In January 2020, Taipei Dangdai transformed the city with a week of Art and Ideas. The fair closed its second edition to great critical acclaim, welcoming over 40,000 visitors to Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. Presented by UBS, the fair convened 99 leading galleries, a curated Ideas Forum of 15 panels and events, and a series of large-scale Installations including Michael Lin’s digital commission for the facade of Taipei 101. There is no replacement for coming together here in Taipei, but Taipei Dangdai is working to bring our galleries and guests together online throughout the year over both Art and Ideas. We are starting with a week of Taipei Connections, a new digital platform developed in collaboration with Ocula, for which galleries who participated in the 2020 fair from Taipei, Asia, and beyond have prepared a selection of highlights from their program to share specially with our guests in Taipei. Taipei Connections is intended as the first step in an ongoing effort to engage our galleries and guests through digital platforms, and will be augmented by content from our Ideas Forum as well as the Decoding Art series.
