This month the Taiwan Academy in New York will present a contemporary art exhibition and film screenings centered on \u201cmulticulturalism and immigration.\u201d This series of events aim to capture the impacts of globalization on Taiwanese society through various lenses, and through the perspectives of the participating artists.<\/p>\n
As of now, the foreign worker population in Taiwan has grown to over six hundred thousand people, yet they exist outside of Taiwanese society. [\u548che\u02bc] presents a diverse collection of mediums including photography, videography, art installation, and sculpture. The exhibition uses Taiwan as a subject to question our ideas and interpretations of commonality, of being-in-common without presuming a common-being, of searching for commonality without defining that one specific thing we all share in common.<\/p>\n
Curated by FOGSTAND Gallery, the contemporary art exhibition [\u548che\u02bc] features 9 artists : Chang En-Man, Lee Jo-Mei, Lin Jin-Da (from Taiwan) and other artists including Joo Choon Lin, Chun Kai Feng (Singapore), Song-Yun Kim (Korea), Fiona Burke (Ireland), Samuel Weinburg (USA), and Brandon Cramm (UK).<\/p>\n
Alongside the exhibition, 4 films and documentaries, \u201cSee You, Lovable Strangers,\u201d \u201cStilt,\u201d and \u201cTowards the Sun,\u201d have been selected for screening. The first 3 films examine the challenges new immigrants face in Taiwan, as well as the issues of the rural-urban divide. The fourth film \u201cBlack Bear Forest\u201d addresses the relationship between humans and the natural environment by taking the audience into the world of an indigenous tribe\u2014Bunun, and the life of Taiwan\u2019s very own protected animal, the black bear.<\/p>\n
