許淑真、盧建銘Hsu, Su-chen & Lu, Chien-ming
得獎理由：
「植物新樂園:從菜園中誕生、河岸阿美的物質世界—許淑貞、盧建銘個展(策劃)」，在台灣藝術界帶出豐富的議題，他們以藝術家角色持續介入社會，將參與過程的各個面向加以藝術的整理，這種模式確實開拓了台灣藝術家角色的另一種定義。
而他們整個創作計畫與行動是極具企圖的，他們期待在台灣的中產品味之外，建構另一種品味體系，與阿美族群結合，使這個企圖更落實在實土環境中。 許淑貞、盧建銘和原住民部落合作，謹守藝術家本份的參與，在阿美族傳統文化和藝術家角色中，他們也建立了漢人參與原民社會的一種模式。
從藝術的角度來說，他們這種小屋形式的作品也創造出了很獨特的空間，能刺激當代藝術領域關於裝置藝術的新的可能性。這件作品以非常人性以及文化性的角度探索了居住空間、生活方式、建築以及人類所真實生存的世界，並且對不同的文化場域提供豐富的知識。
這個展覽也明朗化了台灣藝術上「本土、國際」的長期議題，這個完全「本土」的展覽，是自然的存在當下的國際藝術脈絡的，就此，也可望為台灣藝術界的國際想像，表達另一種可能。
The project brings up abundant issues for the art community in Taiwan. As artists, Hsu and Lu continue to get involved in the society and have combed every aspects of their involvement in forms of art. This form, definitely, explores a new definition to the roles Taiwan artists play.
The whole creation plan and the activity of theirs, however, is very ambitious, and they want to construct a new system of “taste” that is different form the mainstream middle-class taste in Taiwan; this new system can be integrated with Amis people and realize their ambition in the actual environment. While cooperating with an indigenous village, Hsu and Lu keep fulfilling their duties as artists. They have also established a model for Han people to be able to participate in indigenous society with the roles they are playing in Amis traditional culture as artists.
From an artistic point of view, they created a quite unique aspect of space in their cottage-like work. It will stimulate the new possibility of the installation in the field of contemporary art. It explores questions as habitat, way of living, architecture and actual world for people in a very human and cultured ways. It supposes a wide knowledge in different fields of culture.
The exhibition also clarifies a long-discussed issue of Taiwan art, which is “Local vs. International”. This “local” exhibition can actually be presented in the current international artistic context naturally. Therefore, a new possibility for Taiwan art’s international imagination is emerged.

Jury’s Comment for the Jury’s Special Award Winner
2009年臺北藝術節 -- 迷幻英雌Heroine
蘇文琪Su ,Wen-Chi
得獎理由：
『迷幻英雌』強烈展示了關於藝術本質的思考，從身體、時間、空間的思考面向，向表演者自身及觀眾同時提問。
表演者具有極大動能，在有限制的條件下，創造了極大表現，黑暗中持續進行的演出為舞蹈呈現了罕有的視覺及聽覺感受。
長達六十分鐘不間斷的獨人表演，讓觀眾體驗到當下到遙遠世紀的存在感，表演的細節在時間的長度裡堆疊累積，同時爆發能量。
蘇文琪的作品不僅風格強烈、形式獨特，而且展示了未來創作高度的預期性。其所意欲探索與發展的主題，勢必被持續關注與期待。
“Heroine” has demonstrated the contemplation of the essence of art and strongly proposed the question from physical, temporal, and spatial aspects both to the performer herself and the audience.
Su, the dancer, has intense dynamic power and has created the maximum impact out of limited resources. Her continuous performance in the darkness has presented a rare visual and acoustic experience of dance.
The 60 minute long solo dance enables the audience to experience a sense of existence from the current state to the distant centuries of the future. All the details are accumulated through the length of the performance with explosive energy.
Su’s work not only has a strong personal style and unique form, but also demonstrates huge possibilities for her future creations. Whatever are the themes that she wants to explore and develop in the future will definitely become the centre of attention and expectation.
