BEYOND ISLANDS: CONTEMPORARY ART OF TAIWAN AND EAST ASIA
11-12 June 2014

History of Art at the University of Edinburgh hosts an Spotlight Taiwan
Art Forum on contemporary East Asian art, focusing on artists who
received aboriginal Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Western art
inspirations and developed their own art into an unique visual
presentation with a great diversity in East Asia now. Through the study
of contemporary artists and policies in collecting and exhibiting Asian
art in British national institutions and centres in the US, this event
poses "BEYOND ISLAND" as main theme and addresses four important strands
in the making of and exhibiting contemporary art: "ARTISTIC
PRACTICE," "WRITING HISTORIES OF CONTEMPORARY ART,"
"LOCAL COLOUR AND GLOBAL VISION: EXHIBITIONS OUTSIDE ASIA,"
AND "POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND ART COMMISSIONS: CHALLENGES AND
PROSPECTS." The forum will focus on the challenges of staging East
Asian art across lines of cultural difference, institutional affiliation
and the boundaries between art and design. The programme aims to put the
contemporary art in Taiwan and East Asia in a global context by
investigating its artists, networks and policy development. It will be
opened to public by reservation.
This event is kindly supported by Spotlight Taiwan: Contemporary
Taiwanese Art, Culture and Cinema in Scotland, The Ministry of Culture
of Taiwan, and Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh.
