這是一本由近十五位不同背景的德國、奧地利及台灣藝術家,在他們開設的俱樂部中,經跨國線上會議與線下面對面,使用去中心化的權力下放方式,討論關於歷史、媒體、美學及方法論,發展出一套框架,所留下的隨筆和想法。
書中涵蓋藝術家們發展出來的三條主線:透過實體書信於台灣與歐洲間的寄送,傳遞了彼此的回應 (LETTER EXCHANGE CLUB);藉由烹飪、探討橫跨阿爾巴尼亞、德國、奧地利、台灣的食材所啟發的異國食譜,探討國家主義、去殖民、創建新聯合國度 (COOKING AS A METHOD);最後藝術家藉由不同角色的帶入,如預報員、推測者、指導員、旁觀者,或與天氣專家間的非典型互動中建構出關於自然的資訊處理 (WEATHER FORECAST CLUB)。
這個計畫在細着藝術組織下,將近四年的時間,於台灣和德國之間留下了許多痕跡,彼此間通過實體見面、郵件和線上協作,建立起交流和討論,製作這本書的同時也建構出信任和友誼。美術書?藝術家書?我們是否能因為這本書是由藝術家製作而定義它?藝術書籍的定義是什麼呢?儘管參與藝術家們都知道這本書將由他們來完成,然而製作書籍之外的其他分工又會演變成什麼情況呢?
權力下放 (去中心化) 和透明化,對於涉及歐洲和台灣近十五位藝術家的跨國溝通,發揮了重要作用。多樣化的藝術家背景,同樣觸動關於歷史、媒體、美學、方法論的討論,這些都與藝術家自身的經歷交織在一起。

A transnational art book project between Taiwan and Germany “The food is good, the weather is nice, what have you been up to?” will officially be released on 5 September, 2023.
The book entitled “The Food is good, the weather is nice, what have you been up to?” (shorted for 食時事 Shishishi) is the result of a co-working process of fifteen artists from Taiwan, Germany and Austria. Our approach is interdisciplinary and intercultural, using traditional and modern means of communication to bridge different cultures, practices and issues.
The book embodies transcultural art in the digital age. Three main topics define our project: Letter Exchange, Cooking as a Method and Weather Forecast. They serve as a means of reflection on art, history, aesthetics, and communication. Letter Exchange represents intimacy, interaction and reflection on digitalisation, Cooking as a Method explores culture, colonial history and identity, and Weather Forecast illuminates the processing of information with global perspectives.
Decentralization and transparency played an important role in transnational communication involving artists from Taiwan and Germany. Diverse artist backgrounds also stimulate discussions on history, media, aesthetics, and methodology, all of which are intertwined with the artistic experience. This served not only as an archive for events and communication processes, but also as an invitation for readers to delve deeper into the issues that artists put at the heart of their work.
With the support of institutions such as the NCAF, Kunststiftung NRW, Taipei Artist Village and Kaohsiung Literary Museum, our publication “食時事 Shishishi” aims to engage the reader in an ongoing dialogue, foster deeper intercultural discussions and serve as a template for future projects.
