Taipei Popcorn, L’œil du cyclone (Eye of the Cyclone)
Le Lieu Unique, Nantes, France
07 October 2022 —
08 January 2023
The exhibition Eye of the Cyclone explores Taiwan’s vibrant and diverse contemporary art scene, echoing the daily concerns of its population, as well as the interactions between the island and its environment. This exhibition presents ordinary, everyday life where celebrations and disaster coexist, and lingers on the interactions between the individual and the collective in our globalised world. How should we react to environmental change, or to being tossed about by surrounding political storms? How are we to form an opinion in a whirlwind of information that mixes fact and fiction?
Somewhere between tradition and anticipation, these 15 works by contemporary artists paint a cultural portrait of Taiwan while exploring the frontiers of contemporary imagination.
