Taiwan market while holding ourselves to the highest standards ofquality and celebrating the curiosity and innovation that belong
uniquely to Taipei.”Magnus Renfrew, Taipei Dangdai Co-Founder and Co-Director,

Highlights from the Fair
The third edition of Taipei Dangdai builds on its mission to
showcase leading galleries from around the world within thecontext of the very best galleries from Taipei and Asia more widely.
The participating galleries will show in three core sectors. In
addition to the Galleries sector, Taipei Dangdai includes special
sectors known as Edge, which subsidizes galleries founded within
the last decade selected on the basis of their overall programming,and Solo, which spotlights singular focused presentations by living
artists. Across all sectors, the two-way exchange of art and ideas
to and from Taiwan is clearly evident. International galleries like
LIUSA WANG (Paris) and Kiang Malingue Gallery (Hong Kong)
will present leading Taiwanese artists Musquiqui Chihying and Lai
Chih-Sheng, respectively, while many Taipei-based galleries,
including DOPENESS ART LAB, will present respectedinternational artists, in this case Roby Dwi Antono. Taipei Dangdai
continues to build on this foundation of encouraging and promoting
these deeply important patterns of exchange.
The Galleries sector of the fair will present premier galleries fromacross the world, with a predominant presence of galleries fromthe Asia-Pacific region. The 2022 Galleries sector welcomes anumber of galleries joining the fair for the first time, includinginternational leading galleries LGDR (New York, Paris, London,
Hong Kong), Galerie EIGEN + ART (Leipzig, Berlin), SPURS
Gallery (Beijing), INK studio (Beijing), and returning stalwarts likeDavid Zwirner (New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong), SCAI The
Bathhouse (Tokyo), and Esther Schipper (Berlin).

The Edge sector highlights and subsidizes innovative andpromising galleries that have been in operation for less than adecade, encouraging them to showcase the width and breadth oftheir programming. This year’s 7 participants include BANGKOKCITYCITY GALLERY, Double Square Gallery, Gallery COMMON,NUNU Fine Art, Galerie Julien Cadet, and 182artspace.
The Solo sector returns as an indisputable focus of Taipei
Dangdai 2022. With a spotlight on singular focused presentations
by emerging and mid-career artists, 16 participants this year
include the lyrical Chinese photographer Ronghui Cheng at UP
Gallery; the young painter Felix Treadwell with Carl Kostyál; andthe surreal scenes of painter Charlie Roberts at Woaw Gallery.

Highlights from the Public Programs
Taipei Dangdai announces six major features of the public
program for 2022, with a dual focus on the local context in Taiwan
and the expanded horizons of digital art.
According to Taipei Dangdai Co-Director Robin Peckham,“Proving their mettle in the never-ending search for the new, 71%
of Taiwanese collectors surveyed in 2022 UBS and Art Basel
Global Art Market Report said they planned to buy digital art in
2022, while only 30% said they had not sought out new artists inthe past year—a low among all markets surveyed. We are excited
to see these ambitious and focused collectors at the fair in person
this May, many of them visiting for the first time.”

A Hybrid Model: Online/In-Person
Adding a new online sector to the Fair for 2022, Launch Stage
invites highly curated platforms for digital art to showcase
individual artist projects representative of distinct positions in thefield, ranging from generative and interactive art to formal
experiments and critical discourse. This year, participating
platforms include Feral File, Art Blocks, Outland, and SOYL.
Launch Stage will be presented across a dedicated mini-site on
the Taipei Dangdai website exhibiting works from all four platforms
simultaneously, and each work will be launched live from the fairin Taipei.
As a final entry in Taipei Dangdai’s program of online public
programs prior to the Fair, an Instagram Live discussion was held
on Saturday 30 April 2022, inviting Casey Reas (Feral File), Jeff
Davis (Art Blocks), and Brian Droitcour (Outland) to discuss “New
Platforms for Digital Art.” This panel puts the spotlight on thedriving forces behind three of the top platforms for challenging,provoking, and innovative new media art today, and revealed
details of Taipei Dangdai’s engagement in the Space. For further

Building on the success of Taipei Connections from 2020, Taipei
Dangdai has continued to develop this OVR platform in order tohelp the gallery community connect and reconnect with thecollectors and arts professionals in our audience. Taipei Dangdai
has been designed and built as a regional fair, showcasing thebreadth of contemporary art from around the world for Taiwan’s
sophisticated collectors at this year’s in-person fair, whilecollectors from Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and southeast Asia will
gain VIP access to the fair through this online showcase. As such,the platform focuses on connections and intersections in richeditorial content, part of an ongoing program to engage galleries
and guests through digital programs.

Node, the sector for public art, presents large-scale art with afocus on spectacular and immersive works by artists from theregion, this year including projects by Shyu Ruey-Shiann (Double
Square Gallery), Chiu Chen Hung (TKG+), and Hao Jingfang
and Wang Lingjie (isArt).
Salon provides a platform to encourage and nurture collectors at
all levels of resources and experience through a showcase of work
priced below 8,000 USD from each participating gallery andfunctions as an on-site focal point for the Decoding Art activations
that take place throughout the year in Taiwan to nurture newcollectors. For 2022, Salon proudly includes affordable
contributions from the full spectrum of contemporary art, fromsought-after young names to established artists.
Each year Taipei Dangdai’s Ideas Forum acts as a platform forcreative ideas and thought leadership, returning in 2022 with acurated selection of talks with renowned cultural figures from
Taiwan and beyond. This highly multidisciplinary program
culminates over the fair’s duration, featuring art industry experts
as well as recognized public figures from literature, music, andphilosophy. For 2022, the theme of the Ideas Forum 2022 will think
through the "Escape into Understanding," the different gears that
we are asked to shift through as we use lanes for dramaticallydifferent speeds in the world today: the high speed of digitalcommunication as well as the low gears of locality that are
cultivated by phenomena like lengthy quarantine policies. The title
is drawn from media theorist Marshall McLuhan, who warned that"To high-speed change no adjustment is possible ... we must
escape into understanding." Selected speakers include Wild BlueMedia scholar Melody Jue, artist Ashley Bickerton, The
Membranes novelist Chi Ta-Wei, artist Timur Si-Qin, and artist
Shu Lea Cheang.
Returning for a second year, Taipei Platform consists ofcollaborations with partners in media and the non-profit sector,
with a focus on experimental performance events and aninteractive reading program. Workshops will be led by Walking
Grass Agriculture, ARTouch, CANS, HAGAI, La Vie, SOYL, Pon
Ding, Initium Media, OFF-SITE and FENKO Catalysis Chamber.

A Long-Term Proposition for Taipei
