Featured Events in Taipei in May 2025 (July Updated)

The "Art Aquarium" interprets goldfish viewing, which has been loved since ancient times, in the form of a modern art space through light, sound, fragrance, and Japanese traditional culture and artwork. In addition to permanent exhibitions that can be viewed throughout the year, special exhibitions that change with the seasons are also held. In this fantastic performance space, you can admire adorable and unique goldfish.

Printmaking and drawing are fundamental forms of human artistic creation. Though their appearances and techniques differ greatly, both forms embody artists’ profound explorations of technique, medium, and expression. “Tiangong Kaiwu”, a legacy of Ming dynasty Chinese scientist Song Yingxing, stands as a comprehensive work on ancient Chinese craftsmanship and scientific spirit. Its documentation of woodblock printing, ink usage, and material selection laid the groundwork for the development of printmaking. This exhibition begins with the spirit of “Tiangong Kaiwu”, presenting outstanding works by Eastern and Western artists to examine the technical heritage and contemporary potential of these art forms.

Bringing together nearly 100 galleries from more than ten countries and regions around the world, mainly in Asia, the fair showcases a rich variety of outstanding works from artists at home and abroad, highlighting Taipei’s indispensable position in the global art market. It is also a regional art fair that supports the development of local art.
