"What is precious about an independent space, by contrast, is the continued possibility of letting things grow organically, in a human way. We have the flexibility to respond quickly, and more importantly, we can give expression to our own character, our own positions, and those commitments and sensibilities that may not yet be recognized or accepted by the majority. That is the irreplaceable value of an independent space: it is a site where ideas can take root and retain the warmth of lived experience."

"Since the 1990s, the Gongguan district in Taipei has been a vibrant hub for record stores. Scaling from major chains like Rose Records and Tsubasa Records to renowned independent sanctuaries such as Space City, Jasmine Bookstore, White Wabbit Records, and Rotten Blues, it was the ultimate treasure-hunting ground for hardcore music lovers who lived through the era of physical music collecting. Recently, The Kubrick Project—an art space also nestled in Gongguan—launched "The Last CD," a solo exhibition by Tokyo-based artist Lee Han-chiang. Across shifting dimensions of time and space, the exhibition invites everyone to experience and reminisce about the glorious days of the physical record era."
