FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 27, 2022) – International Arts & Artists and the Hillyer Gallery present the special exhibition “Fluid Boundaries: Four Artists from the Pan-Austro-Nesian Arts Festival.” It’s their first time working with the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts.
The exhibition reflects the fluidity of the artists’ self-identity, accentuating cultural characteristics that are in a constant state of flux. These groups of artists all identify with Taiwan’s indigenous people. Through a quest for their own identity roots, they elaborate on their feelings in their artworks, bearing a unique interpretation of the island’s history.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and coordinated by International Arts & Artists, TECRO’s Taiwan Academy and Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts.
The opening reception will be held on Friday, May 6, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The general public is invited to attend. Wine and refreshments will be provided.
There will also be an event called “Talk with the Curator,” on Saturday, May 7, from 1 to 2 p.m. Lily Hsu, a member of the curatorial team at Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts in Taiwan, will lead a tour of the exhibition. Ms.Hsu will talk about the concept for the exhibition and provide background information about the artists Labay Eyong, Chang En-Man, Idas Losin and the Tjimur Dance Theatre.
“Talk with the Curator” is free to the public. Registrations are encouraged, although walk-ins will be accepted, provided there is room.
