The PhotoPhore is proud to be partner of Art Revolution Taipei 2016 (A.R.T.), organized by Taiwan International Contemporary Artist Association, Asia’s iconic art fair. Challenging conventional art shows designed around galleries, A.R.T. pioneers in its curatorial vision of placing the artist front and center, with every booth standing as the artist’s solo exhibition.
For its debut in 2011, A.R.T. had made a record with 89.66% of the exhibiting artists having sale, a record comparable to the world’s top art fair, the Art Basel. In its second edition, the number reached 91.18%, with several artists, such as French highly-regarded artist Philippe Pasqua, having a complete sellout.
The A.R.T. 2016 continues to be directed by Lee Sun-Don, who rigorously selects the exhibiting artworks and designs the entire art show. It will be comprised of eleven sections: A.R.T. Curatorial, International Contemporary Art, New York Contemporary Art Fund, International Artist Salon, China Contemporary Art, Taiwan Contemporary Art, Contemporary Ink Painting, Art with Entrepreneurs, International Artist Grand Prize Competition, Art and Design, and Art Your Compassion.
The section of “Art Your Compassion” is A.R.T.’s another pioneer. Linking art with philanthropy, it invites celebrities and social elites at home and abroad to create artwork for charity sale, which also helps promote the public interests’ in collecting artwork.
The annual theme for A.R.T. 2016 is “The Glory of Life” There will be more than 3,000 pieces of work by 322 artists from 50 countries or so exhibited. They include Carlo Alberto Palumbo, Louise Giblin, Alexandre Monntoya, Igor Grechanyk, Liu Baojun, Vladimir Volegov, Ma Sing Ling, Kurma Venkata Siva Prasad, Alexander Oligerov, etc.
