Reico Goto 後藤玲子
竹圍工作室在2009年度申請藝術介入空間的「上善若水」計劃案，特別邀請日本相關領域藝術家前來指導並給予建議。 後藤玲子（Reico Goto）女士在日本東京出生、成長，她在美國卡內基‧美隆大學創意工作室工作十年後，開始跟隨葛雷思藝術學校的安‧道格拉斯Anne Douglas教授，攻讀蘇格蘭亞伯丁的葛雷思藝術學校（Grays School of Art）的博士班，並在其「邊境研究室On the Edge」研究。她目前正在研究人與樹的互動關係，去年也曾經來台，針對藝術作為農村永續發展的策略作發表，提供發展建議。 在竹圍工作室所辦理「與河共舞：藝術作為環境永續發展的策略」國際座談會中，後藤玲子介紹了她所參與執行的美國案例－「匹茲堡三條河第二自然計畫」。匹茲堡位於阿勒格尼河（Allegheny）和莫農加希拉河（Monongahela）的合流處，兩河在此匯集成俄亥俄河。就最簡單的層面來看，有兩種性質的主要思維：第一種曠野或土地的想法，假設不受人類發展的影響；另一種則是文化景觀的想法，處處受人類之影響。匹茲堡如同第二種性質的代表，因從1800年代末期開始，即已受到過度工業化開發的影響，環境受到嚴重的污染。
