Artistic exchange brings different cultures closer, fostering comparison, integration, and clashing dynamics, before being transformed into new formats and contents. This act of exchange is interpreted as "interchange." By exchanging activities, artists put forward their own ideas, concepts, and experiences while absorbing others', thus developing into new forms after resolving processes of integration, reaction, and transformation. If biological species do exchange and transformation for survival, exchange and transformation in the realm of art can be seen as an evolutionary tool for adapting to survive.
Macao, Guangzhou, and Taiwan are three regions marked by frequent inter-exchanges, with each having its own artistic trends and development. In the last decade, the growth of independent art spaces in the three regions has become a topical issue begging exploration, as their appearance is closely associated with official cultural policies and public demand.
This trans-regional exchange programme, initiated by Ox Warehouse and Huangbian Station, invited representative arts groups from Taiwan to study how independent art spaces and groups keep adapting to social changes for a better survival chance. Representatives of artists have also been invited to discuss the matter under the theme "Evolution of independent art spaces," while showing the audience how they keep improving and adapting to survive.
