Established in early 2007, Taiwan Contemporary Art Link (TCAL) is an association constituted by four galleries – Galerie Grand Siècle, Aki Gallery and Dynasty Art Gallery, (the three original members in 2007), and Der-Horng Art Gallery (the newly admitted member in 2008), all featuring young and promising Taiwanese artists. Up to now there are almost forty artists listed in the TCAL. With the belief that unity makes stronger power, the establishment of TCAL hopes to create a platform for the international marketing of Taiwanese contemporary art. The corporation among the galleries also allows them to have greater visibility while presenting emerging Taiwanese artists in international art fairs. Moreover, TCAL integrates commercial spaces with academic resource, and it also brings Taiwanese galleries in association with major galleries in Asia, Europe, and the United States. Through the frequent conversation with international organizations, TCAL thus introduces more and more talented Taiwanese artists to the world stage. |
