摘要

九零年代，策展概念引入臺灣，爾後便快速發酵成長，蔚為風潮。雖策展概念對於推動臺灣藝術環境帶來多元助力；但隨其發展，各界亦出現多樣的討論分析。其中，學術研究大多環繞公部門與民間策展組織雙方合作過程中之衝突探究；針對民營藝術策展公司本身提出研究者尚屬少數。然臺灣的藝術圈當中，「藝術策展公司」實以中介者的形式，發揮重要影響力並主導著許多藝文活動，但同時也因其營利的背景，使策展公司在藝文圈之中成為特立份子。故藝術策展公司如何興起於臺灣文化環境；而其於文化產製中扮演角色和價值定位為何；以及它們對外公私組織間的互動關係，與營利企業的商業考量是否可能使臺灣藝術發展產生質變，皆是本文欲探究之重點。

因此，本文試以「文化中介者」觀點思索臺灣藝術策展公司的定義與定位，並以橘園國際藝術策展公司為研究個案，透過相關資料收集、參與觀察及質性訪問等方式，瞭解研究個案所承辦之各項活動，從而分析該公司與外部環境組織形成之文化中介的互動關係形式。並藉「中介性」、「創作性」與「守門機制」等論點分析，橘園藝術策展公司於臺灣文化產製系統中之定位與意義，做為分析藝術策展公司如何以「文化中介者」的互動模式發展於臺灣藝術文化環境之中。

最後本研究期望能夠藉對橘園國際藝術策展公司的個案分析梳理台灣「藝術策展公司」的定義、現況與定位，並見微知著地對臺灣策展公司提出省視與後續相關研究之建議。期能提供臺灣文化中介體系建立更為完善版圖，整合藝術策展專業資源及各單位建立合作關係之參考。

Ever since the concept of curatorship was introduced to Taiwan in the 90’s, it developed rapidly and quickly became a popular trend. This concept helped promote the art environment in Taiwan in multiple ways. However, a variety of discussions and analysis emerged among various circles as the concept developed. Among which academic research mostly focused on the conflicts caused from cooperation between public sectors and non-governmental curatorial organizations. Only a few pertained to local art curatorial companies. In the art circles of Taiwan, “art curatorial companies” became an important influence and a leading role in many art and cultural activities in the form of intermediaries. However, due to their profitable background, curatorial companies have also become a loner among art circles. Thus, the focus of this study is to discuss how art curatorial companies rose and developed in the cultural environment in Taiwan, the roles these companies play in cultural production and where their values lie, the interactive relationship between art curatorial companies and public and private organizations, and whether they, along with the business considerations of profitable corporations, may cause a change of nature in the development of art in Taiwan.

Therefore, this study speculates the definition and orientation of art curatorial companies in Taiwan from the perspective of cultural intermediaries using L’orangerie International Art Consultant as the subject. Related data were collected, and participant observation and qualitative interviews were adopted to understand the various activities hosted by subjects to further analyze the interactive relationship of cultural intermediaries formed by the company and external environment of organizations. Furthermore, “intermediateness”, “creativeness”, and “gatekeeping mechanism” were adopted for analysis. The orientation and meaning of L’orangerie International Art Consultant in the cultural production system of Taiwan were employed to analyze how art curatorial companies adapt and develop in the art and cultural environment in Taiwan using the interaction of cultural intermediaries.

Finally, this study hopes to investigate the definition, current condition, and orientation of art curatorial companies in Taiwan using the case analysis of L’orangerie International Art Consultant. From the observation of the gradual development of curatorial companies, careful examination was carried out and suggestions for related research in the future were proposed. The purpose is to provide a reference for cultural intermediairies in establishing a more complete domain, integrate professional art curatorial resources, and for various units in building a cooperative partnership.
