The 3rd Taiwanese Student Association (TSA) exhibition of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC)

Every day people cross paths and interact with others, creating intersections of communication. The concept of “crossing” bridges the culture gap and artistic value to produce a broaden perspective of art from the intersection of the artists and the audience. The exhibition features the essence of multi-cultural overlap of Taiwanese artists practicing in Chicago. When the alien turns into the native, domestic into the foreign, struggles and conflicts ensue. Experiencing their identities of being culturally marginalized, the selected works of the Taiwanese of SAIC voice their understanding and initiate a public dialogue with the audience.
