Artist Tsui Kuang-Yu was invited to participate in the group exhibition at Taiwan in Venice: Impossible Dreams
Titled Impossible Dreams, the exhibition will look back on how the Taiwan’s cultural contexts and perspectives have been presented at this international art spectacle through diverse contemporary art that confronts history, society and pressing issues in our everyday lives over the 13 editions, ever since its first participation in the Biennale Arte in 1995. The event will consist of two parts: firstly, the “archival display” curated by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, which will present the archives and revisit works from the Taiwan Exhibition from 1995 to 2019; secondly, the “international forums” will be presided over by Philippine veteran curator Patrick Flores as chief convener.
The “archival display” in Venice will set up a space for memory to be reactivated, where the themes and curatorial concepts, exhibition photos, visuals, and publicity designs of previous editions of the Exhibition, as well as the documentation and records of their making behind-the-scenes will be presented, including Tsui Kuang-Yu’s Shortcut to the Systematic Life, will return as live archives, serving as references between the present and the past.
