About Matsu Biennial 2023 कला महोत्सव

मात्सू द्विवार्षिक ही सामाजिक डिझाइनसाठी चिरस्थायी पाया निर्माण करण्याची 10 वर्षांची, 5 भागांची आकांक्षी योजना आहे. 9 प्रदर्शन प्रकल्पांमध्ये 70 मिश्र-माध्यम कलाकृती आणि आंतर-शास्त्रीय निर्मिती शाश्वत प्रादेशिक विकासाच्या आव्हानांना सामोरे जाते. मात्सूचे शीतयुद्धकालीन बोगदे, युद्धक्षेत्र अभिलेखागार, पूर्व मिन परंपरा, स्थापत्यकला आणि भाषा तसेच द्राक्षारस निर्मिती परंपरेचा सराव करणारी 200 कुटुंबे "उन्हाळ्यानंतरचा माणिक लाल" या विषयाला प्रेरणा देतात. हा द्विवार्षिक कलेचे खमीरात रूपांतर करून दडपलेल्या आवाजांना उठाव देतो आणि मात्सूला कला व डिझाइनचे केंद्र बनवितो.

Unique Properties
Matsu Biennial restores the suppressed voices and self-evident culture of Matsu's unique Cold-War heritage and war zone administration period. Unlike typical art festivals, the Biennial is a 10-year project across 5 planned biennials to involve experts and provide integrated design solutions.
Cultural governance and design thinking are made part of policymaking to advance art and education. The Biennial is a long-term cultural movement through site translation, cultural tours, and co-creation.
Dimensions & Packaging
Exhibition grounds spanning the 4 townships and 5 islands of Matsu under a framework of 9 curatorial projects, comprised of 70 works spanning 4 areas of art design, landscape architecture, culinary art, and performance. Exhibition venues across a range of public spaces such as beaches, strategic intersections, plazas, military sites, private houses, cafes, and museums. 12 co-curators and 80 artist groups, including 13 local artists and 7 visiting artists from 5 countries.

Production Technology
Based on past studies of Matsu's military and cultural heritage, the Biennial invites locals and experts to co-create 70 works across 9 curation projects of architecture, art, food, and performance. Crossing contemporary mediums with traditional arts, it connects and revitalizes local traditions. Highlights include Underwater Lab and The Island Scene, featuring technology art, video, sculpture, traditional papercutting art, and military site installations, creating key landscapes on the island.
Design Challenge
The goal of the Biennial is to revive tangible/intangible heritage. Winemaking became the theme to resonate culturally and military sites have been revitalized. The challenge is to instill cultural identification locally, preserving and innovating with experts to increase local participation and communications by social design. As a cultural movement, the Biennial engages with residents, delivering posters to 3800 households and embedding its processes in art curriculums and development workshops.
Research
The Matsu Biennial 2023 is based on past surveys of local heritage. Its theme Ruby Red After Summer honors the tradition of winemaking in Matsu to "ferment art". In 2007, a comprehensive survey of the islands recorded 146 military installations. In 2019, 13 military sites were selected for revitalization studies. Surveys on local contexts, archives, and interviews collected local issues and cultural highlights of Matsu’s sites including crafts, and food, forming the basis for the Biennial.
Inspiration
UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity considers cultural diversity as legacy, promoting peace through dialog. Villages and towns nowadays host large-scale art festivals to revitalize local industries and culture, driving local participation and bolstering the regional brand. Accordingly, Matsu Biennial adopts the core concept of "social design", creating public branding for sustainable governance and using art curation to highlight the significance of Matsu's Cold-War heritage.
Project Duration
The 2nd Matsu Biennial "Ruby Red After Summer" opens from Sept. 23 to Nov. 12,2023 at the 4 townships and 5 islands of Matsu. In 2007, a comprehensive survey of Matsu's local heritage and cultural landscape was initiated. In 2019, planning for the 1st Matsu Biennial started, and in 2020, a stronghold redesign campaign movement was launched, leading up to the opening of 2 military sites for the 2nd Matsu Biennial.
Operation Flow
Addressing issues through social design, the Biennial adopts 5 principal designs of engagement—creating dialogue with the community and developing local characteristics; sustainability—design with a 10-year vision; planning—continued concern for society through art practice; spatial governance—design on the scale of architectural contexts; and culture—design to transform organizational cultures and create an environment conducive to art and design.
