“An open museum doesn’t wait to be finished—it begins with every step of making.”

“An open museum doesn’t wait to be finished—it begins with every step of making.”

Kong-ke Museum draws its name from the ideas of “construction” and “home,” while also echoing the Taiwanese phrase for “sharing.” Before the official opening of CMP INSPIRATION, this museum—born on an active construction site—was created with the intent to value every moment of the building process and to honor the workers involved. It became a shared space for both laborers and the public—a museum without walls.

Gently responding to the lived realities of the construction site, Kong-ke Museum experiments with how art can intervene in the urban fabric. It serves as a vessel for artistic practice during times of transition, and a meaningful bridge between labor and life.

At Kong-ke Museum, construction site objects were transformed into art—cement bags became pillows, safety cones turned into table legs, and everyday tools inspired creative reinterpretations

The inaugural “Island Guardian” honored the electric flagman as a divine site protector; “If the Truck Cab Were My Home × Betel Nut Stand Were My 7-11” captured the lives of earthwork truck drivers; and “Vision on the Move” reimagined hoardings, slogans, and signage. Together, these exhibitions celebrated the spirit and culture of the construction site in diverse, inventive forms.

Through its vertical farm adoption program and children’s construction-site education initiative, the museum connected with the local community even during its building phase—inviting children to step into real labor settings, and encouraging neighbors to take part in everyday planting. This was never just a museum under construction; it was an artistic movement co-created with the neighborhood and grown alongside the next generation.

Now, with its initial mission fulfilled, the site has officially transitioned into CMP INSPIRATION. The walls have come down, the works packed away—but the moments of connection and creation that took place in the cracks of the construction site remain, like steel reinforcement hidden beneath the surface, quietly supporting what comes next.

Kong-ke Museum proved one thing:
Art doesn’t wait. It leads.
