Smiling a lot, the young and simple secretary is just an ordinary girl who gets money from her boss in reward for her first night. A naive part-time worker falls in love with an office lady and tries to win her heart at all costs. They are 3 typical kinds of modern people. They use “diligent” ways to be “lazy.” Like walking zombies, they escape from loving people with their “diligence.” This phenomenon is like a infectious disease. The harm and indifference infect people one after another.

Because of the busy business activities, it has become the prime site of the Fongshan District. Until today, the surrounding streets are still home to many tasty traditional delicacies such as spring rolls, pan-fried buns, salty silver needle noodles, etc. Fongshan is like a historical scroll of Southern Taiwan. Let the Kaohsiung Fongshan Holiday Cultural Tour Bus be your guide and take you to glide through this ancient city filled with abundant culture, history and living energies. In order to revitalize the historic monuments, Bureau of Cultural Affairs put 4 sets of Q-version historical figures according to the historical scenes of the academy. These figures give the whole academy liveliness and visitors like them so much. Fongshan Magistrate Cao Jin’s term of office was during 1837 to 1841 in Cing Dynasty. He put a lot of effort on infrastructures in Fongshan area. For example, to fortify the defense, he built more emplacements, city moats as well as towers over city gates. Also, he renovated the administration office and warehouses and built an irrigation ditch for Kaohsiung area, which is now known as “Caogong Canal.” Dadong Arts Center Fongshan Longshan Buddhist Temple Fongyi Academy Departure Dadong Arts Center Fongyi Academy Fongshan Train Station Caogong Canal 50 Fongshan First Public Retail Market One Day Ticket takes you through the ins and outs of Kaohsiung NT$ Bus operating times: Sat., Sun., and all national holidays (10:00-18:00; bus departs every 30 min.)

His administrative patrol team included people who were in charge of striking a gong and people who held the sign written “Su Jing” and “Huei Bi” (which mean “Be quiet” and “Avoid meeting” in Chinese) to call common people’s attention that the magistrate was coming. Cao Jin rode on a horse and his assistant accompanied him. The chairman who ran the operation of the academy welcomed them at the front gate.

He was famous for not only his diplomatic contribution but also his identity as a biologist. When he was off duty, he went to collect new wildlife species around different places and presented his discovery back in England. Many Taiwan species’ names were derived from his last name, Swinhoe. The famous Taiwan macaque is one of his contributions. He sent a specimen of Taiwan macaque to British Museum and found out this species is Taiwan’s endemic species. Thus, Taiwan macaques in Kaohsiung Tzaishan become one of the most representative spokesmen for Taiwan in the international arena.

Born in an upper-middle-class family in Tokyo in 1926, Mr. Imamura was often grouped with Nagisa Oshima, Seijun Suzuki and Masahiro Shinoda as a founder of the Japanese New Wave, which emerged in the late 1950's and early 60's to shake tradition-bound Japanese cinema. Through his works, we see the core value of his creation which lay beneath what he considered important— the lower part of one’s body, and the lower class in our society.

It can be best described as “the use of minimum materials and means to express the maximum sense of fulfillment and joy.” Drawing is the main method of artistic creation for Wang Tiu June and the themes of her drawings come from things commonly seen in daily life. Wang excels at using steady and calm composition, simple and clean light-dark contrast, and quiet colors to create a tranquil world without any interference. Each of her drawings is a beautiful record of her life experiences. Her works are simple, plain and straightforward without any dazzling technique or profound theoretical basis. They are just like the san-ho-yuan (three-section compound) she lived in during her childhood or like easy-to-read articles written in simple language. Just spend some time living in the san-ho-yuan or reading the articles, you will appreciate them more and derive joy and happiness from them. ◎ Wang Tiu-june; Autumn Leaves ; Crayon on paper; 52×76 cm; 2011 3/26-6/26 ■KMFA Galleries 101, 102, 103 Clues-Art by Textural Combination In response to the global trend of human-centered development and environmental conservation, the exhibition, Clues, is held to present the diverse creativity of 24 artists through their works of fiber art. In the works, viewers can follow clues to different stories and traces of life obtained through the artists’ observation. In a sense, this exhibition is a gateway toward 24 paths of observation of human life and universe. The number, “24”, is chosen for it is the number of hours in a day and the number of solar terms in a year as well. In addition to symbolizing the close connections between the universe and the fiber materials, the number also symbolizes the passage of time in the creation of these works. Since ancient times, fibers and textiles have been an indispensable part of human life. The simple intertwining of warps and wefts can weave out unlimited possibilities. Using the gentle, subtle and mild textures unique of fiber materials, the participating artists have created works that tell imaginary stories or stories about what really happened to the artists or to others on this land, in this society and in this everchanging world. 24 clues to explore the traces of life... ◎ Chuang Hui-Lin; Romance of Plastics-Nylon Snai ; Cable ties; 80×80×50 cm; 2013; Collection of the Artist 12/19/2015-7/31/2016 ■KMFA Gallery 104 Boundary Narratives—Sakuliu A boundary is an imaginary and imaginative space, a space that divides you and me, and a space where tides of different cultures intertwine and interact with one another. Based on the fact the histories of indigenous tribes in Taiwan were orally passed down generation after generation, this dual solo exhibition, Boundary Narration, displays the works by two indigenous artists, Sakuliu Pavavalung and Rahic Talif, who are pioneers in closely combining contemporary artistic creation and heritage of their indigenous cultures. The two artists are invited to write their own histories of tribal life by giving their description and interpretation from their perspectives as artists and then, based on their description and interpretation, the exhibition is intended to gradually construct the contemporary art chronology of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples representative of their cultural characteristics both traditional and modern. ◎ Sakuliu; A Talking Box ; Pencil on paper; 17.5×21 cm; 2003; Collection of Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts ◎ Rao Aiqin; Cliff of Love ; Oil on canvas; 140×170 cm; 2014 Address: No.1, Dayong Rd., Yancheng Dist., Kaohsiung City Tel.: 07-5214899, 07-5214881 6/3-7/3 ■Dayi Warehouse C7: HAM Gallery “Splits!

The container encompasses all the various and diverse concepts in the development of human civilizations, presented in a variety of ways by artists coming from around the world, to create a spectacle of aesthetic creativity. In recent years accompanied by the global concern and attention to the human environment, the containers in the Container Arts Festival also become a multi-culvert carrier of urban living, space, urban development as well as other issues. Therefore, “Ark of Tomorrow: 2015 Kaohsiung International Container Arts Festival” attempts to encourage a discussion between living and the environment, inviting architects to design an ark, carrying the introspective reflection and hope, from containers. Containers in the name of Ark are not only presented in a physical structure (carrier), it is also a box that incorporates a variety of thoughts and imaginations. Such imaginations focus on the future humanity’s multiple state of existence, from the reflection on the Earth that human resides on, to the concept of the diversity of life in extreme environments, and finally to the place people provide for the body and mind to be sheltered after trauma. This turns over the stereotypical image of the container as an industrial waste, allowing us to have a better realization of the city we rely our lives upon. ◎ Vertical-Studio+ H.G.H.

However, there is a group of soldiers mentioned by few people. Due to the displacement of generations and political alternation, they had no choice but to play a role in the tragedy of the times and did not know whom they were fighting for. Those Taiwanese soldiers become ROC Armed Forces from Taiwanese imperial Japan servicemen. Later, they turned into Taiwanese soldiers who fought for China and then become Taiwanese prisoners of wars. Facing the change of self-identities and people who they fought for, they suffered not only severe psychic trauma but also violation of human rights. They saw real-life examples that wars distort humanity but sadly few people care about it. Program / Troupe 5/28 Sat. Ostrich String puppet Chen Jing-gu and Po Zu God NT$149 Ching Fei-Fong 6/11 Sat.
