Abstract
2 Australian artists included - Brook Andrew and Raquel Ormella. The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA) purchased the new work commissioned - Wealth for Toil #3 and it is now in their permanent collection. This biennial includes 28 sets of contributing artists from 17 different Asian regions/countries, with artworks dealing with Asias current institutional, human rights, and other problems amidst its moving boarders. With increasingly frequent and intense socioeconomic developments and cross-border relations within Asian countries and transnationally, these shifting exchanges are drastically challenging preceding viewpoints and order, and a mobile state with aligning thoughts and actions has become an assertive approach for dealing with the current reality. Problems and the creative environment in Asia faced by artists are cross-cultural and exist in a cultural domain composed of a plethora of divergences. Australian artist Raquel ORMELLA is showcasing a new work, Wealth for Toil #4 in this exhibition, continuing to advocate individual social engagement that can evoke changes in the social consciousness. She continues to weave poetic possibilities into faith shaking flags, with each piece created calling out for different possible reforms for identity and nationhood, and through her treatment of each flag, new possibilities of meaning are opened for extended exploration.
