城市躲貓貓 | City Hide and Seek
還記小時候那勇敢探索世界的好奇心嗎?和玩伴們一起玩躲貓貓的時光、第一次循著螞蟻的路徑發現牠們的家、第一次在公園裡追逐著三兩下就爬上樹的敏捷松鼠。
想像並非無中生有,必須藉由平時的觀察來激發更多的創意,在這個透過螢幕就能獲取知識的世代裡,發現、觀察生活周遭的事物,變得更加重要,更希望能藉由探索的力量,開啟嶄新的一年。
「城市躲貓貓」展期橫跨充滿感恩氣氛的12月及1月新年,並結合新竹市立動物園「Reborn」開幕活動,延長展期、擴大範圍在新竹公園舉行,更為2021年台灣燈會暖身。邀請來自國內外10位藝術家團隊,以「城市躲貓貓」為主題發想,打破大眾對「動物」與「燈會」的想像,創作出白天、黑夜各有不同氛圍的作品。
藝術作品紛紛「躲起來、動起來」,期待被你發現!
快來新竹市,探索這座城市吧!
Can you still recall your childhood curiosity and courage to explore the world, games of hide-and-seek, looking for ants’ colonies, or chasing squirrels through the trees?
Imagining is not just daydreaming, and observation plus imagination can inspire creativity. In this era, we often acquire knowledge through screens, and discovery and observation in daily life become more important. Through this power of exploration, we can now begin a brand new year.
The “City Hide-and-Seek” Exhibition extends from December to January next year, and is incorporated into Hsinchu City Zoo’s commencement event, “Reborn.” With time extension and scale expansion, the Exhibition will be held in Hsinchu Park as a warm up to the Taiwan Lantern Festival. Ten domestic and international artists have been invited to create under the theme of “Urban Hide-and-Seek”, with the aim to expand public perceptions towards “animals” and “lantern festivals.” Artworks are created for the different atmospheres of day and night.
We invite you to play “hide-and-seek” with art! They are here for you to discover!
Come to Hsinchu to explore this amazing city!

打攪 Intrude|帕爾工作室 Parer Studio
在藝術家阿曼達‧帕爾的故鄉澳大利亞,兔子是失去控制的入侵物種,對當地的特有物種造成了龐大的生存壓力。此外,兔子代表的是我們孩提時的童話動物,毛茸茸、天真,在田野中嬉鬧。「打攪」刻意引導出這種可愛的印象,並用強烈的視覺幽默,將你喚入作品的意境中,再揭露作品所傳達的嚴重環保議題。兔子是種屋裡大象式的大問題,對環境的衝擊,雖大卻容易忽略。
In the artist’s home country of Australia, rabbits are intruders, an out of control pest that pose a great threat to the survival of the native flora and fauna there. But, also in Australia, as everywhere else, the rabbit is a significant character in childhood stories and traditions, they are fluffy and gentle. The Intrude bunnies represent Man’s mismanagement of the natural world. The artist intentionally uses the rabbit’s cute and funny image of the rabbit to draw viewers into the more serious environment themes within the artwork.

在一顆顆散落的幾何晶體,彷彿水晶精靈一樣散落在公園各處,為場域增添神秘氣氛。光象徵真理,透過稜鏡發散出的美麗光彩,就像闡釋真理的心智,隱匿在日光背後,即便烏雲籠罩,仍在有著一絲陽光的日子裡,散發出閃爍如霓虹的光芒;如同在這個混沌的年代,依舊有著單純的美好。
Geometric crystals like crystal fairies are sparkling everywhere at the Park to add a mysterious atmosphere. Light is a metaphor for truth, and the beautiful colors reflected from the beveled mirrors symbolizes the truth known by our hearts. Even if the hidden truth is behind a dark cloud, on a sunny day, the rainbow’s light is clearly seen. Similarly, in this chaotic era, we can also find beauty in simplicity.
兒時的甜甜圈,是記憶中的美好滋味。城市「填填圈」用歡樂填滿大家的心,讓每一位來到新竹公園觀賞作品的人,駐足拍照之餘、留下回味無窮的記憶;可愛的甜甜圈上方裝飾著五顏六色的球燈,就像是色彩繽紛的糖球,走進一看,頭頂上還有起司星星,正閃耀著光芒,外頭還躲藏著一隻偽裝成起司的小老鼠,嘿嘿嘿,正準備悄悄走近來,參加這場歡樂饗宴!
Visitors to Hsinchu Park will be able to enjoy art installations, take photos, and bring home unforgettable memories. In childhood memories, there were always sweet doughnuts. The piece “Urban Doughnut” brings fun to everyone. Colorful golf ball light bulbs on the top of the doughnut are like colorful sugar balls. There are also cheese stars sparkling various colors and a little mouse is hidden inside the cheese who secretly comes to the party!

“Who’s Who?” VJ Suave, a new media artist from Brazil, uses playful patterns to attract visitors of all ages. During its creation, the artist invited students from the Affiliated Experimental Elementary School of National Tsing Hua University to the workshop where they jointly painted their memories about animals. Through this joint effort, these unique art pieces of Hsinchu were completed. In addition to patterns, by mimicking the cries of animals such as lions and birds, children brought more fun and life to this artwork.

The round and chubby hippos are playing in the water and look so happy, like human kids. Would you like to join them?

Shh! Keep your voice down! At night, animals come out!” On a clear night after rain, there is a rainbow in the sky. Light and colors bring a fantastic atmosphere to this city. The artist uses glass tubes to create this artwork from a childlike perspective. Lines portray the animal kingdoms in a children’s dream, to convey love and respect to all things on earth. You and I should all cherish and value animals that are endangered due to environmental change.

這些色彩鮮豔且姿態各異的石龍子,來自於藝術家對生活、自然和神話奔放不拘的想像;善於隱藏自己的變色龍,透過變身來融入環境,找找看,環境中有幾隻隱身在樹上的石龍子呢?所有的動物都有自己的色彩,只要努力找尋,總有一天,也會在夜裡,亮起只屬於自己的絢麗色彩。
Skinks with different colors in various positions are created with the unlimited imagination of the artist for life, nature, and myth. Skinks are good at hiding themselves in their environment. Can you find those skinks hiding in the tree? All animals have their different colors, and with effort, one day, even at night, our unique colors will shine.

藝術家使用派對帽當成馬兒的面具,藉由圓錐的形體改變原本的造型,使其不容易被辨認成任何動物。藝術家藉此創意方法,隱喻人們在派對中時常變換角色與身分,以期待能拋開束縛,盡情展現自我。另外,在慶祝的場合,派對帽常是人們象徵歡樂的道具,這件作品也藉由派對帽的外在形象,增加節慶氛圍。
The artist used party hats to make masks for horses. Through the transformation of conical hats, animals are difficult to identify.. The artist attempts to use this idea as a metaphor to represent changes of roles and identifies for people at parties, which they use to get rid of restrictions and to allow them to express themselves freely. Additionally, at occasions for celebration, party hats are instruments symbolizing fun. Thus, this piece creates a festival atmosphere through the image of party hats.
