“Encounter with Distance” is an exhibition exploring and presenting the circumstance of distanceness from both artists and audiences. Via displaying the works from those selected international student artists who significantly experience the distanceness of being outsiders, “Encounter with Distance” bring up the Brecht effect while audiences encounter with those artwork. When art is a state of encounter, the relationship bonds between artists and audiences become tangible and unavoidable. Instead of addressing the differentiation, the premise of this show would like to open up a dialogue between artist and audience, insider and outsider, or native and international through arts we all appreciate.
