破損牆角、脫落紅磚，在德國藝術家楊‧弗門的眼中都是大玩創意的好地方，他利用彩色積木，讓灰色的城市變身歡樂繽紛的遊戲場。始於義大利古城的積木修城計畫感染力十足，人人都可以參與這無國界的公共藝術創作，並在網路平台上與世界一同分享，目前已在超過四十座城市有民眾自發性的Dispatchwork現身。

今年六月弗門親自來到臺北大玩遊「隙」！讓目光投向城市角落、與藝術不期而遇，弗門的理念和富邦藝術基金會不謀而合：多年來基金會推動的「無牆美術館」也是在台北的巷弄，強調藝術作品該勇於走出展覽白牆，與生活空間對話，也因為這般在城市風景上的耕耘獲2011臺北文化獎之肯定。今年延續此一殊榮，讓積木修城計畫正式登「臺」！藝術家此行感動滿滿，加上政治大學師生、東區店家、以及許多民眾的熱情參與，也讓弗門留下深刻印象。

歡迎各位拿起手邊的彩色積木自發性投入，讓感動化身為行動，打破對於週遭環境既定的無感與冷漠，在城市角落激發出一圈圈彩色漣漪。

For Jan Vormann, broken corners and missing red tiles make for ideal places for creativity. He uses plastic construction bricks of all colors and sizes to fill in the missing pieces on various structures. The makeover breathes new life into what used to be inconspicuous spots, transforming a gray city into a playground of colorful surprises.

The project began in an ancient Italian city. It is infectious in inspiring creativity and the desire to create. Vormann welcomes participants from all over the world to join the project. To date, over forty cities have seen spontaneous Dispatchwork initiated by the locals.

Vormann visited Taipei in June 2012. Take a look at the moment when city corners meet creativity and art and you’ll notice a surprising likeness in Vormann’s vision and that of Fubon Art Foundation. For years, the Foundation has been promoting the concept of a “museum without walls,” aimed at engaging art in a dialogue with everyday life. The Foundation’s devotion in changing the city lanscape has won it the 2011 Taipei Culture Award. To extend the honor, the Foundation invited Vormann and his Dispatchwork to Taipei. The project also drew in students of Chengchi University, along with some shops in Taipei’s East District and many locals. Their enthusiastic participation made Vormann’s visit to Taipei heartfelt and memorable.

Feel free to initiate your own Dispatchwork with colorful plastic construction bricks anytime, anywhere. Let’s create ripples of color in different corners of the city!
