“Subzoology: 2020 Taiwan Biennial” beckons, inviting all sentient beings to voice their views on art.

49 artists/artist groups who partake in the Taiwan Biennial for the first time, demonstrating the sheer creative energy of contemporary art in Taiwan. Hosted by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA), the 2020 Taiwan Biennial will be on view from 17 October 2020 to 28 February 2021. Curated by Taiwanese artist YAO Jui-Chung and featuring a total of 49 artists/artist groups who have first-hand experience of Taiwan are invited for the first time to the 2020 Taiwan Biennial, 96 out of the total of 201 exhibits are newly created, a proportion larger than those in previous scales with a riotous profusion of art forms ranging from painting, installation, video and performance art. The 2020 Taiwan Biennial also features the curatorial strategy of empowerment of the new generation curators as a means to promote the development of Taiwanese contemporary art.Apart from the main venue at the NTMoFA, many emerging alternative spaces around Taiwan are invited to host the satellite event and collateral events organized by their respective in-house curators, attempting to broaden the biennial’s transdisciplinary horizons and increase artistic momentum with experimental curatorial strategies. An non-existing “zoo” will be staged at the NTMoFA Adopting “Subzoology” as its main theme, the 2020 Taiwan Biennial revolves around the international issues concerning the human-animal relationship addressed by the scientific, artistic and philosophical scenes. Based on the ten dharma realms in the Diamond Sūtra and treating the “Buddhist path of reincarnation into animals” as the point of departure, the curator seeks to encourage reflection on the long-term human plunderage and domination over natural creatures, stimulate public rumination about ecological and environmental issues, investigate the relations between humankind and other species in the post-pandemic era, and embody the spirit of the biennial, viz., treating the ecology and environment well. The exhibition comprise seven sub-themes “Sacrifice and Salvation,” “The Sub-history of Wildlife Trade,” “Portrait of Unknown Heroes,” “Laboratory/Operating Room/Specimen Room,” “Festivals/Sandbanks/Green Coverage Ratio,” “Beast Mimic/Tortured Beastnoid,” “Habitat/Zoo/National Park” and “Performance & Live Art/Multimedia Installation & Performance.” The biennial configures the exhibition venue into an non-existing “zoo” interlaced by rational deliberations, visceral thrills, and sensory experiences, in which the visitors will have a unexpected to chance encounter with the species and ecologies of all stripes created by the participating artists. 展覽日期:2020/ 10/ 17- 2021/ 02/ 28 展覽地點:國立臺灣美術館101-108、202展覽室、大廳、美術街、戶外廣場、衛星展及平行展展區 開幕式:2020/ 10/ 17 18:30 展覽網站:https://taiwanbiennial.ntmofa.gov.tw/ 策展人: 姚瑞中 YAO Jui-Chung
