FreeS Art Space Introduction
The Taiwan Visual Arts Association (also known as Vision Alliance) and Hantu Society (established in 1998) have, in recent years, acted like a group of nomadic people riding on horseback, lacking a base and unfettered. Driven by their ambition for art, they have fought tirelessly in domestic and international museums, galleries, and art spaces, while also dedicated to developing, integrating, and supervising the existing resources of the visual arts environment. Now, at a moment of change, it is time for this nomadic tribe to settle down. We have made a forward-looking decision together—to "have our own home" and continue working for the art environment. "Having our own home" is just the beginning; it needs everyone's support to grow, to keep working for the visual arts environment, and to write a new chapter in history in the future. The space has been jointly named by Hantu Society and Vision Alliance as "FreeS Welfare Society." It can be interpreted in various ways as "a freely shared soul, space, and studio... etc." Hantu Society and Vision Alliance will uphold their original intention of serving artistic citizens and giving back to the art environment. In terms of using the exhibition space, aside from the projects planned by Hantu Society and Vision Alliance, a majority of the slots will be open for artists and curators to apply. We hope that through this space, more innovative ideas in art and exhibitions will be presented, and that the interface of the exhibition space will promote the new generation of artists in Taiwan to engage in in-depth discussions about art, broaden their artistic vision, and elevate the creative atmosphere, thus expanding artistic dialogue and exchange.
