Situated in the South East of China, Taiwan was at the crossroads of many maritime routes and squeezed between its neighbors, China and Japan. After centuries of foreign occupation, Taiwan has a unique history. Taiwan, Art and Civilization sheds light on Taiwan's beautiful scenery as well as its colorful history in the form of a true initiatory trip. Through magnificent illustrations, Taiwan reveals its secret beauty, its fauna and flora intertwined with its unique architecture. Home of the traditional and the modern, the gorgeous island is also the home of a very dynamic artistic scene. One thus fully grasps why the Portuguese named her Ilha Formosa, beautiful island.
Book Synopsis Refracted Modernity by : Yuko Kikuchi
Download or read book Refracted Modernity written by Yuko Kikuchi and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1990s Taiwanese artists have been responsible for shaping much of the international contemporary art scene, yet studies on modern Taiwanese art published outside of Taiwan are scarce. The nine essays collected here present different perspectives on Taiwanese visual culture and landscape during the Japanese colonial period (1895–1945), focusing variously on travel writings, Western and Japanese/Oriental-style paintings, architecture, aboriginal material culture, and crafts. Issues addressed include the imagined Taiwan and the "discovery" of the Taiwanese landscape, which developed into the imperial ideology of nangoku (southern country); the problematic idea of "local color," which was imposed by Japanese, and its relation to the "nativism" that was embraced by Taiwanese; the gendered modernity exemplified in the representation of Chinese/Taiwanese women; and the development of Taiwanese artifacts and crafts from colonial to postcolonial times, from their discovery, estheticization, and industrialization to their commodification by both the colonizers and the colonized. Contributors: Chao-Ching Fu, Chia-yu Hu, Yuko Kikuchi, Kaoru Kojima, Ming-chu Lai, Hsin-tien Liao, Naoko Shimazu, Toshio Watanabe, Chuan-ying Yen.
Book Synopsis Art for Social Change and Cultural Awakening by : Wei Hsiu Tung
Download or read book Art for Social Change and Cultural Awakening written by Wei Hsiu Tung and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artistic residency has become widely adopted in Western countries while only recently having become popular and well-supported within Taiwan. This book explores the challenges that this form of art practice faced in contemporary Taiwan from the revocation of Martial Law in 1987 to the 2000s—arguably one of the most exciting periods in the sociocultural history of the island. Case studies show what is at stake politically, historically, and socially in artists’ endeavours to give shape to a sense of Taiwanese identity. Despite the prevalence of artists engaged in social issues in today’s world and the undeniable contributions of artistic residency to contemporary art practice, little literature or scholarly research has been conducted on the practical, conceptual, and ideological aspects of artist residency. Very often, it is perceived in very narrow terms, overlooking explicit or hidden issues of localism, nationalism and globalization. If artistic residence did indeed emerge from the radical movements of the 1960s and 70s in the Western world—and especially Britain—then this book argues that the contemporary sociocultural context of Taiwan calls for redefined, culturally-specific models of residency. The precarious geo-political situation of Taiwan has made issues of cultural identity—tackled by artists and successive governments alike—very sensitive. A new genre of artistic residence in Taiwan would mean that artists involved from whatever cultural background operate as engaging interpreters; their roles would not be confined to mirroring culture and society. These artists-in-residence would contribute to cultural awakening by offering ways of negotiating creatively with otherness, and this for the sake of a better social life and shared identity.

Book Synopsis Imagining Taiwan by : Sophie McIntyre
Download or read book Imagining Taiwan written by Sophie McIntyre and published by Modern Asian Art and Visual Cu. This book was released on 2018 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taiwan's quest for identity and international recognition have unequivocally been the most important issues in Taiwan over the past 40 years, and they continue to generate impassioned debate, nationally and internationally. This book explores the instrumental roles artists, curators and museums have played in Taiwan's nation-building process. It focuses on the post-martial law period, from 1987 until 2010, a transformative period when democratization gave rise to a heightened sense of Taiwanese nationalism, and when issues concerning Taiwan's identity vis-à-vis with China, peaked.
Book Synopsis Art and Cultural Politics in Postwar Taiwan by : Jason C. Kuo
Download or read book Art and Cultural Politics in Postwar Taiwan written by Jason C. Kuo and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the paucity of attention devoted to the uniqueness of Taiwan, Kuo (art history and archaeology, U. of Maryland) examines the country's visual arts for their embodiment of Taiwan's crises of national and cultural identities. Contents include how the Japanese colonized the Taiwanese using architecture and other visual arts, and how the Taiwanese decolonized themselves in the 1980s and 90s through the promotion of "Taiwan Consciousness." Two major modern artists of the late 50s and 60s, Chuang Che and Liu Kuo-sung, earn their own treatments, and Taiwanese artists born after WWII occupy final chapters. Lacks a subject index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its increasing wealth, a growing and better-educated urban population, and one of the world's largest trade surpluses, Taiwan has shed its identity as an impoverished, war-torn nation and joined the ranks of developed countries.

Book Synopsis Modern Taiwan Calligraphy and Paintings a Study After 1949 by : Chang Wen-Ching
Download or read book Modern Taiwan Calligraphy and Paintings a Study After 1949 written by Chang Wen-Ching and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of modernism has brought tremendous changes to all aspects of society. The great development of materials, science and technology shapes a severe situation. But cultural development seems increasingly weak and extreme, which requires revolutionary and breakthrough thinking. Based on such circumstances, the development of calligraphy and painting art, in the greenhouse of our ancient civilization, is still hesitating instead of moving forward. There is no way forward. Neither does it have a little sense of changing. Of course, under such a premise, we can see that a lot of artists both in mainland and in Taiwan are actively exploring and they don not forget their historical mission. This is quite a relief. I now produce this article not for simple, brutal criticism, but to summarize. I hope to give the future generations a reference and if it will be able to play a role as a guideline, it is very meaningful.

Book Synopsis Transformation! Innovation? by : Christina Neder
Download or read book Transformation! Innovation? written by Christina Neder and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2003 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public discourse on cultural identity was not possible on the island of Taiwan until martial law was lifted there in 1987. While until then culture had mainly been an arena for the suppressed political discourse, the demise of the oneparty reign of the Guomindang (KMT) at the end of the 20th century signified not only the transformation from an autocratic to a democratic system but also the end of the cultural hegemony of the mainlanders on the island. The transformation process paved the way for further cultural innovation, the keywords here being education reform, language debate, establishment of new academic disciplines, historiographic reconstruction etc. It has also led to a widespread discussion of a specifically Taiwanese cultural identity which is reflected in literature, language, art, theatre and film. The international workshop "Transformation! - Innovation? Taiwan in her Cultural Dimensions", held at Ruhr University in Bochum from March 7th-9th 2001, set out to shed new light on these issues and generated an intensive discussion of potential new interdisciplinary approaches to cultural and literary research in the field of Taiwan studies.
Book Synopsis Inside/out by : Asia Society. Galleries
Download or read book Inside/out written by Asia Society. Galleries and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late twentieth century has been marked by momentous political, economic, and social change throughout the Chinese world. Deeply rooted cultural assumptions and ancient visual traditions have been challenged by rapid modernization and conflicting global, ethnic, and local identities. Inside/Out: New Chinese Art was the first major international exhibition to explore the impact of these challenges on artists in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and those of the 1980s Diaspora. The multifaceted exhibition and accompanying catalog encompass an extensive range of artistic forms, including installation, video, and performance art as well as more traditional media such as oils and ink. The art is grouped according to themes, some specific to regions and others that reflect widespread and overlapping trends. With the inclusion of ambiguous territories like Hong Kong and Taiwan, the exhibition opens up a perspective of modern Chinese art from the "outside" as well as a looking-out from the "inside." The catalog features essays by eminent Chinese art scholars and curators along with leading curators and historians of Western art. Together they promote Chinese art's rightful place in the contemporary global cultural arena and at the same time acknowledge the influence of its rich heritage. The diversity and freshness of the exhibition reflects the explosion of creativity among Chinese artists during the past decade. The ironic social commentary of Li Shan's The Rouge Series, no. 24, the "apartment art" of artists reacting against the traditional patronage of large museums and corporations, and Wang Jin's sly humor in portraying consumer fetishes in today's China are a few examples of the spirited artistry awaiting the viewers of Inside/Out.

Book Synopsis Cultural Policy in East Asia by : Lorraine Lim
Download or read book Cultural Policy in East Asia written by Lorraine Lim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to the contemporary issues that are occurring in cultural policy in East Asia today. Interest in East Asia has grown considerably in recent years due not only to the emergence of economic super-powers such as China but also to the cultural impact the region is making throughout the world through Japanese film and Korean Pop-Music. Addressing the relationship between the state, culture and the creative economy, this collection highlights how cultural policy within this region has to be understood within its social, historical and political context. By presenting a variety of chapters that examine the role of culture within the countries of China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan, this book offers readers an insight into the key issues affecting development of cultural policy in these countries. This book was originally published as a Special Issue of the International Journal of Cultural Policy.
