園區內永遠充滿驚叫與歡笑聲的能量，興奮的孩子與疲累的家長們穿梭在不同程度老舊的遊樂器。這是一個位在城市邊緣，被發臭的河道與紊亂的高架橋包圍的兒童樂園。72年的歲月，它仍持續分享著不同世代市民的童年記憶。
站在據說曾經是體育館或游泳池的荒廢露天「多功能廣場」上，眼前是巨大的高架道路，耳後傳來微弱的兒歌童謠與孩子的笑聲，這裡彷彿是被遺棄的虛空、不應該被瞥見的後台空間，曾經發生過的一切事件連同記憶似乎連夜逃走什麼也不剩。

王德瑜的《No. 57》，以一種熟悉的聲音（健身操音樂），帶著整齊劃一的動作（健身操），探討人們對空間和身體的記憶。六、七○年代，物資匱乏，這處公營的兒童樂園曾是市民的‘遊樂場’，不分老少，全家集體出遊，也是年輕人‘相遇’的社交場所。「多功能廣場」曾經是體育館與游泳池的舊址，藝術家選擇這處被遺忘的地點，用國民健身操作為媒介，揭露人們對空間的記憶；同時，藉由集體的身體經驗辯證個人對此空間的定位。

Calisthenics No. 57

An amusement park is eternally filled with the energy of excited voices and happy laughter. Thrilled children and tired parents wander around among the rides, which are all aging to one degree or another. This is an amusement park on the edge of the city, hemmed in between an odoriferous river and a clamorous overhead expressway. Seventy-two years old, it still continues to share the childhood memories of different generations of Taipei people.

In the derelict, open-air “multipurpose plaza,” what rears up before one’s eyes is the enormous overhead expressway, while children’s songs and children’s voices drift softly to one’s ears. This place seems to be an abandoned, empty, back-stage space that ought not be seen. Everything that happened here in the past, even the memories, seems to have vanished, leaving nothing behind.

Wang Te-yu’s “No. 57” uses a sound familiar to all Taiwanese (schoolyard calisthenics music) that prompts orderly, uniform movement (calisthenics) to explore people’s spatial and bodily memories. During the 1960s and 1970s, when Taiwan was lacking in material possessions, this government-run amusement park was a playground of the people. Whole families came here together, young and old alike. It was also a place of social interaction where youths would often meet. In the “multipurpose plaza,” this forgotten locale that was once the site of a gymnasium or a swimming pool, the artist intends to use the bodily actions of members of the public as a medium to reveal people’s memories of spaces, and at the same time to determine people’s definitions of this space through collective bodily experience.
