To introduce urban landscape aesthetics to the public, the Kaohsiung City Government Bureau of Cultural Affairs has hosted many creative installation art events, inviting the public to create art installations at Kaohsiung’s bus stops in order to turn the city into a creative stage for young artists and students.
“On a Verge of Critical Point”, a bus stop with a flock of pigeons gathered on the roof is one of these creative installations. After witnessing a large number of birds gathering at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center, a group of artists turned 350 lifelike pigeons into a feature presentation at the center’s bus stop. Seeing actual pigeons dispersed among artificial ones never fail to put a smile on people’s faces.
搭乘公車前往高雄文化中心，遠遠看見大群鴿子群聚於一座公車亭上，眼看公車亭屋頂即將被壓垮，這是怎麼回事呢！？ 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
別緊張，這是由蘇家賢、黃法誠、林建佑、林韋佑4位藝術家共同創作的文化候車亭《一種瀕臨臨界點的邂逅想像》。
為了打造城市景觀美學，高雄文化局曾辦理多屆公車候車亭創意裝置藝術徵件，讓城市成為新銳藝術家與學生創意發揮的舞台。
藝術家觀察到文化中心是大量鴿子聚集地，因此製作了多達350隻栩栩如生的鴿子。看到佔據候車亭的鴿子模型，再對照一旁真實的鴿子們，著實令人會心一笑。
除了這座鴿子公車亭外，還有其他由不同藝術家創作、造型各異的公車亭，你找到了幾座呢？
