Asia-Pacific Arts Forum

Kuandu Musuem of Fine Arts, Taipei

(Un)Masking: the Art of Disguise/Disclosure in Asia-Pacific Cultures

Taipei National University of the Arts and Yi-Lan National Centre of Traditional Arts will host a series of arts events from 6th to 30th October, 2005. The contemporary art exhibition, entitled 'Disguises and Identity' coordinated by Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts will be part of the series.

The invited international artists include Al Fadhil (Iraq), Zanny Begg (Australia), S. Chandrasekan (Singapore-Indian), Aissa Deebi (Palestine), Madan Lal (India), and Jakraphun Thanateeranon (Thailand); and Taiwanese artists, Wen-Hsiang Chen, Yuan-Nuan Fan, Shu-Jane Lee, and Paula Yeh.

The exhibition explores the impacts and the roles Asian culture plays in the process of interacting with the trend of globalization. The Forum is also to bring into focus issues of identity in the Asia-Pacific context as well as challenge the possibilities to change the existing modes of thought and discourse. This exhibition intends to examine the ambiguous, yet rigid, and sensitive, yet systemised, existing cultural forms from different aspects, and call into question the established social hierarchy and conventions. It also attempts to stimulate debates and discussions in art and cultural production and provoke the possibilities to loosen the existing social system.
