Live Forever Foundation
Taichung City Learn more about what's on at Live Forever Foundation and the artists shaping its programme.Live Forever Foundation was founded in 2012, with the purpose of advocating sustainable ecology, arts and culture, as well as intergenerational interaction. Regularly presenting diverse events, talks and exhibitions while offering sponsorship for charity, the Foundation aims to spread the ideals of protecting the living Earth, respecting ecological environment and cultivating arts and aesthetics through sharing events and exhibitions.
Through passing down these ideals and bringing them into practice, the Foundation expands the aesthetic and ecological exploration in contemporary society, deepens the philosophical thinking about contemporary issues, and strengthens dialogues between different generations. With the Foundation as a central platform to integrate the industry, the academia and the art circle for joint forces, it is hoped that a creative and aesthetic cultural landscape can be created.
Live Forever Foundation Artists
Live Forever Foundation works with an array of Taiwan-based contemporary artists, who practice across a wide range of disciplines. Broadly, they are united by their common interest in observing patterns and interactions between people and nature.
Among the practitioners Live Forever Foundation has exhibited and commissioned are Taipei- and Paris-based multi-media artist, Charwei Tsai, who explores the relationship between humans and nature through geographical, social, and spiritual motifs; multidisciplinary artist, Hung Tien-Yu, who explores the impact of human activity on the natural landscape; and Yi-Chun Lo, whose site-specific work draws from community projects and the use of waste materials.
The Foundation has also worked with emerging and established international artists like New York- and Berlin-based Japanese artist Yuken Teruya, known for his mixed-media installations crafted from everyday objects; and France and Taiwan based artist Joan Pomero, selecting ephemeral and fragile quality of materials, her work becomes an intermediate body under the influence in which they are shown to the public and are placed in space through time.
Live Forever Foundation Exhibitions
Reflecting its ecological focus, Live Forever Foundation has held numerous group and solo exhibitions exploring the relationship between people and nature, often focused on Taiwanese culture and geography. Live Forever also commissions work for its spaces, such as Charwei Tsai’s solo exhibition The Womb & the Diamond (2021).
