Introduction：
Yu-Hsiu Museum of Art concentrates on the collection, exhibition and study of realistic art. The museum’s opening exhibition, Situation of Existence: Contemporary Realistic Art in East Asia, has invited seventeen East Asian artists. Based on the idea that realistic art is a unique expressive form in visual art, the exhibition guides the audience to explore the accumulation and crystallization of the artist’s experience and feelings. It also leads the audience to experience how the artworks have directly connected the audience with visible things as well as elements of reality, concept and memory, and shortened the relationship between individuals and art through sensory experience.
Through the viewing sequence in the three floors of the museum, the exhibition is organized in the order of “humans,” “humans and objects,” and finally, “humans and nature,” inviting the audience to explore their relationships formed with and after stepping into the environment through the artworks. Whether through imitation or imagination, realistic artworks display genuinely realistic images and objects, which are creations brought forth by visual illusions made by the artists with their personal experiences and affections, cares for the society, understanding of the culture, and reflection upon politics. With the works of the artists, the exhibition hopes the audience could discover their own existence in those realistic situations, look into what they find, and have a new understanding of the relationship between themselves and the environment.
