日常取向—當我們為生活切片
當代世界變動快速，無論工作模式、生活中大量的資訊與社群網絡效應，比起過往，這些外在因素更容易影響人們在日常生活（Daily Life）中的喜怒哀樂。
順應前人努力及社會發展，當今人們擁有更多的選擇權。大至性別認同、移居城市、工作方式，小至旅行往來、食衣住行育樂等，人們在生活中各種選擇推動著人生方向，這些在日常生活中大大小小的選擇，可以「取向（Orientation）」作為解釋。「取向」的定義為推行事物時所選擇的方向，包含空間的移轉及時間的流動，以及日常生活中扮演的角色、往來關係、事物等，都構成了「取向」。
「切片」是一個我們讀取生活的途徑，體察在日常取向中的點線面。無論是將個人、群體時間，抑或大空間到小空間的切分（Slice），這些片段與片面都組成日常的型態，也結構成每個人生活的面貌。另一種解釋，如同醫學中常用於檢查方式，「切片」（Biopsy）是指從器官組織切出部分進行檢查；套用於日常，我們從生活中一隅、一環、部分等零碎的人事物取樣觀察，由內而外，心理到物理，「切片」得以重新檢視這些日常中的徵狀與樣態。
就每個人的經驗而言，公、私領域的交替構成了日常的主要場景。「家」作為一個私空間的代表，牽繫著人們的成長，在日常中影響家庭成員的性格、特質、性別角色，試圖定位自身存在的價值與意義。而當出門面對社會環境，公共空間成為大眾必經的場所，人們往來城市街廓、學校、醫院，走在馬路上經過交通物件或排水溝蓋，在這些認為的常態之間往來集散，或匆匆而短暫，或緩緩而漫長。日常生活可以說是由各個瑣碎的人事物組合而成的總體，隨時間不停地前進及堆壘；但若切分出每時每刻的人事物，可以發現人們的取向坐落及出現在某處，靜態或動態地彼此產生連結和互動，最終形成當下世界的特質、生存定義或生活習慣。
本展覽作為重新省思日常生活及認知自我的媒介，企圖透過視覺文化連結觀者生命經驗，以「定位」、「常態」、「集散」三個子題，運用遠近交互、內心感受到物質環境的觀看動線，帶領大眾診視日常中自身的角色、關係與模式；期能藉由參展藝術家陳宛伶、張騰遠、賴志盛、黃海欣、蘇子涵、盂施甫、賴威宇、李承亮、王煜松、石孟鑫不同創作形式，以及藝術家們對於日常生活的關切與切片，體現各種時空條件下所造就的「日常取向」。
Orientation of Daily Life: A Biopsy of Our Life
In this fast-paced world, work patterns, information explosion and social media frenzy have affected people’s mood in daily lives more than ever.
Thanks to the efforts made by their predecessors in the past with social development, people nowadays have more choices from major issues such as gender identity and relocation to trivia like travelling and basic needs. To continue their life, each person makes countless choices, which can be interpreted using one word: orientation. Here, “orientation” refers to the direction one chooses to move forward, including the roles they play, interactions with others and things they encounter in daily life that involves spatial transition and passing of time.
Daily life “biopsy” implies an approach to interpreting our everyday life and observing daily choices. The time of an individual or group can be divided into slices of different size that formulate their everyday life patterns. Alternatively, like its medical definition an examination of tissue removed from the living body, a “biopsy” of our daily life denotes the process of observing particular trivia in our life physically and mentally to reidentify the characteristics and patterns of daily life.
To each individual, alternating between the public and private spheres shape the major scenes of daily life. Home, representing a private space, is strongly linked to one’s development and affects family members’ personalities, traits and gender roles on a daily basis, during which each member strives to find the value and meaning of their existence. After leaving home, everyone must pass through public spaces including city streets, schools and hospitals and walk by transportation vehicles and even gutter guards, where they stop in or stay for a while––which they take it for granted––before moving to next destination. People’s daily life is an entity comprising trivial persons and things they encounter, which will constantly proceed and accumulate. However, if we separate the said persons and things one by one, we will realize that people’s orientations either statically or dynamically interact with one another, ultimately shaping their perceptions of worldview, meaning of life or lifestyle at the present moment.
Serving as a platform for daily life reinterpretation and self-cognition establishment, this exhibition attempts to connect viewers’ life experiences through visual culture with three subthemes, namely “positioning”, “normality” and “gathering and dispersing”. The tour route on site allows visitors to appreciate the exhibits alternately at different distances and mentally perceive the surrounding physical environment, through which they can examine the roles they play as well as their relationships and interactions with others in daily life. Featuring works created by artists Chen Wan-ling, Chang Teng-yuan, Lai Chih-sheng, Huang Hai-hsin, Su Tsu-han, Yu Shih-fu, Lai Wei-yu, Li Cheng-liang, Wang Yu-song and Shi Meng-hsin regarding their care for and “biopsy” of daily life, the exhibition reveals “daily life orientations” formed in various spaces and times.
