新樂園藝術空間由1989年成立的「2號公寓」遷徙至龍江路31號大廈的地下室，並於1995年以「新樂園」為名暫居於中山北路的巷弄裡。與台灣多數藝術空間營運方式不同，在這個特殊的空間「新樂園」就如一具暫時性軀體廣納不同藝術家進駐，宛若「公寓」的租所。在這發展逾20週年的過程中，新樂園也進行不同層面的盤整並邁向更具組織性的團體結構，科層的體制化一方面延展空間的日常運作，另一方面也因時局的挑戰與流動性狀態讓自身時有不同的觀點注入。
《無器官公寓》以德勒茲術語中的「無器官身體」(Body without Organs)與「公寓」本身現代化集合住宅的空間指涉，指稱新樂園空間本身所蘊含的流變性質與空間聚落的矛盾關係。一方面「公寓」廣納了不同階級文化的居民卻也因為現代性的空間劃分管理的特性，讓公寓本身成為一個替代居民發言的主體聚落。而「無器官身體」也具有反有機論、解科層化的之隱喻。新樂園藝術空間的空間屬性就如此在兩者之間遊蕩，看似具組織性的集體聚落，卻因內部所屬的藝術家居民而呈現一個未達具體編碼的狀態。
新樂園藝術空間以《無器官公寓》為命題，並將第十二期成員: 張雅萍、簡佑任、洪永欣、周能安、張菀玲、田名璋等人之創作，共同勾勒新樂園藝術空間的發展面向，在當代一年展的場域中，各個空間無不以空間為主體進行游擊，並透過「空間」嵌入台灣當代藝術的系譜當中，就如同大型的「寓所」。而各個空間皆有其歧異的屬性，彼此間無不碰撞出無數的花火，滾動，激起，空間運行的另類想像 。

Taiwan Annual - SLY Art Space
Apartment Without Organs
By: Chien Yu-Jen
SLY Art Space first began in 1989 as “Apartment # 2” in the basement of No. 31 Long Jiang Rd. Then, in 1995, after taking on the name of SLY Art Space, it moved to an alley along Chung Shan North Road. Unlike the operations of many other art spaces in Taiwan, the unique SLY Art Space is like a temporary body or rather, an apartment, that accommodates the residency of various artists. Over the course of more than two decades, SLY Art Space also initiated various levels of consolidation to achieve a more organized structure. On one end, this tiered system of administration extended upon the daily operations of the space. On another end, due to the challenges and flowing conditions of the times, different perspectives were also able to be introduced. 
Apartment Without Organs combines Gilles Deleuze’s concept of a “body without organs” with the modern residential space of an apartment, alluding to the contradictory relationship between rheological properties and spatial settlements contained within SLY Art Space itself. On one end, “Apartment” widely accepts residents from various cultures. Yet, due to the attributes of modern spatial partition management, the apartment itself becomes the main settlement that substitutes the speech of its residents. Body without organs also alludes to an anti-organicistic and anti-bureaucratism approach. The spatial attributes of SLY Art Space are just like a shifting between these two. A seemingly organized collective settlement which, due to the artists residing within the interior, presents a condition that does not a specific code.
With the proposition of Apartment Without Organs, SLY Art Space presents the works by members of its twelfth period: Chang Ya-Ping, Chien Yu-Jen, Hong Yonghsin, Chou Nengan, Chang Wanling, and Tian Mingzhang. Together, they outline the development approach to SLY Art Space. In the venue of Taiwan Annual, each space conducts guerrilla warfare with the theme of space and within the “space” embedded through Taiwan’s contemporary art pedigree, much like a large “apartment.” And, each space has its own different attributes. All of them collide with each other to create countless sparks, rolls, provocations, and alternative imaginations for the operations of space.
