展覽敘述：

「一天夜裡，我置美於膝上，我苦戀著她，也糟蹋著她。」，韓波

中途之家
最近為了要給出獄的人準備一個家，主管人士在宣佈的佈置原則中說：「我們打算把它美化，因為美很重要。美可以讓人知道自己是受到重視的。」
康德則繼續說道，「對於美的判斷，人同此心，普世皆然，也就是說，每個人都是一樣的」。從這個觀點來看，濫用美乃是一種牴觸道德的象徵性作為，
因此，實際上也抵觸了人性。韓波在之後的詩中描述自己所付出的代價，承認自己的罪惡之後，馬上接著說：「過去，我是在武裝自己跟天理作對。」
《美的再濫用》一詞竄用丹托“美的濫用”書名，當然我也引用的部分的內文作以渲染我們追求美與美化空間的正當性。丹托將藝術擴充出美的限範，
而後美也繼續被真正的濫用。
而我必須再宣言：「我真的是正當的，這裡並不是公有空間，它們不足一提的歷史必被抹除才是，那些試圖談論它們的使者不過出於難改的信仰，
我們有更偉大的任務要作，我是藝術家、理論研究者、社會運動者，空間改造者、都市更新者，我是正當的，是的，我將改造並使用它，而我真的不
打算談論它們。」

Concept:

“One night, I placed beauty on my knees- I pursued her, and at the same time I ravished her.”---Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud later described the price he paid for his sin, admitted that his crime was 'to arm himself and fight against Justice/Nature/God'.

The 're-abuse of beauty' came from Arthur Danto's book 'The Abuse of Beauty', which of course will be quoted to strengthen our legitimacy of
the pursuit of beauty and of beautifying such space. Danto expands art outside the framework of beauty, thus beauty is continuously being abused.

I would also like to make my annoucement: ths space is not owned by the public, the insignificant history should be waived from the context.
Those messengers who intend to address it only do so due to the deep rooted belief in their minds. I am an artist, a theorist, a social activist,
a space reformer, and an urban regenerator. I am the legitimate user and reformer of this space, but I have no intention to address it.
