铁道艺术网络 ________闲置空间的再造
将闲置的台铁建筑物(大部分为仓库)重新打造而成的一系列艺文空间。
如果以台北为起点，顺着时针往东岸方向开始这个铁路旅程，最先抵达的是台东、接着下来是枋寮、嘉义、台中，最后是新竹。台东铁道艺术村是铁道艺术网络五大站里面占地最大的一个，也是离火车站最远的。因为她基本上是由位于台东市区内的台东旧火车站变身而成，而新站距离市区之远，实在只能以莫名其妙四个字来形容。



275仓库____外墙被拆掉后留下的骨架
艺术村共保留了三栋仓库，275是这一栋原来的门牌地址号码。

261仓库_____local artworks on exhibition

台东铁道艺术村提供艺文空间之余，更大程度上是个铁道文物馆。
全台湾唯一保留下来的古董转车盘，就在这里。

机关库________日治时期，火车头被称为“机关车”。
“机关库”即每班回返火车站的火车头进行维修和保养工作的地方。

introducing... another piece by taiwanese architect 陈冠华

沙。漠。风。情



“沙漠风情”这个名字似乎有点对不起这件作品。

利落的线条加上signature的unfinished水泥墙，
这栋建筑确实透着些许“沙漠”应该有的孤冷气质。
但是，搭上“风情”二字... 太娇情了吧。

去的时候正值冬末。春夏的时候，攀附在
墙上的藤蔓转绿了，沙漠风情就会换上另
一种面貌。时间就这样慢慢慢慢地，在水
泥墙上累积她的经过。



右边离得比较远的那栋才是沙漠风情。靠近
镜头的是沙漠的主人___高小姐的朋友后来
请陈冠华以相同概念设计的另一栋房子。

the other house that belongs to a friend of 沙漠's owner.
probably how 沙漠 looked like when it was first built.

mug-ful wall

each and every mug is a unique piece created by the pottery-loving house owner who, judging from the entries in the guest books, hardly appears before her visitors. very elusive if you ask me. the house has been built such that the visitor block is independent of the houseowner's, complete with a kitchen, living area and all. all visitors are greeted and taken care of by her assistant 阿拙.

说真的，at one point我想起了pscyho那部电影。自己吓自己___也许神秘的“传说中”那位高小姐根本就不存在；又或者她早就被外表看起来没有什么杀伤力的管家怎么样了... 你看那屋外，草丛密布... 呵呵。
(阿拙请不要介意我的想象力。其实你人很好啦，请我吃大包的美味饼干不说，还送我水果带在路上吃）
