- This 1960s Taipower emergency repair center was reframed into an exhibition gallery. We kept its bones and changed its language — an aluminum-grid facade, a 21-degree axial pivot, and a minimalism that lowers its voice so the work can speak. The space is a canvas; the building offers itself as a background for art.

Night facade; gallery lighting fills the ground floor and a single figure stands at the threshold.

The original structure is a 1960s Taipower emergency-repair centre — once a local symbol of progress: raised floors for container trucks, a reinforced-concrete skeleton, and a "two-Ding" tile facade mimicking the masonry proportions of an earlier era. We kept its bones. We changed its language. To an artist, the exhibition space is what the canvas is to paint — it must be a background, a language of inclusion. We chose aluminum for its lower reflectivity and welded it into a primordial grid. The entrance is that subtle shift — an axis pivoted 21 degrees.

If the work is exuberant, the space must feel exuberant; if the work is bashful, the space must feel bashful. White walls, white floor, black ceiling, columns in series, and the grid's light drifting along the rear wall — we lowered our own voice so the work could speak. Minimalism is not emptiness. The curved wall arrives at an arch; beyond the arch, a dark room; deep in the dark room, a single red.
