Art as Social Interaction: Hong Kong / Taiwan Exchange
DURATION: 2014-10-17 ~ 2014-11-23
OPENING: 2014-10-17
In recent years, artists and non-profit organizations in Taiwan and Hong Kong re-focused on the functions of art as a form of education and a way to enable viewers` re-examination of their out-looks on life. These communities also actively engage in the discussion of issues such as civil awareness, community life, and cultural capital by launching various creative projects, coalitions, and calls to action. Art as Social Interaction: Hong Kong / Taiwan Exchange expects to connect the two places and deepen the understanding of the influences and meaning of this particular art form in the specific social context of each community through exhibitions, workshops, and dialogues in forums.
