| Origin – Railroad Storage |
|
In 1998, the central office of the Cultural
Affairs Bureau the Executive Yuan proposed to complete
the “railroad arts network” that has been reconstructed
from the cargo storages of 8 western railway stations
within 5 years, and Chiayi station had originally ranked
at the 4 th position of the original plan. The Cultural
Affairs Bureau originally wished the city to react
to the plan earlier, so it entrusted “YoYehLin Art
Creative Studio” for planning and implementation. Beginning
in August 1999, it started to rent a private storage
of 55 pings, and it had been trailed a year in July
2000. After different artists or groups stationing
at this place every month, it provided many young creators
a chance innovating new style of arts. It was therefore
chosen as the second “railroad art website”, second
to the 20 th storage of Taichung .
In addition to connecting with other cities of “railroad
arts network” in the future, and jointing with Alishan
railroads and gardens that nearby the Cultural Affairs
Bureau, we aim to continually create accomplishments
of modern arts development on Chinan plain. The dream
of making Chiayi an arts city has gradually come
true. We wish to attract more outstanding local talents
coming back to hometown to create an elegant and
wonderful living environment of arts.

When the former Taiwan provincial
government begun to plan “railroad arts network project”
in 1999, Chiayi was positioned as a city of art & culture.
For the sake of the former mayor Pao-ya Chang's great
supports and artists' active participation, Chiayi
launched an alternative space exhibition at the Wanshan
storage, where is a storages chain behind the railroad
station that left unused, and it opened a new art
land that differed from palace exhibitions. It has
become the first activity space in Taiwan where employed
railroad storage. In July 2000, when the Cultural
Affairs Bureau the Executive Yuan was looking for
the second network spot, under mayor Li-jen Chen's
notice and emphasis, Chiayi's outstanding performance
has finally been discovered. It stood out of the
five counties & cities that competed at that
time, and became the second largest railroad arts
network of the nation that was second to the 20 th
storage of Taicahung. |
| Paihsing street , the major entrance & exit
of entering railroad storage, was originally called
Peikong car head. In the early stage during Taiwan
's recovery, this place had become the cargo transportation
center because of storage. Through the railways to
transport the large amount of commodities, such as
concrete, coals, woods, and food, the train transported
commodities and loaded here, and then the trucks or
cattle trucks transported them out to other places. |
