Curatorial Discourse
T
he exhibition 'Unit of Interdependency' is developed from the on-going project "SelvesEducating" founded in 2016 . The project centers on the process of knowledge production and the experiment of re-defining contemporary knowledge. Seeing art as an alternative approach to produce knowledge, this exhibition has grown out from the project, Selves-Educating, to focus on the collectives or communities formed for co-production (of alternative knowledge), as well as the political subjects constructed during the process of coproduction in which common ideology and active/ resistant agencies are established via negotiation. For this exhibition, these self-organizing political subjects, which co-produce alternative knowledge, are saw as the "unit of interdependency" for us to reimagine an ideal society. This exhibition initiates from the contradiction of nuclear families and communities in contemporary society. Families are the smallest units of relationships recognized by the Taiwanese legal system[1], and generally are considered as the fundamental units that made up human society[2]. Families have changed their forms to accommodate the production requirements of societies throughout time. However, after the industrialization and urbanization of Taiwan since 1960 s, the mode of production and the structure of economic changed, and a (nuclear) family became more-and-more an individualized and isolated unit that is irrelevant to co-production. Based on these observations, the famous quote by former UK prime minister M. H. Thatcher, " There is no such thing as society", appears as rather true and honest. Looking at the families in today's Taiwan, conventional nuclear families and the concept of "one man, one woman" or "one wife, one husband" families are challenged by new social ideology. In May 2017, the Judicial Yuan of Taiwan announced that the current Civil Code is unconstitutional as it does not guarantee the freedom and equity of same-sex marriages, and requested related agencies to amend the laws for the rights of same-sex marriages within two years. This was the
first Asian case of such in the movement to diversify families. This judgement of justice does not only reaffirm the constitutional guarantee of human rights, but also reflects the needs of new families and new units of societies. Second to nuclear families, communities are also recognized by the State as co-dependent social unit. Nonetheless, contradictions and conflicts between the characteristics of communities and the current societies are highlighted since the 1990 s policy of the integrated community construction. In 1994, Council for Cultural Affairs, of Executive Yuan, proposed the plan to "use cultural construction for promoting overall development of communities". Since then, communities are sometimes included in the vision to develop cultural-economical codependent communities and poured with government resources; and other times, communities are treated as city nails forced to demolish under land development or urban renewal plans. The concept of community or settlement is not based on blood relationships or marriage contracts, but on shared living spaces and life experiences; making communities or settlements as social units not based on kinships and, consequently, alternative families for those without family support. But the policies for urban spaces and cultural development are most interested in economic values. The communities formed by people without families are often not aligned with the "progress" and "development" -oriented government policy. These communities with less economic values are therefore being institutionally marginalized and broken again, challenging people without families to find shelter, be it mentally, a sense of belonging, or physically, an economic basis. Obviously, it is no longer possible to build a sustainable community unit based on shared lives and collective labors. Obstacles of maintaining such communities are more likely to come from the system which puts advances of economic values as top priority. Besides, communities are not based on blood relationships and marriage contracts, but the networking are conventionally among people in the

same geographically neighborhood, and limited by the physical distance between members. The difficulties faced by nuclear families and communities today, and the assumption, according to Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that human societies are constructed with small fundamental group units which should be protected by the State[3], remind us to re-construct a new perspective of recognizing the "unit of interdependency" as a reference for re-defining "the fundamental group unit for constructing human societies". In this exhibition, we advocate to re-define the term "art" as activities for producing alternative knowledge and political subjects based on "empathy" and "imagination". This is to more accurately use the tool
of communication, i.e. language, so that we can at least conceptually move closer to the above ideal before further discussion on a new perspective. Only when we see the unit of interdependency which does the artistic activities defined above as a fundamental unit for constructing societies, the so-called "society" can be a network constructed based on collective labors and their relationships. Comparing to the societies formed by agricultural settlements or small family business, the collective labors change the production method (to art); and the fundamental unit of society does not promote the production of economic subject, but political subjects. If we move forward based on the explanation that "production/construction of subject" is "to have the power to manipulate the existence of self and self-transformation[4]", the unit of interdependency for re-constructing the society will then be recognized as the political subject created from the co-production of knowledge. As a result, the unit of interdependency will definitely be able to selforganize, to negotiate ethical relationships among individuals, and to have sufficient strength to defend each others' survival in the system. It will be a unit of interdependency for "one individual and another" and "collectives/communities and the system", the fundamental unit for constructing the society. Unit of Interdependency

This video is a collective documentaries about how the protest and social movement are processed. It focuses on those victims who are forced to face life changes, economic burdens, and national violence. The mental statuses of the residences and the love within the community show the obstacles and the toughness the oppressed encounter under political and economic structures. With residences recalling the history of Hua Guang Community under context of urban and rural development, the film highlights the absurd and injustice of the residential and land policies nowadays.

Time Splits in the River is a collaborative movie
project created by four artists and four families. The conception of the project originated from the artists' involvement in a social movement. While taking part in Taiwan's Sunflower Movement, the four artists realized that their families are quite hesitant about social movements in today's society despite they agree with Taiwan's modern democratic progress. Furthermore, although their parents had grown up in the 1980 s when social movements flourished, they had never participated in one. The four artists then decided to use filmmaking to trace back to this period in time with their families and to use the opportunity to communicate with each other. They have created a screenplay by adapting a novel by writer and political

Neng Sheng Xing Factory is a young organization aiming to raise awareness about our living environment through promoting social movements and demonstrating an environmentally friendly lifestyle. Neng Sheng Xing Factory was founded in 2013 by a group of young people whose average age was 26 years old. They started off by renovating an
abandoned iron factory in Tainan, transformed that place into Neng Sheng Xing Factory, which they identified as their "home". Through working and living together, they saw each other as family members and working partners.

Since then, Neng Sheng Xing Factory has evolved into a nomadic organization, operating under the name of "Yi Gong Neng Arts Promotion Association".

Every once in a while, different gatherings happened on the city edge, usually lack of specific purpose, organization or long-term plan. Comparing to typical social movement, these temporal gatherings that utilize government policy and try to shift the resources under mainstream society and build up another system of value, they have stronger agency than social movement on cohering the people and giving voice to personal opinions. What kind of the opportunity for those gatherings to start? And why do they always give up their new
