2021 Recording: Housing Things: Compilations, Gatherings, and Practices Shared in An Art Space

SUMMARY

This video documents the collaboration between NCAF and Yo-Chang Art Museum in support of the exhibition project by curator Tsou Ting, recipient of the Curator's Incubator Program @ Museum. It presents footage and interviews from the art venue, execution process, and curatorial experience of Housing Things: Compilations, Gatherings, and Practices Shared in An Art Space.

In order to discuss how exhibitions produce relationships and how art can be brought to the public, Housing Things: Compilations, Gatherings, and Practices Shared in An Art Space takes as its exhibition spaces the 9 Art Space and the NTUA Art Village located on the north side of National Taiwan University of Arts (NTUA), which are now part of the Yo-Chang Art Museum. In face of this special institutional environment, how do the artistic activities that take place here today echo the local history of yesteryear and outline the spatial imagination of tomorrow? When the viewer steps into the buildings that were once somebody's home, as if they were viewing a house or visiting a friend—an experience reflective of "domesticity", this opens up the curatorial context of Housing Things: Compilations, Gatherings, and Practices Shared in An Art Space.
