Asian Art Biennial 2015
Artist Making Movement
9 September – 6 December 2015
National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts

Curator: Iris Shu-Ping HUANG
The theme of 2015 Asian Art Biennial reflects on the restlessness and instability observed in today’s Asian society, with these anxious movements coming from people’s feelings of discontent with life, dissipation of the so-called small happiness, a sense of comfort zone, and also security mechanism failures.
