KONG-KE MUSEUM
“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, everyday objects from the construction site are reimagined as artistic language—cement sacks become pillows, caution cones are transformed into table legs, and construction slang is integrated into bento box packaging. The exhibition brings together artists and brands in creative collaboration:
Inside the “Room by Dogu,” the Cement Sack Pillow softens labor into a moment of rest. Good Slow cafe contributes with a bold drink–espresso, vitamin soda, and fresh lemon–that captures construction site energy. In Desolate Island Worksite Gods, photographer Edd Jhong, graphic designer Jeff Tetsuo Liao, and clothing designer 李育昇 blend construction flag-waver imagery with traditional temple garb to create modern urban deities. Outdoors, artist 戴翰泓 transforms rebar into sculptural Site Beasts, inspired by workers' own imaginations.
From scents and visuals to objects and stories, this exhibition doesn’t wait for completion—it unfolds in real time, shaped by the intersection of art and labor.

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.
