Project: The Folly

Unfolding from Taipei City where C-LAB is located, the exhibition Project: The Folly follows the previous reflection on the changes of the site to investigate its connotations and implications by reference to its inherent ambiguity. Inspired by the experimental and conceptual qualities of “folly,” Project: The Folly proposes a new viewing angle to grasp our present living conditions and urban events. Reviewing the past of the historic site, we can easily notice that the meaning and function of its space continue to vary in different periods. It is such fluctuation that renders the site one of a kind when people ask the question as to “what kind of ‘place’ C-LAB is” and meanwhile try to offer an answer.

About

Cultural experimentation anticipates a disobedient attitude that facilitates cultural reversion and creative collision. When experiments become an attitude, a wide spectrum of cultural initiatives and fresh paths will unfold and extend like water, shock, sonic, light, or electric waves.

C-LAB hopes to showcase the cultures of contemporary creators, makers, sharers and participants to nurture a fresh ecology of cultural creation, which emerges as a cloud sharing platform for all contemporary readers, utilizing humanistic digital technologies while incorporating contemporary art perspectives as well as cultural observation to introduce innovation into society through culture.

CLABO, an online journal published by C-LAB, aims to create confluences of cultural creators and serve as a community platform for all partners of cultural experiment projects. With unprecedented cultural experiments, we have started bravely venturing into the future!
