Participating Artists / Wen-chih Wang,Michael Ming-hong Lin,Shu-min Lin,Chien-chi Chang,Shih-fen Liu
The theme “Living Cell” is a metaphor for Taiwanese contemporary art and the regional cultural phenomena. Like the unpredictable collision of cells, the works expand the aesthetics of modes of expression and engage in a dialogue on the human spirit with art from other time periods and spaces, highlighting the role of Taiwanese art on the international stage.
