島民工作室於2006年4月成立，由一群從事藝術與設計相關工作成員組成，主要以結合藝術、設計、人文與生活為發展方向。身為藝術家、設計師與都市律動的觀察者，遊走於世界各城市島嶼與台灣之間、穿梭於各種不同形式空間，參與、思考並觀察台灣島的文化與社會脈動，從中找尋新創意、新概念，用以創造現代都會生活中，愉悅、舒適、富美感的氛圍與環境。「島民」以台灣今日文化與生活形式為起點，探討現代島民生活特色。島民的創意空間，為當代藝術創作、書寫、及生活設計品的設計提供了一個互動交流的平台，嘗試在藝術與創意實踐間參與、反思、並創造新一代的島民生活經驗。
About Islanders Studio
Established in April 2006, the Studio is made of a team of members specialized in art and design related areas. The shop front has been newly opened on the 12th May, 2007. The chief goal of the Studio is to combine art, design, and literature with life style.
As artists, designers and urban observers, we journeyed among islands of urban metropolises, among spaces of different kinds. We think, observe, and participate in the cultural and social pulses of Taiwan and of the world – that very pulse through which creativity and the new ideas of urban life effuse.
The cultures of metropolitan islands provide our base to explore the characteristics of islander and global life styles. Through our explorations we strive to create a way of life suffused with pleasure, comfort, style and creativity.
We are inspired by contemporary culture and life in Taiwan and explore the characteristics of modern life of the world. The creative space of Islanders provides a platform for the interaction between contemporary art, writing and design. It attempts to reflect islanders’ experience between art and practices and to create the art of our generation.
