The Wild Eighties: Dawn of a Transdisciplinary Taiwan
Event Time
Tue. - Sun. 9:30 - 17:30
Event Location
No.181, Sec. 3, Zhongshan N. Rd., Zhongshan Dist., Taipei City Taiwan, R.O.C
This exhibition uses works, archives, audio and video documentaries recordings, and interviews to trace the development of “transdisciplinary’ across Taiwan’s art and literature history in the 1980s. Taiwan’s “transdisciplinary” was not a process of modernity, but a state of existence and a way out for society. The exhibition showcases five major sub-themes: “Avant-Garde and Experimental” presents the experimentations of creators in various fields, stimulated by the paper media and inspired by new Western forms; “Politics and Taboo” presents the unsealing of the mind, body, and creativity in an increasingly free society before and after the lifting of martial law; “Translation and Hybridity” depicts the publication of a large number of translations and the evolution of ideas due to internationalization and the increase of scholars returning to Taiwan. “Local, Global, and Identity” conveys Taiwan’s integration into the global production chain, and the collision of identity and values at different levels. “Convergence and Onward” reshapes the atmosphere of the gathering place with open space, and the planning of a series of public events to take place here.
