Fish Trap House Exhibition (for Juming Museum)
2023
Fish Trap House Exhibition
Fish trap, an ancient fishing tool handcrafted from bamboo and rattan, appears in various traditional cultures and ethnic groups worldwide. The shape and size of fish traps in different regions are influenced by the materials available, the targeted catch, the setting environment, and the aesthetics of the specific ethnic group. Discarded fish traps not only carry the accumulated knowledge of human civilization but also hold memories of the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature in the past.
Artist Cheng Tsung FENG focuses on the memories of handicraft, experiencing a unique sense of space with his body. Depending on the environmental characteristics and behavioral attributes of each creation site, he perceives the surroundings as rivers and the people passing by as potential catch. With this perspective, he crafts distinct and exclusive Fish Trap House at each location.
He created his 8th Fish Trap House at the Juming Museum in Jinshan, New Taipei City. Influenced by the sculptures of artist Chu Ming within the park, he used several intersecting planes to form the structure, resulting in entrances, walls, and windows of the trap hut. Unlike traditional fish traps, his created Fish Trap House is not meant for catching fish but rather aimed at capturing people's curiosity and attention, inviting them to immerse themselves in its unique charm like fish swimming into it.
Scaled models and photographs of the entire Fish Trap House series are also concurrently exhibited within the park.

筌屋特展
魚筌是以竹藤手工製作而成的古老漁獵工具，出現在各地與各族群傳統文化之中，各地的魚筌造形和尺寸主要受材料、獵物、設置環境與該族群的審美所影響，不再被使用的魚筌不但承載著人類文明的累積，也存放著過去人與自然和諧共處的關係。藝術家范承宗關注著手工的記憶、用身體感受特殊的空間感，依照創作基地的環境特徵與人們的行為屬性，他將環境視為河流，將往來的人群視為獵物，在每個基地創造獨一無二的筌屋。
他於新北市金山區朱銘美術館創作的第八件筌屋，受園區內雕塑家朱銘的作品影響，他以幾道切面構成造形，產生筌屋的入口、牆與窗，他所創造的筌屋並不用來抓魚，而是企圖捕捉人們的好奇與關注，引人如魚般游入其中。
園區內同時展出筌屋計劃所有縮比模型與圖文。
