Nowadays, more and more people in Taiwan have emigrated or are emigrating to other places on the world map amidst the trend of globalization. There is no telling now which place is the place of origin and which is a foreign place for people originally living in Taiwan and for those from other countries. Through the imagination of “traveling” and “ocean,” this exhibition creates for viewers imaginative experiences of landing onshore in the south of Taiwan after a seaborne voyage. The works in this exhibition are mostly the contemporary works collected by KMFA. In this exhibition, viewers can be temporarily released from the positions as “spectators” or “local people” and put themselves into the shoes of “foreigners”, appreciating the stories about “here” and “there”, about different people immigrating into or emigrating out of this island.

Regrettably, Lin passed away in 2011 and Ms. Yan Siao-liang, his wife, decided to donate a generous quantity of his works to the KMFA. Three years after Lin’s passing, the KMFA holds this exhibition, displaying mostly the works from Ms. Yan’s donations and several works borrowed from other art institutions. It is hoped that, through this exhibition, the public can appreciate again the works of an art master who has left the world and also appreciate the timeless values of art.

Soon raids and counter-raids build to a final bloody heart-wrenching battle. Akira Kurosawa Japan│1970│DCP│color│ 140min│PG│3F│Tickets for Sale Yoshitaka Zushi, Kin Sugai, Shinsuke Minami ★Akira Kurosawa' s First Ever Color Film The film focuses on the lives of a variety of characters that happen to live in a rubbish dump. The first to be introduced is a mentally challenged boy who lives in a world of fantasy in which he is a tram conductor. He is both the tram and the tram driver and follows a set route and schedule through the dump; his dedication to the fantasy is fanatical. The film title refers to a Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound made by a tram or train while in motion ( "Do-desu-ka-den dodesu-ka-den do-desu-ka-den"). The sound is made by the boy as he makes his daily faux-tram route through the dump. 3/8 Sun. 14:00 • 3/11 Wed. 19:00 • 3/22 Sun. 14:00 • 3/25 Wed. 19:00 3/15 Sun. 14:00 • 3/18 Wed. 19:00 • 3/29 Sun. 14:00 Film Salon at KFA 3.7 Sat. 15:00 1F Film Maestro Akira Kurosawa and His Classics Guest speakers: Apple (Senior Film Critic), Cathy Liu (Columnist, Film Worker) 3.29 Sat. 15:00 1F From Kaohsiung to the World through Short Films – Documentation of the World’s Largest Short Film Festival, the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival Guest speakers: Rochella Wang (KFA Program Section Chief), Lin Yen-hsien (KFA Promotion Section Chief), Happy Together Lot33 Live House Address: Penglai Warehouse B10, Pier-2 Art Center (No.99, Penglai Rd., Gushan Dist., Kaohsiung) Tel: 07-5210017 Opening hours: Weekdays 14:00-00:00; weekends and Opening hours: holidays 11:00-00:00; closed on the last Opening hours: Tuesday of every month Website: Facebook/ In Our Time https://www.facebook.com/in.our.time.taiwan With the core concept being a “visible radio station,” In Our Time provides live performances that attach great importance to the sound quality of performers and concurrently broadcasts it live on an Internet radio station.

In such a contemporary context, arts exchange leads to exploration of cultural sources and also gives rise to the related issues worthy of profound thinking; for example, the internal transition of landscape in realty occurring under the intertwining and overlapping landscapes/spectacles of reality, the importance of cultural reference in the context of globalization, the contemporary art searches in the multidimensional reflection, and so on. The exhibition not only provides an insight into the cross-Strait artists’ reflections, thirty in total, on both personal existential experiences and societies they live in, inviting viewers to access art from various angles, but also fosters more possible orientations for visual dialogues to take place within the space of art museums.

Although she just expanded her artistic repertoire to fine brushwork painting, she recently has developed her command of skills and insights into this newly learned art form. In the Chinese title of this exhibition, the term “Han Dan” is an ancient Chinese expression for lotus, giving a straightforward indication of the exhibition theme. Lotus is one of the most representative topics in the art of Chinese bird-and-flower painting. In traditional Chinese ink painting, the lotus is often portrayed as a symbol of purity out of dirty sludge. In her paintings in this exhibition, Hsieh celebrates the beauty of lotus just like the other artists but, more importantly, she adds more philosophical depth into her paintings by highlighting the beauty of the lotus starting to wither and wilt in autumn. Based on her previous experiences of painting from life, Hsieh used both techniques of abstract and realistic representation to convert what she has seen, learned and thought about lotus into her paintings that cross the boundary between fine brushwork painting and impressionist ink painting. Her paintings give a brand-new reinterpretation and redefinition of what lotus painting is in the art of traditional Chinese ink painting. Guest Speakers: Huang Sun-quan 4/1 Wed. 19:30 Classical and Jazz Music: Result Presentation by the Ying-Ming Junior High School Orchestra Chiu-ter Chiu has been working with glass for over twenty years; fascinated by the unique beauty in the plasticity and crystal clear quality of glass, Chiu’s research focuses on the artistic presentation of glass as well as exploring the mysterious and beautiful charm of glass as a material. Chiu presents forms and expressions by performing high temperature experiments in which objects are continuously melted and seized, deconstructing shapes and colors, seeking out new imageries and emotions that evolve from traditional styles, using abstract art forms to express inner feelings, and contemplating new ideas. Chiu’s inspirations originate from an intuitive feel for the beauty and harmony of nature, so themes and concepts of Chiu’s works are often based on real-life experiences and emotions as he creates new artistic expressions and contexts.

After careful selection and discussion among the judges, a total of five Kaohsiung Awards winners, eight Excellent Work Awards winners, and three Observer Awards winners were decided along with the other works selected for the Kaohsiung Awards Exhibition this year. In addition, owing to the support from the HCS Calligraphy Foundation, the Kaohsiung Awards Competition started to offer the “HCS Special Award for Calligraphy/Seal-Engraving Works” this year. Because all past winners of the Kaohsiung Awards are now active in the field of art as emerging artists at home and even abroad, the competition is now viewed as an important touchstone and milestone of career development by many aspiring artists. With all the talented artists competing against one another for the highest honor every year, the Kaohsiung Awards Competition and its exhibition have become an exciting center of attention for many members of the art world, both domestically and internationally.
