TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — “Zero Gravity Universe” (無重力星空), a collaboration between British and Taiwanese artists, is the latest exhibition to showcase at Songshan Cultural Park in Taipei.
The new creation is one of a series of “Lab Experiment Plan” (Lab實驗啟動計劃) events recently launched at the park. It aims to explore art in an unlimited space rather than exhibiting artists’ imaginations towards the universe, Songshan Cultural Park explained.
Zero Gravity Universe is a collaboration between the British artist Wolfgang Buttress, the cross discipline team “BE”, which comprises musicians and scientists, and Taiwanese artists Fujui Wang (王福瑞)and Shu-Jian Chen (陳淑強). The team have projected their imagination of the distant universe across the venue using electronic devices and large-scale installations.
Chen’s installation piece Rendezvous Ⅱ (際會2) is the most apparent feature of the project when walking into the venue; an enormous collage of cotton strings and laser light projections. Buttress, BE and Wang will give a musical performance inside the sculpture on Sunday. [FULL STORY]
