Departing from the body presentations in Taiwan’s visual art and experimental theater of the 1990s, the major annual C-LAB exhibition slated for October 2020, entitled Re: Play, will launch an exploration into corporeal expressions and behaviors that have become indicative of contemporary society. With live art as a foundation, the exhibition invites artists to intervene through performativity and to re-express the sensory state as it manifests in various temporal conditions by harnessing the power of language, the practice of behaviors, the movement of body, and the situational structures of fields. These sensory states are concretely and subtly presented through the body, including bodies ignored or neglected, requisitioned by the state, dispatched in neoliberal social structures, and trained and disciplined by daily life under a backdrop of historical specificity. On this foundation, the exhibition attempts to explore the practice and agency of performance and how they appear by extension, through three distinctive approaches.
