This trilogy started from 2021 which was the beginning celebration of 20th anniversary of Taipei Artist Village. Taipei Artist Village (TAV) has hosted more than 500 artists-in-residency from different background and countries for past twenty years. A great numbers of exhibitions, workshops, and performances was happening on each corner of TAV. Many stories were hidden behind art works, spaces, studios, walls and even a chair. The titles of 2021, 2022 and 2023 were Beginning, Process and Turning. The project invited the artists who have been in this place to focus on the time of residency in TAV to create different perspectives about here and the relationship between the individual and the city, Taipei.

1. 23’ Turning 「是逗號是句號也是破折號」

2023 is the last year of TAV for operating. In order to emphasize the spaces where cultivated many talented artists, the key visual was made by the collage of the corners in TAV building. Also, following the works of invited-artists — the relationship of a body and a space, three elements—stairs, handrails and the roof—are metaphors for the process of composition. At the same time, it also reflects the Chinese title of exhibition—comma, period and dash—that forms a sentence completely.

2. 22’ Process 「是過去是現在式也是未來式」

Imaging the structure of TAV is an island which also reflects the island shape of Taiwan, it is welcome artists around the world to join artist residency program every year.

Combing three different times of TAV including past, present and future tense, it shows different textures of the island— solid color shapes, digital pixels and dash-line frames. They all co-live in a same time and a space and also happen each moment. Shapes represents different angles of TAV and people implying the scene of people’s exchange of culture, languages and thoughts.
