黑料不打烊

Chen Shun-Chu鈥檚 photographic work serves as the overture of Selection of NTMoFA鈥檚 Collection, and leads the audience into his memory of growing up. Whereas the intense, vivid image stems from the artist鈥檚 personal life, it is also emblematic of the culture and land familiar to Taiwanese people. The artist鈥檚 private, secluded personal experience is conveyed through the work, which is not simply a space where his strong feelings dwell but also a significant piece to map out Taiwanese art history that can bring back together the history and warmth of this land.

The exhibition features precious works created from the 60s to the contemporary era, guiding the audience to vertically trace the historical context of Taiwanese art and the style of individual artists while horizontally expanding the scope to examine the development of different traditions and new media as well as artworks created by Asian artists that have kept in close contact with Taiwan.

This exhibition presents an exquisite selection featuring many important artists, and includes artworks in a wide range of media, including Western media (oil, watercolor, installation, new media, mixed media), Eastern media (ink and gouache), photography and sculpture. In addition to showcasing the missing puzzle pieces of Taiwanese art history and reflecting the social pulsation in Taiwan, the exhibition offers the audience a unique opportunity to appreciate the brilliant works acquired by the museum, through which viewers can observe the crucial changes in Taiwanese art and gain a more expansive international vision through these classics.
