露露藝品社 LuluGoods
2021-2024
露露藝品社是一間全方位的藝品公司。主要販售陶瓷玩偶,節慶禮品,從開發到量產、行銷、銷售,所有事項一手包辦,經過無數年仍然是藝品界的龍頭。
早期台灣代工產業發達,曾經量產過一批卡通造型的動物擺飾,材質以陶瓷及石膏為主,隨著產業型態的轉變,盛極一時的外銷產業也隨之沒落,這些過氣的動物被遺留在不顯眼的歷史角落。藝術家透過一間假想的「露露藝品社」,重新去回溯整個產業的故事,從如何生產開始,發展一系列關於成功培育品種動物的經驗,以此建構一個虛擬的生產線,在這個敘事裡量產動物藝品對應著育種,經過一連串嘗試及修正,為的是從中精煉出最優秀的動物擺飾,並主張「一個完美的家不能沒有藝品」,這是一個理想的家庭生活典範,用幽默詼諧的口吻,闡述一段無法被驗證的想像。
LULUGOODS is an all-rounded artifacts company that specializes in the sale of ceramic figurines and festival gifts. From development to mass production, marketing, and sales, it covers all operations of its merchandise. After countless years, it remains in the lead in the industry.
During the heyday of Taiwan's OEM industry, cartoon animal figurines were manufactured in a significant proportion, primarily using ceramics and plaster. However, as the industrial ecology in Taiwan transformed, the once thriving export enterprises declined, leaving these outdated animals relegated to obscure historical corners. Through an imaginary entity called "LULUGOODS", the artist revisits the entire industry's story, tracing back to its origins. Starting from the methods of producing, the artist developed a series of narratives, which constructs a virtual production line where mass-producing animal artworks parallels breeding. After undergoing trials and adjustments, the artist refines the finest animal ornaments, advocating that "a perfect home cannot be without animal figurines." "LULUGOODS" serves as an ideal model of family life, presented in a humorous tone, illustrating an unverifiable imagination.
