraditional project based AIR program, be clarified that the “out-put value” of AIR experience is the “process” instead the actual “product.”As a curator, not anart creative producer - such as an artist, how can thecuratorial residency experience be presented in other imaginary ways instead of a “thick and voluminous paper”?

In the concept of contemporary arts, eachindependent curatoris a “one-person institute”that operates independently with mobility and autonomy. Theability to circulate freely and provisionallyare reflected by the enormous flexibility which allow operations to be altered in all directions, in lateral and longitudinal hierarchy.

The curator not only highly dependents ondifferent platforms to actualize his/hercuratorial projectbut also needs to extend his/her residency place occasionally in order to broad and extend his/her research.To curators, the residency experiences are a spontaneouspursuitof learning that differ from hands on practice. As, the AIR organization may be able to provide resources according to the research approaches during residency period; In addition, during the process, it not only helps to stimulate curator’s ability to build connections but also enrich its’ network internationally and build a multifarious art community;therefore, it brings contribution back to one’s curatorial research, draw more awareness to a specific long-term contemporary topic.

This conference is a collaboration between Bamboo Curtain Studio and Taipei Contemporary Art Center.  It is part of “The Petite Bamboo Salon,” a serial conferences focus on various topics of contemporary residency,  organized by Bamboo Curtain Studio.
