Idea by Jia Zhen Tsai. Curated by Jia
Zhen Tsai (Taipei), Sally Haftel Naveh (Tel Aviv) and Anett Vietzke
(Berlin). Supported by Chews Culture Foundation (Taiwan), National
Culture and Art Foundation (Taiwan), Hong-Gah Museum (Taipei), Taipei
Contemporary Art Center, Israel Economic and Cultural office in Taipei,
Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Tel Aviv, Goethe Institut Taipei and Senat Berlin/ Senatskanzlei für kulturelle Angelegenheiten amongst others.
The
videoart-library and film program presents works of artists based in
Taipei, Tel Aviv and Berlin. Political, social and cultural identities
of the cities, as centers of controversial debates on the future of
community values and society, are determined, demanded and related by
crucial boundary experiences and confrontations with the other. That has
a deep impact on the local artistic and cultural practice. The
exhibition highlights artworks that develop and stimulate relevant
strategies of identity construction by exploring the self and the other,
the options of acting and suffering, ways of finding and inventing, the
role of the conventional and the extraordinary against a background of
colliding reality concepts. AMBIGUOUS BEING will be hosted by tamtamART
Gallery (Berlin: June, 2nd to 30th), KAV 16 Community Gallery (Tel Aviv:
July, 5th to 31st) as well as by the Hong Gah Museum (Taipei: August,
25th to September, 23rd ) on the occasion of TAIPEI BIENNIAL. Read more...
