黃博志 (台灣) HUANG Po-Chih (Taiwan) 《五百棵檸檬樹》 500 Lemon Trees 複合媒材 Mixed media 尺寸可變 Dimensions variable 2013-2017 藝術家簡歷 Artist bio
黃博志畢業於台北藝術大學新媒體藝術學系，在他多元化的藝術實踐，著重探討的是農業、製造業、生產、消費等議題，皆與其個人家庭處境和家族歷史息息相關。2013年出版散文集《藍色皮膚：老媽的故事》，透過記錄他的母親，一個平凡個體的職業流變，去間接反映台灣近五十年來的社會改革與經濟變遷。在他近年持續性的創作計畫《五百棵檸檬樹》中，將展覽作為募資平台，一方面挪用藝術世界的資源發展農業品牌、活化廢耕地、種植檸檬樹並釀造檸檬酒；另一方面則聯繫家族成員、當地農夫、消費者，產生新的社群關係。 Po-Chih Huang’s diverse artistic practice revolves around the circumstances and history of his family which enable him to involve in issues like agriculture, manufacturing, production, consumption, etc. Since 2013, exhibitions of his continuous art project “Five Hundred Lemon Trees” have been transformed to a crowd-funding platform allowing the appropriation of artistic resources for developing an agricultural brand, activating fallow farmland, and growing lemon trees for lemon liquor. On the other hand, the project has connected his family members, local farmers and consumers to make a new social relationship possible. In 2012, he published his first collection of essays Blue Skin—All About My Mother《藍色皮膚：老媽的故事》, the story about his mother. In a way, such a brief account of personal history can somehow reflect Taiwan’s agriculture economic reform and social change over the past fifty years, which is essentially, a micro-level of observing his own family history and society as a whole in Taiwan. |

讓經驗成為養分，充分分解，在五百棵檸檬樹沁涼的樹蔭之下。
2013年《五百棵檸檬樹》一方面將展覽轉換為募資平台，利用藝術世界的資源發展農業品牌，成功募集五百位認購者，認購預先販賣的綠色酒標，以此為資金活化新竹、桃園地區三塊廢耕地，並且種下五百棵檸檬樹進而釀造檸檬酒；另一方面連結家族成員、當地農夫、消費者進入作品敘事之中，產生新的社群關係，成為作品演變過程中不可或缺的一部分。行動實踐所展開對於生命的調查，讓我著眼於參與計畫中的平凡個體，並建構出一個「種植-研究-寫作-釀酒-調酒」具相互嵌合、反饋、共生的系統——是品牌，是藝術，是酒，更是個彈性的、隨著生活變動的有機體。
Let your experience be your nutrients. Let it fully dissolve under the cool shade of 500 lemon trees.
In 2013, the exhibition of Five Hundred Lemon Trees was turned into a fundraising platform, utilizing the resources of the art world to develop an agricultural brand. We successfully recruited 500 subscribers, each of whom pre-purchased a green wine label. The funding went to reinvigorate three lots of abandoned farmland in Hsinchu and Taoyuan. Five hundred lemon trees were planted there to make limoncello. The project also drew family members, local farmers and consumers into the narrative, producing a new set of community relationships, which in turn became an indispensable part of the evolution of the work. This art action has opened up an investigation into life, and it made me focus on the ordinary individuals involved in the project. An interlocking, feedbacking, symbiotic system emerged, moving from planting to research to writing to infusing the liqueur to blending it. It is a brand. It is art. It is wine. It is an organism that changes flexibly and constantly along with life.
