Abstract
This study analyzes “The Artistic Gallery” at the Taiwan Hakka Museum. This space was initially designed as a simple corridor for people to pass through while using the elevator. Leveraging the unique narrow layout of this idle space and the concept of “art-infused space,” it has been transformed into a small, exquisite, and aesthetically pleasing exhibition space. The narrow corridor adopts the “Hakka Window” concept with multiple perspectives to present the diverse aspects of Hakka life from a cultural and artistic perspective. The present study analyzes three of the exhibitions presented in The Artistic Gallery up to the present, which serve as the research cases with the following objectives: (1) To analyze the methods of cultural translation in the gallery's exhibitions to gain an in-depth understanding of how the exhibitions promote Hakka culture; (2) To analyze the forms of stylistic practices in the gallery's exhibitions to explore the role of exhibition styles in cultural exchange and understanding. This study proposes collaboration with local artists across various fields, setting diverse exhibition themes such as Hakka poetry, indigo dyeing, and digital imagery. Combining artistic works and an integrative approach, this study presents a series of exhibitions infused with local terroir, giving the corridor a fresh and meaningful identity. This enriches the essence of Hakka culture and reinforces the gallery's role as a space for cultural communication.
