《林愛國招募計畫》，2018 ，表演、空間裝置
中正堂展演空間

《林愛國招募計畫》為一支展覽期間限定的儀隊，明日和合製作所企圖展現威權體制如何透過身體操演產生動能，展示規訓權力，並檢討傳統性別價值。

高舉雄壯、威武的陽剛氣質，儀隊成員需遵守嚴格紀律，規訓的身體操演著關於集體、一致、民族、國家的模範形象。《林愛國招募計畫》反其道而行，公開招募一群曾被喚為人妖、娘娘腔、CC等綽號、被大眾認為具陰柔氣質的生理男性共同組成儀隊；於展覽期間安排專業儀隊教官進行「愛國儀隊訓練」，施予一連串精神教育與操槍訓練，並規劃系列「男性品味進階班」，讓眾娘娘腔進化為「林愛國」們。

藉此戲謔式的表演計畫，反諷男性的「脆弱」被視為不可取，「戰鬥」才能成為國家棟樑的刻板認知。明日和合製作所將在2019年1月1日與總統府升旗典禮遙相對望，舉辦成果發表——「金豬報喜嗨儀下」元旦升旗典禮，由這支完成訓練的儀隊展現「林愛國」的愛國精神。

Where is Ai-Guo Lin?,
2018. Performances and installations

Co-coism will recruit an honor-guard marching band for the exhibition and demonstrate how an authoritative system generates strong initiatives through physical demonstration. The performance will also showcase the power of scrupulous training and examine the traditional values attached to gender.

In order to ensure that the band exemplifies power, might, and masculinity, each member must be highly disciplined. They must adhere to rigorous physical training to set fine examples for their community and nation. In direct defiance to all these principles, Where is Ai-Guo Lin? is composed of a team of effeminate men who, at some point in their lives have been called ladyboys and sissies. The team has hired a professional military instructor who will conduct a patriotic honor-guard training course in basic band etiquette and gun-yielding techniques. A series of advance masculinity courses will also be taught so that these effeminate men can become proper and manly Ai-Guo Lins. (Note: Ai-Guo implies a patriot.)

Through this satirical performance project, the team challenges the traditional notions that fragility and weakness in men are unacceptable and that a strong nation can be built only from belligerence and might. The team will present their final product – the Honor-Guard Marching Band’s Golden Pig of Prosperity – on the first day of 2019 during the New Year’s Day flag raising ceremony while a formal counterpart is performed in front of the Presidential Palace in the same time.
