"Note Colours" Art Residency / Hsinchu, Taiwan

Colors are, as physics describe, the perception deriving from the stimulation of cone cells in the human eye, caused by the light wavelengths in the visible spectrum reflected from different objects.
Colors, on the other hand, are able to transmit emotions and meanings to human beings, and they have been used in visual arts to module the impressions, meaning and symbolism that a visual art work - from paintings to cinema - can transmit to the viewer.

This exhibition addresses the color perception of the same object, in this case the city of Hsinchu, by the eyes of 5 different artists, three local Hsinchu residents and two Polish urban artists.
The urban landscape is full of invisible structures, messages and stories transmitted through its colors, shapes and sounds. For the familiar eye of the local artist, Hsinchu colors offer a range of subtle tonalities, secret meanings hidden behind the first ray of
light striking the city. For the fresh eye of the visiting artist, the city blooms with vivid, raw emotions and feelings.
This exhibition gathers five artists from different backgrounds invited to see and research Hsinchu from the perspective of its colors and sounds. As if each of the artists would be a prism being passed through by a light beam, they create a series of works from their own research and experience.
