| Special Exhibition | When Flowers Bloom: Japanese Contemporary Art Exhibition

From Smoke to Bloom: The Regenerative Land of Art The inaugural special exhibition “When Flowers Bloom” uses the metaphor of flowers as its guide, featuring a selection of classic Japanese contemporary works. It brings together diverse creations from post-war Japanese art pioneers and contemporary rising stars, presenting the spirit and style of Japanese art from the post-war period to the present. It draws an analogy between the various states of flowers and the development of Japanese contemporary art – between destruction and rebirth, art, like wildflowers, stubbornly sprouts from the ashes, blossoming into the diverse forms of humanity. 16 Japanese artists span fields such as calligraphy, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, and popular visual arts. They utilize different media and creative techniques, breaking through traditional and national frameworks, and employing unique artistic languages to foster the germination and development of avant-garde art. Like flowers in different seasons, some are intensely passionate, some are quiet and introspective; some are beautiful and brilliant, some are deep and dreamlike. Through these creations, we can glimpse the flow of Japanese art from inner spirituality to sensory desires, from individual solitude to collective memory, resonating with the nature, emotions, and time of the south. “When Flowers Bloom” presents the spiritual landscape of Japanese art from the post-war period to the present. The infinite possibilities of life will blossom in this creative garden, inspiring viewers with new perspectives on art.

| Collection Special Exhibition | Tuā-íng Khàm Huān (Great Surging Shore)

Tuā-íng Khàm Huān takes the surging waves brought by the Kuroshio Current as its starting point, using the magnificent visual and auditory imagery of covering the coastline. It carries a strong geographical and local declarative tone, and also has a grand intention of embracing an international perspective. “Tuā-íng Khàm Huān” refers to the trend created by large waves hitting and covering the coast. Pingtung’s artistic vision gains a more fluid and vibrant spirit within the spiritual imagery of the surging current. The exhibition delves into the geographical characteristics of waves, presenting five major sub-themes: “People from the Mountains and Seas,” “Confluence of Winds and Currents,” “Pioneers of the Southern Land,” “The Aura of a New Era,” and “Future Art Forms.” This exhibition includes over 100 pieces from the Pingtung County Government Cultural Affairs Department’s long-term collection. It also features borrowed works from the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Art Bank, Hongye Art Foundation, Han Sheng Magazine, artists, and their families. Additionally, three artists, Liu Qiu-er, Wu Zheng-zhang, and An Sheng-hui, were invited to create new works for this exhibition, echoing Pingtung’s unique cultural atmosphere and further strengthening the connection between local customs and the exhibition’s spirit.

| Special Exhibition | Pingtung's Hidden Heart

Collecting is a way for humans to connect with the world. From personal collections of figurines, models, and toys to precious artworks or artifacts in museums, “collecting” is not just about the objects themselves, but also about how people imbue them with meaning. Therefore, collecting is not merely an accumulation of items; these “treasures” are also a record of time, emotion, and value. This exhibition, themed “Collecting,” invites 6 popular online IPs to participate, including H.H先生 (@hhonghh), Shaogao囂搞 (@shaogao), Mr. Shark (@mrsharkid), Square Studio (@squarestudiotw), Mosabear & Papa the Leopard Cat (@mosabear), and RURU (@ruru.official.tw). Through collections from different fields, the exhibition aims to explore the cultural implications behind collecting behavior using contemporary digital art and an original immersive exhibition experience. It showcases how different eras and groups construct self-identity through collecting and creates a dialogue with memory, value, and time.

| Pingtung Tobacco Culture Hall | Tobacco. Leaf. Factory – The Golden Memory of Re-curing

The technical details within agro-industrial production can be said to be the fundamental driving force for cultural accumulation and the advancement of civilization. The Pingtung Tobacco Factory, in this context, is not just Pingtung’s unique industrial and cultural asset, but also an important page in human civilization. On Pingtung’s uniquely fertile soil, tobacco plants transform from lush green to golden yellow. From sowing and harvesting to processing, the production process embodies regional customs, the wisdom of elders, and the diligent efforts of countless laborers. Focusing on tobacco leaves, they are meticulously processed by various machines: moistening, tipping, de-stemming, re-curing, packaging, and all other complex procedures. The exhibition also witnesses the essence of this unique industry and culture in Taiwan. Visiting the tobacco factory, the massive factory buildings constructed sequentially since 1936 are the important place where all this was nurtured. Artisans with different specializations move between machines and tobacco leaves, their exquisite labor skills must be written into the memory of civilization. Today, the Pingtung Tobacco Factory is open to the public with the permanent exhibition “Tobacco. Leaf. Factory – The Golden Memory of Re-curing.” We invite everyone to explore the preserved machinery on-site, understand the processing flow of tobacco production, and see the professional dedication hidden behind tobacco cultivation. Whether it’s the local flavor or the participation of artisans, both have shaped the cultural value of tobacco and the tobacco factory. Immerse yourself in this unique time and space, and personally experience this industry and labor memory from green to golden.

| Pingtung Hakka Museum | Liudui Imprint

“Liudui,” a term that has never officially appeared on maps, is a description of a specific geographical area and an embodiment of a unique cultural spirit. It is both concrete and abstract; both classical and contemporary; both brave and united, yet gentle and refined. “Liudui” is not only a collective term for the Hakka ethnic group in the Kaohsiung-Pingtung area but also represents the moving life stories on this land over hundreds of years. During the pioneering period, Hakka immigrants came to the fertile Pingtung Plain, where water was abundant. They dug ponds and canals along the rivers, diligently reclaimed land, established villages, and composed a new chapter with the land. The sweat of their ancestors cultivated abundant crops and nourished every generation, forming prosperous and united communities. On this land, the Hakka people have passed down traditional ritual life rich in meanings of reverence for heaven, gratitude to earth, thankfulness, and cherishing blessings. The spirit of loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and diligence in farming and studying has also been continued for generations. “Liudui Imprint” recreates the development of the ethnic group through the life journeys of the Liudui people, showcasing the most unique material and spiritual elements of the culture through art. We invite you to come to Liudui and connect with its heart.

| Pingtung Indigenous Peoples Museum | People of the Slopes (Kacalisian)

Since ancient times, the Paiwan and Rukai people in southern Taiwan have called themselves “kacalisian,” meaning that from the time of their creation myths, their origins, dwellings, farming, and hunting grounds have genuinely existed for generations on the “land of the slopes.” They regard Dawu Mountain, Damumu Mountain, Wutou Mountain, and other mountains in southern Taiwan as sacred mountains, perpetually passing down the humanistic art and lifeline of their people on the sloping land. The exquisite craftsmanship and ancient melodies displayed by the indigenous people living in the sloping mountains of Pingtung are undoubtedly closely related to the philosophy and thinking of the ancient language “kacalisian.” In the mountain forests and lands of the slopes, the “hands” and “hearts” of the people intertwine to form a unique and refined aesthetic of life. To this day, because of this special humanistic and artistic background and way of thinking, many new generation Paiwan and Rukai artists, musicians, and cultural and creative workers have emerged. The humanistic art of the people of the slopes encompasses every aspect of life, representing “the natural beauty expressed by the soul.” Whether it is the colors of clothing, carving craftsmanship, decorative art, traditional music and dance, or contemporary artistic expression, the people of the slopes have always used aesthetic thinking to tell stories. Mountains, land, and people collectively intertwine to form a unique and refined humanistic art, embodied in daily life.
