This series of exhibitions, Post-80s Generation's Modernism, attempts to establish China's own aesthetic system of modern art through the long-term observation of art practices that happen in the moment, and then research and sort out different artists. Continuing to go more in-depth after the main frame of the first exhibition last year, Post-80s Generation's Modernism II: Eastern Calligraphy selected seven post-80s artists with “Eastern calligraphy” tendencies. Manifesting their own creative aspects, artists Chen Jiaye, Hu Saienis, Li Chao, Sun Ce, and Yi Guodong specialize in painting, while artists Lin Zhi and Zhou Yiran specialize in sculpture.

The curatorial theme of the “Post-Victory: Fine Arts Awards” consists of excluding subjective and objective positions from the process of the competition. It focuses on following up on the development or transformation of creative potential in the experimentation and concepts of Taiwanese artists after they have participated in a representative art competition. The artists participating in “Post-Victory: Fine Arts Award” will put on display two works: a pre-award and a post-award work. At their exhibition sites, there will also be reproductions of the original prize-winning artworks. How do you have artists stand out even after winning an award, and enable them to enter into market oriented art systems, such as galleries, auction companies, etc.,? Also, how can they cooperate with one another to further develop an artist’s creative career?
