He was a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements. He produced major works in a variety of media but considered himself a painter above all. He was best known in the art world for his avant-garde photography, and he was a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. Ray is also noted for his works with photograms, which he called “rayographs” in reference to himself. With totally 156 works by Man Ray on display, this exhibiton is a comprehensive presentation of his artistic creation in different stages.

It later on also became the inspiration for contemporary Asian artists. This current exhibition, curated by British curator Stephen McCoubrey, presents important works from the private collection of UBS. Spanning across the past half century, these works begin with the classic American Pop Art of the 60s, move on to the most influential European artists during the 80s and 90s, and conclude with the most exciting artists of the contemporary Asian art scene. Works of artists including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg demonstrate many different interpretations on the contemporary consumer culture with their diverse and accessible presentation methods. From past to present, from the classic to the avant garde, from the west to the east, these works invite us to reflect on our society and the everyday life.

The first one is to look at how this Western art movement has converged and merged with local objects and symbols in Taiwan from the historical perspective. This dimension also reflects the diversified facets of Taiwan’s history as a world factory. The second dimension is to look at how Taiwanese artists have “processed” and “reproduced” the forms and spirit of Pop Art, adding different kinds of brand-new and fun interpretations to its themes, materials and spirit. From this exhibition, viewers can appreciate how artists incorporate their careful observation of local living environments and contexts in their processing of fine art into something more appealing to the general public’s taste, and how artists play with symbols from folk culture, cartoons, politics, or business in creating many interesting and inspiring works that discuss the relationships among artistic creation, popular culture, social issues and consumerism.

Also on display are photographic portraits of the artists that reflect their unique personalities through the photographers’ interpretations. In this exhibition, the energy of cross-disciplinary integration of art and culture converges, bringing viewers a feast for their eyes, ears and hearts as well as helping to fulfill the purpose of museum collection for art education and promotion.

The reciting is filmed by Huang Ming-chuan, a director. 5/24-8/17 ■Gallery B01 The Era of “Lion Art” Lion Art Monthly is Taiwan’s very first professional art magazine. Over its 26 years of publication from 1971 to 1996, there have been totally 307 monthly issues of this magazine. It contains thorough and confident records of a vibrant chapter in Taiwan’s art development. The perseverance and ideological concepts behind the magazine are more valuable than its commercial values. The members of its editorial team for each issue are now heavyweight scholars and critics with continuous influence on Taiwan’s art and culture. From this exhibition, viewers can travel back in time to those years of vigorous and pure artistic creation in Taiwan The first issue of the Lion Art Monthly recorded in Lion Art Monthly . 2/22-5/25 ■Galleries 201-203 A Symphony of Printmaking and Painting: The Art of Liao Shiou-Ping Because of his print masterpieces and outstanding achievements in the education and promotion of the art of printmaking, Liao is reputed as “Father of Modern Printmaking in Taiwan”, who has won a lot of major international awards and whose works have been collected by major art museums at home and abroad. Undoubtedly, Liao’s print works are already well-known and well-discussed in Taiwan. However, it is only by looking at the full picture of Liao’s life as an artist that we can better understand this master and his art and then have deeper appreciation of its soul-touching beauty. This exhibition displays over 100 works created by Liao using different kinds of media such as print, oil painting and sketching. It is the first exhibition in Taiwan that takes an unprecedentedly comprehensive retrospective of Liao’s art, presenting a symphony of artistic creativity and life wisdom in front of viewers.

Within just a few years, she curated many diversified exhibitions and created an abundance of works in different varieties. She received several awards both at home and abroad for her exhibition curation and artistic creation. In 2010, she was recognized with the 8th Taishin Arts Award for Visual Art. Born in Kaohsiung in 1966, Hsu died of illness in January 2013. Before she passed away, she donated the majority of her works to Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts. This exhibition is held to commemorate this outstanding female artist who suffered a premature death, showcasing her works from 2001 to 2013. This exhibition is the first and also maybe the last of its kind to fully present Hsu’s works for viewers to appreciate her legacy in whole.

Most of the participants in this activity over the past years are now still active artists and many are starting to gain recognition locally and internationally. Therefore, the Kaohsiung Awards have been widely regarded by all the enthusiastic artists as an important milestone in their artistic careers. The Kaohsiung Awards in 2014 attracted about six hundred artists from every corner of Taiwan who submitted works. After rounds of careful selection and review, five winners of the Kaohsiung Awards were selected; also, there were nine winners of “Excellent Work“ Award, three winners of Observer’s Award, and several winners of Honorable Mention. The winning works demonstrate different levels of artistic strength and diversity, rich in vibrant vigor of artistic creation. Showcasing all the winning works, this exhibition is an exciting feast of art that cannot be missed.

Viewers are compelled to find pauses in the fast-changing time and space depicted in his works and slowly gaze at the seemingly familiar but strange images. In this process, there is a subtle tugof-war between fast (the works) and slow (the viewers), between speed and pause. This kind of “slow vs. fast” contrast also echoes with the discussion of “tangible existence vs. intangible Pink Rhythm ; 2011 ; Mixed media ; 18×18cm ; 48- panel painting existence” in his works.

By confronting the deepest lust inside human directly, the explosive story brings the critics and audience to this sexual feast.

It is also a milestone of Taiwan’s film censor history that allows the very first uncensored version to be screened in the whole Asia.

Therefore, the KFA has started to screen Taiwanese films regularly since 2011, with hope to provide a platform for Taiwanese films to the local audiences.
