台灣當代一年展(以下簡稱一年展)前身為視盟台灣藝術家博覽會,首屆於2002年在華山烏梅酒廠舉辦,至今2021年將邁入第二十屆。途中在華山烏梅酒廠舉辦,並擴大至華山四連棟與藝術大街,也曾於松山文創園區、新光三越、台中文創園區、台南、高雄駁二藝術特區與花博爭艷館⋯⋯舉行,除了經歷展覽場地的移動外,也隨著藝術環境的變異,加入座談、新媒體主題區、藝術市集、實驗電影影展、企業合作、藝術團體、國內外機構展區與培力機制等等。2019covid-19於全球爆發後,隨即中斷了2020一年展國外藝術機構的參展計畫,2021年3月台灣疫情升溫至三級警報,一年展隨即在20年的此刻,因疫情狀況下,宣佈了台灣當代一年展將轉型為線上展,線上展如何以此為契機調整它的「體質」?
過去在美術館的審查機制,且替代空間不足的情況下,視盟台灣藝術家博覽會提供一個年輕藝術家作品曝光的機會,無審查機制的創造一個年輕藝術家的有機互動平台。而日趨完善的補助、獎項、徵件與展演⋯⋯機制下,當代儼然已成為一個反覆動作的科層化時代。當今,我們該如何審視一年展轉型為線上展之後的可能?爬梳1983至2001年的時間軸,聚焦在2002年至2021年的變化下製作其年表,以2020一年展的一年培力機制作為一個索引,回推在一個單位作為「培力機制」的可能,除了國藝會的策展培力,2019年典藏artouch也深入製作一系列的策展專題,近年許多的機構組織也發起了關於策展、評論書寫與行政的培力計畫。我們將策展人的培力機制放在整體藝文環境生態中觀察,從策展培力到策展專案的設立,不管是藝術家、策展人、藝評與藝術行政,這遍佈的培力計畫中,是否能回應現實需求,並帶我們到更遠的地方,抑或只是一個終點?

TAIWAN ANNUAL, formerly known as AVAT Artist Fair Taiwan, now is going to enter its 20th year in 2021.
First held in 2002 in Umay Theater at Huashan 1914 Creative Park , TAIWAN ANNUAL was soon expanded to Silian Building and Art Boulevard, also taking place in Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, SHIN KONG MITSUKOSHI, Taichung Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, Tainan, Kaohsiung The Pier-2 Art Center as well as TAIPEI EXPO PARK Dome before.
Besides exhibition touring, it has also involved talks, new media themed areas, art markets, experimental film festivals, corporate collaborations, art groups, domestic and international institutions, and the empowerment mechanism during its evolution journey.
After the global outbreak of covid-19 in 2019, the participation of foreign art institutions in the 2020 TAIWAN ANNUAL was immediately suspended.In March 2021, the epidemic alert was raised to level 3 in Taiwan , and TAIWAN ANNUAL announced that it would be transformed into an online exhibition on the point of its 20th year. With this transformation, what will be the sparkle of essence migration?
What is the reality corresponding to the foster mechanism?

In the past, with the censorship in art museums and the lack of alternative exhibition space, the (Taiwan) AVAT Artist Fair provided an opportunity for young artists to have their works exposed without being censored, creating an interactive platform for young artists flexibly and effectively. The system of grants, awards, open calls, exhibitions and so on has steadily emerged to a complete balance, this circulation gave birth to contemporary bureaucratic era. Now, how should we look at the possibilities of TAIWAN ANNUAL after its transformation into an online exhibition?
Pacing through the time frame between 1983-2001, the chronology is the concentrates of migration between 2002-2021. Specifically, the empowerment mechanism of 2020 TAWAN ANNUAL , is the index of Inferring possibility from individual to develop the empowerment mechanism. In addition to the curator’s incubator program from National Culture and Arts Foundation, Art Touch also started an in-depth series of curatorial projects in 2019, and many associations and institutions have launched empowerment projects of curating, comment writings and managements as well.
We monitor the curator’s empowerment concept among integrated art community, and wonder if these empowerment programs from curatorial cultivations to project establishment, regardless of artists, curators, art critics or artistic administrators, could respond to practical necessity and guide us further, or instead, it merely comes to the end.
