The project “Transcape Series”1 (TS1): Home F(r)ictions” encompasses an exhibition, workshops (virtual and co-present) and performances. While the first part of Home Friction (June to July 2013) took place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, the second part will be presented in Linz, Austria (October 2014).

Theme

 What does “home” mean in a world of constant flux? “Home” can mean intimate relationships with people, places, objects and/ or symbols. The metaphor of “home” might evoke a wide range of associations in reference to diverging political, societal as well as individual contexts.

Featuring the works of young artists based in Taiwan and Austria, the exhibition explores micro-narratives of home-ness reflecting a transformation of emotion culture in contemporary societies.

• The exhibition is divided into the following thematic sections:

• Cultures of belonging
• Nomadic lifestyles
• Friction zones
