WHITE LABEL

white label成立於2008年開始，由一群民間設計師、藝術家、音樂人利用下班時間自發性組成的游移性組織，white label的原意是獨立音樂人於發行正式作品前所錄製的white label版本，代表著最原始的創作面貌。white label希望能成為一個跨界(crossover)平台，讓各領域的創作人、觀眾，都能以輕鬆隨性的態度相遇、交流和自我實現。

Established in 2008, White Label was a self-active organization initiated by a group of individual designers, artists, andmusicians with their after-work hours. “White label” originally means the white label version of record by independent musicians before the record is formally published, representing the most original creation. It is hoped that White Label could be a platform for creators in different fields and audience to meet each other, exchange thoughts, and realize themselves in a relaxing and casual manner.

展期：2009/9/26~9/27
地點：2009 white label 城市生活藝術節


藝術家簡介：

周世雄 Shih Hsiung Chou
Taipei, Taiwan, 1989
works in University of Arts London, Central Saint Martins college, BA Fine Arts Department
http://choushihhsiung.blogspot.com/

出生並成長於台北的傳統中產階級家庭，在爆炸的時代與環境的束縛下拉扯掙扎，對於現實世界感到不美滿的逃避或是批判心態，使其產生許多幻想與期許，充分表現新一代獨立思考階級深沈的漂流與自溺，周世雄的作品主在表達思考以及抽象概念的實現/實體化，喜愛思考各式媒材的可能性加以運用，畫面空間感鮮明，試圖營造極簡卻帶有強烈情緒的衝突感受。


作品簡介：

[ 完美的抱怨 ]
周世雄 / 完美的抱怨 2009 / 檀香, 100x100 cm 畫布
完美的抱怨探討在台灣傳統宗教中，群眾向神祈焚香[禱告/抱怨]生活中的不滿，希望能夠有所回應，藉由焚香的炊煙裊裊，所有的祈求隨之直達天聽，運用過爐的攔截手法以及自然力創作，群眾的不滿在不假雕飾的情況下，成為一幅幅完美又曖昧的藝術創作。



[ Shock Me ]
周世雄 / Shock me 2009 / 展示 display
Shock Me是效法在開放空間中展示私物的空間亂入概念的作品，同時利用書櫃魚缸裝置中的玩具鯊魚，幽默某知名藝術家的作品，為作者自行收納。

White Label is gonna fight ... for your right ... to picnic.

With City Life Art Festival tomorrow and Sunday at Huashan 1914 Creative Park (華山創意園區) (formerly known as Huashan Culture Park, 華山文化園區), the group is putting a new spin on the CAMPO-style outdoor market/music festival. Drawing inspiration from the Tokyo Picnic Club (www.picnicclub.org), White Label is urging Taipei residents to reclaim their urban spaces through the power of the picnic. Admission is free and attendees are encouraged to bring their own food and drinks.

“It will be an urban picnic event from now on,” said White Label founder Chen Yu-hsin, better known as A-Li. “We would like people to not just come to see the bands and to buy things at the market. They should ask their friends to come picnic with them.”

White Label began in 2008 when A-Li, cofounder of CAMPO (Cinema Art Music People Original), decided to branch out. Like CAMPO, the new venture was to be a monthly gathering of artists and musicians sharing and selling their work in an environment free from commercial influences. But although he loved the grass-roots, independent feel of the CAMPO experience, he wanted White Label to be more urban and edgy.

White Label hosted six events in the first half of 2008, but organizers grew frustrated with the city government’s noise, decor and flyer restrictions for the use of Red House Theater (西門紅樓) in Ximending. For A-Li, there were just “too many rules.” As a result, the White Label went on hiatus for more than a year.

“I’m an office man now,” A-Li said. “I can’t hold as many events as CAMPO used to, but I still want to do something.”

Bands and DJs are performing all weekend at City Life Art Festival, but tomorrow is the big day and will include the fuzzy shoegazer sounds of Boyz and Girl and the video game-inspired electronica of Unfamiliar Friends Party (不熟的朋友派對). Also tomorrow, the First Film Festival (firstfilm.pixnet.net), which is showing the debut films of 30 Taiwanese directors in 10 days at different locations across Taipei, will screen its first film, Sunday Morning (星期天早晨), by director and curator Alfie Chen (陳建軒). An outdoor installation art exhibit and a flea market selling products made by independent artists and designers are planned for both days.

秋天是聽音樂的好季節。9/26的秋分時節，俗語"秋分天氣白雲來，處處新歌好稻栽"，這時秋高氣爽，白天晚上一樣長，2009 white label 演出野餐樂團音樂！

「為什麼是城市生活藝術節？」

這幾天好多人問起，下了這麼一個感覺很厲害的名字都覺得有點不好意思了。前一陣子和朋友們到大安森林公園野餐，鋪起野餐布，帶了派對的小旗子綁在樹上，幾個朋友拿出手機和iPod放起音樂，就這樣度過了一個歡樂的星期天午後，最後還下起雨，朋友們玩開了，也不是太過在意。野餐的時候，路經的人們過都用奇怪的神光看著我們，大概有些人心想：這些小孩子好可愛啊！但或許有更多人想著這些人不知道是從什麼奇怪的星球跑出來的。

東京有一群建築師、都市計畫師和喜歡料理的人們為了慶祝"野餐"誕生的200週年發起了一個名為東京野餐俱樂部的團體，自2002年開始在東京市中心非常高度商業化的地區，例如原宿。推動都市野餐的活動，東京野餐俱樂部宣稱「野餐權」(Picnic Right)是東京市民所擁有的基本人權之一，其中包含完全開放都市中的綠色地帶(Green Fields)及棕色地帶(Brown Fields，指老舊的工業園區)。一開始只是很小一群人帶著精心準備的野餐籃子，到一個集合地點野餐，七年活動下來，2008年竟然還有了為野餐專屬設計的飛機小墊子。

2009年的台北，不如我們就來做一樣可愛又浪漫的事情吧！在城市裡找一個舒適的地方坐下野餐，伴隨活動既有的元素—輕鬆的音樂、友善的買賣還有好多很酷很可愛的人們。或許每個人的力量都很小，但是很多人聚集在一起就會很有意思。希望有一天我們也可以跟東京野餐俱樂部一樣，做一個超級飛機放在大大的草地，而且我們的城市到處都是美好空間與歡樂假期。

今年，我們邀請你(妳)9月26日來台北華山創意園區攜帶微笑與誠懇和white label一起野餐！

(當所有人的野餐籃子集合在一起)

Tokyo Picnic Club (TPC) was founded in 2002 to celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of picnic. TPC members are from various fields like the architect, urban designer, photographer, food coordinator, etc..
