¡@¡@In October 1989, we
were first open as Magnet Art Gallery. The very first
exhibition held then featured the works of senior artist
Chen De-wang. Also we established a computer image search
center at the same time so that we could systematically
introduced various local artists and how the art world
in Taiwan has developed itself into the way it is today.
We are the first gallery to introduce computer images.
¡@¡@In November 1992, we moved to our new office in Apollo
Building. To build up a sustainable trademark, we changed
our name into Metaphysical Art Gallery. For the past sixteen
years, we have maintained our practice of professionalism
which in return has gained recognition from the art world.
We have long cared about the art development in Taiwan,
and accordingly we set promotion of local art activities
as our primary goal. We promote and manage artists in
a careful manner, as if we are writing this country's
art history. A short list of artists who have worked with
us are Kuo Po-chuan, Yu Chen-yao, Shen Yao-chu, Wang Pan-youn,
Max Liu , Chen Ci-kwan, Zheng Shan-xi, Wu Hao, Winland
Kuo, Jang Tarng Kuh, and etc. And it delights us that
we have three out of eight winners of "National Award
for Arts" so far, which is regarded the highest honor
to an artist in Taiwan. They are Zheng Shan-xi (1997,
the first year), Wang Pan-youn (2001, the fifth year)
and Chen Ci-kwan (2004, the eighth year). We and our artists
will keep our good work in the future. Moreover, we particularly
enjoy holding a theme-based and centennial exhibition
that is not on a regular basis. We consider this as a
special occasion to share our achievement and to show
our gratefulness.
¡@¡@As our management in Taiwan runs smoothly, we now have
a different planning and expectation for the 21st century.
The circulation of electronic newspaper on the internet
is our first step toward a broader international community.
Therefore, connection to the international art world is
our future objective. Art is a common language that can
be used to show one's confidence and special quality.
We have faith in our professionalism and choices, and
so do art collectors and artist.
¡@¡@Every gallery has its own culture and style, and we
know very well what the duty of a gallery is in the market
and for art trend. Some say that there's no turning back
in the art world. Success and immortality only goes to
those who can endure the test of time. We think this is
true for artists and true for galleries too. |
