The 6th Floor is a temporary, site-specific sculptural intervention created in dialogue with the architecture of the Waley Art Gallery building. The gallery occupies an old Taiwanese residential structure, narrow and five stories tall. The work, installed on the top (5th) floor just beneath the exposed roof, can only be reached if the visitor decides to climb the steep, narrow staircase through all five levels. The sculpture peers through the grid of missing ceiling panels, as if trying to escape its confined environment. It both supports and holds the structure, while at the same time attempting to free itself from it. It stretches upward toward the sky, reaching for an imaginary sixth floor. The work is made from reused materials taken from past art projects by students of the Taipei National University of the Arts. Collected from the university’s trash bins, these fragments carry material and time traces (writing marks, spray paint, paper notes) and will be returned to the trash bins once the exhibition ends.
