策展論述
楊芳宜與不廢跨村實驗室長期以再生藝術的實踐關注永續議題。他們的創作不僅限於視覺，而是一種身體性的社會行動，試圖在廢棄、閒置的物質中發掘新的可能性。此次展覽的主題《反義複詞與及物動詞》，正是對「廢⇄不廢」、「新⇄舊」、「聚⇄散」等概念的探討。
「反義複詞」指由兩個相對立但又彼此依存的詞彙構成的複詞，在語義上呈現出一種張力與辯證關係，正如環境永續與現代工業發展、消費與再生、速成與慢活之間的衝突與共存。楊芳宜與不廢跨村實驗室以「一體兩面」的視角，企圖反轉消亡與閒置，使其循環、再生，以「反義複詞」的型態向觀眾的慣性認知提問。
「及物動詞」則指的是有具體影響對象的動作，在這裡則引申為楊芳宜與不廢跨村實驗室的藝術實踐方式，他們的創作行動不只是美學的完成，更結合社會行動，企圖對環境做出具體的改變，「及物動詞」反映了藝術做為行動的積極性。
《反義複詞與及物動詞》以環保3R的理念，用通俗又優雅的詞語，做出既溫柔又堅定的提問，透過創作者的關懷與行動，誘發環境議題的深層感動與對話。
本次展覽作品集結創作者從2022年開始發展的《森塑大自然》與《客家山零食》系列，探討人與自然的共存關係，以其特有的創作手法，展現「廢」的美學可能性。新作《眾根計畫》與臺中特教學校、臺中啟聰學校、臺中啟明學校學生合作共創，藉植物根系的運作模式反映社會中個體與群體的互動關係以及與環境的連結狀態，透過特殊生獨特的感知方式詮釋心中的根系形態，以藝術創作搭建溝通的橋樑，表現「眾」的力量，也隱含「種」的精神。在意象上則連結臺中特有種瀕絕植物「大安水蓑衣」，饒富意義。
《反義複詞與及物動詞》不只是一場視覺藝術的展覽，也藉此進行了多層面的社會編織，讓藝術成為學習與社會參與的橋樑，更實踐了優質教育、責任消費與生產、永續城市與社區、氣候行動等SDGs 核心目標。

The Aura Shining through Tomorrow – SDGs Sustainability Art Special Exhibition Series──
《 Antonymous Compounds and Transitive Verbs 》
April 12 (Sat) – June 22 (Sun)
Dadun Gallery (VII),Taichung City Dadun Cultural Center
Artists: Yang Fang-Yi + BuFei Cross-Village Lab (Lin Tzu-Fen, Lin Chun-Tso, Peng Yu-Hung)
Curator: Chen Yi-Fan (Professor, Department of Fine Arts, National Changhua University of Education)
Yang Fang-Yi and the BuFei Cross-Village Lab have long focused on sustainability through the practice of regenerative art. Their work is not limited to visual aesthetics, but is instead a form of embodied social action—seeking to uncover new potential within abandoned or idle materials.
This exhibition, titled “Antonymous Compounds and Transitive Verbs,” explores concepts such as "waste ⇄ non-waste," "new ⇄ old," and "gathering ⇄ dispersing."
"Antonymous compounds" refer to compound words formed by two opposing yet interdependent terms, embodying a semantic tension and dialectical relationship.
These mirror the paradoxes between environmental sustainability and modern industrial development, consumption and regeneration, fast living and slow living. Through this lens of duality, the artists question habitual perceptions, aiming to reverse and reimagine the fate of the discarded, enabling cycles of reuse and rebirth.
"Transitive verbs," in grammatical terms, are actions that directly affect an object. Here, the term is extended to describe the artists' approach to art as direct action. Yang Fang-Yi and the BuFei Cross-Village Lab create work that is not only aesthetically complete but also deeply integrated with social engagement. Art, in this context, becomes an active verb—one that strives to make concrete changes in the environment.
“Antonymous Compounds and Transitive Verbs” is guided by the principles of the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), using language that is both accessible and poetic to ask gentle yet resolute questions. Through the artists’ care and actions, the exhibition sparks emotional and reflective conversations about pressing environmental issues.
The exhibition features works from two ongoing series—“Forest Plastic Nature” and “Hakka Mountain Snacks”—initiated in 2022, which explore the co-existence of humans and nature, and the aesthetic possibilities of “waste.” The new project, “The Rhizome Project,” is a co-creation with students from the Taichung Special Education School, Taichung School for the Hearing Impaired, and Taichung School for the Visually Impaired.
Inspired by the growth patterns of plant root systems, the project reflects the relationship between individuals and collectives, and their connections with the environment. The students used their unique sensory perceptions to interpret and visualize what “roots” mean to them, building a bridge of communication through artistic expression.
The project also symbolizes the power of the “many” and the spirit of “planting,” while conceptually linking to Elatine triandra, an endangered plant species native to Taichung—imbuing the work with deep local significance.
“Antonymous Compounds and Transitive Verbs” is not merely a visual art exhibition; it also weaves together multiple layers of social engagement. Through art, it fosters learning, participation, and dialogue—directly addressing several core SDGs, including Quality Education, Responsible Consumption and Production, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Climate Action.
