White Label成立於2008年,由獨立設計師、藝術家、音樂人利用業餘時間自發性組成,White Label的原意是獨立音樂人於發行正式作品前所錄製的White Label版本,代表著最原始的創作面貌。White Label希望能成為一個跨界平台,讓各領域的創作人、觀眾,都能以輕鬆隨性的態度相遇、交流和自我實現。

Established in 2008, White Label is a self-active organization initiated by a group of individual designers, artists, andmusicians with their after-work hours. “White label” originally means the white label version of record by independent musicians before the record is formally published, representing the most original creation. It is hoped that White Label could be a platform for creators in different fields and our audiences to meet each other, to exchange thoughts, and to realize themselves in a casual manner.

2009年,White Label成立線上電台,由台北獨立音樂人自製節目,提供更多元的聆聽視野,為期一年半的時間有超過10萬人收聽。同年9月受到東京野餐俱樂部的啓發,發起台北都市野餐行動,一天就有超過三千名民眾參與,並以紙上藝廊的概念發行White Label paper供民眾免費索取,目前已發行至第二期。

In 2009, white label started to podcast online white label Radio (http://whitelabelradio.blogspot.com/). White label Radio in cooperation with Taipei independent musicians aims to bring Taiwan audiences a variety of music listening experiences. The same year latter, inspired by Tokyo Picnic Club, white label called for Taipeiers to Urban Picnic Action with over 3,000 people participating in one day. Following that, white label issued the free "white label paper" with the concept of mobile gallery which focuses on music, contemporary arts, design, photography, urbanism and postmodernism literature.

『2008一群愛好音樂的年輕人舉辦「WHITE LABEL」活動,目的是為了剝去過度的包裝與宣傳,讓每一個作品都以原始的面貌呈現,創作人用最簡單的方式介紹自己的音樂,在現場贈送或以成本價格販售。隨著活動結束,經過半年時間的蘊釀,2009年這群熱血青年轉戰網路,架設了「WHITE LABEL Radio」。在這個網路電台中,邀請了不同風格的DJ錄製節目,同時也訪問獨立創作者,介紹各類型音樂與動向,而不遵循任何規則‧‧‧在這裡,沒有面孔的人們單純地分享著美好的事物。』

white label paper issue.002 summer 2010



這是什麼東西?

簡單來講大概就是一個紙上藝廊(paper gallery)的概念,辦一次實體展覽所需的經費往往需上萬,所能觸及的對象卻有許多侷限,於是摒除掉網路的虛擬與快速,選擇透過一種實體的平面性出版,雖然仍無法具有原作的撼動性,卻也因為這樣的形式能跨足更廣的領域。

由於是gallery的概念,在版面設計上能希望空間感能出現,讓讀者在閱讀時大口呼吸且能思考,以及white label的元素,多了一點rough的感覺,就成了最後的成品。之前第一期的時候,方向還不是那麼的清楚,只是一些簡單的假設與想法,在做了之後,才知道什麼是自己真正喜歡的,於是歸納出了一套說法,我想之後會越來越清楚。




裡頭在講什麼東西

第一期匆促出刊之後,便收到了許多各方意見,諸如「為什麼沒有主題?」、「內容感覺可以再充實一點!」此類。我設定這是一份「15分鐘」刊物,讀者可以充分利用在咖啡館坐下等待友人或者咖啡煮好之前的時間。

不去設定主題,是因縱軸往往是在邀約藝術家後,由藝術家自行決定供稿的內容,像做第二期時與三色井聯絡,意外得知他去了宏都拉斯當國際志工,也因而產生了本期的內容,都不是事先設定好主題所能預見的,也很真實。橫切面除了跨及目前大眾都很喜愛的全版面插畫與藝術攝影,還觸及都市、音樂、文學、新銳設計以及當代中國等等領域。


為何採取免費?

2005、2006年時,曾經出版了販售性的新銳插畫刊物,通路管理就耗去了大半的精力以及還是必須要再透過一層行銷的手法,為了販售反而稀釋掉了最初想推廣的目的,還是落為很小一群人之間的玩意。2009年開始我們決意採行完全免費的方式發行,在背後由於目前已經沒有公司組織運作,在資金上則用類似定期定額投資的方式籌措,亦即從每月的個人收入中定期存一筆錢起來,可能是三千、五千元,大概三個月到半年的時間,籌到了一期發行所需的經費,在能力所及的範圍內,不受刊期與其他牽制,相當自由。當然也不排斥未來能有企業的贊助或者是廣告的刊登,自然可以在其他方面更為闊綽有餘力。

Picnic power

By Taylor Briere

White Label is gonna fight ... for your right ... to picnic.

With City Life Art Festival tomorrow and Sunday at Huashan 1914 Creative Park (華山創意園區) (formerly known as Huashan Culture Park, 華山文化園區), the group is putting a new spin on the CAMPO-style outdoor market/music festival. Drawing inspiration from the Tokyo Picnic Club (www.picnicclub.org), White Label is urging Taipei residents to reclaim their urban spaces through the power of the picnic. Admission is free and attendees are encouraged to bring their own food and drinks.

“It will be an urban picnic event from now on,” said White Label founder Chen Yu-hsin, better known as A-Li. “We would like people to not just come to see the bands and to buy things at the market. They should ask their friends to come picnic with them.”

White Label began in 2008 when A-Li, cofounder of CAMPO (Cinema Art Music People Original), decided to branch out. Like CAMPO, the new venture was to be a monthly gathering of artists and musicians sharing and selling their work in an environment free from commercial influences. But although he loved the grass-roots, independent feel of the CAMPO experience, he wanted White Label to be more urban and edgy.

White Label hosted six events in the first half of 2008, but organizers grew frustrated with the city government’s noise, decor and flyer restrictions for the use of Red House Theater (西門紅樓) in Ximending. For A-Li, there were just “too many rules.” As a result, the White Label went on hiatus for more than a year.

“I’m an office man now,” A-Li said. “I can’t hold as many events as CAMPO used to, but I still want to do something.”

Bands and DJs are performing all weekend at City Life Art Festival, but tomorrow is the big day and will include the fuzzy shoegazer sounds of Boyz and Girl and the video game-inspired electronica of Unfamiliar Friends Party (不熟的朋友派對). Also tomorrow, the First Film Festival (firstfilm.pixnet.net), which is showing the debut films of 30 Taiwanese directors in 10 days at different locations across Taipei, will screen its first film, Sunday Morning (星期天早晨), by director and curator Alfie Chen (陳建軒). An outdoor installation art exhibit and a flea market selling products made by independent artists and designers are planned for both days.
