This year marks the fifth “CROSS-STRAIT FOUR-REGIONS ARTISTIC EXCHANGE PROJECT”. It is jointly organized this year by the He Xiangning Art Museum from mainland China, Macao Museum of Art, APO, and Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts from Kaohsiung (with the other three organizations invited by the He Xiangning Art Museum). The exhibition of the Project this year takes on the theme of “Crossroads. Another Dimension” with the intention of reflecting the artistic and cultural realities of four different regions across the Taiwan Straits in the modern world of globalization and reflecting how artists move around among the four regions in pursuit of survival and more creative space. This exhibition displays over 41 multimedia works by 16 artists recommended by the curators from the four regions (four artists recommended respectively by each curator). Their works demonstrate a brand-new kind of diversity in artistic expressions and narrative exchanges. The fact that the exhibition is held respectively in the four regions is also an extension of the intended discussion of spatial mobility and displacement, showing the artists’ different interpretations of and participation in different layers of “spaces”. This exhibition provides an unprecedented platform of dialogues among the artists in four regions across the Taiwan Straits.
