• The 6th Taipei County Art Exhibition

No longer using flat and dimensional works as categories, submissions were divided into “general” and “special.” The latter is an attempt to use a juror “responsibility” system, with one person in charge of evaluation, interpretation and exhibition planning.

“General submissions” were curated by Lien Te-cheng, with awards granted to include Wu Chung-wei, Lin Cheng-sheng, Lu Mi, Tu Wei, and Wang Te-Yu, and “special submissions” reviewed by Ni Tsai-Chin. Tamsui riverside continued to serve as the exhibition site, enabling the exhibition space to move from indoors to outdoors, as an artistic practice of its Taiwanized bentu discourse.

The 6th Taipei County Art Exhibition “special submissions” became the forefront of the local government-sponsored outdoor exhibition in Taiwan art history, leading the way for exhibitions “Earth, City, and Symphony: Taiwan Installation Art” in Chiayi City, “The Heart of History” in Lukang, Changhua County, to the performative practices of artists’ occupation of Huashan Winery in the future.
