Abstract
Art spaces and institutions run by artist groups and collectives started to appear in the 1990s, mostly in Northern, Central, and Southern Taiwan, with independent and avant-garde ideas, as discovered in all their exhibitions, to construct the features of Taiwan’s contemporary art. It is the pillar with which the art scene in Taiwan has built their collective cultural identity through localization, while it is also a channel through which we come to realize how the contemporary art in Taiwan has initiated a dialogue with the trend of globalization.
演講摘要
在90年代台灣北中南三大區域，以標榜著獨立性與自主性的訴求，由藝術家們自組的藝術空間策劃推動許多展覽，並以前衛藝術的精神，建構台灣當代藝術的特色。這個面向是台灣藝術界以地域性建立文化自覺與凝聚共識的在地化的砥柱，也是瞭解台灣當代藝術如何與全球化對話探討的一個重要路徑。
