From April to October 2020, I taught Exhibition Design at the Lanyang Museum in Yilan County. My students are volunteers of the museum who had no previous experiences in curating and producing an exhibition. The final project for this course is for the students to open an exhibition about the plants in the unique habitats in Yilan.
I teach alongside Han-Yau Huang and Shi-Jie Lee.
I'm in charge of teaching concept development and producing the actual exhibits. I received much support from both Han-Yau, who primarily teaches botany, and Shi-Jie, who works at Lanyang Museum and initiated this course.
One of the main exhibits is a map that requires identifiable graphics of the selected plants. The Museum acquired the rights to use the line drawings from published scientific literatures, and we taught the students to color these drawings to make the final graphics.
Furniture, display boxes, sound recordings and installations, and continuous collection of plant species according to display needs.
Testing the reflection box with a mirror and a cardboard box.
A display box for visitors to feel the texture of leaves made with laser-cut wood and gesso.
