CALL FOR ENTRY: Challenging Time: Online Exchange and Research Residency Program between Thailand and Taiwan
15 October, 2020
The Challenging Time, Artists Exchange and Research in Residency Program aims to expand the existing network between the arts communities of Taiwan and Thailand by inviting artists and curators from each country to exchange ideas and conduct research in a residency program. We would like to create this exchange program between curators and artists from both countries in a residency program running from 3 weeks to one month, during which they will visit artists’ studios and connect with local arts communities and art institutions, as well as policymakers on their topic of interest.
An exhibition tour, site visits, individual meetings, and roundtable discussions will be led by professionals, among them Gridthiya Gaweewong (Artistic Director, Jim Thompson Art Center, Bangkok) and Frankie Su (Director, Hong-gah Museum, Taipei). Program Keynote Speakers will include Nobuo Takamori (Independent Curator, Curator of From Cold War Perspective to Global South in Museum Collection at Taipei Fine Art Museum), Wei Yu (Curator, Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab, Co-Curator of 2020 Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition-ANIMA), Eva Lin (Independent Curator, Public program curator of 2020 Taipei Biennial, and Co-Curator of 2020 Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition-ANIMA), Thanom Chapakdee, (Director, Khonkaen Manifesto, Khon Kaen) and Vipash Purichanont (a member of Curatorial Team, Thailand Biennale, Korat, 2021).
Due to the COVID 19 crisis, we are still unsure about the future, if the pandemic will return in a second wave, and when border restrictions will be eased. This online residency program will help both curators and artists take time out to do research and learn more about each other and contemporary art practices in relation to the social, political, economic, and cultural context. Exhibition tours and lectures along with studio visits will be held online while a proposal presented after research will be included, and there will be further possibilities to realize the proposal off-line. It’s also important to exchange ideas on how to deal with the uncertainty in this unsettled world.
