New launch Typhoon positions itself firmly ‘in the eye of Taiwan's new artistic whirlwinds’, offering a comprehensive survey of the island's flourishing contemporary arts scene, shaped by a history of colonisation and the complexities of a hybrid identity.
Presented in a clear plastic slipcase, it highlights a broad spectrum of Taiwanese artists young and established, across two volumes titled ‘WE’ and ‘ME’—the former showcases work rooted in collective memory and social progress, while the latter revolves around introspection and personal experience.
Together they make for a highly visual and well-researched collection of photography, painting, installation, performance art, objects and more from a nation clearly deserving of more exposure on the global arts stage.
