The Ministry of Culture announced the list of 36 artists to receive subsidies for international exhibitions Feb. 10 in Taipei City as part of an initiative to facilitate exchange between local creators and global institutions.
Recipient Huang Meng-chin, associate professor in the Department of Communication Arts at Fu Jen Catholic University in New Taipei City, in collaboration with Polish artist Anna Orlikowska, will showcase contemporary visual arts at the National Museum in Szczecin, Poland, the ministry said. Photographer Val Lee, on the invitation of Aomori Contemporary Art Centre in the Japanese prefecture of the same name, will team up with a local football association for the blind to give a performance, the ministry added.
The ministry encouraged Taiwanese art institutions to build cooperative networks with overseas counterparts, providing as an example an agreement between the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts in the southern city and the New Mexico Museum of Art that will allow the textile art of Indigenous weavers from Taiwan to be displayed at the museum’s Vladem Contemporary annex in Santa Fe, U.S.
The MOC’s financial support for middle-aged artists was launched in 2024 and has facilitated exhibitions by more than 200 local artists in 22 countries around the world. One such event, entitled “A Blast of Lyricism,” was held Oct. 30-Nov. 15, 2025 in London, and featured nine artists’ pieces.
According to the ministry, of those works, Ava Hsueh’s “Reaction-Dawu,” Chen Chun-hao’s “Imitating Flying Cascades in Autumn Woods by Fan Kuan, Song Dynasty,” and Lee Jo-mei’s “Worm Track” have recently been incorporated into the collection of the London-based British Museum. The MOC pledged to continue leveraging similar projects to enable Taiwanese artists to create a profound impact on global art. (POC-E)
