Details
The exhibition, titled "Synchronous Constellation: Stars Sharing Time – Artistic Perspectives Across Borders," is guest-curated by filmmaker Huang Ya-Li. It uses a film depicting the modernist poetry group formed in 1930s Taiwan as its starting point. The showcase re-evaluates the reception and development of modernity within Japan and Taiwan through art, film, literature, music, and theater. It aims to create resonances across eras, regions, and genres, offering a fresh vantage point on how Asian modernism was shaped through shared creative dialogue. The collection includes pieces from major institutions such as the Tainan Art Museum and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.
