2017.04.08 – 2017.05.0717’ DREAMIN’ MoNTUE : THE SERENE GALLERY
"If nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living." - Jules Henri Poincaré The Serene Gallery is the third phase of its precursor Nordic, a two-phase theatrical presentation. It‘s about moving the theatrical stage to a museum to re-imagine and create a sensory experience unique to each viewer. Infused with the movements and scene changes from the theater, and suffused in the meandering in a museum and meditative ebb and flow of senses, viewers have the option of visiting the gallery space alone, and get in touch with the blurry grey area between the internal and external world in serenity and solitariness. ABOUT DREAMIN' MoNTUE In view of encouraging artists to dream outside the box, the MoNTUE launched the Dreamin’ MoNTUE initiative in 2015, consolidating resources and professional opportunities to present a stage for artists to create art to their hearts' content. The 2017 Dreamin' MoNTUE exhibition features Ming-Hwa YEH's The Serene Gallery and Fangas Nayaw's masingkiay. These two performing artists will each, in their one- month long exhibition period, move with the time to create a new sensory experience that marries "exhibition" and "performance", two seemingly different forms of art belonging to divergent spatial realms. The open engagement approach merges the two functions into one space. Artists, artworks, visitors are no longer bound by time in the museum. Together, they give birth to an organic exhibition.
