It has been almost 3 years we work on our specific theme project 'The Flame of The Pacific', an intervention project on geopolitical issues in Pacific Rim. The project will run for another 7 years to complete one decade. So far we have achieved various opportunities internationally such as exhibitions, commission works and residency programs. We aim to create projects based on history and attempts to respond the complexity of the issues with out-of-the-box thinking. Our activities have so far encouraged cross-disciplinary interaction among institutions, activists to journalists. The local and international media covered and helped us in seeing how far our achievement is, but more importantly is how art with its universal value can be a self-fulfillment as well inspire society.
