(Central News Agency reporter Wu Po-wei, Brussels, 16th) Taiwanese artist Chang Ling is holding a solo exhibition 'If Hometown' in Brussels, attended by many cultural and artistic figures. Chang Ling shared his creative philosophy, pointing out that 'hometown' is abstract and a dynamic process that is constantly being added to.
Chang Ling's solo exhibition 'If Hometown' began on the 16th at the ODRADEK Residence XL gallery in Brussels, running for one month until May 15.
The opening ceremony was held on the evening of the 16th, with many cultural and artistic figures from Brussels attending, as well as numerous Taiwanese residents living locally. Hsieh Chih-wei, Taiwan's Representative to the EU and Belgium, was also invited to attend.
This exhibition is titled 'Hometown,' and Chang Ling shared his creative concept during an interview with the Central News Agency. He stated that the four characters 'If Hometown' can be directly followed by a question mark or another sentence. For example, 'If hometown is a small island,' 'If hometown is an ocean,' or 'If hometown is many people.'
Chang Ling said that under such a narrative, hometown is a large scope, but it is abstract within. Hometown is a dynamic process that is constantly being added, moved, and distorted.
He also believes that whether from self-positioning or the loss and reorganization of memories, for this generation, the concept of 'hometown' is worth contemplating, which is also the starting point of his creation.
Chang Ling personally introduced his exhibited works and creative concepts to Hsieh Chih-wei, and the two also took the opportunity to exchange views.
The opening ceremony brought together guests from various backgrounds, including cultural and artistic figures, scholars, and translators, from different nationalities. Hsieh Chih-wei told the Central News Agency that in such a context, through the concept of culture, coupled with the artist being present, the most direct way of contact was created. Through such contact, many stories can be told, and there are many opportunities to interact with local people.
Hsieh Chih-wei emphasized that such occasions help promote Taiwan and facilitate in-depth discussions about Taiwan with others. Cultural exchange is a very important part of Taiwan's diplomacy. (Editor: Tang Sheng-yang) 1150417
