As the core of the “Taiwan-Germany Printmaking Exchange Exhibition” project, the exhibition “From Residential Culture to Printmaking: Reinterpretation of Taiwanese Patterns” (Von der Wohnkultur zur Druckgrafik: Neuinterpretation taiwanischer Muster), initiated by Taiwan's Texture Printmaking Studio and Riesa Efau Culture Forum, will feature four Taiwanese artists and be exhibited from June 19 to July 11, 2026, at Riesa Efau Culture Forum (Venue: Runde Ecke) in Dresden, Germany.

Taiwan’s streets and alleys read like an open history book. The Dutch-era red-brick, Japanese-era Western-style façades, postwar modernist volumes, and the patterned floor tiles in nearly every household – these elements bear witness to the hybridity of Taiwan’s history.

Each of the four artists turns their gaze on a different layer of the built environment: Hsuan-Pei Lee treats façades as “historical portraits”; Yen-Jen Lee revisits the evolution of residential culture; Ting-Shiuan Wang captures buildings in a state of “continuous generation”; and Pei-Chen Wu collages Tainan’s streetscapes into a road that has never existed, yet brims with collective memory.

Both the exhibition and the workshop will be held at Runde Ecke. While the workshop has already been fully booked, we would still like to welcome you to come see the exhibition and join us in our interactive creative process.

-以版畫拆解台灣建築的混合（hybrid）身世-

「台德版畫交流展」計畫的核心活動，由台灣 Texture版畫工作室與德國德勒斯登的 riesa efau 文化中心發起、集結四位台灣藝術家的展覽《從居住文化到版印：台灣紋樣的重新詮釋》（Von der Wohnkultur zur Druckgrafik: Neuinterpretation taiwanischer Muster），將於2026年6月19日至7月11日在德國德勒斯登 riesa efau. Kultur Forum Dresden 旗下空間 Runde Ecke 展出。

台灣的街頭巷弄，是一部攤開的歷史。荷治時期的紅磚、日治時期的洋樓、戰後的現代主義立面，乃至家家戶戶腳下的花磚，這些在台灣日常並存於同一條街上的元素，正是台灣歷史混合性的印證。

四位參展藝術家各自剖開台灣建築的不同層次：李宣霈將立面視為「歷史的肖像」；李彥蓁從仿洋樓裝飾出發，結合音樂盒回望生活文化的變遷；王亭喧捕捉建築在使用中「持續生成」的狀態；吳沛宸則拼貼台南街景，重組出一條不曾存在，卻盛滿集體記憶的街道。

本展也讓觀眾親手參與創作。展覽期間，觀者可以現場挑選預先準備好的六塊母版，自行組合出屬於自己的花磚紋樣，並親手拓印成作品。一份由參與者帶回家收藏，另外一份可留在展牆展示，最後一份則由展方典藏留存，體現版畫「複數性」的精神。

本次計畫特別推出的「綠色永續咖啡絹印製版法與台灣花磚文化」工作坊，於德國當地報名系統開放當日即迅速額滿，展現了當地社群對台灣當代藝術的濃厚興趣。
