臺北市藝文場所轉變的空間政治：基礎設施化的視角

Spatial Politics in the Transformation of Art and Culture Venues in the Taipei City: An Infrastructurization Perspective

本文以文化基礎設施及其構成之領域化、部署、紋理和皺褶等概念，解說臺北市藝文場所的空間政治。參照戰後迄今臺北市文化治理邏輯的變遷，作者首先歸納藝文場所的發展趨勢：（1）建築形式從中華傳統轉變為現代主義風格，再擴展到閒置空間再利用脈絡下的歷史樣式與在地形式；（2）空間分布從城市舊核心往郊區及東區擴展；（3）經營形式由國家主導的專用館舍，轉變為民間創制的替代性藝文空間及委外營運的公私協力架構；（4）與周遭街區的關係，從疏遠區隔轉變為貼近雜混；（5）地方意義與功能定位逐漸從作為品味區劃場域、文化物神及展演地景，轉化為經濟舞臺與公共領域，從而展望其皺褶異托邦的特質。接著，作者以實際案例討論不同藝文場所的特徵，包括依憑領域化邏輯的大型場館、轉生再部署的歷史建築再利用，以及既有紋理中冒現的皺褶擾動；它們共同構成文化治理的空間政治動態。作者主張，相較於興建大型地標館舍，都市文化治理需要容許更多激發可能性的皺褶，鋪展出基礎設施化的文化生活網絡。

This article expounds on the spatial politics of the art and cultural venues in Taipei City through notions of territorialization, deployment, texture and folding which constitute cultural infrastructurization. We illustrate several dimensions of the evolution of these spaces: (1) The architectural forms of these spaces have shifted away from Chinese orthodoxy to modernist style, and then to styles specific to historical periods and places, as shown by the adaptively reused spaces; (2) The state firstly dominated the management of the early function-specific spaces, yet new alternative spaces tend to depend on bottom-up initiation, as well as public-private partnerships on a contract-out basis; (3) Art and cultural spaces of the early period aggregated at the old city center, but gradually new ones have appeared in the suburbs and the eastern district; (4) The relationship between the spaces and their surroundings are becoming more crisscrossed and intimate rather than alienated; (5) While the meanings and functions of these spaces were firstly more about arenas of taste differentiation, cultural fetishes, and performative landscape, increasingly they have become an economic stage or public sphere, and as a result an folding heterotopia. The authors then discuss different cases to embody the aforementioned traits: the flagship facilities that go with explicit territorialized logics, the adaptively reused historical buildings under redeployment that witness a reincarnation, and the foldings that stir the given textures. These different cases together embody the dynamics of the spatial politics of cultural governance. The authors argue that, rather than focusing on landmark flagship facilities, urban cultural governance should give more tolerance to foldings that tend to trigger possibilities, and that, by doing so, an infrastructurized network of cultural life might come into being.
