2008 Taipei Biennial Opening Concert “Slurpee ReVOLT”

9.12  19:30- 21:30
Taiwan Beer Factory, 85 Bade Rd., Sec. 2, Taipei

Introduction
The 2008 Taipei Biennial has extended itself outside of the museum and into a site that’s a local Taiwanese emblem, the Taiwan Beer Factory. The exhibition of art works there will display artists’ concerns and reflections in regards to local society. And in response to that spirit, we are holding a special concert of some of Taiwan’s leading creative musicians on that same site. This concert will elicit a tantalizing dialogue between the audio and the visual.

Slurpee ReVOLT!
The themes of globalization presented in the 2008 Taipei Biennial reflect a situation in recent years of Taiwan’s flourishing indie band scene, in which a tensions have developed between the sheer creative force of the West and the local desire to be Taiwanese.

Taiwan’s band culture has always drawn on influences from the US, Europe and Japan, and the speed at which Taipei absorbs information hardly lags behind New York, Paris or other cultural centers. But the depth of Taiwan’s historical and cultural foundation is a completely different story. Living in the global stream of high-speed information but without the tradition the West has accrued through the 50s, 60s and 70s, Taiwan faces inundation from the world’s major cultures without the chance of building itself up to an equal level. Having no sense of separation and too much information, Taiwan increasingly lacks a sense of both history and temporality. Globalization has not just created segmentation in the world economy. What’s more difficult to perceive and also more powerful is the way that media has come to subtly guide the global cultural system. Those who’ve established a right to express themselves can export culture, but those only able to gaze on must be content to merely receive it. In the face of these developments, Taiwanese bands must present their own voices and styles.
