(CON)TEMPORARY SPACE-‐TIME Performance art from Taiwan Shifting time, dislodgeble space and static body, these three states transmit and reflect the need of performance art for acting as mist and dew or lightning. The exhibition (CON)TEMPORARY SPACE-‐TIME intends to present a temporal coexistence with history, which is ‘a concept of multi side streams outside historical context’, that is generated from how the character of art and body in demand is positioned and interpreted. In the special historical background, the context of performance art in Taiwan can be separated into three parts: first, 1980-‐1990 before and after Abolishing Martial Law -‐ the ironic and judgmental reflection on political and social situation; second, 1990-‐2000 -‐ body and life -‐ the extreme test on body and relationship between art and life; third, after 2000 -‐ the flourishing of video -‐ the relationship between body and video. The exhibition includes 17 artists and 24 artworks according to the above three sections. The organiser `Month of Performance Art in Berlin` (shorten as MPA-‐B) is going to its third year in May 2013. MPA-‐B is founded by Berlin local artists and is the new and the biggest performance art event that mainly presents experimental, innovating and exploring performance art. Taiwanese curators Yun Ting-‐Hung、Lan and I Chen Tsou are invited to organise the exhibition `(CON)TEMPORARY SPACE-‐TIME` that focuses and presents on Taiwanese performance/action art in Berlin -‐ the new capital of art. The reception will be hold in Stattberlin Art Space in the 10th of May 2013.
