taipei-based InFormat design is a firm dedicated to the curation of exhibitions, project planning, visual design urban issue research, and multimedia installation production. ‘OCTAPHILOSOPHY™’ is an extended touring project from the latest same-titled book by chef andré chiang released in 2016. this publication is not only a model that applies to cooking, but also a thread in creative thinking. debuted in taiwan, the exhibition invites eight interdisciplinary creative artists to interpret eight different aspects in OCTAPHILOSOPHY™ with their own media. this includes architecture, ceramics, industrial, graphic, floriculture, illustration, printing and visual arts, to represent three concepts in new ways: origin, essence, and process. guided by spatial and visual experiences, humanity and artworks interconnect and inspire views to reconfigure the show.

InFormat design installed the artworks in serenity, accompanied by eight large-sized images representing the theme of the book, as well as eight artist’s portraits hung from the ceiling. eight book slipcase designs in three dimensions correspond with eight aspects. we the visitors walk in between, linear threads stretches and form inner walls. foregrounds and backgrounds can be seen at the same time. this arrangement shifts the understanding of space as ‘we start with words refined from life and condense our thoughts, to expand connections through diverse creative methods.’

 

you can read the exhibition book here.
