The ticket-free special exhibition "Very Disco DISCO•VERY," running from now until April 22 at Warehouse C4 of Pier-2 in Kaohsiung, invites 20 domestic and international artists from Taiwan, France, South Korea, and Ukraine to explore the interrelationships between human civilization, the environment, and ecology in artistic creation.

Through works such as photography and graphic paintings, the exhibition explores the interactive relationship between humans and the ecological environment. (Image source / from the Pier-2 Art Center’s official Facebook page)

Environmental changes often lead to various natural disasters and other natural risks, while man-made life risks stemming from technological and civilizational development—such as nuclear crises, oil spills, and urban development—also have an unimaginable impact on the environment and ecology of human society. This exhibition invites 20 artists from across northern, central, southern, and eastern Taiwan as well as abroad who have long been concerned about environmental issues. They explore through three thematic sections: “Very Ecology vs. Real Responses,” “Tales of Nature,” and “Local Environments.” With 60 pieces including spatial installations, photography, and graphic paintings, the exhibition reshapes new thinking about human society and environmental ecology through the lens and interpretation of art.

"Very Disco" is the Chinese translation of the English word "discovery" after it has been deconstructed. Discovery originally means "exploration." After rearrangement, it forms the two words very and disco. This exhibition symbolizes a stage that blends natural ecology and industrial technology, using disco to imagine boundless musical rhythms—an attitude belonging to very disco—that highlights the freedom and boundlessness of contemporary art.
 
In addition, on March 15, 29, and April 12, 13, and 14, lectures and activities such as discussions on the Morakot photography series, guided tours of "Very Disco," and workshops on performance art creation will be held. The performance art creation workshop requires advance registration and online sign-up is now open. For details, please visit the official website of Pier-2 Art Center.
