關於「游移美術館」計畫 ~
21年前的臺灣，畫廊裡交易的全是名家畫作，當時由一群熱血澎湃的年輕人所興起的裝置藝術，經常被拒於門外。藝術家范姜明道，有鑑於畫廊在暑假多半不營業，便與阿波羅大廈內的七間畫廊協商，並請來剛從臺北市立美術館展覽組離職的石瑞仁（現為台北當代藝術館 執行總監）擔任策展人，邀集了八位裝置藝術家，在1994年7月開啟「游移美術館」的第一檔策劃展。
隔年1995年，范姜明道與蕭麗虹、陳正勳，一同促成了另類藝術空間「竹圍工作室」的誕生，於是「游移美術館」陸續於「竹圍工作室」推出展覽，1995-97年間共推出八個檔次台灣前衛藝術家個展。
旅居中國北京十多年的范姜明道，2014年再度啟動「游移美術館」創作計畫，邀請策展人策劃兼具實驗及市場的展覽，期待以自由為名的藝術能更加新生、茁壯，為當代藝術展開不一樣的藝術視野。

游移美術館 創辦人 范姜明道 ~
范姜明道曾參加1997年的威尼斯雙年展，是台灣當代藝術的重要成員，早年留學海外的經驗，使其創作理念能與國際接軌，諸如現成物與創作物的並置與將植物（小麥草）納入裝置作品的手法，均首開先例，並對台灣藝術創作觀念產生巨大衝擊與影響；作品展現親近生活的質樸特質，卻蘊含著對於自然與人文的關切；近年旅居北京的范姜明道，多以木材雕刻為主軸，其創作更顯成熟與內斂，卻不掩其智慧的鋒芒。
About Nomad Museum Project ~
21 years ago, most galleries at Taiwan preferred to deal with artworks by well-established artists. Seeing that local galleries didn’t open during summer, artist Fang Marvin-Minto went negotiate with seven galleries inside Apollo Building. Shih who just left exhibition department of Taipei Fine Art Museum (now executive director of MOCA) as curator and 8 installation artists. In July 1994, the first exhibition of “Nomad Museum” was officially on view. Next year 1995, Fang Marvin-Minto co-founded Bamboo Curtain Studio, an alternative space, with Margaret Shiu Tan and Chen Cheng-Hsun. Since then, Nomad Museum had organized 8 avant-garde artist solo exhibitions at Bamboo Curtain Studio from 1995 to 1997. After living and working at Beijing more than a decade, Fang Marvin-Minto re-activated Nomad Museum Recreation Project in 2014. In this project, curators are invited for exhibitions which are very experimental as well as market-oriented. In the name of liberation, we hope to present an alternative vision for contemporary art via a gesture of rebirth and growth. Chronicle of Events at Nomad Museum~

Minto Fang, Founder of Nomad Museum－
Minto Fang participated to Venice Biennale in 1997 and is one of the most influential figures at Taiwan contemporary art world. His overseas study experiences in early years create linkage between his creational concepts and global theories. For instance the juxtaposition of found objects and created items and put plants (wheatgrass) into installation pieces, are both first advocated by him. It further brings huge impacts and profound influences to art creational concepts at Taiwan; his artworks mostly present simple and humble quality of life with focus and caring to the Nature and humanity; living and working at Beijing in recent years, Minto Fang largely adopts wooden sculpture as the major element in his art creation. His presentation shows great extents of maturity and sophistication as well as sparkles of wisdom from his life experiences.
