TAO ART

Perhaps the best part of Tao Art Space is a chance to meet the artists.  When we first visited (November 2021), we were greeted warmly by Hsu Ling-Hsuan (許菱軒), who was staffing the gallery.  It was a thrill to have her interpretation (in both senses of the word) of the "INFO-LABOR. CO" installation, produced as part of the gallery's Peach Project, driven by new artists.

Ling-Hsuan's English was excellent, and she gave us some insight on the culture and generational forces that spurred the art. We soon realized with a thrill that it was her thoughtful and accessible text featured in the exhibit and printed guide.  We also had a few moments to talk with her fellow artist, Tsai Chih-Nin (蔡之甯), about her excellent design.

A return visit (January 2022) showed similar innovation and variety within "Sub-existence," featuring different artists. This time, the internal, ineffable qualities of the soul were explored. It was not clear if the artists were on hand this time, but Ling-Hsuan happened to be available and met us again. We realized, later, how much out of her way she went for us.

The immersive quality of both installations is what stands out, and is clearly a guiding part of the gallery's mission. The gallery as a whole is a small space, nestled in the corner of the 8th floor of an indifferent, even sterile office building. (The building owner may not yet be aware of the extra foot traffic he might encourage for all the tenants, if even a hint of Tao Art Space's exhibits were teased from behind the lobby's plate glass.) The artists, thankfully, are working with complex ideas that are bigger than their physical confines--yet can be packed in a suitcase and explored upon your return home.

The biggest risk of visiting Tao Art Space is accentuated during these lonely times of Covid-19. One wants to stay in such a space of engagement and yak about sound or design details. It can generate a level of enthusiasm that doesn't always have an outlet--due to time, convenience, or social awkwardness. One sees the results of these artists and one wants to join in. Sometimes the best thing to do, however, is to say thank you, stand back and cheer on. Bravo! 加油! 謝謝!

Wow! An amazing, futuristic exhibit in Chinese and English. First we were encouraged to walk through and experience it, and then one of the artists, Hsu Ling-Hsuan, guided us through and explained the work. The ideas are very valid for this day and age, and TAO ART is worth a visit! Thanks for an excellent, interactive experience!

來看萊恩·莫斯里的畫展
很棒的展覽空間
希望能展出2022年的《A Past Presence 》

州子街很有品味的藝術展場，位於大樓八樓，需先在一樓告知警衛，警衛幫刷電梯卡上樓。

數月之前來參觀，印象深刻，空間設計十分巧妙耐看，燈光均勻溫和，能良好呈現畫作，非常專業用心的佈展，期待再次來訪。

{ FOMO: Fear of Missing Out 王加加個展 }

藏身在內湖辦公大樓群裡的TAO ART Space，錯過第一檔的酷兒藝境，趁這次臨時北上的機會，當然要帶著水水來看展，也認識一下新空間，看展的過程中，回想起剛退伍那年，跟媽媽兩個人到香港的旅行，一樣穿梭在中環、上環，有許多的藝術空間也都藏身在商業大樓裡，猶如在都市叢林裡探險，畫廊空間是邀請日本當代建築師青木淳(Aoki Jun)操刀設計，善用材質變化去營造出的空間感，讓空間本身也就像藝術品一般的引人入勝。

{ STILLNESS：女性藝術家群展 }

也是一個很剛好在沒有人的時候來看展，終於見到好久好久不見的阿雲的作品，作品依舊迷人美麗，還有總是最溫暖的溫柔的風景。看展空場不外乎就是可以拍好拍滿，但是在最後離開時分，初次見面的Joe從辦公室走了出來說「看你看得很專注，所以就先不打擾你看展...」言下之意就是在我拍的很開心的時候，在鏡面網美拍的時候全部都被透過監視器看到了!!哈哈哈，當下就是想要頭也不回的奔出畫廊呀~~~XDDDDD
