MOCA shares the popular vision that societies around the world are being transformed through economic globalization, digitization, and advanced technology. It was fortunate to start with an ideal setting to engage in international artistic exchange. However, it also continuously redefines its own position and attempts to create a niche for a distinctive Taiwanese vision, which is an increasingly important strategy, for globalization is also leveling local visions and making them uniform.

Taiwan’s unique position in Asia makes it even more important for MOCA to develop more international networks. We are confident that that the enhanced dialogue that would result through increased international exchange would serve both to enliven and to reshape culture, whether Taiwanese or foreign. One useful “entry point” for that dialogue would be urban culture, since virtually all cultures are now either urbanized or urbanizing, or are dealing with the stresses from that process.

MOCA exemplifies a perfect combination of contemporary art, historical architecture, and technology, thanks to the joint efforts of the Taipei City Government, the local community, artists, and the business world. In the future, MOCA will continue to spark creativity in all spheres of life by organizing all kinds of exciting exhibitions and performances. Besides displaying contemporary art in new and usual media within a beautiful historical setting, it will bring innovation into Taipei and art into the community.
