總部位於米蘭的國際知名藝術雜誌 Mousse在第 74 期發表對於台灣山海、歷史與藝術創作之間，如何交互連結的的綜觀，並映照出人類社會當下的普世行為。文章來自定居台北的 Robin Peckham ( Taipei Dangdai台北當代聯合總監)，揉合「在現場」與「文化不同源」的視角，在海洋史的向度上延展及連結思考。
「為了讀懂藝術家辯證台灣山海關係的作品，或是透過台灣來讀懂藝術與山海，我想到了兩種廣泛的分類及比喻：一種是發散、多向的思維，另一種是純物質的；一種是文化層面，另一種是生物性的；一種看向南方與東方，回溯政治策略與古航海家的路線，另一種則看進地球的深處，充分檢驗岩層的堅硬與海水的濕度。」
本篇論述了下列藝術家：
Meuko Meuko | NAXS corp. | #黃嘉俊 | #劉芸怡 | #倪灝 | #蔡佳葳 | #許家維 | #洪子建 | #區秀詒 | #張永達 | #蘇郁心 | #蘇匯宇 Su Hui-Yu | #吳其育 | 姚瑞中 Yao Jui chung | #羅智信 | #楊順發 | #盧昱瑞 | #林銓居 | #吳季璁 | #CemelesaiTakivalet #達給伐歷 | #AruwaiKaumaka #武玉玲
「如果說這篇文章道出了任何一種普世性，那即是以欲望為溫床、萌生於生態自然中的意識。山與海並不主動提供故事的素材，而是山海作為根本之物，成為被述說、被詮釋的對象。」

▍This Piece of Land, These Bits of Sea ▍
The 74th issue of Milan-based, internationally-renowned art journal Mousse
Magazine features a survey on the interrelationships of Taiwan’s land- and seascapes, history and artistic practices, while shedding light on current global human conditions. The article by Taipei-based Robin Peckham, Taipei Dangdai co-director, sets out from the realm of maritime history, intersecting the perspectives of the in-situ with culturally diverse lineages to bridge and extend such reflections.
"In attempting to read and understand works (like these) that engage the land-sea dialectic over and through Taiwan, I have come across two broad categories. One is discursive where the other is material; one is cultural where the other is biological. One looks south and east, following policy and retracing the routes of ancient seafarers, while the other looks down, testing out the hardness of rock and the wetness of water."
The article discusses works from the following artists:
Meuko Meuko | NAXS corp. | #HuangChiachun | #YunyiLiu | #NiHao | #CharweiTsai | #HsuChiaWei | #JamesTHong | #AuSowYee | #ChangYungTa | #SuYuHsin | #SuHuiYu | #WuChiYu | #YaoJuiChung |
#LuoJrShin | #YangShunFa | #LuYuJui | #LinChuanChu | #WuChiTsung | #CemelesaiTakivalet | #AruwaiKaumaka
“If there is a universalism to be discovered here, it is in the ecological nature of the consciousness that is created in this matrix of desires. Mountains and seas do not provide source matter for stories but rather become the very substrate of what can be said.“
