VERY FUN PARK 2019
Contemporary Art Exhibition

Breeze NanShan
Taipei (Taiwan)
Curated by the Fubon Art Foundation's curators, Very Fun Park, a wall-less art museum in the midst of the city, is a contemporary art exhibition that brings art and urban life together. For its 12th edition this year, the exhibition area has moved to the heart of the Xinyi District, famous for its 2.3 km pedestrian overpass and green spaces on the ground, where ten separate exhibitions presented the work of the eight invited artists.
"100 Colors" has come to the grass space in front of the Breeze NanShan shopping mall, surrounded by towering buildings. People can interact freely with this flowy sculpture and enter Emmanuelle’s colorful space for the ultimate maximized sensory experience.
About the "100 colors" series
"100 colors" is an installation series began in 2013, which forms space using 100 shades of colors. Emmanuelle wishes to give emotions through colors as she felt from seeing overflowing "colors" in Tokyo when she first visited in 1995. She also wishes to give opportunities for people to see, touch and feel colors with their senses to become more conscious of colors that exist around them.
In "100 colors", Colors are explored in various forms depending on the environment, to maximize the beauty of colors. 100 colors entering the body with a glance triggers a physical response to engage with the sensation of colors. The installation series will continue to travel around the world.
"When I first arrived in Tokyo,
I was fully fascinated by the colors overflowing on the street.
In that very moment, my mind decided to move to Japan.
Overwhelming number of store signs, flying electrical cables, and flashes of blue sky framed by various volumes of buildings, created three dimensional 'layers' in the city.
The flood of various colors pervaded the street built up a complex depth and intensity in the space. These indelible experiences of colors and layers in Tokyo were the inspiration and essence of my design concept of shikiri, which means dividing (creating) space with colors.
Valuing the emotion inspired from Tokyo, in the 10th anniversary year of my studio, I want to show the beauty of colors to the fullest extent.
I also wish to share the feeling of being surrounded by overflowing colors by
exhibiting 100 colors, here in the middle of Tokyo.
Please come and find your favorite color. "
