THE MAN WHO COULDN’T LEAVE @ MoNTUE

As a contemporary art museum, the Museum of National Taipei University of Education (MoNTUE) has consistently experimented with innovative approaches to exhibitions over the years: in 2014, the MoNTUE and film director Tsai Ming-Liang co-curated Stray Dogs at the Museum and No No Sleep, which marked a groundbreaking attempt at transforming “films” into “exhibitions” in an art museum. For cinematic creations, being showcased in an art museum embodies a process of re-creation, which involves employing the thinking of spatial arrangements to re-initiate dialogues with the original narrative of a film, thus engendering novel viewing perspectives.
