In contemporary art, texts are often reduced to a state of transition or bardo, hidden behind the artwork. Writing as a Method originated from confusion about this current situation. Ten artists from the region across various creative disciplines came together to form an artist collective, hoping to open up the realm of writing in artistic creation. Members regularly hold writing-based creative activities, following Oulipo's experimental tradition to develop their own Response Game: members exchange private notes, sketches, and thoughts reflecting on individual practices and works-in-progress. After drawing lots, they respond to each with diverse mediums including doodles, sounds, moving images, actions, and more. Artworks diverge from the original concept and grow into something new.
The collective exhibition presents a series of artworks in response to each other, revealing ten artists’ chaotic yet intertwined experimental processes. By juxtaposing archives of notes and drafts with newly developed artworks, the exhibition attempts to evoke the infinite possibilities of writing as a method, loosen the imagination of artworks from scratch, share experimental collaborative practices with the public, and stimulate more moments of communication and resonance.
當代藝術中，文字時常被簡化為一種中轉或中陰狀態出現，隱匿於作品背後。「書寫作為方法」始於對此現狀的困惑，聚集十位來自兩岸三地、橫跨不同創作領域的藝術家，組成藝術小組，期望開拓書寫在藝術創作中的界域。成員們定期舉行以書寫為基礎的創作活動，並沿著Oulipo的實驗傳統，發展出屬於自身的回應遊戲（Response Game）：成員們交換私密的筆記、草圖和想法，抽籤後，以不同的創作回應彼此。作品於是從原有想法中歧出，長成新的模樣。
藝術小組同名展覽展出一系列回應作品，呈現十位藝術家，無序又相互交織的實驗結果。透過並置草稿檔案與回應中產生的新作，展覽試圖召喚書寫作為方法的無限可能性，鬆動人們對作品從無到有的想像，與觀眾分享實驗性的創作方法，激發更多交流回應的瞬間。
