繪：寫生
稊：野草，莊子語：道「在稊稗」
修：習行
在「國際都市」的中心慢慢行走，放下平日的節奏和焦點，找尋生長在夾縫中的野草。通過繪畫幫助我們靜下心來，感受人之外的力量。見微知著，探討在生態危機的當下我們如何同地球萬物溝通、合作，促生一個善良的人類世 (A Good Anthropocene)。
熱帶雨林被大量砍伐，巨量垃圾被填埋、焚燒或投入海洋，煤炭、石油、天然氣等化石能源依然源源不斷地被開採和燃燒。我們正在迅速改變我們生存的這顆星球的氣候和生態系統，我們意識到危機四伏，但我們并沒有停下來檢視我們的個人生活與社會建構，依然在科學-資本-殖民推動的高速列車中欣賞屏幕上的風景。
我們如何向野草學習？如何傾聽他們的生命故事？如何捨棄人類中心主義的執念？如何成為真正的智人 (Homo sapiens)？
藝術家鄭波自2013年開始與野草合作，通過裝置、影像等媒介思考植物與政治的關係，相關作品在亞洲和歐洲多個美術館和雙年展展出。《繪稊修》是他和天台塾合作開啟的公共課程，將在今夏舉行兩期。

Draw (繪)：sketching from nature
Tares (稊)：weeds, as narrated in Zhuangzi’s classics
Cultivate (修)：practice
Slow down your pace in the midst of this ‘international city’. Let go of your daily rhythm and focus to look for the weeds between the cracks. Drawing enables us to quieten down and perceive the power beyond us. As the Chinese saying goes, through observing a small start, we can foretell its development. In the same vein, we can look into the present moments in face of ecological threats to understand how we can communicate and cooperate with all living things on Earth so as to create a Good Anthropocene.
Considerable tropical rain forests have been deforested; innumerable waste has been landfilled, burned or discarded into the oceans; fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are still constantly being mined and burned. We are rapidly changing the climate and the ecosystem of this planet we live in. We are aware of the lurking dangers, yet we have not stopped to examine our personal life and social construction. We are still on the high-speed train driven by science, capitalism and colonialism, looking aloof at the scenery outside through the screen.
How can we learn from weeds? How can we listen to their life stories? How can we stop clinging to human-centred ideologies? How can we become true homo sapiens？
Artist Zheng Bo has been collaborating with weeds since 2013. He reflects on the relationship between plants and politics through media such as installation and video. His works have been exhibited in various art museums and biennales in Asia and Europe. Co-presented by Zheng Bo and Rooftop Institute, ‘Practice of Drawing Weeds’is a public course held in two phases this summer.
