The Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts (KdMoFA) is staging a series of exciting exhibitions, including one that presents the history of TNUA.
"Becoming TNUA: Entering Our History" and four others – "Base Piece – E Chen Solo Exhibition"; "A Deer of Nine Colors: Chen-Hung Chiu Solo Exhibition"; "Maintaining _ Body: Movement Topology & Tracks in the City"; and "2015 Outstanding Art Prize: This is Not a Poisoned Apple" – all opened on the same day on March 6.
"Becoming TNUA: Entering Our History" presents important interview records, documents and objects of the university since its founding in 1982.
The exhibition is part of a project to establish a university history hall, and faculty members, students and friends were also asked to make suggestions for the project and to tell what they expect and imagine the new facility would be like.
E Chen's solo exhibition presents the first six compositions of his "Base Piece" series, a name borrowed from sculptor Anthony Caro's Table Piece. This series is a counterfactual discourse-cum-retrospective on Chen's creative course, inspired by the idea of the "sculpture base" and grounded on sketches he made between 1992 and 1993.
"A Deer of Nine Colors" showcases artist Chen-Hung Chiu's installations formed by video and sculpture. The exhibition links to his previous works "The Marble Workers" and "Kwan Yin." It centers on multiple aspects of his hometown Hualien, such as family, industry, environment and religion.
"Maintaining _ Body" explores the human living tracks in the city formed by persons, routes and urban spaces. The exhibition combines photography, audiovisual art, installations and live performances featuring the Scarecrow Contemporary Dance every Saturday afternoon.
The winning entries of the 2015 Outstanding Art Prize are presented in the experimental exhibition, "This is Not a Poisoned Apple," which features artists Wang Shao-Gang, Wu Ping Sheng, Chiu Yu-Chi, Wu Jian-Xing, Zhu Wen-Yi, Chen Yung-Zheng, Chen Guan-Hong, Sun Zhi-Xing, Chang Wen-Xuan, and Liu Xin-Ying, as well as the winner of the Curatorial Plan Category under the project titled "Very Accident."
