When Freedom Blooms into Dance

Date: 2024.08.31 SAT- 2025.08.31 SUN

Creative Team: Ling-Li Tseng x Serendipity Studio

The “Off-Site Project” as a long-term artistic practice, is launched and run by Jut Art Museum. This project invites artists to create on atypical exhibition sites instead of in established venues of museums, whereby they can liberate themselves from spatial and institutional limitations, and meanwhile define the term “off” through their unique practices.

For the 2024 Off-Site Project “When Freedom Blooms into Dance” Jut Art Museum collaborates with artist Ling-Li Tseng and the design studio Serendipity Studio. Set within the bright, high-ceilinged hall of a corporate building characterized by its linear and logical design, this project prompts a re-evaluation of the intersections between “space and freedom,” “public and private areas,” and “control and open exploration.”

By disrupting existing spatial designs and functional sections, Tseng and Serendipity Studio infuse the space with a fluid, sensory language, pushing the boundaries of spatial constraints and challenging the extremes of free movement within a limited environment.

When Freedom Blooms into Dance reimagines and duplicates the images of railings –typically employed to demarcate and control public and private areas – enlarging and flipping them to break through their given function within a limited spatial framework. By transforming these graphic, two-dimensional metallic lines into dynamic, three-dimensional sculptures, the project invigorates and redefines their original purpose while challenging the existing, fixed atmosphere of a space. This work invites a reflection on the delicate balance between limitation and freedom within architectural spaces, encouraging viewers to reconsider the interplay between restriction and liberation.
