Why do humans choose to migrate? What is the driving force behind it? Perhaps it is to escape natural disasters, climate change, persecution of wars, or for a better life that urges people to leave their homelands in pursuit of a more suitable living environment. People move and migrate in order to create new opportunities for personal survivals which might eventually end up in failure. Humans have gone from moving on foot to adopting modified transporting methods and technologies by learning to ride on animals for transportation and by inventing various different vehicles such as automobiles, boats, aeroplanes. In today’s Internet era, people can simply use the communication software on their phone to effectively facilitate mobility to the extent of enjoying virtual travelling without physically shifting one’s body.The international contemporary art exchange exhibition, Moving and Migration – Stories from a Place to Other, is curated jointly by Shang-Lin Wu (from Taiwan) and Kim Yoonseo (from South Korea) in an international partnership connecting the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art. Totally 19 groups and 22 artists from at home and abroad are invited to participate in this exhibition with their outstanding works of different types. This exhibition is composed of three sub-thematic sections: “Don’t forget”, “Where”, and “Wandering ”.Focusing on the processes and mutual influences of human migration among different regions, this exhibition will reveal images, sounds, and stories that we are not familiar with or have never seen or heard before from the perspectives of time, space, geography, vegetation, lifestyle, technology, and many more.
