Taipei and New York are the same and different. One is global and full of culture - a tall charming girl. The other is a warm, elegant urban lady. Both contain new and old, rich and poor, passion and coldness, constancy and change. In the city jungle, artists suppress ordinary views to express secret gardens of the mind. The city edge is a forest, and to search in this forest is to discover a secret garden. The edge is a place for exploration, which requires slowing the steps, calming the heart, and contemplating one’s surroundings. Twenty one Taiwanese artists use various media to express spiritual refreshment via sound, light, and worldly things. The works fall into four categories: Poetic Garden, Landscape in Motion, Wonderland, and Hidden Garden.
