Introduction:
Tainan is an old city filled with culture and history; it also has unique natural landscapes such as lagoons, wetlands, reclaimed lands, and sandbars. These landscapes are like the petri dish of the earth and further serve as a unique incubator with ecological diversity, these places. In 2024, Next Art Tainan gathers the works of 10 winning artists and 12 guest artists. These artworks show an unending stream of vitality, just like how Next Art Tainan nurtures and cultivates talented new artists.
With “Artcross the Universe” as the theme, this exhibition aims to combine Tainan’s unique and vibrant natural landscapes with Next Art Tainan’s cultivation of young artists. The formation of a universe symbolizes the “boundless, limitless, infinite” life, as well as the development and transformation of art. The exhibition explores personal experiences and observations of daily life, meanwhile bringing diverse contemporary aesthetics into the discussions. In an Internet-based generation, it further explores how individuals define, affect, and reflect on themselves in the fast-changing environment. This is a multi-faceted exploration of art, enabling the artists to search for the context and many possibilities of society in a boundless, diverse universe of creativity.
