The exhibition is a customized theme exhibition for the newly-founded Soka Art Center at Beijing 798 Art Zone, taking into account its special internal and external space and the subtle situations of Taiwan Contemporary Art, which is somewhat acquainted and also a bit unfamiliar for Beijing and China contemporary art circles. Therefore the exhibition, aiming to present the contemporary art in a relatively complete way, is featured by diversified creative ideas, extensive creative contexts, diverse source materials and even all-inclusive characters of different ages.

Ten artists are invited to take part in the Measurement of the Other — Contemporary Art from Taiwan, including Yang Mao-Lin, Lee Ming-Tse, Tao Ya-Lun, Lai Chiu-Chen, Chen Ching-Yao, Wu Chi-Tsung, Chu Chun-Teng, Fan Yang-Tsung, Chen Wan-Jen, Chen Ching-Yuan. Except Chu Chun-Teng who is now studying at Goldsmiths College for over one year, they are native artists born, brought up, studying, living and working in Taiwan, with their age between 26 years old and 57 years old, and the media for their creation including painting, sculpture, photography, video, computer graphics, digital video production, mechanical dynamics and devices. They are expecting to take this rare opportunity to demonstrate a variety of characteristics of  the contemporary art from Taiwan rater completely and in a diversified way from the aspects of generations, creative ideas and contexts, to do the accumulative basic work well for future long-term exchanges of contemporary art between Mainland China and Taiwan.
