the exhibition i saw was 'Taiwan Artists Today' that featured 4 contemporary taiwanese artists: KU Shih-Yung, CHEN Hui-Chiao and the twins CHANG Geng Hwa and Keng Hau. i enjoyed in particular the interactive nature and humorous attitude of their work and the interesting use of space. i remember walking out of the museum feeling very happy from the experience of engaging with the various artwork. it was very uplifting and inspiring. and the work is so fun to engage with anyone can enjoy it.
the big balloon with a man blowing it, floating in mid-air outside of MOCA is one of the work by KU Shih-Yung called 'Bubble Man'.
the photo on the right shows the work 'Window-peckers' by CHANG Geng Hwa. the peckers are activated by a motion sensor, placed near the windows discreetly so that one unknowingly trigger the pecking, of which the rhythm and volume of the pecking is also controlled by. this is just one example of the many interesting interactive installations which i unfortunately did not manage to take photos of.
sihlouette of man looking at another of KU Shih-Yung's work 'Lightness, the Way to Let You Lighter'. it is a video installation that uses mirrors to create the illusion of the globe.other interesting work include 'Black Gravitation' by KU Shih-Yung whereby a big black heavy-looking (marble?) ball is placed in the middle of a space about 4x4m on the second level, with the ground being transparent, one can see through the floor to the first level as you walk across to the next room. you are reminded of the law of gravity as you walk pass quickly feeling your legs getting a bit wobbly as you try not to look down but totally impossible to ignore the imagination that you are walking on thin air.
my words are weak in describing these artwork. if you are interested, do check out the website, there are more there as well. (www.mocataipei.org.tw)
