Animamix Biennial 2009-2010
Date: 27 Dec 2009 - 11 Jan 2010

 

The well-known curator Victoria Lu describes this new trend in art as Animamix. It does not refer simply to the completed animation or comics alone but rather its derivative products and the subculture that has developed around it.  We are not just extending this definition to items related to people’s lives but also to food, clothing, home and transport; where almost nothing is excluded. The value of the output of the Animamix industry is not just in the artworks themselves, but rather in the totality of the combined or multiplying cultural forces of an era. The production and marketing of Animamix art will become a most important link in the creative industry worldwide. This type of artistic creation is in perfect harmony with popular culture; in this new era, the division between high art and low art no longer exists. This new type of art records in the virtual world the creative forces of our lives and saves them in the fourth dimension of the electronic and digital worlds. When Victoria Lu curated “Fiction. Love” in 2004 at MoCA Taipei, she became aware of a new trend in aesthetics, and in 2006, when she curated a new version of Fiction@Love at MoCA Shanghai, she coined a term to describe this new trend: Animamix, combining ”animation” and “comics”. Animamix Biennial 2009-2010 is the first major cross-straits international Biennial jointly hosted by four museums. It consists of four different exhibitions curated by Victoria Lu, Beatrice Peini HSIEH, Maple Yujie LIN, PAN Qing and LIU Chunfeng. It will open at the end of 2009 and continue into 2010, at four venues: MoCA Shanghai, MoCA Taipei, MoCA Kaohsiung and  Today Art Museum  in  Beijing. Exhibits illustrate the scope of aesthetics in the new century, reflecting the theme that art creativity leads to a better life, and extends the possibility of arts’ realization by means of technology.
