Features: Has Taiwan been made ugly by us? Chaotic urban landscapes, unique iron grates, domineering and precarious signs, natural scenery rapidly replaced by human construction, aesthetics almost unable to reflect in daily life, and the art in museums seems to be two disconnected worlds from daily life. This book attempts to find different landscapes in the artificially constructed world, starting from visual art, visiting Taiwan's museums and cultural spaces, hoping that readers, while following the book's records, will encounter art, get to know the creators, and discover that there is a sense of different scents. It also hopes that readers, through reading, will inspire action and bring new interest to our lives. The book's editorial team personally experienced over forty cultural spaces, including the Palace Museum, Taipei City Museum of Fine Arts, Historical Museum, Zhu Ming Art Museum in Jinshan, Taipei International Art Village, Taipei Contemporary Art Center, Su Ho Children's Art Museum, Kaohsiung City Museum of Fine Arts, Xinbin Pier, National Museum of Fine Arts, Sanyi Wood Carving Museum, Yingge Ceramic Museum, as well as various unique cultural spaces, railway warehouses, studios, etc. The general introduction of the book puts forward insightful views, reviewing the origins and development of museums and cultural spaces, as well as the development of modern virtual art spaces.
