Ambiguous Atmosphere is the disturbance generated by the publicness and sociality in the museum space pertaining to the exchange between architecture and art. It attempts to come in between our daily lives by flowing along the boundary of art and space.

The Taipei Fine Arts Museum is looking forward to renewing the spatial imagination of creation and society through this event that combines the international forum, “X-site” projects, and the “IN-site” cross-disciplinary exhibition of student workshops. The “IN-site” International Forum is a continuation of the 2013 “Out of site” International Seminar, not only relative to the elements of out/off/non, but it is a direct reference to the presence of the site, object/event, and characteristics of participation. Each of the 33 proposed X-site projects would initiate a multi-angle investigation on the plaza space in front of TFAM. Regardless if the proposals would ever come into fruition, it would allow the various stories, spaces, and behaviors to be repeated and corrected – like the many bubbles expanding, floating, bursting, and finally existing in the summer memories. As Le Corbusier once wrote, “Architecture is like a soap bubble,” the X-site project is also a form of co-construction by internal and external ties. It not only demonstrates the material balance both inside and outside the museum, but also tugs at the strings in the viewer’s heart.

This link between materialism and heartstrings seems to be the subject that many current young creators would want to discuss. It is also reflected in the students’ perception of time and space in the 5 courses of In-site cross-disciplinary workshops spanning a total of 5 weeks. Such perception is neither physical, logical, nor linear, where the students’ spatial imagination instead flows between the inner conscious and external information.
