Annotation

In this book, the Japanese Artist and scholar Chihiro Minato documents the visual and material culture of the Sunflower Student Movement in Taiwan (2014). The first part, ‘The Voice of our Time’, introduces the student movement and highlights its connections to other protests around the world. The second part, ‘The Methodology of Revolution’, is divided into twenty-one sections with a spatial layout that highlights the various forms of artistic creativity such as Black Box, Parliament, Sunflower, body, configuration and so on. The significance of this book lies in its efforts to offer a conceptual framework for understanding the role of art in the Sunflower student movement and to assess the value of art’s contribution to this historically significant protest movement in Taiwan.

太陽花運動在保護(care)民主主義的同時,也為他者設想,兩者不可分離。... 每個人都動員自己擅長的事情、精通知識,以及特殊的技能,只要是做得到的 事,就動手去做。這種人類的「多工(多重任務處理)」現象,就誕生在『佔領』 這種特殊狀況之中

Asia’s Unknown Uprisings, Volume 2: People Power in the Philippines,Burma, Tibet, China, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand and Indonesia1947–2009
Directly democratic forms of decision-making and militant popular resistance are intimately woven together in these liberators movements. The conscious spontaneity and self-directed actions of hundreds of thousands - sometimes millions - of people, is nourished by communities of struggle. People’s self-organization is confined within a grammar of autonomy, solidarity, and decommodification. Histories of struggles on various continents and in different countries may seem juxtaposed across unbridgeable divides, but they nonetheless hang together in these qualities and in the connections forged by people as they struggle for peace and justice.

與社會交往的藝術:香港台灣交流展 Art as Social Interaction – Hong Kong/ Taiwan Exchange
This publication is the catalogue of the Art as Social Interaction – Hong Kong/Taiwan Exchange exhibition that was shown in Hong Kong and Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2014. The exhibition featured the works of thirty artists and artist collectives from Taiwan and Hong Kong, which explored new ways of connecting art, society and the public in East Asian contexts. In contrast to an earlier emphasis on ‘intervention’ or ‘participation’, the term ‘social interaction’ aims to avoid the binary between art and society by highlighting their interactive relationship. The exhibition was divided into several sections that focused on the different approaches and functions of art in society: art as social movement, art as education, art as companionship, art as ecology, art as cultural preservation, art as social design and art as residency in community and space.

Sovereign Words: Indigenous Art, Curation and Criticism
What are the commonalities across Indigenous experience, political struggle and artistic practice trans-regionally? What sovereign Indigenous projects find ground across the national spaces known as ‘Taiwan’, ‘Australia’, ‘Finland’, ‘Bangladesh’, ‘Samoa’ or ‘Canada’, to name a few? The anthology Sovereign Words makes a stride towards potentials of Indigenous dialogues across continents. The sixteen contributions emerge from the Critical Writing Ensembles workshop supported by OCA at the 2018 Dakar Art Summit.

Rice is more than just a staple food
When I finally got my own kitchen, I happily experimented with cooking at home, often following the recipe blogs of Indonesian expatriate housewives living abroad. Through discovering food preparation as a ritual of communication between self and others - and as an instrument for both healing and inventing identity - I felt inspired to study food as my core artistic practice.

創意空間-東亞藝術與空間抗爭 Creative Space – Art and Spatial Resistance in East Asia
The contributors in this publication are artists and theorists from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea etc., exploring the politics of space in East Asian cities. The recent upsurge and intensification of the forces of neoliberal capital has given rise to the increasing use of art and design as an instrument of gentrification. This publication serves as a document of their research findings, and suggests what roles art could play as both a critical social practice and site of resistance. Significantly it offers a detailed account of how artists are involved in acts of spatial resistance by creatively remaking space and by establishing connections between various forms of spatial politics across East Asia.

我們從未參與:第八屆深圳雕塑雙年展 The 8th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale: We have never Participated
This publication is the exhibition catalogue of the 8th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale: We Have Never Participated, that took place at OCAT Shenzhen in 2014. This exhibition coined the term ‘post–participation’ in the wake of the increased salience and focus on notions of process and participation as key to understanding contemporary art in the West. However, as suggested by the title of the Biennale, the artistic context in China is defined by the absence of historical traditions of participatory art. The significance of this catalogue lies not only in its documentation of the works featured in the exhibition but also in its inclusion of key essays by international scholars, such as Boris Groys and Shannon Jackson; essays by Zheng Bo and Su Wei that introduced recent artistic development in China; and Lu Pei–yi’s essay entitle ‘We are Participating: Taiwan Context’, which directly addressed the Sunflower Student Movement that took place in Taiwan in the Spring 2014.
