綠川計畫成果展（台灣）| Green River Project Exhibition (Part-1 Taiwan)

The departure point of ‘Green River Project’ concept is to expose the disguise of massive developments of cities while destroying natural resources and ecosystem. Since cities have developed around rivers and the population concentrating to the cities, transportation, economy and culture always follow these developments of cities. Cities were born based on rivers. On the contrary, cities have lost their original appearance for the sake of their ‘future vision’. If rivers vanish from every city, what will happen in our life?

Mobile Scapehood – WANG Pei-Hsuan solo Exhibition 6.21-7.19

“The French philosopher Gaston Bachelard once wrote about what he termed the poetics of space. He believed that what we endow a space with poetically and emotionally is much more important than the physicality of the space itself. Such objective concept as distance here is converted into something meaningful and even story-filled—an imaginative geography made possible."

19th Birthday of Bamboo Curtain Studio | 5.10

On this day we welcome the 19th year of Bamboo Curtain Studio. And we present the new works by our current artists-in-residence, I-Hsuen Chen, Pei-Ju Yeh, and Hidemi Tokutake. The three artists will demonstrate, in three very different ways, how they view Zhuwei, and how they see the world from local perspectives.

Hidemi Tokutake: Shizuka | 5.10-5.17

Inspired by Traditional Chinese Sansui paintings, Shizuka靜 seeks to capture the underlying pulse of the natural mountainous landscape of Taiwan. Islands of earth sail through a sea of salt, juxtaposed by the surrounding mountains tranquilly clothed in mist. The rawness of the clay coupled with organic lines gestures a humble connection, with each ridge mimicking the unique characteristics of Taiwanese geography.

Picking up Garbage through Lenses: an Artist and his Still Life Analysis | 5.10-5.22

Chen was selected as the Emerging Artist of Bamboo Curtain Studio this year. His on-site project <Still Life Analysis> is an extension of the <Nowhere in Taiwan> series. Through documenting garbage, he investigates and reflects on the cultural and societal development in Taiwan.

Quotation

My project at the Bamboo Curtain Studio was crucial in the development of my work. At the time it was one of the few places in Taiwan that was open and welcome of installation projects. Due to the large scale of the exhibition space it gave me the opportunity to work in a scale that would later go on to define my work. -- Michael Lin
