文明最要緊的事，就是不能餓肚子！
天空五色彩鳥銜來五穗穀粒，神農大帝從此開創了炎黃子孫的文明，五千年來，象形了日禾月田、雨水鳥木，我們就是用農業寫文明的民族。這民族的生命支線，二、三百年前越過黑水溝，來到台灣。依樣，我們種田吃飯繼續和土地對話。
大地有時崩裂、河川無常氾濫，但沃土會繼續堆積。人們生柴圍著爐火料理吃飯也喝酒慶賀！在自然而然的大地運動中，太陽照耀土地吸收，生命奉獻成為食物，能量再勞動回歸大地，這是一個巨大的循環。於是料理中有一匙的愛、一杓的慈，一鏟的感謝與一碗的恩情，飲食給我們一種力量，叫我們相信土地！
這展，是掌生穀粒8年來第一次獨立策展，很簡單很誠懇，只說一件台灣依舊美好的人事物，只說一件人們始終都懂的厚生道理。8年來的風景，我們替你看了；千年來的飲食，請你自己嚐嚐。平凡的雙手盛簡單的白飯，我們要把基本的人情義理從碗底找回來。
飯，粒厚！我們很好，你也來元氣足。
The essential matter of civilization is to make sure that we don’t starve. The 5- color bird brought 5 types of grains. Then Lord Shenong started the civilization of descendants from the 2 Emperors. For the past 5000 years, we symbolized sun and moon, grass and field, rain and water, birds and trees, to create our written language. We are hereby a nation that wrote the entire civilization based on agriculture. A branch of this nation crossed the black strait 2 hundreds some years ago and came to Taiwan. We continued farming and rice-eating, and continued the dialogues with the land.
Sometimes the earth may crack and the river may flood. But the soil continues to be built. People start a fire and sit around it to cook and rice and drink and celebrate! In Mother Nature’s movements, the sun shines and the land absorbs. Life becomes food and energy, and comes back to the land to form a giant circle. Then there is a spoon of love, a spoon of mercy, a spoon of thankfulness and a bowl of graciousness. Food and drink give us strength and ask us to believe in the land!
With simplicity and sincerity, Greeinhand launches an independent exhibition for the first time in 8 years. We present only one of Taiwan’s still-beautiful beings, and exhibit one reason to treasure the life itself, which everyone always realized. Along the way, we see for you the sceneries in the past eight years. We invite you to experience yourselves the food and drink of the past one thousand years. With ordinary hands holding ordinary rice, we urge you to rediscover from the bottom of the rice bowl the fundamental value of our culture and civilization.
Rice and life, we are fine. We’re sure that you are, too.
