Go treasure hunting

A project curiously titled Very Fun Park encourages window-shoppers and art lovers to wander Taipei's East District in search of works by some of Taiwan's up-and-coming artists

By Chang Ju-ping  /  STAFF PORTER

With so many works of art dotting the landscape and storefronts for Very Fun Park, Chang hopes people will be inspired to slip on their walking shoes, slather on some high-SPF sun screen and head out to find some of Taiwan's most innovative art. As Chang said, it's a treasure hunt, so you never know what you'll find.

Very Fun Park will be inaugurated today with a ceremony taking place from 5pm to 7pm outside the Fubon Life Insurance Building at 108 Tunhwa S. Rd., Sec. 1, Taipei (台北市敦化南路1108). The ceremony will include a dance performance by the French group Purple Earth and local DJ Fish (黃凱芹). Visitors to any of the exhibits can pick up a map of participating venues and a stamp book. Viewers who get a stamp at each of the venues can win prizes, including magazines, watches and free seminars at Fubon Art Foundation. For more information, call 8771-4890.
