Commissioned by the Hong Foundation

As the Key Culture Partner for the 2024 Taipei Dangdai Art Fair. The Hong Foundation commissions artist Cheng Hsien-Yu (recipient of its 2019 Tung Ching Prize,) to transform a booth into a bait with an ulterior motive: as potential collectors step into the space, the artwork is triggered, initiating the choice to trade. Within this global art market mechanism involving artists, galleries and collectors, Cheng Hsien-Yu assigns the power of “pricing” to all, this act of pricing participation thus becomes an art work where everyone can play a part in determining its final asking price which will be the artist’s commission fees, compelling us to reconsider the exchange values we arbitrarily set on human attributes such as pranks, inspiration, creativity, or art.

本計畫由洪建全基金會委託製作

作為2024年台北當代藝術博覽會的「文化夥伴」，洪建全基金會特別委託藝術家鄭先喻（2019年「銅鐘藝術賞」得主）將展間本身化為一個別有用心的誘餌：當潛在藏家們步入這個空間，即會啟動作品機制，展開交易的抉擇。在這個連結藝術家、畫廊、藏家的全球性藝術博覽會中，鄭先喻將「定價」的權力交給在場的每個人，人人可貢獻一己之力決定作品的最終價碼，並成為藝術家的委託創作費用。定價的行為造就了作品本身，也迫使我們重新思考靈感、創造力、惡作劇或藝術等人類特質，以及我們在此之間擅自設置的價值交換。
