The free-entry special exhibition “DISCO?VERY,” running from now until April 22 at Warehouse C4 of Pier-2 in Kaohsiung, gathers 20 domestic and international artists from Taiwan, France, South Korea, and Ukraine to explore the interrelationships between human civilization, the environment, and ecology through their artistic creations.

Environmental changes often lead to various natural disasters and risks, while man-made life risks stemming from technological and civilizational development—such as nuclear crises, oil spills, and urban development—also exert unimaginable environmental and ecological impacts on human society. This exhibition invites 20 artists from across Taiwan (northern, central, southern, and eastern coasts) and abroad who have long focused on environmental issues to explore through three thematic zones: “Very Ecology vs. Real Responses,” “Nature Tales,” and “Local Environments.” Through 60 spatial installations, photographs, paintings, and other artworks, the exhibition reshapes new perspectives on the relationship between human society and environmental ecology through an artistic lens and interpretation.

“DISCO?VERY” is a Chinese translation derived from breaking down the English word “discovery.” Originally meaning “exploration,” it has been rearranged into the two words “very” and “disco.” This exhibition symbolizes a stage that blends natural ecology and industrial technology, using disco to evoke boundless musical rhythms—a certain “very disco” attitude that showcases the freedom and boundlessness of contemporary art.
In addition, on March 15 and 29, and April 12, 13, and 14, lectures and activities will be held, including a photo series discussion on Typhoon Morakot, an engaging guided tour of “DISCO?VERY,” and a workshop on performance art creation. The performance art workshop requires advance registration and is now open for online sign-up. For details, please visit the official Pier-2 Art Center website.
