【作品介紹 Description】

嘉義自1938年「府展」，便有「畫都」之榮耀，而嘉美館則有重現藝術之都的責任，前身為市定古蹟「菸酒公賣局」，以創造藝術型態的都市地景為出發點，重新構思以人為本的藝術空間藍圖。將文化、藝術從美術館中延伸到戶外，在車水馬龍的大路旁塑造優雅的藝文饗宴空間。

嘉美館的廣場，如同都市的客廳，水滴般散落的石材座椅，高高低低的弧型座椅，隱晦出現在綠地邊緣，與植栽有著曖昧不明的關係。

櫸木林廣場疏密有致，排列出流動與停留的空間，做為進館前的重要里程，強調美術館前庭的主體性，常綠灌木、高草、四季草花，優雅又野放的原生植栽；夜間樹影打落地面，隨歷史洪流，觀看嘉義美術發展的歷程與轉化，藉著菸酒公賣局的軀體，傳唱著藝術的歌。

Since the “Government Art Exhibition” was first held in Chiayi in 1938, Chiayi has been known as the city of Paintings. Chiayi Art Museum, the renovation of the building of a Branch of the Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation, plays a role to restore the reputation of an art city. Based on creating an art city landscape, they replanned the traffic flow and connection with the square to present a people-oriented art space.

The square of the Chiayi Art Museum is like the living room of the city. The trees with drooping branches are arranged well to provide a space for leisure and a good traffic pattern, serving as an important connection between the exterior and interior of the museum. The beech square reveals the spatial capacity as well as makes a metaphor for the subjectivity of the entrance. At night, the native plants along with tall maple trees sway in the wind and cast leaf shadows on the ground, telling the story and transformation of art development in Chiayi. The building formerly known as the Branch of the Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corporation continues plays an important role in cultural inheritance.
