Taipei Fine Arts Museum has joined forces with le Fonds Régional d'Art Contemporain Nord-Pas de Calais to present the exhibition (http://www.tfam.museum/TFAM_Exhibition/exhibitionDetail.aspx?PMN=1&ExhibitionId=431&PMId=431). The exhibition showcases 66 works by 54 artists, designers, architects and design teams from around the world. It closely follows the trajectory of 20th-century Western modern art, from such avant-garde explorations as the readymades of Marcel Duchamp, pop art and Arte Povera to the cross-disciplinary thought of the new century. Exploring the differences in the way design and art define “objects” by considering the areas at which avant-garde design and contemporary artworks converge, the exhibition contemplates the relationships among art, design, objects and everyday life. It closes on September 9, 2012.
