Matsu Biennial 2023 - The Island Scene

Cultural Exhibitions

The Island Scene is a curatorial project of Matsu Biennial 2023, comprised of 8 works, which transforms military history and folk culture of Matsu islands into landscape art. Co-organized by the Lienchiang County Government and GACC, with "social design" as core concept, the Biennial launches a 10-year, 3-phase preparatory mechanism for public communication, local participation, and self-evidence of cultural identity. The Island Scene embodies the goals of the Biennial, placing art at prominent public spaces on the islands, representing historical landscapes, war memories, and traditions embedded in ordinary life to create a "museum island".
