The
Taipei Cultural Center is pleased to present Summer Hot a
group exhibition in the lobby and the 2nd floor gallery.
During this art-quiet month of August, marking the end and
often hottest time of Summer, the participating artists have
contributed work that reflects their feelings, reactions,
visions, or interpretations of what Summer is to them. Rather
than create an exhibition that centers around a similar visual
element or style, Summer was chosen as something all artists
that have lived and worked in New York have experienced.
The artists exhibiting
in this alternative space are given the opportunity to share
with new audiences and create a dialogue with a Cultural
Center whose interests lie in creating new relationships. This
building’s presence marks an interest to open its arms
internationally and invite people into a “Window of
Taiwan”. Standing on the sidewalk, you are first greeted
with silent video work. As you enter the building and make
your way to the 2nd floor, the exhibition reveals diverse
media and subject matter reflecting the nature of the artistic
community that the Taipei Cultural Center has become a part
of.
Summer Hot is an extended network of artists who share a
dialogue in this sweltering city of New York. They range from
just beginning to exhibit their work to those that are
established within the arts. Summer Hot includes artists
living in New York from several different countries.
