Eatopia EATOPIA: A sensory exploration of Taiwan
at the inaugural London Design Biennale

EATOPIA is a series of immersive and conceptually led culinary performances taking place at the inaugural London Design Biennale this September. The events will explore the richness of Taiwan’s mixed cultural heritage through a diverse presentation of contemporary Taiwanese cuisine, design and architecture. Curated by architect Rain Wu and designer Shikai Tseng in collaboration with chef Chung-Ho

Tsai, Research & Development Chef at the renowned Taiwanese fine dining restaurant Pasadena, EATOPIA will respond to the Biennale’s Utopia by Design theme by exploring the process of reaching a Utopian state. The performances will give a taste of Taiwan’s history as a country with an array of cultural heritage and residents from many different backgrounds. As Utopia is an ever-moving state, all facets of Taiwan’s identities should be nurtured and cultures should be encouraged to fuse and evolve. An experimental tasting menu of five dishes will guide the audience on a narrated journey, leading them through the installation’s themes via a series of narratives and sensory experiences. Visitors will be able to meander through a serene forest-like installation: a long dining table stands like a rock surrounded by trees, accompanied by forest sounds and dim lighting.

2015年臺灣CxCITY團隊曾以 『OPTOGO - 米蘭世博外帶台灣館』於米蘭世界博覽會上以公民力量推動公眾外交，突破國家政治框架，為世界開啟了一個以全新方式爭取展現自己國土文化的原型。而繼米蘭世博會之後，這股公眾外交動能將持續透過三個主題進行：包含延續米蘭世博會以「食」為題，前進「2016年倫敦設計雙年展」，以及串聯臺灣與香港社群的「未來市民計畫」與啟動臺灣社會改變的「TaiwanReDesign」。Cxcity團隊將偕同2015年倫敦設計節臺北館的策展團隊Eatopia，於今年九月開始以「每個人可以做的事」為題，共同策畫九至十一月倫敦、臺北、香港三地的聯合展覽，讓民眾們能以不同的方式參與公眾外交。

2015年倫敦設計節臺北館的展覽曾以EATAIPEI為主題策畫，將台北以「歷史、地景、台北人、生活型態、未來」五項議題，透過食物設計和參與式劇場的形式，以五感體驗驚艷倫敦設計節，由策展人曾熙凱、吳雅筑偕共同策展人張雅筑所領軍的Eatopia團隊即獲倫敦設計雙年展總監 - Christopher Turner 之盛情邀展，籌畫2016年的臺灣館策展。展覽時間自 9月7日起至9月27日止在薩莫塞特府(Somerset House)進行，是臺灣自2003年被國際政治力介入退出威尼斯藝術雙年展主展館後，首次再度以國家館進入雙年展主展區。策展團隊企圖提出「修龍 – 臺灣文化進化論」回應2016倫敦設計雙年展的主題「Utopia by Design 設計烏托邦」。取自閩南語的諧音，修龍(相撞)藉由食物展演設計與空間互動裝置，希望撞擊出新的族群文化融合型態，開啟臺灣文化的未來想像。

「修龍」欲回溯歷史之河，藉由食物展演設計來探討新舊文化融合的過程中所產生不同價值的碰撞，並隱喻了文化鍊中的每一份子皆是共創本土價值的人。Etopia策展團隊偕Pasadena國際餐飲首席主廚蔡中和提出五道食物裝置主題，依序為Crossing the Strait/ 跨海愛、Order on the Island/ 新秩序、Liberation/ 破立、Mutualism/ 共生、The Melting Pot/ 和而不同，並向劇場經驗汲取靈感，邀請來者在主持人的故事劇本朗讀中體驗每一道食物裝置，將族群文化的食材符碼與色彩形貌代入食物裝置中，進一步設計品嚐的方式，令觀者從富有情節的互動體驗中易於同理臺灣當代所面臨的文化議題，由此領進策展團隊對於「修龍」的核心訴求，亦即每一次文化的相撞都刺激了新的融合。如同策展人曾熙凱所提出的「和而不同，進而大同」，正是整體食物展演設計的思考主軸。

文化成癮者的設計烏托邦 – Eatopia用食物設計與世界「修龍」

旅英獨立設計師 曾熙凱與Eatopia團隊於九月前進第一屆倫敦設計雙年展，以台灣族群、文化融合、在地食材入菜，設計出五道以台灣三百年歷史為序的食物設計展演，結合故事情境，讓觀眾能從視覺、嗅覺、聽覺、味覺多重層面感受台灣文化。這次我們將邀請台灣館策展人 曾熙凱帶領大家一同前進倫敦設計雙年展現場，認識「修龍」不為人知的策展過程，聽聽受到東方文化與西方冒險精神雙向薰陶下的他，如何展現細膩情感及大膽的實驗性格，藉由多種由文化意象組成的食物構造體，與一段一段故事中看見族群融合的過去以及未來，邀你一起來探尋自我文化中最耐人尋味的島嶼記憶。

今年真的好精采：）
