The Artist-in-Residence Taipei Special Exhibition provides a platform for artists to create, exchange ideas, and experiment within Taipei’s diverse cultural landscape, thus fostering the city’s artistic development.

The exhibition focuses on the historical development of the Artist-in-Residence Taipei (AIR Taipei) program and is divided into three sections—Past, Present, and Future.

The Past of the Artist-in-Residence

This section explores the evolution of residency policies and mechanisms, featuring historical records, archival photos, and key milestones that underscore AIR Taipei’s influence in the arts scene.

The Present Moment

In the Present section, artists’ studios are recreated and AIR Taipei’s online residency exhibitions, developed in response to border restrictions during the pandemic, are showcased. It highlights how artists adapted their creative approach to continue engaging with audiences despite being unable to be physically present.

The Future Ahead

The Future section invites visitors to envision the possibilities of future artist residencies through interactive installations. Here, attendees can actively participate in the creative process, sharing their thoughts and expectations for the future of artist residencies.

More than just a residency program, AIR Taipei serves as a bridge connecting artists, communities, and the city. It encourages artists to explore local culture through their work and engage audiences by sharing their stories and ideas.
