The concept of this video comes from the four volumes in The Classic of Tea by Lu Yu during the Tang Dynasty — the “Origin,” the “Making,” the “Brewing,”and the “Tasting” of tea. Combining the image of tea with the subtle sounds made during the tea-making process in different environments, the video carries a tinge of Zen spirit into the viewer’s tea tasting experience. The Origin Starting with Dayulin, home to Taiwanese Oolong tea, bringing in the topographic map and the silhouette of the mountain foreshadows the relationship between the tea and the light, air, and water in the mountain. Black and white is a symbol of the primitive forces and the origin of the universe. The Making The gradually changing shape of the Oolong tea reflects its half-fermented state. The slowly increasing energy of fire suggests different degrees of roasting, thus giving rise to raw tea, half-ripe tea, ripe tea, and their distinctive flavors. The Brewing Water is the key element that brings out the flavor of the tea. Brewing is the art of putting the tea and the water together and enabling them to dance in unison. Regulating water temperature corresponds to the following text in The Classic of Tea, “In the first phase of boiling, water bubbles appear like fish eyes, and sound little. In the second phase, the water boils to the brim of the pot like strings of beads. In the third phase, the bubbles overflow like ocean waves; beyond the third phase, the water is overcooked and not suitable to drink anymore”. The unique sound of boiling water for brewing tea is accompanied with the visual image for the viewer to feel the transition of tea. Tea types can be decomposed into dots and lines, each represent the bead-shaped tea and the strip-shaped tea. The boiling water lays the foundation for the extension of lines and dots, which symbolizes how dried tea gradually unfolds itself in the water and releases its flavor. The Tasting A series of tea processing and brewing techniques result in a natural infusion with sweet and fruity aromas. The fragrance of flowers and fruits is visualized by the gradually changing colors. The color of tea concludes this tea tasting experience.

As an extensional context of thoughts, ‘Unhuman time’ by Che Chun Liu focuses on capturing concept of existence through the medium of photography with a documentary approach. The exhibition highlights the work of Liu from 2012 till 2018. Without the need to be described with excessive words, Liu’s pieces are able to convey a strong ideology with monochromatic visual effect like newspapers. The untidiness of shots create a dichotomy by inciting a sense of objectiveness. His style subtly breaks the stereotypical idea of portrait photography. The exhibition starts from a dark room with a light box. This installation explores the circumstances of delving into the unknown. It can be seen as the incubation of an embryo, a seed, or even a culture. Also echoes the theme of the art exhibition: ‘underground and experimentation’. By using the composition of different colours as the background of the piece, these colours symbolize the darkness of the soul, the grey conversation and the red of blood intertwined. At the end of the room there is a video repetitively playing, confronting viewers with the question: ‘is the existence of human definite?’ Here Liu wants to contextualize the relation between human and time, questioning the concept such as ‘the not yet’ and ‘the no longer’. Photography is substantially self-explanatory. Viewers are more or less able to capture the intention of the person behind the camera. The exhibition is intending to document the uniqueness of individuals and open a dialogue between mind and body. The artist expects to converse with viewers in an unconventional form of illustration, allowing viewers to subjectively interpret the piece whilst simultaneously looking into themselves from an introspective angle.

Tea is not only a beverage. It contains the aroma of culture, art and philosophy. Drinking tea is like taking bath inside out, it comforts our senses, recalls our rhythm and balance. XIE XIE TEA is not only producing the highest quality of tea leaves but also pursuing a newer tea experience and transcending a whole new level of consciousness and spirituality. Therefore, XIE XIE TEA is hoping to navigate tea and other cultures with senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch to a wilder map of art and culture. XIE XIE TEA film programme is also hoping to introducing different perspectives of art and culture in Taiwan from films produced by various directors. We would love to be channeling the communication to the audience directly.

On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Brief Moment in Time Yen Shui-long, Richard Lin, Michael Lin, Guo Jau-lan, Lee Ambrozy If museums formerly dictated art history through exhibitions, museums have now become sites for social gatherings, public platforms for cultural debate, and places where audiences gather to collaborate in the unpremeditated writing of art history. Understanding art history as belonging to the public realm, MoNTUE seeks to use its space as a stage where this act can be performed together with the audience as co-conspirators, joining a linguistic, temporal and methodological performance of art history. “On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Brief Moment in Time'' is borrowed from Guy Debord’s 1959 second film, a short documentary combining footage of his friends with scenes from mass media. Invoking the Situationist International legacy here, this is a proposition for transhistorical approaches to exhibition making, colliding artworks from across the 20th century into a single space and unifying them under a broad umbrella of family and social relations. The artists juxtaposed here are Yen Shui-long (1903–1997) who studied in Tokyo and Paris in the 1930s, and who devoted his career to the exploration of craft, design, art education, and public art; Richard Lin (1933–2011), whose art matured in the European context steeped in post war abstraction, but who later turned to post-painterly abstraction; and Michael Lin (b. 1964), whose large scale architectural interventions have explored questions of audience, locality, and tradition in international art exhibitions since the late 1990s. In different times and mental spaces, these three artists shared motivations and intentions to expand artistic vocabularies, engaging architecture design, and the effects of the market economy in different ways. Their lives and art have in common a history of international migration and engagement with Taiwan. Our curatorial strategy draws on psychogeography, defined as the emotional connections people have to place. The Situationist International, of which Debord was a founding member, practiced psychogeography in reconceptualizing how cities are experienced and mapped. They created new visuals for imagining the geographies, and expanding Surrealist and Dadaist affinities with chance encounters. Similar to psychogeography, our trajectories and experiential paths through this exhibition enable the discovery of new associations. Through an act of historical compression, multiple lives and work are collapsed into a single space, one where the works are in dialogue with the exhibition’s design, and by extension, the architecture. By making transparent the material and sociohistorical structures that frame contemporary art, “On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Brief Moment in Time'' brings together artists as interlocutors and provocateurs, scholars as collaborators, and audience as agents. As much as this is a historical exhibition, it is very much a living work of contemporary art that seeks to probe and multiply our readings and understandings of the individual works presented here. “On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time” YEN Shui-long, Richard LIN, Michael LIN, GUO Jau-lan, Lee AMBROZY Date|2021.04.24 - 2021.07.25 Venue|MoNTUE, Museum of National Taipei University of Education

* Pleasure,confidence , relaxation ,vitality , quality, comfortable, practical, versatile, these are the comfort of real life and the core of Fax Copy Express.We have a simple idea that we shall shape a brand of "outward comfort" with clear design and crisp, spacious sense of body. FAX COPY EXPRESS aims to return to a "normal aesthetic": it’s time to abandon the decorative aesthetics and go back to the product itself which carries the strongest penetrating power. Innovation is carved in our gene, while we are also dedicated to considering the frankness lacking in physical space with the fixed mindset of digital aesthetics, which is true authenticity.We want clothing to fulfill its main duties and return to its nature: essential items in wardrobe with the highest utilization rate and the lowest cost-per-wear, which not only conforms to the logic of present life, but also protect our body at critical moments and brings 24-hour comfort. This tall and straight but not stiff silhouette can sincerely modify human figure. Flexible fabrics and precise detail design are also underestimated virtues in contemporary fashion language.This kind of "normal aesthetics" that we want to emphasize can free us from daily life disrupted by digital technology and bring us pleasure, completely breaking the boundary between casual wear and formal suits.

Rather than simply being an arts festival, the Matsu Biennial is set out to be a ten-year project which aims to capture the transformation of the islands using a rationale based on five core concepts: Its curation is based on the foundations of the encounter between wind and soil; brewing sustainability through the accumulation of time; cultivating social concerns through long-term projects; defining the identity of the islands’ landscape architecture by incorporating space; and triggering an evolution in government and society by centralizing the idea of culture. These five interconnected rationales, along with the integration of multiple programs and professional teams, foster a network of individuals and events to construct the comprehensive curatorial structure of the Matsu Biennial.

APOTHEKE FRAGRANCE is an artisanal, handmade fragrance brand. Our products are blended, produced, packaged, and shipped by crafters at our Chiba, Japan workshop. The brand name is derived from the German word apotheke, meaning a place where fragrances and medicinal herbs are prepared, or in more modern parlance, a pharmacy. Like your neighborhood pharmacy, Apotheke Fragrance stays true to our customers’ lifestyles, prescribing scents for their everyday lives. The brand story begins ten years before its birth. Founder Keita Sugasawa, in his travels to different countries, was both impressed and surprised at the number of shops selling scented oils and incense. He was also surprised at the lack of such shops in within Japan. After returning to Japan, Sugasawa took a position at a Japanese fragrance maker as his first step to learning the ins and outs of the craft. In 2011, he established his own atelier in his boyhood home of Chiba Prefecture. This atelier became the new home of this hand-crafted fragrance brand.
