ALIEN Art Centre Ticket in Kaohsiung

Description

Exhibition Information Makoto Fujimura, Shozo Michikawa: Dust and Gold (2025.09.28 to 2026.08.30) Dust is impermanence, the everyday, the residue and continuation after material weathering; gold is the flash of light, the sedimentation of belief, the inextinguishable echo of spirituality. Two states of existence intertwined in the flow of time. This exhibition, co-presented by contemporary abstract expressionist artist Makoto Fujimura and ceramic sculptor Shozo Michikawa, starts from their respective sensitive perceptions of matter and profound spiritual pursuits, weaving a poetic dialogue about time and matter. This is the first large-scale exhibition in Taiwan for both artists, with works spanning from 1992 to 2025, including paintings, sound installations, and ceramic sculptures. Through the exhibition's three sections: [Shining in Silence], [Blooming in Adversity], and [Walking on Water], it guides people to perceive the beauty of tranquility from dynamic sculptures infused with natural minerals, light, and natural energy, opening up a new, gentle yet firm perspective when facing impermanence. Ho Kan, Kwon Soon-ik: Wandering Through Time and Space (2025.11.23 to 2026.11.01) Works spanning seventy years (1955 to 2024), including paintings, object installations, and early artist manuscripts, re-invoke the core spirit of "abstraction" in the East Asian context through a cross-generational and cross-regional dialogue between two artists. With "Form and Qi" as the curatorial axis, the exhibition spans 1955 to 2024, including paintings, object installations, and early artist manuscripts. It unfolds a perceptual rhythm through five major exhibition areas: [Order of Form, Flow of Qi], [Re-gazing at East Asian Abstraction], [From Stillness to Motion: Dots, Squares, Triangles], [Between Form and Qi: Gateway to Eternity], [Painting is the Bridge Between Us]. At the same time, cleverly placed design furniture guides the viewing angles and experiential flow. Jiro Kamata: Eye of the Celestial Sphere Miniature optical jewelry in the palm of your hand, carving the infinite imagination of cosmic light, and integrating art, fashion, and astronomical science in a cross-disciplinary exhibition. "Moving Art – Eye of the Celestial Sphere": Stepping into the world of Jiro Kamata's works, viewers will experience the temporal dimension from cosmic starlight. The artist combines contemporary jewelry (miniature optical sculptures) with light refraction and innovative materials to create mesmerizing artworks resembling black holes and galaxies. These works not only showcase the strange colors of starlight twinkling in the night sky but also convey fantastic associations with the unseen yet existing universe. Tickets grant access to current exhibitions in the museum.
