The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the U.S. (TECRO) is pleased to announce that the exhibition “What do you see?—Meet Taiwan Contemporary Art” will be held from February 3, 2018 to June 30, 2018 at TECRO’s Twin Oaks Estate.
The six-month long event showcases artwork from five Taiwanese artists on the subject of reality and the ways in which we interpret our reality through sight and language. The exhibition, which includes paintings and sculpture works, hopes to create a dialogue with local artists and to foster cultural exchange and collaboration between Taiwanese artists and their international peers.
This marks the first time that works from Art Bank, Taiwan will be shown in Washington, D.C. A program under the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Art Bank aims to promote artistic creation and the cultivation of Taiwanese artists through a public collection program. Government agencies and private companies are encouraged to rent artwork from Art Bank for display in public places in order to raise appreciation for the arts, increase the circulation of artwork and invigorate the art market in Taiwan.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, Republic of China (Taiwan) and jointly organized by TECRO, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and Art Bank, Taiwan.
