A Leader of Contemporary Art — Helping Taiwanese Art Connects to the World.
向下閱讀
Not only do we love contemporary art for the collection, but with the spirit of investment, we look forward to the overall environment of Taiwanese contemporary art being complete and keeping up with the international trend.
RC's first contemporary visual art sponsorship was the production of the website of IT Park in English based on the concept of "alternative space". It not only includes exhibitions and artists' introductions but also involves a whole English version of other commentaries. It can be considered an English database for artists, providing references for foreign curators or artists. We believe this will be very helpful in enhancing the international visibility of Taiwanese artists, and this is also the core of RC's concern.

We support the operational management of the Taipei Contemporary Art Center (TCAC) starting from 2012. The TCAC plays a role as a hub for contemporary art. Differentiating from the conventional public art museums, this is where many artists can gather together and form units from the bottom up. The TCAC allows artists to freely express themselves and create art projects based on their ideas. In terms of international exchange, TCAC also invites internationally renowned artists or curators to give speeches and actively play the role of connecting non-profit art spaces internationally.

“Supporting contemporary art in Taiwan requires not only focusing on the artists but also having excellent curators. By continuously and steadily accumulating energy, Taiwan will eventually be seen and shine on the international stage.”

Another key focus in promoting contemporary art is the sponsorship of curators, ranging from supporting the operation of exhibition spaces to sponsoring international exhibitions. By doing so, we hope that curators can stand on the international stage of art and lead Taiwanese artists forward. As most of Taiwan's large art museums are primarily public and strive to avoid interaction with commerce, there is still room for improvement in the synchronicity between industry, government, and academia in the process of art development. This also differs from the requirements of foreign art circles for curators. Therefore, Taiwanese curators must be able to synchronize with international trends and possess advanced research and perspectives, as well as a thorough understanding of the international art world. Thus, the curators in Taiwan will be able to set topics, have argumentative abilities and design frameworks, and even have their unique points of view.

Therefore, another major project supported by RC is the "Cube Space" project. Founded by curators, the project aims to promote contemporary art, develop humanistic thinking, connect local networks with the world, and understand the historical contexts of art. RC hopes that, via the curators' high visibility and international perspective, they can bring Taiwanese art to the world and achieve the goal of educating and connecting with young curators. The preference for contemporary art is not confined to absorbing a wide range of artistic knowledge, having sufficient insight, or collecting artworks. The main goals are to assist Taiwanese artists in reaching the international stage, connect Taiwanese art with the international art scene, and increase Taiwan's visibility. By providing in-depth cultivation from different perspectives, such as supporting artists' creations or participating in international exhibitions, it is hoped that Taiwanese art will shine on the international stage someday.
