Space Reader was formed in 2016 by a group of young creative persons in Taiwan, aimed at carrying out collective creative experiments and research projects, with different types of creators being invited for each project. The concerned creative form is a combination of installation and performance, where an installation becomes not just an object to be appreciated, but an artwork that connects with the audience and performers, as well as with their actual shared experiences from impromptu interactions. The aim is to explore the possibilities of different read/response forms in the actual space and in the creator’s inner space through the lightest yet most spontaneous bodily actions.
American dancer and film director Yvonne Rainer said: “No dance work is a single idea or narrative, but rather a subtle blend of diverse elements, determining the nature of the whole experience.” This idea coincides with the concept of Space Reader’s projects. Each creator searches for the sketching of his/her body through space or objects. We are not dancers, but we dance in space. A performance installation or an installation performance? The exhibition includes works by artists Huang Xuan, Yao Min and Jiang Yu-Jie from Taiwan, and is curated by Cai Guo Jie.
