Hsinchu City Art Gallery has been established for 10-full years. The Gallery transformed from a Japanese Occupation period City Hall to an iconic contemporary art exhibition site in Hsinchu area. "Floating Glimpse of Our Homeland – Hsinchu City Art Gallery 10-Year Anniversary Exhibition" invites 6 artists who belong to different generations and regions on November. Hsinchu City Mayor Lin Chih-chien states 6 artists use different angles and mediums to discover the past, present, and the future of this city (Hsinchu City); let arts root in our city, and improve urban aesthetics through this featured exhibition.
Mayor Lin points out "Floating Glimpse of Our Homeland" invites 6 artists with different backgrounds and use distinct art languages to tell the story of Hsinchu City. The public can see different scenes of our city through diverse perspective; from street views that can be seen every day, to the interactive creation based on the child’s dream observed during globalized immigration era.
During the press conference, the curator Chang Lihao expounds the curation idea behind "Floating Glimpse of Our Homeland." He believes that our city is evolving, and people should not limit the evolvement on refurbishing facilities and improve functions of buildings. He points out that uncovering meaningful sceneries and humanities that connected to the residents are also important tasks to be considered in order to create a wholesome city.
Suzuki Takahiko, an artist from Japan, uses photo shots and computer editing to resemble and map 3D models to represent Taiwan's unique street scenery from the Globalism perspective. The artist Tang Tangfa uses the traditional market as his theme and combines special device, paints, and sculpture to echo with the topic on remolding Dong Men Market. He said "art can be the details hidden in daily lives." The local artist Chou Taichun records the island's disintegration as a bystander. Hung Tienyu draws nature sceneries, his "Empty Scenery" art series opens up a new vision between human and nature. Yang Cheyi's "Dreamers" project is targeting children; using drawing, videotaping, recording, device, and Taiwanese Chizizai as interaction methods to set children's dreams flying. Chen Pinhua creates "City Hall Art Apartment" which is composed with images that store memories and stories – photos.
