❝如同年輪刻劃於樹幹或石面上悄然浮現的紋理。《生長紋》是時間留下的藝術肌理，也是三十年臺大藝術季共同累積的生命紋路。❞

展覽試圖以歷屆主視覺、創作物件與過往活動的實體紀錄為經緯，梳理藝術季如何在時代更迭中漸漸成形——

從最初的學生行動到逐步建構的策劃體系，每一屆的創作、每一次的嘗試，都在石面上刻下一道獨屬當時的生長痕跡。

延續，不是靜止的保存，而是在記憶與創造之間，持續生成的動態過程。

《生長紋》回望的不只是歷史，更是一次邀請，邀請你傾聽藝術與校園文化如何在層層積累中，成為今日我們所處的場域與視野。

願每個人能夠在這些沉靜的紋理中，看見時間如何塑形、藝術如何滲透，也看見自己，在這條尚未結束的紋路上，正慢慢延續著新的故事。

❝Like the subtle lines that emerge on the surface of tree trunks or stone over time, Striations of Growth captures the textured imprint of time—an artistic grain left behind by thirty years of the NTU Art Festival.❞

This exhibition seeks to trace the formation of the NTU Art Festival across decades, weaving together past key visuals, creative objects, and archival documentation.

From its origins in student-led initiatives to the evolution of a structured curatorial system, each edition has carved its own distinct striation into the stone—marking time through art.

To "continue" is not to preserve in stillness, but to remain in motion—constantly regenerating between memory and creation.

Striations of Growth is not only a retrospective, but also an invitation: an invitation to listen to how art and campus culture have formed, layer by layer, shaping the space we now inhabit and the perspectives we now hold.

May every viewer, through these quiet striations, witness how time sculpts, how art permeates, and how each of us carries forth a new story—one that gently extends across this still-unfolding terrain of growth.
