富邦金融中心座落於仁愛路四段上,室內挑高寬敞的廳堂,一走進即刻感受到環面落地窗所帶來的穿透明亮感,不僅讓人與建築沒有距離,更展現企業的鴻圖氣格。映入眼簾的大理石牆面,今年度展出的作品不同以往觀者對平面畫作的想像,剛獲2008台灣國際陶藝雙年展首獎的朱芳毅,他讓我們看見陶土素材跳脫傳統的新觀感,但又不失陶所散發的溫潤色澤與沉穩氣息。作品「物件」帶我們回溯人類最初的溝通語言---圖像。人類所使用的文字由圖像演化而來,在最初的年代,每個單一圖像所代表的意涵,透過大家共有的生活經驗與記憶來解讀。這些「物件」便是藝術家將自己生活經歷中對社會的種種觀察化為視覺的日記,它可能承載了深刻的記憶、或片段想像、或一種似曾相識的感覺,而觀者可以用自身的情感思維,來感受作品帶給你的無限聯想。

The Fubon Financial Center is situated on Sec. 4 of Jen-Ai Road, upon entering into its elevated spacious lobby, one can immediately feel the crystal clearness that the surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows impart, and not only can the pedestrians feel more intimate with the architecture, it also depicts the corporation's majestic style. The artwork being presented this year on the marble wall sets apart from the standard impressions one would hold towards a flat painting. The new first prize recipient of the 2008 Taiwan Ceramic Biennale, Chu Fang-Yi, allows the ceramic medium to stray away from the tradition with a new approach, and yet at the same time, the stable and clement natures of clay are still maintained. The “Objects” guide us to trace back to the first mode of communication for man-kind, the imageries. The written languages of man-kind have derived from images, and in the beginning, each image represents a certain meaning, and it is deciphered by the communal experiences and memories that the community holds together. These “Objects” are the artist's various observations of the society throughout his personal life journeys, and he has transformed them into a visual diary that contains a profound memory, a moment of imagination, and perhaps feelings of de ja vue. The audience can use his or her personal emotions to connect with the art and to feel the limitless possibilities that the pieces may bring to you.
