Visual Dialogues XIV
Visual Dialogues XIV
1/8/17 THE RED ROOM COLLECTION
The art on the walls shows the incredible talent and diversity of the artists in Taiwan. Red Room is proud to offer monthly shows that bring artists from different cultures and places to share ideas, art and experience. The opening on the 8th was also an opportunity to discuss the coming year and what else can be done with the Visual Arts at Red Room. A group of about 15 people, artists and audience, came up with some ideas, which we are excited to share with you!
Workshops: Led by artists sharing their technique or talents. Perhaps the work done during the workshop will be displayed in future Visual Dialogue shows.
Themed Art Shows: Holidays are always a great theme, and the suggestion was to feature the food of the holiday at the opening. The Lantern Festival, is a bit of a rush, but how about Easter? Paint eggs, eat chocolate, have an egg hunt on the grounds?
Interactive Art Exhibitions: This spring we will have a Visual Dialogue called ALMOST THERE. Artists will be asked to bring an existing incomplete work of art or create one for the show that will be completed by everyone at the opening. An artist in the group said during the discussion, “This would be so good for me, I have works that I have not finished but this will help me to let them go. It is also a great opportunity for the audience to become part of the creative process.”
Your input is essential to move forward on these plans. Do you have ideas to share? We would love to hear them please the discussion on our VISUAL DIALOGUES Facebook page.

I did my best
it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel
so I learned to touch
I’ve told the truth
I didn’t come to fool you
And even though
it all went wrong
I’ll stand before
the Lord of Song
with nothing on my tongue
but Hallelujah

“My sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor and during her treatment, she felt that art was a great healer. She discovered that painting helped her through this difficult period. This is where the idea originated to hold a charity art show to help other children who are suffering from similar situation. We wish for each child to experience the joy of a happy and healthy childhood.”

Reflections on Visual Dialogues, August 2016
In the last year we have had 10 Visual Dialogues in the Red Room International Village at TAF. Each show brought artists from different cultures and experiences to display art and share ideas. Art can be a window into another person’s culture and heart. It can also be a beautiful object on a shelf or hanging on the wall. The show openings bring together a cross section of friends, Red Roomers, art lovers and children. Art truly belongs to everyone and Visual Dialogues are an opportunity for artists of all media and experience to share their journey.
Visual Dialogues@the Red Room’s August show features Roma Mehta and David Pipkin. Their show is called “Balance,” and one can right away see why. Roma’s earthy tones and fluid brush strokes match with the tones and colours of David’s beautiful pottery. Each artist plays with the elements Earth, Fire, Wind and Water.
Roma uses words and colours to evoke these elements, and we feel at home looking and experiencing her work. With David’s approach to clay, one goes beyond seeing the earthen clay. Instead, one feels its texture with the eye, as well as the heat of the fire that was used to bake it.
“Balance” encourages the viewer to get in touch with the earth spirit within them.
This show will continue to run all through September, so if you missed it last month, come and feel the energy and open yourself up to the spirit.

On the fourth Sunday of each month from 2pm to 5pm, Red Room International Village will host an art activity for families. The enjoyment and creation of art are the focus. In these activities, everyone is an artist, and is encouraged to share and create. All ages and perspectives are welcome.
In traditional art classes, technique and knowledge of medium are the first classes. SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE RED ROOM will be different. We will explore the medium as we use it and everyone is encouraged to participate. Families are often so busy during the school/work week that they do not have a chance to play together. This is for families and individuals who want to share an afternoon in happy creativity. The fee for the afternoon, including art supplies and facilitation is $500NTD per family* and $200NTD per individual**.
Art works will be for the Red Room and/or something that you may take home on the day.
This event has been rescheduled. Dates TBA.
