FreeS Art Space Introduction
The Taiwan Visual Arts Association (Art Union) and HanTu Society (1998) have, in recent years, been like a nomadic tribe riding on horseback, without a base and unrestrained. Driven by their ambition for art, they have been battling in domestic and international museums, galleries, and art spaces while striving to develop, integrate, and oversee the existing resources of the visual arts environment. Now, they are at a turning point; it is time for the nomadic tribe to settle down. We have made a forward-looking decision together - to "have our own home" and to continue working for the art environment. "Having our own home" is just the beginning, and we need everyone's assistance to grow and continue to strive for the visual arts environment, to write a new chapter in history with greater aspirations in the future. The space has been jointly named "FreeS Art Space" by HanTu Society and Art Union. It can be interpreted in multiple ways as "the free and shared soul, space, and studio, etc." HanTu Society and Art Union will adhere to their intention to serve art citizens and give back to the art environment. For the use of the exhibition space, besides the programming planned by HanTu Society and Art Union, most of the schedule will be open for artists and curators to apply. It is hoped that through this space, more innovative art and exhibition ideas can be presented, as well as to promote a deeper exploration of art by Taiwan's new generation of artists, opening artistic perspectives and creating a vibrant artistic atmosphere, thereby expanding artistic dialogue and exchange.
