The theme of the exhibition consists of two key points —— "dual senses" and "dynamic views", aiming to explore the academic proposition which is the relationship between languages and concepts in artistic ontology. Contemporary arts across the Taiwan Straits have developed from relatively single art styles to diverse status at present, and the most obvious one is the evolution of languages and concepts. More and more artistic thinking and creations have returned to the study of artistic ontology; therefore, the expressions of artistic languages and concepts dimensions tend to focus on being more diverse, complex and present. "Dual senses" is a kind of state of a language, and a manifestation of new ideas. "Dynamic views" possess the characteristics of "dual senses", whose art languages have intercrossing, experimental and new art status. It redefines many artistic forms that can not be classified by concepts. Meanwhile, it also suggests a kind of contemporary cultural evolution, concept of dual senses and shift of visual senses, causing the vitality of "dynamic views" generate at the new edge. Thus, artistic practices can link with social life and culture. These works selected by this exhibition start to construct new concepts from languages, and create rich visual art forms from concepts, then open discussions and negotiations of art across the Taiwan Straits under the rapid changes of globalization. Works at the exhibition show artists have created a kind of new concept from a new language dimension and strengthened a kind of new visual culture under the artistic phenomena and cultural directions or frames across the Taiwan Straits in recent years, which also correspond to the theme of this exhibition. One can say that "dual senses" and "dynamic views" are closely related and commonly produce homogeneous and heterogeneous cultural organisms.
This exhibition will showcase in Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts from June 11, 2011 to September 11, 2011.
