International Residency Research Program Sharing Session
In the post-epidemic era, international exchange activities in the contemporary art field have gradually increased, and both Taiwan and foreign institutions are launching residency programs and holding international forums. Yu-Lun (Fiona) Hsu, a student of CCSCA, was selected to participate in the ‘Curatorial Intensive Indonesia 2024’ held by Independent Curators International (ICI) and took a 10-day intensive training in Yogyakarta and Bali. This year, the Asia Society Switzerland collaborated with TheCube Project Space to assist Giada Olivotto, an independent curator from Switzerland, who was selected for Curator Residency, to conduct a two-month in-depth research trip in Taipei.
2025 Praxis School | A Topology at the End of History Lecture Series
Since its establishment in 2016, TheCube Project Space’s The Praxis School has organized annual lecture series dedicated to creating platforms for in-depth discussions on art, culture, and social issues. Over recent years, the series has explored histories of technology and human-object relationships, culminating in the exhibition Madeleine Moment: The Technology of Memory and Sentiment in 2023. In 2025, amidst an era characterized by daily shocks and transformations, Praxis School shifts its focus towards historical inquiry. The first three lectures, organized in collaboration with theater critic Wu Sih-Fong, will feature a lecture series titled "A Topology at the End of History," delivered by scholar and art critic Kuo Liang-Ting.
Archive Frenzy – On the practice and methods of archives
For this lecture series, four panels of speakers have been invited to open up discussions on the significance and applications of “archives” in contemporary art production: I. How and why do artists utilize archives; II. Archives and thought patterns; III. Archives and Freedom of Speech; IV. Fieldwork, documentation, and archive.Through these themes and cross-sections of archives and its relevance in contemporary art explored in these four lectures, we hope to illustrate the complex relationship of archives with concepts, actions, and applications; as well as to raise follow-on questions worthy of attention and exploration in the “archive frenzy” of the current artistic environment.
