CO4 is a stink bomb

The ambitious exhibition fails to initiate ideas, except maybe the one to leave the venue

By Susan Kendzulak  /  CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

One thing CO4 unintentionally reinforces is the need for a very dynamic curatorial program in Taiwan. To curate an exhibition is not so simple. It entails choosing and juxtaposing strong works to create new ideas and thought-provoking dialogues. The positioning of art works must also be thoroughly considered as it creates a type of conversation, sparking new ideas, something that didn't happen in this case.
