Tree Tree Tree Person: Taroko Arts Residency Project IV Part 3: Family Matters in the Mountains
This year鈥檚 Tree Tree Tree Person 鈥� Taroko Art Residency Program IV Part 3 features four groups of resident researchers from various creative fields. They include Yan-Xiang Lin, Shang-Chiao Li, Dorothy Wong Ka-Chung & Benjamin Ryser, and Jing Y. & Lou Mo. Throughout this year, they conducted their research in the Datong Village and Dali Village within the Taroko National Park. In this exhibition, they will be presenting the results of their residency in the form of documents, audio-visuals, installations, writings, photography, and live events.
In 2023, themed with Family Matters in the Mountains, the Tree Tree Tree Person 鈥� Taroko Arts Residency Project IV Part 3 calls for residency research projects. The housework labor in the mountains during the pandemic shall be brought into focus, extending the imagination for the relationships between nature and art in the traditional area.
In the summer of 2021, COVID-19 impacted the operation of the society in Taiwan, the lives of the Datong Village and Dali Village in the mountains of Taroko, and the execution of Tree Tree Tree Person 鈥� Taroko Arts Residency Project IV Part 2. After all the known elders in the tribe were verified as having received their second dose, Tree Tree Tree Person resumed the arrangements and residencies of the researchers in the mountains. During one revisit to the tribal community beneath the mountains in October, while searching for inspiration for the art residency project, we found Auntie Bnu was troubled by the replacement of the balcony extension supports behind her place, which collapsed due to aging. It was partly because of the construction cost as well as the terrible inconvenience and extreme danger with the surviving half of the balcony. Also, we learned that the balcony had been in service for over twenty years since she had relocated beneath the mountains. This conversation has been lingering in our minds ever since. We were wondering if we could allocate a portion of the fund for the exhibition at Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts (KdMoFA) next year (2022) to the family matters of the women in the mountains. Would it depict a different labor landscape?
