Against the Genocide in Gaza
The war between Israel and Hamas is a catastrophe because the outbreaks of non-discriminatory military actions have led to genocide in Gaza. It is important that we take a stand against the injustice, and the inhumane violence that arises from such conflicts. The embedded logic of Pax Americana and settler colonialism is disturbing, while thousands of lives are extinguished, buildings are burned to the ground and basic services such as water and electricity are cut off. The war has to be ceased; humanity can, therefore, be saved. We, at Curatography, cannot stand by silently, because art and culture are not separate from society and politics. We call on artists, writers, students, cultural workers, cultural organizations, policy makers and especially the public to stand in solidarity with Palestine, while acknowledging the brutality of anti-Semitism. Only through open dialogue can we hope to challenge and dismantle the harmful narratives of colonialism and work towards a more just, equal and peaceful world.
終止加薩的種族屠殺
以色列和哈馬斯的戰爭是一場煉獄式的災難,無差別的軍事行動,幾乎導致了加薩的種族 滅絕。我們必須要採取立場,譴責對立衝突所造成的不公義和非人道暴力。在成千上萬的生命 被屠殺、建築物及基礎建設被摧毀、民生基本設施被阻斷的同時;其間潛藏的「美國治世」與 「定居殖民主義」的內在邏輯,令人惶恐不安。戰爭必須停止,人性才得以拯救。《策展學》 不可沈默以對,因為我們相信文化藝術無法與社會政治分離切割。我們呼籲藝術工作者、文化 工作者、文化組織、各界決策者、學生以及社會大眾,一起聲援巴勒斯坦,並認知片面的反猶 主義野蠻暴力。 我們咸信,唯有透過開放的對話,才能挑戰和瓦解殖民主義所造成的傷害,進 而朝向一個更為正義、平等與和平的世界邁進。

Introduction Essay
Hongjohn Lin
In today’s curatorial culture, the desire to mount a newly sensational exhibition is so strong that past exhibitions are often neglected and forgotten. For any exhibition, we are always looking for something novel, original, and, better yet, unprecedented.s…

We live in an age of forgetfulness or short-term memory, partly due to industrialization and partly due to the cultural industry’s deliberate manipulation of cultural production. Exhibitions are inevitably affected in such a situation…

Miya Yoshida
If you have curatorial experience, you might be familiar with the moment when something happens in the realm of the exhibition – the moment the exhibition transcends to become more than just the sum of individual art works in a specific space or site…

Tai-Sung Chen
If there is no meaning in art, then what is art for? It is self-contradictory to claim that there is the art of no meaning while deliberately refusing to acknowledge meaning, a refusal that ultimately renders itself insignificant…
