This screening focuses on the activities of Taiwanese pioneers who created works of art using the latest video technology in the 1980s and 1990s. MAM Screen 019: The Dawn of Taiwanese Video Art in the 1980s-1990s (Screening) and MAM Research 010: The Dawn of Taiwanese Video Art in the 1980s-1990s (Exhibition) bring together the essence of Rewind: Video Art in Taiwan 1983-1999, a large scale exhibition that featured Taiwanese video art pioneers and was held at the Kunandu Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei in 2015.
Taiwanese video art first emerged in 1983-1984. In 1983, Kuo I-Fen created the first video installation in the Taiwanese art scene for the University of Tsukuba (Ibaraki, Japan) master’s degree entrance examination during her studies in Japan. Later that year, Kao Chung-Li showed a work using a surveillance camera and a monitor in his photography exhibition in Taipei. It is said that Chen Chieh-Jen created a video work referring to the surveillance society during the same period.
Subsequently, leading artists of the current Taiwanese art scene, such as Wang Jun-Jieh and Yuan Goang-Ming, began creating video works. Toward the end of the 20th century, expression had diversified and the number of artists working with video increased.
In MAM Screen 019, five works are screened in chronological order. To highlight the diversity of Taiwanese video art, the program includes works with social messages and references to mass media and those incorporating experimental video techniques and documenting performances.
