「假如我在這次的展覽裡，想方設法幫你做出你說的那一件作品，如何？」
藝術家向友人們提出如此的假設問題，《平庸史》計畫奠基於藝術家劉季易在工作歷程中遇見的四位友人，他們各自屬於20、30、40、50歲的世代，分別在不同情形下，向藝術家提及藝術創作的念頭。
作品呈現某種訕笑與嘲弄的調性，節錄出一段段「不可行」的《平庸史》，並將一些與心理諮商師的私密對談，公告於臺藝大聚落家屋的牆面上，可能真實還原，也可能僅是虛構一句句關於等待、遲疑、困擾以及痛苦的喃喃絮語。
“What do you think if I try to make a piece of work that you had mentioned before for this exhibition?”
The artist, Ji-Yi LIU, proposed this hypothetical question to four friends of his. The mediocracy plan was inspired by them as LIU met them during his 7 or 8 years of professional career. These friends are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, and they proposed the idea of creating some artworks for LIU under different circumstances.
This piece uses ridiculing and mocking questions to form an “unfeasible” History of Mediocracy. The sincere confession and dialogue with the psychological counsellor are displayed on the walls of the house. By using the fictional characters of narratives, the actual conversation can be either reconstructed or fictionalized once again, demonstrating the possible impossibility, the concerns about art, about waiting and about hesitation, as well as the pain resulting from rejection.
