Group Exhibition Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei
Fairy Tales is the third edition of the traveling exhibition Utopian Days and presents video works of 25 internationally renowned artists and collectives.
From April 25th to June 14th, 2015, the theme of fairy tales will be explored through a screening of six weeks, a panel and workshops at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, Taiwan.
Fairy Tales, organized by curatorial project Utopian Days, looks at the transmission of the tales from East to West, and vice versa, which often happened along the Silk Road, the most prominent and vital trade road that connects Europe and Asia. Today the Silk Road is as important as it has ever been and as recently as December 2014, China's President Xi Jinping pledged US$40bln towards the Silk Road Fund, to strengthen exchanges and interconnections along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road in a bid to strengthen links among the 3 billion people who live along the Silk Road today.
Fairy Tales is curated by Haily Grenet (France) and Martin Schulze (Germany).

MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART, TAIPEI
The Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei is the first art institution in Taiwan dedicated exclusively to contemporary art. The museum building was originally an elementary school, established during the Japanese colonial period. In 1945, the building became the Taipei Government City Hall. In May 2001, the old city hall got transformed into the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei.
Since its inauguration, the museum has combined its historical architecture with contemporary art, entwining yesterday’s memories with today’s culture and introducing the most innovative and avant-garde visual aesthetics, media technologies, architectural design, and fashion from Taiwan and overseas. At the same time, MOCA Taipei continuously promotes artistic education and encourages the community to regard the aesthetics of everyday life.
