展覽介紹
內惟藝術中心北側,跨過馬路即為北高雄最知名的公有鼓山第三市場,當地人暱稱內惟市場。這裡不僅是鼓山一帶的居民採買日常食物的地方,更是高雄在地饕客的最愛。僅市場一處,即有遠近知名的各式美食,滿足一家老小的胃。
藝術家程仁珮出生於外省家庭,自小在三民市場走動的她,對於市場並不陌生。 2014 年獲選為文化部法國巴黎駐村期間,以《你的料理,我的食譜》開始以食物為媒介,探討飲食背後的國族、文化、記憶與家庭的關聯。
「親愛的,我在市場有一個舞台」為一個長達半年的藝術計畫,深度採訪 4 組內惟市場攤商:葉文朗先生、林采憶小姐、南小姐與許東榮先生;完成 4 幅作品《甜蜜蜜》、《香噴噴》、《酸溜溜》、《鹹津津》及公開播映紀錄片。展覽名稱源自藝術家對市場、對攤販的抒情想像:擁有個人特色的攤商,在攤位上的么喝、穿著、與買者的說話方式,不就像舞台演出嗎?

Hi, I have a stage in the market.
Supported by: Ministry of Culture and Bureau of Cultural Affairs, Kaohsiung City Government
Organized by: Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts Artist: Cheng Jen Pei
Exhibition Title: Hi, I have a stage in the market.
Exhibition Venue: Neiwei Arts Center (Address: 329 Makadao Road, Gushan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan (R.O.C.))

About the Exhibition
To the north of the Neiwei Arts Center, on the other side of the road is the Gushan Third Market, which is the best-known publicly owned market in northern Kaohsiung and locally known as Neiwei Market. It is not only a place where residents around Gushan buy everyday foods, but also the local foodies’ favorite market in Kaohsiung. In this market, you can find a diversity of famous tasty foods to satisfy the appetites of all your family members.
The artist Cheng Jen Pei was born in a family which immigrated to Taiwan from mainland China around the end of World War II. Having been frequenting Sanmin Market since her childhood, Cheng is no stranger to the market. In 2014, she was selected by the Ministry of Culture as an artist in residency in Paris, France. During the period of residency, with the Your Cuisine My Recipe art project, she started to use food as a medium to explore the connections among nation, culture, memory, and family behind food.
Hi, I have a stage in the market is an art project lasting half a year, in which deep interviews were conducted with four vendors in the Neiwei Market: Mr. Yeh Wen-Lang, Ms. Lin Tsai-Yi, Ms. Nan, and Mr. Hsu Tung-Jung. Four works—Sweet, Fragrant, Sour, and Salty—and a documentary for public viewing have been completed. The title of the exhibition originates from
 
the artist’s lyrical imagination about the market and the vendor: A vendor who hawks goods, wears clothes, and talks to buyers in his/her own style is just like an actor on the stage, isn’t he/she?
About the Artist
Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1983, Cheng Jen Pei usually makes art in the form of participatory art. While being an artist in residency in Finland, the United States, Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, etc., she presented exhibition and performance projects based on different food cultures in different places. In recent years, Cheng has begun to be concerned about the new forms of fusion and development of food cultures in the movement of people.
