About Matsu Biennial 2023 Festival d'Arte
La Biennale di Matsu è un piano aspirazionale decennale in cinque parti per fornire basi durature al design sociale. Le sue 70 opere d'arte multimediale e creazione interdisciplinare attraverso 9 progetti curatoriali affrontano le sfide dello sviluppo regionale sostenibile. I tunnel dell'era della Guerra Fredda di Matsu, gli archivi della zona di guerra, la tradizione Eastern Min, l'architettura e la lingua, dove 200 famiglie praticano la tradizione della vinificazione, ispirano il tema Rosso Rubino Dopo l'Estate. La Biennale trasforma l'arte nel lievito per far emergere voci soppresse e trasformare Matsu in una base per l'arte e il design.

Press Kit

Cultural governance and design thinking are made part of policymaking to advance art and education. The Biennial is a long-term cultural movement through site translation, cultural tours, and co-creation. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Production Technology
- Based on past studies of Matsu's military and cultural heritage, the Biennial invites locals and experts to co-create 70 works across 9 curation projects of architecture, art, food, and performance. Crossing contemporary mediums with traditional arts, it connects and revitalizes local traditions. Highlights include Underwater Lab and The Island Scene, featuring technology art, video, sculpture, traditional papercutting art, and military site installations, creating key landscapes on the island.
- Design Challenge
- The goal of the Biennial is to revive tangible/intangible heritage. Winemaking became the theme to resonate culturally and military sites have been revitalized. The challenge is to instill cultural identification locally, preserving and innovating with experts to increase local participation and communications by social design. As a cultural movement, the Biennial engages with residents, delivering posters to 3800 households and embedding its processes in art curriculums and development workshops.
- Research
- The Matsu Biennial 2023 is based on past surveys of local heritage. Its theme Ruby Red After Summer honors the tradition of winemaking in Matsu to "ferment art". In 2007, a comprehensive survey of the islands recorded 146 military installations. In 2019, 13 military sites were selected for revitalization studies. Surveys on local contexts, archives, and interviews collected local issues and cultural highlights of Matsu’s sites including crafts, and food, forming the basis for the Biennial.
- Inspiration
- UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity considers cultural diversity as legacy, promoting peace through dialog. Villages and towns nowadays host large-scale art festivals to revitalize local industries and culture, driving local participation and bolstering the regional brand. Accordingly, Matsu Biennial adopts the core concept of "social design", creating public branding for sustainable governance and using art curation to highlight the significance of Matsu's Cold-War heritage.
- Project Duration
- The 2nd Matsu Biennial "Ruby Red After Summer" opens from Sept. 23 to Nov. 12,2023 at the 4 townships and 5 islands of Matsu. In 2007, a comprehensive survey of Matsu's local heritage and cultural landscape was initiated. In 2019, planning for the 1st Matsu Biennial started, and in 2020, a stronghold redesign campaign movement was launched, leading up to the opening of 2 military sites for the 2nd Matsu Biennial.
- Operation Flow
- Addressing issues through social design, the Biennial adopts 5 principal designs of engagement—creating dialogue with the community and developing local characteristics; sustainability—design with a 10-year vision; planning—continued concern for society through art practice; spatial governance—design on the scale of architectural contexts; and culture—design to transform organizational cultures and create an environment conducive to art and design.
