外口 WAKAO PLOT
外口 WAKAO PLOT（guā-kháu），臺語意指外面，位在臺北舊城內，是一處藏在建物夾縫中的戶外展示場域。外口的「外」，相對於城內、室內與制度框架的「內」，是向外探索的實踐基地。
歷史資料顯示，外口周邊曾存在一處因城牆及道路空隙而生、後隨高架橋興建覆蓋而消失的公園綠地；今日的外口，也同樣面臨著都市更新的不確定性。兩者皆因夾縫而生，承載著極為相似的空間命運。
長期在城內耕耘的鬧工作室走出室內，攜手在地里鄰、文史工作者、當代藝術家及藝文團隊，透過當代藝術展示與文史活動，將這處容易被忽略的畸零綠地轉化為兼具休憩與藝術能量的小公園。我們邀請大眾走進外口，以不同視角感知城內獨特的時空紋理，接觸多樣且具實驗性的當代創作，讓藝文能量在此持續生長與發生。
WAKAO PLOT (guā-kháu, Taiwanese for "outside") is an outdoor platform tucked between buildings in Taipei’s historic Chengnei (Walled City of Taipei). Operating outside institutional frames, it ventures into the streets.
Echoing a nearby 1911 pocket green that vanished under an urban overpass, this crevice site shares an identical transient fate amid ongoing redevelopment.
Stepping outside, NOW studio partners with local neighborhoods, historians, and artists to turn this residual gap into an open park for contemporary practice and cultural gathering—opening new angles to perceive the historic district’s temporal pulse.
