演藝團隊介紹

「治本於農，以農入藝」是走路草農/藝團(WGA)的實踐的方法與目標。農業家庭的背景以及對藝術的熱愛，是團員們的共通點，農藝在此不單是指農業技術，我們更是治本於農的在家人傳承的農務經驗中，思考藝術的可能，農事是一種人文與自然之間的調和，藝術的初衷何嘗不是如此，因應節氣、順應天時地利、調節生活都是當代藝術可以取法借鏡的態度。本工作室著重在三個方向的經營：
1、 關於策展
作物從種植到採收，過程繁瑣且勞心勞力，而展覽的策劃也是如此，本工作室試圖朝向展覽規劃與展覽執行的方向，來經營自己的策展風格。
2、 關於創作
從環境議題、食安問題以及農民權利等社會事件，當代的藝術家不但無法抽離，且身在其中，除了圖像生產與空間裝置，動員周遭人事物的計劃型創作，將會是本工作室試圖努力的方向，透過更多的實地走訪與切身的訪談，挖掘更為深刻的檔案式文件。
3、 關於推廣
在就讀藝術學院的過程中，發現許多來自農業家庭背景的創作者，本工作室希望能夠串聯這些藝術家，或是對本工作室關注議題有興趣的朋友，將簡單的計劃變成一種運動，透過這樣的動員，可以將藝術的視野從白盒子，走向天光日暖的土地上，影響的不只是「觀」者，而是參與其中的參與者都能彼此影響彼此，成為日常生活的一部份。

“flourish a state through agriculture，intervene art through agriculture” is the method and objective of walking grass studio. Our members have a family background in agriculture and a profound passion for art. We use the term agriculture not just for its technical implications, instead we explore the possibilities of art via the values we have inherited from our families. Agriculture is a balance between nature and culture, not unlike art, it responses to seasons; the heavens and the earth underneath it; time and space; the rhythm of life. All of these are phenomenons art can act upon. Our studio operates in the following ways:

1.curation
From planting to sowing, produces go through a cumbersome and laborious process. Curating an exhibition requires the same effort, our studio orients to planning and executing exhibitions to establish a unique style.

2.creation
Contemporary artist cannot isolate themselves from environmental issues, food safety crisis, and labor rights. Aside from producing images and installations we will mobilize research based projects, through field investigations and interviews we strive to uncover extensive document archives.

3.promotion
In art school we’ve discovered a network of young artists with backgrounds in agriculture, we wish to connect them and others interested in our agenda, to turn projects into movements. Through this we may bring art out of the white box and into warm sunlight and land, affecting not just “viewers”, but everyone involved, turning it into a way of life.
