藝術團隊Knitta的創辦人瑪格妲‧賽耶讓編織工藝走出刻板印象中的家庭手工，成為街頭藝術的新創作媒材。這個想法始於2005年，當時藝術家純粹是為了改造冰冷、抹殺人性的都市環境，讓手織的溫暖置於鋼筋水泥的環境中，替生硬的都市景觀增添人性及手感，也因此為編織開創了全新的運用方式，跳脫傳統工藝框架，顛覆民眾對街頭塗鴉的既定觀感。

此次賽耶特別搜尋台灣街道上常見的小吃餐車為創作發想，為古蹟菸廠現地製作此件裝置，不論是編織的物件或是展出場域，都呼應了藝術家多年來創作的主題與核心，表達她與所在的都市環境持續對話的渴望。

Magda Sayeg, founder of Knitta, has taken knitting out of the home and onto the streets. When the artist began in 2005, it was a simple response to the harsh, dehumanizing qualities of the urban environment in which she lived.

In juxtaposing handmade, woven materials with harsh, concrete and steel, she adds a human quality that otherwise rarely exists in the urban landscape and inspires an entirely new approach to knitting. Her work takes knitting beyond craft and challenges traditional assumptions about graffiti.

This site-specific installation, located in the historic Tobacco Factory, celebrates many of the themes of Magda’s work and seeks to continue a dialog about the state of the urban environments which we live.
