Satellite Projects

Art and Society Research Project
Initiated in 2009, this research project focuses on critical and politically engaged artistic practices and curatorial thinking, working to reexamine the role and significance of art's intervention in contemporary society. The project builds a database of contemporary art, publishes artist essays and interviews, and through seminars and research inquires into what distinguishes socially engaged art-making from conventional exhibition formats.

International Conference of the Curators’ Intensive Taipei 24
An international forum series centred on contemporary curatorial discourse, bringing together curators from around the world to explore curating as a method of knowledge production and cultural critique. Taking the pressing questions of the post-globalisation era as its axis, the forum deepens local curatorial education while building a cross-regional field for critical dialogue.

"Through The Last CD, Lee brings hundreds of album covers back to life through rigorous hand-painting. From content and medium to packaging and display, he completely deconstructs and refashions the materiality of pop culture. In doing so, he guides the audience to rethink the profound relationships between the idol industry, modern consumerism, and the intrinsic value of media."

"'The Rocking Dream' is not only a reinterpretation of the Si Tanggang story but also an indirect response to Southeast Asia's complex colonial history, forming a cross-cultural dialogue with Eiji Tsuburaya's tokusatsu tradition."
