You are not alone — ten hidden gems curated for the one with a unique taste!

"I force myself to contradict myself—so as not to follow my own taste." For over 30 years, no one has truly known the identity of the world-renowned street artist Banksy. A mysterious nanny turned out to be one of the greatest street photographers of our time. Duchamp shocked the world by placing a signed urinal in a gallery and drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa—his so-called “anti-art” exploded all previous definitions. And the pioneers of the Fluxus movement? They insisted they weren’t against art, but against pretense. So what is art? And what isn’t? Giloo presents 8 documentaries on radical artists who broke every rule to ask that very question. And perhaps, as Duchamp once said—everything is art.
From atypical figures to trailblazers, how did the artists of the last century transform the meaning and form of viewing? Following the destruction of order by world wars, the human desire to reshape new values manifested in Dadaism's anti-mainstream stance, student movements' anti-authoritarianism, hippies' anti-war sentiments, and the civil rights movement. Diverse social trends nourished artistic thought, and an anti-traditional fervor spread globally. These artists challenged established social norms, extending existing art forms to the very boundaries of perception and vision. This film list draws inspiration from Fluxus artist and "Rainbow Artist" Ay-O.
Banksy, the graffiti artist who refuses to reveal his true face. Duchamp, who placed a urinal in an art museum. Dalí, the surrealist master with flamboyant mustaches. Beuys, the madman who waved the banner of “art as revolution.” They lived in different times and places, but all wielded rebellion as their brush, creating masterpieces that transcended their era. Giloo presents 5 artist documentaries spotlighting these rule-breaking legends — Artists who didn’t just make art, but became art.
Initiated by the Association of the Visual Arts in Taiwan (AVAT), the "City Running Archives Cultural Games" combines with the "Taiwan Contemporary Art Archive" website to transform Dadaocheng into an urban cultural database. The event integrates three major elements: "contemporary art," "historical sites," and "cultural movement," converting the concepts of artworks into athletic challenges and workshops. Audiences can participate in interactive experiences and, by utilizing NFC technology, link their phones to browse artists' works online, opening up a brand new experience for public art.
