Celebrating the 103rd birth anniversary of Chen Chi-kwan (1921-2007), Tainan Art Museum presents its feature exhibition Chen Chi-kwan: A Duet—Art and Architecture to memorize the great architect’s life and artistic journey through its four major topics: “Life,” “Sight,” “Cosmos,” “Architecture and Family.”

This curatorial project starts with the Fort Zeelandia built by the VOC in 1624. Through the problematic revolving around the colonization and trade by this state-run commercial company – one that was able to carry out diplomatic actions and launch violent wars – this exhibition concentrates on the exploration of several keywords, including “trade,” “war,” “marine navigation,” “colonization,” “post-colonial,” “map,” and “plants and species migration.”
