Su Huiyu and Tsui Kuang-Yu are invited to the exhibition “City Flip-Flop.”
Artist Su Huiyu and Tsui Kuang-Yu are invited to the exhibition “City Flip-Flop.” The exhibition presents C-LAB as a simulated micro-city, showing shockwaves, dissolution, and regeneration through the giant wheel of time. With the year 2020 rapidly approaching, C-LAB revisits the 1920s, a critical period in Taiwan’s progress of modernization, and as they learn from the past and look to the future, they explore how to conduct cultural experiments in the city and for the experiments to evoke impact.
City Flip-Flop presents the following three sub-categories, “Multiplex”, “Stained”, and “Circulation”, as departure points for observations and investigations. “Multiplex” reexamines the multi-impacts on culture brought forth by progressivism and growthism that are advocated by modern industrialized system and global capitalism, and explores the great impact on society and life prompted by technology. “Stained” reenacts marginal narratives hidden under social norms and rules, exploring the controls imposed by modern governance and order system on the body and the mind. “Circulation” engages in multidimensional exploration on social development, environmental awareness, and sustainable lifestyle, with the city’s evolution, transformation, and future development observed and envisioned.
