2023-2024 穿越交會區 Crossing Ecotones

「交會區」從生態學的角度用以說明不同物種之間生存的過渡區域稱為生態交會區Ecotone。一個廣大的生態區域如森林或海洋涵蓋了許多物種之間的生態交會區，由於植物、動物及生態系的多樣性讓每個生態區域有著明顯的不同，物種與物種之間存在著競爭或互利共生的關係。人類的都市擴張及工業化對自然生態帶來破壞，然而從文化的觀點來看，不同的族群之間透過語言、科技、知識的彼此學習與交融產生了繽紛的藝術表現面貌。

《穿越交會區》Crossing Ecotones 由國家文化藝術基金會贊助支持。這個國際交流計畫包含「見山非山」及「萬縷千絲」兩個子篇章。透過各類型駐地創作、論壇與展演的形式，與各國的生態、科學及文化藝術工作合作，穿越台灣的大屯山、北海岸潮間帶及印尼中爪哇的日惹，2023年分別於國立臺灣藝術大學有章藝術博物館及日惹皮影戲博物館舉辦國際交流展，接著在2024年完成本計畫的總成果發表。

An overlapping zone, in ecology, is a transitional area between different ecosystems. A large biological area, such as a forest or an ocean, contains many ecotones, and each of which has its own unique species and is hence very different. The species living in an area can be competitors or enjoy a symbiotic relationship. Although urban expansion and industrialisation damage the ecosystem, a transitional area between two species, from the cultural perspective, allows different ethnic groups to mingle and learn from each other through languages, technologies and sharing of knowledge, and vibrant cultures can hence be born. "Crossing Ecotones" is a programme funded by National Culture and Arts Foundation. This cultural exchange programme includes two chapters, " Mountains Seen；No Mountain Being" and "Thousands of Fibres". Collaborating with ecologists, scientists, artists and cultural professionals, the programme takes audience along to travel through Tatun Volcano Group and the intertidal zone in the North Coast in northern Taiwan, as well as Yogyakarta in Java, Indonesia, and presents its findings across its site-specific projects, forums, exhibitions and performances. The result of this programme will be on display in exchange exhibitions held at National Taiwan University of Art's Yo-Chang Art Museum (New Taipei City) and The Sonobudoyo Museum (Yogyakarta) in 2023, and the final presentation will take place in 2024.
