Jack and I always expect to see Taipei Biennial each year. Because it is the large-scale art exhibition which interfaces between contemporary art and the public.
The 2008 Biennial talks about the related issues arising from globalization as seen in Taiwan and internationally, such as Urban transformation, the situation of foreign labour forces, permanent conditions of war, ecological collapse, as well as opportunity for change. These issues are addressed through humourous approaches and DIY practices, which reflect the problems from different angles.
Therefore, the Biennial is not only an exhibition but a series of activities spread out in time. It could make you smile and laugh out loud, get you irritated or encourage your participation in, as well as tickle your curiosity.
