FROM SITE

SLYArt Introduction

Our Concept:
SLY Art is a special art space whose goal is to explore contemporary art and its relations with different communities. As a member of this space, we care about the humanistic values of art, with a sincere heart, an interdisciplinary vision and an academic, artistic approach.

History:
SLY Art Space was established in 1995 by some of the members from another group "Apartment No. 2". They gathered totally 20 artists and started showing their works using the space formerly belonged to "Apartment No. 2" which was by then dismissed. Since then, the location and membership of this collective co-operative gallery run by artists themselves have been through several shifting.

One of the special features of SLY Art Space is its organization. Every two years, the membership will have a reshuffle. Some old members will resign and give vacancy to allow new faces in. Members have to share the payment of rent, utilities and one office assistant, as well as develop new ideas of how to run the space better.

Projects in the nearer future:
Now we have moved to Chung-Shan North Road, Sec. 2., not far from several artistic spots such as Taipei Fine Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, and SPOT-Taipei Film House. In this new site, we have held many interesting exhibitions, art talks and slide shows.

In the future, we plan to expand our reach by going out and hold group exhibitions in other cities. Some of the projects are under intensive discussion among members.


Shin Leh Yuan Art Space
--- A Home for Contemporary Art & Artists ---

Shin Leh Yuan (which means New Paradise) Art Space is an artist's collective-operative gallery. Established in 1995, it's now on the seventh year. Members' change takes place every two years. In this way, we try to input new experience and experiment to both the creation of artwork and the operation of the art space.

The core idea of running this space is to make it as a container, to infuse or to diffuse, to let things happen flowingly and flexibly. We hold exhibitions every month, along with artist slide shows and various art talks. We also have a web site (Chinese edition) at http://www.etat.com/slyart/ and will construct English edition in the future.



Welcome you to visit our place. The space is situated in the midway of ICA Taipei and TFAM (Taipei Fine Art Museum). It only takes about 10 minutes walk to get here from ICA.
