Art with oceanic reflection in Taiwan
In the ’80s and ’90s, Taiwan had one of the world’s worst urban waste problems. Its landfills overflowed and mountains of rubbish clogged street corners, earning it the unflattering moniker “Garbage Island.” Fed up with the accumulation of waste, people across the country demanded action. They burned trash in the streets and rallied at dumping sites, making it clear to the government that change was necessary. Now it’s a model of recycling success.
Today, Taiwan’s 55% recycling rate is among the highest the world, up from virtually zero three decades ago. For comparison, the U.S. recycling rate is 34.7% and the European Union’s is 46%. The average Taiwanese person produces 850 grams (1.9 pounds) of waste daily, down from 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) 15 years ago. In the U.S., the average was 4.4 pounds per person per day in 2013.Taiwan has made massive improvements, but it’s not stopping there. This year, Taiwan committed to banning all single-use plastics — including bags, disposable cups, utensils and straws — by 2030.In this edition, we are pleased to invite Taiwanese artists Tzu Fen Lin and Pei Yu Lin to share their art concept of oceanic reflection. From their art implementation together with community, museum, and festival, we can explore the essence of esthetics in the balance of human and nature.

Work style after pandemic in Vietnam
Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all.At the beginning of the October edition, we are happy to have Japanese lacquer artist Saeko Ando who has been based in Vietnam since 1995. She studied #SonMai – Vietnam’s unique Art form of lacquer painting – under the guidance of artist Trinh Tuan, lacquer master Doan Chi Trung, and lacquer artisan Lam Huu Chinh. In 2000, Saeko’s mastery of this traditional art form led to her acceptance as the first foreign member of the Hanoi Art Association.
Another special guest is Antonio Rosciano, an Art and Event Producer based in HCMC since 2009. He is also the Creator and Director of KaleidoSoup – the first international meeting and playground for VJs and Visual Art Performers held in Ho Chi Minh City and founded L.A.V Lab for Live, Audio, and Visual elements as the collective of Visual Art Performers and Electronic Musicians.There are many sparks between art and technology, tradition and innovation, life and culture. Have you thought of what’s going on in Vietnam at the moment? We hope this online talk will bring you the unique artsy insights of living in Vietnam.

Poster Art from Poland
“Posterized” was the first large scale exhibition of Polish Posters at the PMQ in Hong Kong in May 2018. It was an introduction to the most influential, award-winning contemporary poster artists from Poland like Mieczysław Wasilewski, Władysław Pluta, Małgorzata Gurowska and Lex Drewinski, to name but a few.With a historical background, poster art has developed from the purpose of political propaganda into personal creativity, how to read the symbol behind the poster artists? How to meet the western culture with eastern culture through the poster visual art and design?
We will share the oldest and most important Biennale in the world, and discuss the connections between Poland and Japan in poster design.It is a conjunction of various creative personalities: from graphic designers to illustrators and independent artists whose work focuses on a poster as a medium. As it also was relevant in the 1960′s, such unique sharpness can only be achieved with an observant eye of an excellent poster artist.
