15 years, for a place, is an accumulation of time; for us, it is also the slow becoming of a relationship. Through years of collaboration, exchange, and shared moments, the connection between OCAC, jiandyin, and Baan Noorg has gradually unfolded beyond artistic collaboration, extending from projects into the textures of everyday life, and from working together into each other’s lives.
Our paths first crossed through the Taiwan–Thailand exchange: ThaiTai. Through residencies, exhibitions, and curatorial work, we slowly grew closer. What was shared was not only works and ideas, but also ways of living, rhythms of time, and modes of sensing. In different places, we formed temporary grounds to gather, and through continuous movement, carried these connections forward.
Relations are not defined by achievement, but emerge and take shape over time as a process of becoming. Like family, we are drawn toward one another and remain in support of one another. Thank you for allowing art to become more than a passage between projects, but a place where we can dwell together over time, a place of long companionship.
May the future hold things yet to be named, and places we have yet to arrive at, waiting for us to explore together.
Happy birthday, dear Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts & Culture !

十五年，對一個地方而言，是時間的累積；對我們而言，是一段關係的緩慢生成。
在長時間的往返、共作與生活之中，打開－當代（OCAC）、jiandyin 與 Baan Noorg 之間，早已不只是藝術上的合作，而是一種從計畫延伸至日常、從工作進入彼此生命的編織紐帶。
從台泰交流（ThaiTai）的相遇開始，我們透過交換進駐、展覽與共同策劃，一點一點拉近彼此的距離。那不只是作品和想法的交換，也包含對生活的節奏與感知，在不同地方建立暫時的據點，並在移動之中持續延續彼此。
有些連結不是通過成就而定義出來的，而是在時間裡長出來的。如同家人一樣彼此牽引，也相互支持。謝謝你們讓藝術不只是從一個計畫走向另一個計畫，而是一處能長久相伴的棲居所在。
願未來還有更多尚未命名的事物、還未涉足的地方，待我們一起去發掘。
生日快樂，Baan Noorg !
