Future Pass

Curated by Victoria Lu, the exhibition at National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung (http://www.ntmofa.gov.tw/english/ShowInfomation1_1.aspx?SN=3531&n=10134) features a total of 180 exhibit works by 130 artists/teams. It focusses on the theme of Animamix, illustrating the curator's interpretation of the variety of the artists' styles and the development of contemporary art in the 21st century. Organized around the dualities of East/West, Past/Future, Yin/Yang, Universe/Individual and Virtual/Real, the exhibition looks into the processes in which Asian contemporary arts, having been inspired by traditional art forms while at the same time significantly influenced by contemporary cultural forms such as anime or other forms of popular culture and intertwined with the social, political, economic, and cultural milieus in which the artwork is produced, develop new visual styles and languages that characterize the visual experience of our present century. The exhibition will close on July 15, 2012.
