色彩是人們對於事物最直接的印象，而一個地方的文化色彩，則能呈現出在地的特色與價值。「名所考現學」乃藉由臺北市立美術館典藏之《臺北名所繪畫十二景》為起點，並與臺北市三所國小合作，以「藝術進入社區」的方式至昔日著名景點進行文化調查與社區拜訪，逐步分析、歸納出屬於地方的文化色彩。
展覽藉由實際走訪開啟地方與公眾的對話，師生田野訪查的成果透過展示紀錄與色彩創作的方式呈現，學生不僅在過程中了解地方文化與歷史，對觀者而言，則透過地方調查與分析，認識屬於我們自身的文化色彩。
Based on Twelve Points of Interest in Taipei ink paintings from the 1920s, we worked with three primary schools to conduct field studies and analyzed which colors constituted our cultural impressions.
Urban Modernology – Colors of Taipei opens a dialogue between the place and the public through actual visits. Students engaged with residents, documented colors, learned about local culture and history and introduced cultural colors that belonged to us.
