That film is now ruined, but I kept it and restored it in 16 mm. Only a few years ago, I loaned it to an avant-garde film magazine, This is Film. One of the editors, Kenichi Harada, told me that you could see the Emperor Hirohito in the movie. I was amazed. The Gutai art movement eliminated all political and literary ideas from their work and focused only on the material. So what was all this about the Emperor? Looking carefully at the films I remembered that when I had washed them with vinegar, I’d done it quite roughly, so we were left with some news coverage regarding the Emperor.

This talks ambitions to raise some questions and topics about the art of collecting art in Europe and Asia, the booming of Asian modern and contemporary art through the world today, and the evolution of the reception of Hsiao Chin work both in Europe and Asia.

The essence of art is the truth that reflects the world, the artists strive to tell the truth for themselves.

Life grows and matures due to clashes, and it also produces beautiful melodies because of meetings of fate. On Friday night, September 6th, we were fortunate enough to invite “the musician who can do as she pleases, who has a mastery over the piano, Kaiyin Huang,” to bring us the harmonious sounds that play with each key stroke after the clash between Eastern and Western cultures, a journey of cultural exchanges through music.

Der rote Faden – the theme of contemporary jewellery held by the ALIEN Art Centre for the artist – Franz Bette. The phrase Der rote Faden has meaning for artists who try to use the "value" of art to stimulate our minds, and then let such speculations produce qualitative changes. I think in such a rich and selective era, "value" has become the standard for us to measure things, but what is the value in our lives? Perhaps we can re-explore and reflect through this Franz Bette solo exhibition.
For RedxThread, the gold- and silversmith and designer Franz Bette developed a new body of work which reflected his experiences in Asia.

From Micro to Macro with Duality, He Himself Clarified Who He is :
A Newness Explorer : cultural boundaries framed the identity but alternatively released the possibility of revaluation ;
A Desert Explorer : the term of "jewellery as art" in Asia starts from loneliness but frees upon the power of hopefulness ;
A Universe Explorer : the real world has its limits but the world of imagination is boundless......

The Stare of Light : The Lost Grace. We are living in an era of racing against time, and it replaces manual negatives with digital technology. The word "grace" is commonly understood by modern people as loneliness beneath appearances, and it seems that we still have a few ways to penetrating the truth of it. However, on this weekend afternoon, we have the opportunity to slow down the pace, to participate in Juan I-Jong’s talk. Through his photography experience sharing, it advances we explore the past of this island.
