Abstract
In view of the increasing importance of artistic activities as a bridge of interpersonal communication that also influences the vitality and attractiveness of rural communities, this study aims to explore the models of exhibitions that enable the integration of art into environmental sustainability in rural communities on the basis of the theory of strategy pyramids. Firstly, case studies on rural art in Taiwan and Japan were presented. Then, in-depth interviews with experts were conducted to reflect on the strategies of art intervention in exhibitions and explore the methods of curation to propose the models of rural exhibitions. The results show: (1) Rural curation might undergo comprehensive consideration and rolling corrections based on the four strata of preliminary consideration, tactics, strategies, and operational plans. (2) The dimensions concerning the curating strategies from the four strata are the five ideas of curation from the perspective of preliminary consideration (communication with regional leadership for recognition, the integration of resources and funds, the operation of regional characteristics, friendly regional environments, and the joint engagement of regional residents). (3) The objective of curation from the perspective of strategies is the joint creation of a good rural living environment and the development of rural attractiveness, and the means and methods of exhibitions from the perspective of tactics are the ways of participatory design with an orientation to rural attractiveness in accordance with the seasonal environmental features. (4) The action plans of various dynamic or static exhibitions can be planned from the perspective of operational plans (such as art installations, life experience, ecological tours, production applications, fair events, trip passports, theme lectures, and propitious prayers in festivals and celebrations). Meanwhile, the integration of resources and the concerted efforts and benefit sharing between related parties in communities are important aspects of thinking for developing rural attractiveness. These two aspects are conducive to the sustainable development of rural communities.
