ART TAIPEI 2018 INDEFINITE MUSEUM
GRAND OPENING PRESENTED ON 25 OCTOBER

Minyih Daily reporter CHEN ,ZHENG-CHUN reports /The sumptuous annual art event of the Asian-Pacific region, ART TAIPEI 2018, will be holding the opening ceremony for the 25th reiteration of the event at Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition Hall 1 on 25 October. The event will be attended by Deputy Minister of Culture Tsung-Huang Hsiao; Ching-Hsin Chung, Chairperson of Taiwan Art Gallery Association; Chi-Chang Tsai, Vice President of the Legislative Yuan; Political Deputy Minister of Education San-lu Fan, and other esteemed guests, who will launch and witness the official opening of the Taipei international art exhibition, ART TAIPEI 2018, which is themed “Indefinite Museum”.
     Chairperson of the Taiwan Art Gallery Association and the main organizer of the event, Ching-Hsin Chung, specifically extends appreciations to various important entities that gave their support in her opening remarks. These include: the Ministry of Culture’s support for the ‘Made in Taiwan— Taiwan Young Artists Connection with the World” exhibition over the dozen of years, sparing no effort in the cultivation of young artists; the support given by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council in terms of venue and administration over the years; the Ministry of Education in continuing its collaboration with ART TAIPEI, and surpassing the scale of collaboration of past years to allow over 800 high school and elementary school teachers and students from around Taiwan to participate in the highly meaningful art education day activities; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which has assisted in the management of international media and invitation of foreign representative from embassies and missions in Taiwan; the Tourism Bureau, MOTC in terms of providing and assisting in advertising the event, as well as listing the exhibition as an event of international level in the annual Taiwan tourism calendar; the advertising made by the Taipei City Government through the city, as well as co-ordination and other types of support that were offered wholeheartedly by other departments and units.
    This important exhibition that has stood tall in Asia-Pacific for the past quarter of a century has, this year, gathered 135 top quality art galleries from 13 different countries around the globe, with works that span classic masters, artists in the middle of their careers, to the young and the upcoming. Art categories cover oil painting, sculpture, painting, installation, video art, photography and others. This year, in response with the theme of “Indefinite Museum”, a special collection of art museum was established, where exciting works collected by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taiwan, Yu-Hsiu Museum of Art, Hong-gah Museum and Yo-chang Art Museum are displayed. In addition, to extend on the high degree of attention drawn by last year’s artists of the previous generation exhibition, the "ResonanceLoop - Art in Post-war Taiwan" exhibition has been curated. There is also the technology exhibition of “The Enigmatic Museum” and the “Window to Video Art” Collection Exhibition calls on the Taiwan collector association. Public installation art can also be found scattered around the exhibition, while the Xue Xue Foundation special charity exhibition, the Isabelle Wen concept exhibition that combines fashion with art, and the MIT - Taiwan Young Artists Connection with the World, all provide the exhibition with a richer and more diverse look.
    The academic presentations this year are in the forms of 4 art forums, 4 art lectures, and 11 art salons, to bring the art audience at large art exploration and exchange with global perspectives, where the idea of “academic first, then market” is also placed into the events. The exhibition is also collaborating with Taiwan High Speed Rail once more, to raise awareness and popularize art appreciation, by issuing joint HSR-ART TAIPEI tickets that is available nationwide through the 7-11 ibon platform. The VIP collector service that was active in these past two years also demonstrates the importance ART TAIPEI places on the collectors.
   As ART TAIPEI heads into its 25th anniversary, all the while richly cultivating Taiwan and introducing global perspectives, the event is of special significance for the art industry not just in Taiwan, but the Asian-Pacific region. In the past decades, countless artists, collectors and art workers have risen from the environment provided by ART TAIPEI; through the support and working hand-in-hand with the media and public that are passionate about art and are appreciative of aesthetics, new ideas and perspectives are constantly being injected into the event. This has allowed ART TAIPEI and the art collective at large to flourish and prosper together, making it a place of convergence for the artistic spirit. All these had been hard to come by, and we hope that ART TAIPEI will continue to bring exciting, innovative exchanges and can also bridge the commercial side with the academic aspect, and allow the erection of a beautiful indefinite museum in the heart of everyone.
