This exhibition was chiefly designed for the visually impaired, but the needs of the general public were also taken into consideration. The planners hope to combine the sensitivity of the artists to create an environment of contemporary art in which viewers must use all of their senses to see, smell, touch, hear and taste. Through this unique design, the visually impaired can experience the beauty of art in a place that requires them to use all their senses, while other viewers are given the opportunity to experience arts using senses other than vision. Through the interaction of both the general public and the visually impaired, all viewers will learn to better care and love each other.
Based on such this concept of art education, Taipei Fine Arts Museum has invited the artists Jun-jieh Wang, De-yu Wang, Ma-li Wu, Jeng-cai Chen and Kai-huang Chen to plan this exhibition. Before this design concept was formed, the museum had arranged a meeting to let the artists meet some visually impaired persons, so that the artists could better understand how the visually impaired move and use their senses. Based on how the visually impaired perceive things through their other senses, this event comes to be what it is now.
Ecstasy refers to the great pleasure in emotions. "The Invisible and Visible Exhibition" refers to not only the difference in viewers, but also the interaction between these two viewers. Differing from previous contemporary art exhibitions formats, these artists have shown their originality through their works, while also taking the wholeness of the space into consideration. They have transformed their exhibition space into a wonderfully pleasant environment, almost an 'art garden.'
This exhibition owes specially thanks to the funding from "Caring Forward".
