Ⅰ. 關於絕對空間藝術進駐
絕對空間藝術進駐(Absolute Space AIR)乃延續過去絕對藝力(Absolute Arts Group)與泰國、日本、丹麥、馬來西亞、越南等地之藝術家或藝術單位的交流進駐計畫所獲得的豐富經驗,於2024年啟動的藝術進駐單位。

我們延續「在地創作社群」與「在地元素」的關注,藉由駐地藝術家作品對於本地文化現象的採用與轉化,藉由作品、活動或展覽形式,呈現出不同的城市紋理樣貌;另一方面,來自不同國家的各類機構創辦人/策展人/藝術家前來參訪交流,也讓我們得以善用這些機會推動他們與台灣藝術家的認識與合作。如 2017年泰國Anothai Oupkum策展人與日本藝術家Shinya Akutagawa所策「遙遠之繫」(Touch Far Away)、2018年馬來西亞Lostgens' contemporary art space團隊「台南街區踏查拓印紀錄呈現」(Presentation and Forum of Field Research in Tainan's City Blocks and Communities)、2019年「異地的語彙:台灣─越南兩地交流論壇」(Different Places: Taiwan-Vietnam Exchange Symposium)等駐地交流計畫。

同時,我們意識到有許多潛在的「對話、想法」是需要經由某些行為、活動被挖掘出的,不僅是最終駐地作品的靜態展出,而是國際藝文工作者、民眾、在地居民、藝術相關科系學生持續的關注、互動、討論等流動的狀態,空間也因著他們的反應隨時調整,每次的國際接軌的對話經驗,都帶給我們無形回饋,思索空間與城市和社區的關係。

絕對藝力進駐空間的所在地,正好位於台南市中心的老城區中西區,藝術家可以感受到當地的人文歷史、新舊建物的交錯地景與當地活絡的廟宇文化,同時,台南亦匯聚著許多藝術空間、藝術家與策展人,進駐藝術家將有許多機會與他們交流,我們亦期望來訪的藝術家,將社區和充滿活力的當地文化作為他們進駐的創作靈感。絕對空間藝術進駐,希望提供專業藝術家創作空間,透過藝術工作坊和展演活動,創造國內、外藝術家的交流機會,發掘優秀藝術家,亦培育台南藝文欣賞人口。

Ⅱ. 進駐基地
藝術家駐村期間,將擁有住宿空間、工作室空間與成果展出的展覽空間。我們整合原有的絕對空間位址,共設有兩處基地位址。

基地一|三和藝術基地(SanHo Art Lab)
702台南市南區三和街14號
基地二|絕對空間×Residency
700台南市中西區民生路一段205巷11號

Ⅰ. About Absolute Space AIR

Based on past residency experiences with artists and groups in Thailand, Japan, Denmark, Malaysia, and Vietnam, Absolute Arts Group initiates the Absolute Space AIR program in 2024. The program continues to engage with local communities and elements, and invites artists to adopt and translate local culture in their works, events, or exhibitions. For example, Anothai Oupkum (Thailand) and Shinya Akutagawa (Japan) curated the show “Touch Far Away” in 2017. In 2018, Lostgens' contemporary art space from Malaysia organized “Presentation and Forum of Field Research in Tainan's City Blocks and Communities”. In 2019, we presented “Different Places: Taiwan-Vietnam Exchange Symposium”. We also recognize that many potential “dialogues” and “ideas” require certain actions or activities to trigger. Besides final exhibitions, it’s also important for international artists to engage, interact, and discuss with the public, residents, and art students over time. Physical spaces can be adjusted according to their reflections. Every international experience offers valuable feedback to us. Through conversations, we contemplate on how physical spaces connect and relate to cities and communities. Participating artists will stay in a dynamic artist community, with opportunities to communicate with other art spaces and artists about techniques and ideas. The residency spaces are located in the older part of downtown Tainan City. Artists can feel and experience local history, culture, landscape, food, and temple customs that mix old and new. Many important artists across generations also live in Tainan, and visiting artists will have many chances to interact with them. We hope lively communities and local cultures will be inspiring to artists during their residency. During the residency, we provide accommodation, workspaces, exhibition spaces, and a great creative environment. The program also enriches international exchanges in Tainan. Besides our existing space, we also add SanHo Art Lab to provide more available spaces to creators. The program provides creative opportunities to artists, and enables engagement between local and international artists. It’s also a new way to introduce art to local population.

Ⅱ. Residency Location
During the artist residency, artists will have accommodation space, studio space, and exhibition space for showcasing their works. We are integrating the existing Absolute Space location and establishing another studio location, resulting in two base addresses. Lab 1|SanHo Art Lab
No. 14, Sanhe St., South Dist., Tainan City 702033
Lab 2|Absolute Space × Residency
No.11, Lane 205, Sec. 1 Minsheng Road, Tainan City 700

[Event Description]

👻 If you could give one thing to another world, what would you give?

Fruit? Desserts? Or perhaps… something that only you know why it is important?

In Taiwan, the seventh month of the lunar calendar is a very special time. People prepare fruits, pastries, drinks, and all kinds of objects as offerings, expressing gratitude and heartfelt wishes to another world. But what do people in different places choose to offer?

Japanese artist Mika Shimauchi invites you to explore the traditions of offerings during Taiwan’s seventh lunar month, while sharing stories, customs, and cultural perspectives from different places.

And we hope you won’t just talk about it—let’s make it! ✂️✨

Using origami and collage, we will create, piece by piece, the things we imagine giving to “another world.”

It could be a food, a gift, a wish, a memory, or even something that doesn’t exist in this world.

Finally, we will bring everyone’s creations together to create our own imagined world. 🌏

This is more than just a hands-on workshop.
It is also an opportunity to imagine, create, and exchange ideas through the cultures of Taiwan, Japan, and beyond.

👧🏻👦🏻 Families are very welcome!
No artistic or craft experience is required. Adults and children can all create in their own way.

Come and tell us—If a guest from another world arrived today, what would you give them?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

All the Offerings We Can Give

▸ Format: Origami × Collage × Cultural Exchange
▸ Age: 6 and above; families are welcome
▸ Experience: No artistic or craft experience required

📌 Limited spots available. Advance registration is encouraged!

💡藝術家介紹💡
Mooni Perry(1990 年生於首爾)是一位現居柏林的視覺藝術家與電影創作者,其創作實踐聚焦於離散社群(diaspora)的神性、女性儀式實踐,以及橫跨東亞及其他地區的民間宇宙觀(vernacular cosmologies)。
她的影像作品源自長期田野研究,探討神話、民間信仰、女性儀式,以及被壓抑的歷史如何持續塑造當代生活。她透過電影、裝置與出版等多元媒介,追溯故事、神祇與靈性實踐如何跨越國界、世代與政治體制流動與傳承。
她近期作品《EL》(2025)於首爾國立現代美術館展出,追溯日本殖民時期遷徙至滿洲的韓國女性那些被遺忘的人生。影片拍攝於中國東北昔日滿洲國的多處遺址,在夢境、檔案碎片與當代景觀之間穿梭,探討消失、流離失所,以及殖民暴力所留下的歷史餘波。
她的裝置與出版計畫《Missing》(2024)源於對香港及華南女性道教社群的研究。作品結合影像、田野筆記、訪談與推想性寫作(speculative writing),探討那些生活於傳統家庭結構之外的女性,並透過「失蹤的女人」這一形象,追索另類的親屬關係、信仰實踐與歸屬形式。
她最新的雙頻道裝置作品《The Oracle》(2025)由香港 CHAT(Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile)委託創作,歷經三個月於香港及華南地區的田野研究發展而成。計畫最初從七仙女傳說及其與紡織女工、自梳女(Comb Sisters)、菜姑(Cai Gu)群體,以及以女性為核心的廟宇傳統之間的關聯展開,隨後逐漸擴展為對死亡、儀式與女性神聖形象的探索。透過廟宇祭儀、乩童/靈媒實踐、刺繡工作坊,以及盂蘭節儀式等場景,作品描繪平凡女性如何透過集體記憶與信仰,被轉化為祖先、薩滿、女神與守護者。
她曾於多個藝術機構展出作品,包括德國明斯特 Westfälischer Kunstverein、柏林 KW 當代藝術中心(KW Institute for Contemporary Art)、柏林新藝術協會(Neuer Berliner Kunstverein)、愛沙尼亞塔林 Kai Art Center、首爾 ARKO Art Center,以及香港 CHAT。2021 年,她獲頒 ars viva 藝術獎。

Mooni Perry (b. 1990, Seoul) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Berlin whose practice explores diasporic divinity, women's ritual practices, and vernacular cosmologies across East Asia and beyond.
Her moving image works emerge from long term field research and investigate how myths, folk religions, women's ritual practices, and suppressed histories continue to shape contemporary life. Working across film, installation, and publishing, she traces the movement of stories, deities, and spiritual practices across borders, generations, and political regimes.
Her recent film EL (2025), exhibited at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, traces the forgotten lives of Korean women who migrated to Manchuria during the Japanese colonial period. Filmed across former sites of Manchukuo in Northeast China, the work moves between dreams, archival fragments, and contemporary landscapes to explore disappearance, displacement, and the afterlives of colonial violence.
Her installation and publication Missing (2024) emerged from research into female Taoist communities in Hong Kong and Southern China. Combining moving image, field notes, interviews, and speculative writing, the project examines women who have lived outside conventional family structures, tracing alternative forms of kinship, devotion, and belonging through the figure of the missing woman.
Her recent two channel installation The Oracle (2025), commissioned by CHAT, developed through three months of field research in Hong Kong and Southern China. Beginning with research on the Seven Fairies and their connections to textile workers, Comb Sisters, Cai Gu communities, and women centered temple traditions, the project gradually expanded into an exploration of death, ritual, and female sacred figures. Through temple ceremonies, spirit medium practices, embroidery workshops, and Hungry Ghost Festival rituals, the work traces how ordinary women become ancestors, shamans, goddesses, and guardians through collective memory and devotion.
She has exhibited at institutions including Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; Kai Art Center, Tallinn; ARKO Art Center, Seoul; and CHAT, Hong Kong. In 2021, she received the ars viva prize.

「鬧熱」的布里柯拉吉 The Bricolage of “lāu-lia̍t”
「鬧熱」のブリコラージュ

🌟展覽論述Exhibition Statement🌟
在一個日益受理性化驅動的社會中,我長久以來一直對本能與野性,那些無法單憑理性來全然解釋的層面深感興趣。同時也關注著自身,因無法完全與之妥協,而在現代生活中所面臨的困境。在此背景下,歷經反覆發生的災難與疫情,我深刻體會到理性的知識與預測是何等脆弱。受此啟發,我開始尋求有別於西方理性的世界感知方式。透過重新審視我所居住的九州,當地遺留的本土祭典與薩滿信仰展演,我創作出將這些傳統與當代生活相連結的作品。

作為此脈絡的延伸,我獲得了造訪臺南的機會,這是一座與九州有著深厚地理與歷史淵源的城市。我渴望重構自身的敘事,不再將其侷限於特定地域,而是從與其他地區的共通性與交會點來展開探討。

在臺南,廟宇及整座城市充斥著鮮豔的色彩,交織著夜市的喧囂,讓日常生活本身便宛如一場慶典。在那裡,一種魔幻的氛圍存續於現代日常之中;我感受到一種懷舊之情與時間的疊影,並體驗到極大的愉悅與振奮。於是,彷彿為了採集那種「熱鬧」的體感,我開始創作小型的拼貼物件(bricolage)與繪畫作品。透過採集與觀察廟宇及舞獅上的色彩,加上遊園票根、傳單,以及從超市買來的紅包袋等日常拾得物,我逐漸理解了這個將日常生活與慶典溫柔交織在一起的文化。

同時,我也感受到當地人民的韌性。儘管這片土地疊加了複雜的統治歷史,他們依然將這些過往轉化為屬於自己的敘事,在包容這些文化交融的同時,孕育出自身的文化底蘊。

作為這些思辨的延伸,我亦將目光轉向人們在面對焦慮與苦難時的祈禱行為,以及毫無保留的奉獻,並將其作為關鍵元素融入我的創作中。對我而言,臺南的「熱鬧」不僅僅是喧嘩充滿活力的氛圍,更是一種深植於日常生活的文化實踐。這種特質與我長期關注的九州祭典產生了深刻的共鳴。我試圖將兩者與當下連結,並將它們所共有的感性予以視覺化。透過這樣的實踐,我期盼創作出能讓觀者以當代的感知,重新體驗傳統中的魔幻元素與慶典能量的作品。

In a society increasingly driven by rationalization, I have long been interested in instincts and wildness—aspects that cannot be fully explained by rationality alone—as well as the difficulties I personally face in modern life due to my inability to fully come to terms with them. Amid this, as I have experienced repeated disasters and epidemics, I have keenly realized just how fragile rational knowledge and predictions can be. Prompted by this, I have sought ways of perceiving the world that differ from Western rationality. While reevaluating the indigenous festivals and shamanic expressions that remain in Kyushu, where I live, I have created works that connect these traditions to contemporary life.
As an extension of this, I had the opportunity to visit Tainan, a city with deep geographical and historical ties to Kyushu. I wanted to reframe my own narrative not as something confined to a specific region, but rather in terms of its commonalities and intersections with other regions.

In Tainan, the temples and the entire city were filled with vivid colors, and combined with the bustle of the night market, everyday life itself felt like a festival. There, a sense of the magical lives on within modern daily life; I felt a sense of nostalgia and the overlapping of time, and experienced a great sense of elation. And so, as if collecting the sensation of “lively bustle,” I began creating small bricolage and drawing works. By collecting and observing the colors found in temples and lion dances, in addition to familiar objects such as tourist tickets, flyers, and red envelopes purchased at the supermarket, I came to understand a culture in which daily life and celebration are gently intertwined.

I also sensed the resilience of the people who, despite the complex history of domination layered upon their lives, have retold these stories as their own and nurtured their culture while embracing this intermingling.

As an extension of these reflections, I also turned my attention to the acts of prayer and the offering of all one has when facing anxiety and hardship, incorporating them as key elements into my artwork. For me, Tainan’s “re-nao” is not merely a lively atmosphere, but a cultural practice deeply rooted in daily life. It resonates deeply with the festivals of Kyushu that I have long pursued, and I am attempting to connect them to the present while visualizing the sensibilities they share. In doing so, I aim to create works that allow the audience to re-experience the traditional magical elements and the energy of the festivals through a contemporary sensibility.

【進駐藝術家介紹】
Mooni Perry(1990 年生於首爾)是一位現居柏林的視覺藝術家與電影創作者,其創作實踐聚焦於離散社群(diaspora)的神性、女性儀式實踐,以及橫跨東亞及其他地區的民間宇宙觀(vernacular cosmologies)。

她的影像作品源自長期田野研究,探討神話、民間信仰、女性儀式,以及被壓抑的歷史如何持續塑造當代生活。她透過電影、裝置與出版等多元媒介,追溯故事、神祇與靈性實踐如何跨越國界、世代與政治體制流動與傳承。

她近期作品《EL》(2025)於首爾國立現代美術館展出,追溯日本殖民時期遷徙至滿洲的韓國女性那些被遺忘的人生。影片拍攝於中國東北昔日滿洲國的多處遺址,在夢境、檔案碎片與當代景觀之間穿梭,探討消失、流離失所,以及殖民暴力所留下的歷史餘波。

她的裝置與出版計畫《Missing》(2024)源於對香港及華南女性道教社群的研究。作品結合影像、田野筆記、訪談與推想性寫作(speculative writing),探討那些生活於傳統家庭結構之外的女性,並透過「失蹤的女人」這一形象,追索另類的親屬關係、信仰實踐與歸屬形式。

她最新的雙頻道裝置作品《The Oracle》(2025)由香港 CHAT(Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile)委託創作,歷經三個月於香港及華南地區的田野研究發展而成。計畫最初從七仙女傳說及其與紡織女工、自梳女(Comb Sisters)、菜姑(Cai Gu)群體,以及以女性為核心的廟宇傳統之間的關聯展開,隨後逐漸擴展為對死亡、儀式與女性神聖形象的探索。透過廟宇祭儀、乩童/靈媒實踐、刺繡工作坊,以及盂蘭節儀式等場景,作品描繪平凡女性如何透過集體記憶與信仰,被轉化為祖先、薩滿、女神與守護者。

她曾於多個藝術機構展出作品,包括德國明斯特 Westfälischer Kunstverein、柏林 KW 當代藝術中心(KW Institute for Contemporary Art)、柏林新藝術協會(Neuer Berliner Kunstverein)、愛沙尼亞塔林 Kai Art Center、首爾 ARKO Art Center,以及香港 CHAT。2021 年,她獲頒 ars viva 藝術獎。

Mooni Perry (b. 1990, Seoul) is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Berlin whose practice explores diasporic divinity, women's ritual practices, and vernacular cosmologies across East Asia and beyond.

Her moving image works emerge from long term field research and investigate how myths, folk religions, women's ritual practices, and suppressed histories continue to shape contemporary life. Working across film, installation, and publishing, she traces the movement of stories, deities, and spiritual practices across borders, generations, and political regimes.

Her recent film EL (2025), exhibited at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, traces the forgotten lives of Korean women who migrated to Manchuria during the Japanese colonial period. Filmed across former sites of Manchukuo in Northeast China, the work moves between dreams, archival fragments, and contemporary landscapes to explore disappearance, displacement, and the afterlives of colonial violence.
Her installation and publication Missing (2024) emerged from research into female Taoist communities in Hong Kong and Southern China. Combining moving image, field notes, interviews, and speculative writing, the project examines women who have lived outside conventional family structures, tracing alternative forms of kinship, devotion, and belonging through the figure of the missing woman.
Her recent two channel installation The Oracle (2025), commissioned by CHAT, developed through three months of field research in Hong Kong and Southern China. Beginning with research on the Seven Fairies and their connections to textile workers, Comb Sisters, Cai Gu communities, and women centered temple traditions, the project gradually expanded into an exploration of death, ritual, and female sacred figures. Through temple ceremonies, spirit medium practices, embroidery workshops, and Hungry Ghost Festival rituals, the work traces how ordinary women become ancestors, shamans, goddesses, and guardians through collective memory and devotion.

She has exhibited at institutions including Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; Kai Art Center, Tallinn; ARKO Art Center, Seoul; and CHAT, Hong Kong. In 2021, she received the ars viva prize.
