Urban Oasis
This year's Landscape Art Festival was originally scheduled to be held in 2021. Due to the epidemic, it was postponed to 2022, and the name was added with "+", giving this event the courage to face unknown challenges in the face of the spread of the epidemic. The 2021+ Taoyuan Landscape Art Festival will run for 17 days from March 11 to March 27. This year's exhibition is held in the metropolitan area - Taoyuan - for the first time. With an attitude of reflection, the curatorial main axis of "urban oasis, close to mountains and waters" is proposed. Respecting the natural ecological balance and its appropriate beauty, and using art as the body and technology as the use, the works will lead us to experience the nature in the city. This year's exhibition area includes Hutoushan Innovation Park, Nankan Riverside, Taolin Railway and Hutoushan, which is the earliest development place in Taoyuan. The urban characteristics of Taoyuan include the fusion of old and new, multiculturalism, and ethnic mobility. At this moment, we are gathered in the newly built urban landscape, and we can see the texture and depth of the landscape from the axis of time, the technological city, the industrial and commercial society, the agricultural era, and the cultural layer of the archaeological site 4,000 years ago has been discovered in Hutou Mountain. Landscape is not only the appearance of the environment, but also the sum of people and the environment. Forests and rivers, insects, birds, fish and shells, and railway relics are the background and creative elements of this year's works; it is both history and the present. The multi-dimensional artistic creation, public participation and performance activities are integrated into the local ecology and humanistic aesthetics, and the essence of the oasis can be felt through the light and shadow of the city. The texture of the landscape aesthetics of the festival can ultimately improve the living environment of the waterfront and green space, and improve the livable and happy urban landscape.
