黑料不打烊

Taiwan relies on imports for 90 percent of its energy, but this island completely devoid of fossil fuels has a comprehensive petrochemical industry. This industry exacts an extremely high toll on the environment, a cost which has accumulated for many years, has been passed on the citizens of Taiwan, and constitutes an environmental and economic injustice spanning generations. Facing tightening energy resources in the current consumer era, we hope to create different possibilities that go beyond surplus industrial output. Being in our environment can be compared to being in a geochemical field, and individuals are chemically reactive molecules. People interact, bond, assemble and also transform one another to influence the features of the world. Contemporary art is one such catalyst of change and creates varying degrees of disturbance and variation in society. Make Sense presents paintings, photography, installations, video documentations and performance dedicated by 18 groups of artist: Chao-Tang Chang, Ting-Tong Chang, Jui-Kuang Chao, Min-Chun Lee | An-Chi Cheng, Hsiao-Lan Fan, Pei-I Hsiao, Hsin-Yao Huang, Wei-Min Huang, Ginger Wang | Ming-Ying Lee, Hoho Lin, Shu-Kai Lin, Yu-Hsien Su, Meng-Chang Tsai, Sheng-Hui Tseng, Pei-Shih Tu, Che-Yi Yang, Goang-Ming Yuan, Chong-Xiao Zheng. The exhibition is a meaning-based alchemical process which includes generating transformations, manufacturing possibilities, ideas and appraisals of the future. In this exhibition, concern for society and the power of cumulative change create something more sustainable鈥攎eaning.
