公布品項 『 挑一件禮物 』 交換計劃
2020.11.28 - 12.19
希望用最原始的部落精神，以物品交換物品的方式，拿心目中認為同等值的品項，來體驗非洲部落交易!
主觀價值是存在於個人心中的，貨幣只是一個易懂的衡量方式。
藉由交換的結果來反應出每個人價值認定的趣味差異。
歡迎您來一起參與!!! 體驗非洲部落交易!
2020將尋找計劃繼續延續下去.....
靈感主要來自於小時候彈珠交換貼紙的單純樂趣，希望透過交換來看看不同的物品價值觀。過程中會發現 "物" "物" 交換有趣的是，它不是一板一眼的價格概念。
經濟學家亞當•斯密(Adam Smith, 1723-1790) 曾指出，"在沒有貨幣之前，人們會利用七隻雞交換一頭羊，或者用一袋穀物交換一雙涼鞋。" 其實交換得不僅是物品，還有無形附加的認同、尊重及情感。
希望有更多部落藝術作品尋找到它的主人，為生活帶來一些新的趣味
「交換」並非一定要價格等值，而是強調了「心理價值」的重要性
成果特展 - 展示的方式以一對對相呼應，將尋找到的作品與被尋找的部落藝術共同陳列，並呈現出另一種視覺的可能性與對話。
尋找計劃，對我們來說交換其實是尋找彼此喜歡的東西.
因為喜歡才會有心中的價值產生 . 如果沒喜歡就算是再昂貴的也僅存於擁有者本身 ...。
回顧2019尋找計畫...
共尋找到29位主人，很高興大家喜歡這個特別企劃，彼此都獲得"收集感"的滿足 。
成果展方面希望呈現不同的視覺感受。 從這次的交換過程中，參與者透過不同的形式作品交換，例如:不同的媒材作品包含繪畫、雕塑、攝影....等，可以發現有趣的是交換本身的精神並非用貨幣價值來衡量，而是可以用不同的形式，感受那無形的內在價值所附加的認同、尊重及情感，回到純樸的物物交換。
小巴廊會展出50件部落藝術作品作為交換的品項,並公布於小巴廊臉書。www.facebook.com/44GALLERY

12/25(五) - 12/ 31(四) 『挑一件禮物 』成果展
Subjective value exists in the heart of each individual, and currency is simply an easy way to measure it. The results of exchanges reflect the differences in how each person values things. We invite you to participate in this experience and explore the exchange of African tribal art!
In 2020, we will continue with our "search program." The inspiration for this project mainly comes from the simple joy of exchanging marbles for stickers when I was a child. We hope to explore different perspectives on the value of objects through exchange. Throughout the process, we will discover that "object for object" exchanges are interesting because they are not rigidly defined by price concepts.
Economist Adam Smith (1723–1790) once pointed out that "before the advent of money, people exchanged seven chickens for one sheep or one sack of grain for a pair of sandals." In fact, what is exchanged is not only physical items but also intangible aspects like identity, respect, and emotions. We hope that more tribal artworks will find their owners, bringing new interest into everyday life. "Exchange" does not have to mean an equal price but emphasizes the importance of "psychological value."
Exhibition Results
The way the works will be presented will involve pairing up corresponding artworks—those that have been found and those that have been sought—and they will be displayed together to present a different visual possibility and dialogue. For us, the search program is about exchanging things that we like. When we like something, it creates a value in our hearts. If we don’t like something, no matter how expensive it is, it only holds value for its current owner.
Looking back at the 2019 search program...
We found 29 new owners, and we are delighted that everyone enjoyed this special project. Both the participants and the gallery gained a sense of "collecting satisfaction." Regarding the results exhibition, we aim to present a different visual experience. During the exchange process, participants exchanged various forms of works, such as paintings, sculptures, photography, etc. What’s interesting is that the spirit of exchange itself is not measured by monetary value. Instead, it can be experienced through different forms, feeling the intangible inner values that are attached to recognition, respect, and emotions, returning to the simple act of object exchange.
Xiao Ba Lang 44 GALLERY will exhibit 50 pieces of tribal art for exchange, which will be announced on the 44 GALLERY Facebook page.
