Reimagining Radical Cities│Global Production Networks and Industrial Landscapes [The script of this episode] The previous section focused on human labor and living conditions. Now, we shift our perspective to “things”—objects and materials themselves—and the stories they tell. Wu Chuan-lun’s Derived Pottery features decorative ceramic figurines collected from around the world. While similar figurines from different regions may appear distinct in shape and color, they are often transient products shaped by diverse cultural influences. Yao Jui-lan’s The Secondary Copper examines the copper smelting industry in New Taipei City’s Jinguashi, Jiufen, and Shuinandong regions. The work deconstructs the economic and political roles historically attributed to copper, instead focusing on its mineral properties and the environmental changes triggered by climate change. Ho Rui-an’s Lining illustrates the rise and decline of Hong Kong’s textile industry. You will find out that the development of Hong Kong’s textile industry closely mirrors that of Taiwan. This piece also echoes a viewpoint that this exhibition aims to convey: Within the currents of global economic capital, countries in East Asia have, one after another, experienced labor-intensive production, technological advancements, and the outsourcing of industries and capital. This reflects the changes in the global industrial supply chains and the ongoing conflicts among different regional economic entities. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reimagining Radical Cities Time│2025/04/25-2025/09/07 Venue│NTCAM: 6A, 6B, 8F Gallery Curator│HSIEH Feng-rong, Amy CHENG Artist│Engineering of Volcano Detonating, Print & Carve Dept., JUN Sojung, Eisa JOCSON & Venuri PERERA, Joyce HO, HO Rui An, Your Bros.
