Initiated by the senior artist WU Mali and Margaret SHIU, director of Bamboo Curtain Studio, the project endeavored to investigate the potential of cultural action and thus generated a new genre of public art through interdisciplinary collaboration in dialogue with local residents, the public sector and professionals in the field. Through extended activities, such as breakfast gatherings, trekking around the creek, and community theatre, the long-term project has awaken the memories and environmental consciousness about a river that has been severely polluted, distorted and covered up. In addition, the project also produced a well-researched catalogue, documenting its various phases and complexities. The fact that the project has already aroused attentions from various governmental agencies also proves its potential to become an encouraging case study for other practitioners and communities that confront similar conditions. The jury therefore unanimously selected "Art as Environment -- A Cultural Action at the Plum Tree Creek" as the recipient of the 11th Taishin Arts Award.
