2019 Art Taipei- Out Space:Taiwan Avant-Garde Installation Pioneers

Led by Richard Lin Showyu, “Alien—Play of Space” 1984 is the starting line of the revolution of space. Experiment of two-dimensional painting enter three-dimensional space. “Transcendent- Play of Space Exhibition” 1985, presenting works that blended three dimensional-space, color and composition. The exhibitions have been regarded as the most avant-garde and controversial of their time. The non-humanistic aesthetic outlook, with universality of modeling, space and color opened up the deadlock of the minimalism in Taiwan.

Focused on geometric abstraction and multi-dimensional creation with space, took use of logical thinking and rational calculation of image to perform pure aesthetic with non-emotion, non-associative, non-descriptive mindset. Back then the post-martial law period in 1987, such a culture vibe had also reflected in experiments that exceed the boundaries of various media.

The blazing experimental creation that strongly express the ideas Jun T. Lai, Tsong Pu, Chang Yung Tsun, Hu Kun Jung made, could be considered as the most forward-looking art group at the time, even more, achieved the combination of industrial technology and art. It is the forerunner of Taiwan's installation art enlightenment, after 40 years of the art creation, they still adhere to the avant-garde trait, leaving great assets to Taiwan contemporary art history. The purpose of this curatorial is to restate the pioneers that broke Taiwan art installations and space guard at a time before video, technology and new materials were spreading to artistic creations.
