 「梅爾汀計畫」以「對話的欲望」與「對話的形式」作為兩個探討「對話」活動與觀念之核心，並以「一年對話實踐」遊戲規則邀請六位（組）藝術家許芳慈（台灣）＋Post-Museum（新加坡）、高俊宏（台灣）＋麥巔（中國）、包麗莎（Lisa BAUER-ZHAO，德國）＋趙立東（中國/德國）參與這一計畫，以2014年一整年為期進行「對話」。

實驗期程（2014年）結束後，我們提出「縫線、鬼故事、逃離」這三件事來探討、呈現對話的各種層次──欲望、情境、機制、規則、過程、產物等，並與台北竹圍工作室、台南齁空間合作籌辦兩場「梅爾汀論壇」，希冀以更多元的「對話形式」與「主題」碰觸，延展梅爾汀精神與可能之後續反應。

一、論壇台南場：
「社會改變的基礎為何？」＋「鬼事製圖之鬼話連篇」：
5/3（日） | 齁空間（台南）
Sunday, May 3rd | Howl Space（Tainan）
地址｜Address：台南市台南市中西區永福路二段163號｜No.163, Sec. 2, Yongfu Rd., West Central Dist., Tainan City 700, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

「對話」在社會互動中扮演何種角色？每一個個體作為一種社會存在，如何對「社會改變」這一提問做出回應、想像？藝術與文化工作者又如何提出具創造性的對話形式並實踐之？本論壇場次加映「鬼話連篇」鬼故事大會，在春季夜晚的台南市，邀您從靈異、都市傳說與文化信仰的角度重新觀看城市發展與現代空間的泛靈論問題。

二、論壇台北場：
5/17（日）「對話作為方法」：10:00-17:30
加映場6/12（五）「新加坡記憶政治與台灣失憶美學」：15:00-17:00
地點| MOCA台北當代藝術館
Sunday, May 17th | MOCA（Taipei）
地址｜Address：台北市大同區長安西路39號｜
NO.39 Chang-An West Road, Taipei, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

本場次從「梅爾汀計畫」之展呈與創作出發，透過對「一年對話實踐」之過程、遊戲規則、生產、揀選、困惑等面向的檢視與延展，來探討「對話」如何作為「方法」：從作為一種變動的關係、被動的抵抗，到一種深沈聆聽以及面對城市空間與筑居的思考。https://www.facebook.com/events/807077156038317/
