Spotlight Taiwan: Contemporary Taiwanese Art, Culture and Cinema in Scotland
There had been exciting development in the Taiwan cinematic landscape in recent years, with more high quality and diverse films made each year as well as gaining international attention and recognition. Taiwan Film Festival provides a unique opportunity to see some of these great examples of contemporary Taiwan cinema on big screen, many of them premiere first time in UK.
7 award winning feature films by emerging Taiwanese filmmakers had been handpicked to share with the audience of Edinburgh, each with a unique theme and telling touching modern stories in Taiwan, connected by the common thread of relationship and family. We hope they give a glimpse into the kaleidoscopic life of Taiwan. We are also honoured to have 4 directors and cast from the films to attend audience Q&A after the screening, as well as an Asian Film Workshop in Edinburgh College of Art and Piano recital by Yu-Siang Huang, the leading star from “Touch of Light” in the Reid Concert Hall during the week of the Film Festival.
In promotion of Asian culture and art, a public lecture series by Dr. Lyu-shun Shen, artist Chieh-jen Chen and Prof. Pao-Hsia Hsueh will examine the issues on identity and history through archives, maps, cultural perspectives and visual arts.
To create more dialogue, we also host an art forum on Taiwanese Art focuses on 20th-century Taiwanese artists, who received aboriginal Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese and Western art inspirations and developed their own art into an unique visual presentation of Taiwan's great cultural diversity. Through the study of modern and contemporary Taiwanese artists and their circle, this event poses ‘Beyond Island’ as its main theme and addresses "margin/edge", "preserve/transform", and “space/phantasms” main as conceptual strands. The forum will focus on the challenges of staging Taiwanese and East Asian art across lines of cultural difference, institutional affiliation and the boundaries between art and design.
Beyond Islands: Contemporary Taiwanese Art Forum is consist of eight papers in three themed panels, 1) ‘Writing History’ of Contemporary Taiwanese Art; and 2) Local Colour and Global Vision: Biennial and International Exhibition and 3) Art Policy and Development, followed by a roundtable discussion on challenges and prospects on policy development and art commissions of Asian art in Western institutions.
This programme aims to put the Taiwanese art in a global context by investigating its artists, networks and policy development. This event will be the first art forum in the UK dedicated to the study of modern and contemporary Taiwanese art and artists.
The 2013-2014 Spotlight Taiwan project is organised by History of Art at the University of Edinburgh, in collaboration with Ministry of Culture of Taiwan (R.O.C) and the Filmhouse. A series of events will be hosted throughout the year to celebrate contemporary Taiwanese Art, Culture and Cinema in Scotland.
