Level 3 Alert: Art Variants
August 27–September 5, 2021
Taipei Performing Arts Center is pleased to present the fifth edition of Asia Discovers Asia Meeting for Contemporary Performance (ADAM), which continues responding to the regional and global cultural politics under the impact of the pandemic.
Throughout this year, ADAM’s Online Programs invites artists to curate a series of performative events and the new-normal knowledge production divided in April, August and December as a trilogy. Meanwhile, ADAM’s Artist Lab has also been reframed and dedicated to Taiwan-based artists to investigate the historical and contemporary landscapes of the Shihlin district of Taipei City where the Taipei Performing Arts Center is located.
The Online Programs in August Level 3 Alert: Art Variants, curated by new-media artist and choreographer Su Wen-chi, takes the recent crisis of the pandemic in Taiwan as the background to merge layers of practices and voices by artistic scenes from Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, Greece and the United States. Bringing together Ashley Ferro-Murray, Maria Hassabi, Baï Lee, Daito Manabe, Zoe Scofield, Senyawa and Dick Wong, Level 3 Alert: Art Variants ponders and questions what making art means now and how artists could confront the precarious times and the unrest. All the online programs are free with prior registration required.
Taipei Performing Arts Center, running Taipei Arts Festival, Taipei Fringe Festival, Taipei Children’s Arts Festival, Camping Asia, and ADAM, is a new performing arts complex scheduled to open in summer 2022. ADAM is an interdisciplinary initiative designed for contemporary artists from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to exchange, research and collaborate.
