展覽介紹｜　
藝術家林育正探索日常生活的空間角落，使用自製水泥模組、馬達、人造絨布與羊毛來組成轉動不休、絮語連綿的物件裝置。此次展出近十年來的機械構成，揉合成實驗的黑箱場域，期待開啟親密、啟疑竇而富感受的空間體驗。

「方體演算」打造微型劇場，物體在空間中持續戲耍、晃動，方體猶如舞台。從城市生活角落四處搜集而來的零件（公共水道孔蓋、管線、柱、牆、門把、開關、磚……等）被送入框架，它們被壓制在水泥液體中轉變為固態，團塊看似停滯而具惰性，卻在馬達的反覆敲擊聲中，重新炫耀著生機。此次個展新作大多來自過去小型創作的拆除與重構，藝術家使物件脫離居家、實用等脈絡、進入新的體系來訴說故事。元件經清洗、分類、組合並以新的身份復活，這種「再生術」隱含著對日常進行嚴肅思考的意圖。

「方體演算」隸屬於自明的系統模組，箱中物互相關連，展現運作獨立而線性關聯的產出與系統運作。「方體」(Cuboid) 不僅是創作元素，也是一種思考方法：方體結構的箱，模塊化連接並收容著概念；「演算」(Calculation)意指 「將輸入值轉換為單一或多個結果」，呼應藝術家利用水泥組裝各式各樣的元件，物與概念的串聯過程，有如找尋一最終的解答。此展試圖揭示藝術家透過某些計算而形成系列的抽象集體。

在本次展出中，藝術家使用建築工地常見的鷹架來置放「方體」。許多作品刻意地朝下放置，或是抬高至超過一般人眼睛的高度，藉聲響與箱中光線來吸引觀眾，俯身走進鷹架，或者讓人登上階梯去查驗作品。這迂迴離心的展示途徑，產生的裝置美學使觀眾自由詮釋作品。若說藝術家是產出模組的技術士，觀眾就是前來驗證的檢查員，這是場神秘的訪查。
​
本展主題聚焦於藝術創作過程，「方體運算」意寓著藝術家獨自進行、透過設定框架不斷尋找結果的行動。此創作行動始於觀察、收集、符號化、模組操作作為模型，甚至也鋪陳了其中功敗垂成的場景。劇場化的展示與收藏狀態帶來觀看的樂趣，也可見藝術家以空間元素的掌控來表達他對當代城市的感受。我們透過理性的起點，見證藝術家的創作感性與其內部重構的行動，邀請觀眾思考藝術的功能，以及如何以主觀賦予物件生命，在內在空間中持續前進的動力。

Introduction｜　
LIN Yu-Cheng explores the corners of everyday life, using hand-made cement modules, motors, artificial fabric and wool to create installations that endlessly rotate and murmur. This new exhibition shows a series of mechanical compositions made in the past ten years, presenting an experimental field, a black box, that opens up an alienated space providing an experience that is intimate, arouses suspicion and engages the senses.
" Calculation in Cuboid" is a miniature theater where quotidian objects juggle and sway in boxes as if on the stage . The separate parts - manhole covers, pipes, columns, walls, door handles, switches, bricks – have been collected from the urban environment, set in frames, and turned into parts of a solid mass with cement. Seemingly stagnant and inert, these elements retain their vitality amid the repeated percussive operation of the motors. Many of the works in this solo exhibition have been reconstructed from older pieces, as the artist reconfigures his components as parts of a new system away from that of utility and a domestic context in order to weave new stories. As found objects that have been cleaned, classified, combined and then resurrected with new identities, this "regeneration technique" demonstrates a serious intention to rethink the everyday.
The modules of " Calculation in Cuboid " are a self-explanatory system, with objects in boxes relating to each other, showing a system that operates independently and is linearly related. "Cuboid" not only refers to the geometric elements, but also to a way of thinking: a box of a cubic structure, modularly connected and containing multiple concepts. "Calculation" can mean "convert input values into single or multiple results", and this echoes the artist's use of cement to assemble and combine the different components. This creative process of connecting objects and concepts is similar to discovering an overall solution, and this exhibition reveals the abstract collections formed from certain calculations by the artist.
The "cuboids" are installed on customized scaffolds similar to those on building sites, with many works deliberately placed upside down, or raised above eye level, to attract the viewer by their noise and the shimmering lights in the boxes. The viewer is invited to lean over the scaffolding, or climb a ladder to inspect the works, an installation aesthetic that decenters the viewer allowing a freedom of interpretation. If the artist is a technician who produces the module, the viewer is an inspector who comes to verify the works through a secret visit.
The theme of this exhibition is the process of artistic creation, and " Calculation in Cuboid " shows the artist's individual actions and his continuous search for results using many frameworks and settings. This creative action begins with observation, collection, symbolization, and the use of modules, these models sometimes laying out scenes of failure. Displayed as a theater and collection, the work is visually pleasing, and equally shows a feel for contemporary urban life with the control of the spatial elements. From a rational starting point, we witness the artist's creative input and the actions of internal reconstruction. The viewer is invited to think about the functions of art, think of how to subjectively give life to objects, and of the motivation for progress in inner space.
