Active exhibition
For most people, a hospital is a place that we don't want to go, but we may have to go if
we get ill. Pain and death brought by diseases terrify us, which make us avoid thinking
of a hospital, not to mention visiting a hospital if not necessary. As for me, a hospital is a
special place. My father is a doctor who helps thousands of patients get well. I spent my
childhood watching him cure patients and bring happiness back to their life. A hospital
represents hope and wellness to patients and their loved ones, and we cannot simply
correlate it with the negative image brought by diseases, form an idea for illness and
even hospital fear. I want to propose a series of exhibitions to awaken people's outdated
and even prejudiced views, just like “A Hacker Manifesto” taught us. We need to bring
this spirit to break the perception in the traditional sense. This exhibition, I hope to let
patients or visitors think more deeply about what disease or disability has brought us.
Inspired by ‘A Hacker Manifesto’, I want to subvert mundane ideas and provide a
completely new experience to hospital visitors through this exhibition. Many relate their
past bad experiences and sad stories with hospitals. Thus, they hold a negative and
prejudice attitude toward the hospital and refuse to change. In this exhibition, I will
present the ‘hope’ and ‘wellness’ side of the hospital. Instead of breaking us down, a
hospital is protecting us from losing health or even life. Also, I want to exhibit the
optimism and fortitude the patients have when they fight against diseases. The shining
qualities they maintain to win the battle of life are so inspiring. We can understand the
meaning of life better from the hospital exhibition.
To organize an impressive exhibition, I choose a comprehensive hospital with a large
amount of patients. In this way, more people will be attracted to the exhibition in the
hospital than in smaller hospitals. They can enjoy the exhibition works when they wait in
line. There are many kinds of patients in general hospitals. I hope to bring some new
concept or idea to the patient.
After comparing several local hospitals in San Francisco, I decided to choose the
hospital in Kaiser Permanente. Kaiser's hospitals are widely distributed, and almost all
of California's medical systems are involved. Exhibitions can have more widely flowed,
and the community around Kaiser is rich. There are companies as well as residential
areas and even schools. The success of the exhibition can benefit the surrounding
communities more broadly.
Kaiser Permanente Campus in San Francisco
For a specific location, I chose the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center
and Medical Offices (2425 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94115). In the lobby of the
entrance, you can see a very wide area, on the right side of the hall, Where people wait
for drugs, the waiting time per person exceeds twenty minutes. Due to the huge flow of
people, the front office part shares the role of partial diversion, but unfortunately, the
front hall only uses a fairly simple machine to serve as a diversion. The task, such as
the payment machine, is nothing to waste the space system, so I decided to show more
meaningful exhibits in this space.

I chose a series of paintings, Tanya Raabe. The first exhibition was I chose Tanya
Raabe's Sophie Morgan painting. Sophie Morgan tried to challenge people's perceptions
of disability through her activities. The UK has a lot of awareness based on disability
discrimination and makes Individuals can eliminate inequality. Tanya Raabe printed
Sophie Morgan showed her leg disability in her work, and she hopes the work will
encourage more disabled people to express themselves through art. I chose Tanya
Raabe's series of works because her paintings use a visual language that people can
understand. For example, in the first painting, Sophie holds the book Pride and
Prejudice. The visual language strongly expresses the meaning of satirical
discrimination. At the same time, it will give the patient some encouragement, not to be
confused by the secular view of his own disease or disability.

Most of Tanya Raabe's paintings are rich in color, trying to break the inherent attitudes
of people with disabilities through the use of color. At the same time, we can see that
most of his works use comic expressions. The author also tries to irony through
humorous forms. Secular prejudice against the disabled.

The disease brings people not only physical pain but also the inner heart of people.
How do we conquer our own defects? Learning to accept and adapt to oneself or a new
environment may be a deeper understanding that each of us should get more from art.
Quinn's giant marble statue, which depicts the same body shortening as Malvinas, must
be considered one of the most important moments of sculpture in the history of British
post-war art. "Quin's sculptural genius moment has brought a huge blow to disability."
Quinn saw Alison Lapper on the fourth column as a "focal monument of the future" to
celebrate "someone has conquered his own situation, not More than conquering the
outside world."

outside world are not conquering their inner world, but continue to live a fulfilling life.

This huge bronze sculpture is based on an early work called "Innocent", which is the
sculpture of Quinn's first son, shortly after his 7-month-old son was diagnosed with
severe milk allergies. The piece is about 10 meters long and about 4 meters high, but
seems to be suspended on the ground. It seems impossible to hang, giving people a
sense of weightlessness. Despite the fragility of life, the sheer size of the earth
undermines our sense of time and space.
