The outdoor landscape installation in Taitung Museum of Art, The Memory of 80's, is a linear corridor composed of three rows of form-resistant triangular-sectioned aluminum pillars in extrusion, with each and every one of the pillars skived in opposite directions on the two ends to stabilize its structural system and establish its mechanical relations. The installation is placed on the open grass area in front of the museum to create an end view along the axis of the space. The corridor is 42 meters in length, 8.1 meters in height and 2.1 meters in width. Not only does it convey a strong sense of transparency and floatation through the composition of these vertically erected pillars, the corridor also overlaps harmoniously with the surroundings through the quality of such visual penetration. Consequently, its existence divides the open field into different-sized courtyards so to echo with and reshape its enveloping context.The core idea of this artwork is to seek after a minimalized, abstract, and expressive spatial existence through such an articulation system of simple materials and tectonics of the local, as well as to explore the self-discipline and inner-order of the substantial relations within the fundamental geometry, structure, and tectonics through the dialectical experiment of the connections among the "nodes" of materiality.
