Art Sync is a creative collaboration between artists from two different countries as well as a comprehensive study of the efforts and means used during this unique collaborate process. It is an experience of comparison and compromise between the individual and the collective work ethic. Art Sync was initiated by selecting four artists from both Taiwan and New York. A classic formalism is more strongly presented in the selected Taiwanese artists’ work while the New York artists exude a more expressionistic paradigm. The alternate working methods in addition to the different cultural backgrounds of the artists give this collaborative synchronization a richer and more diverse palette to work from.
Art Sync will house works created under a diversity of circumstances: solo and collaborative works, collaborative efforts created during the Art Sync process as well as an in-depth chronology of direct communication among all artists involved. The participating artist teams are Fanny Allié & Hoho Lin, Eric Bessel & Kai-Yuan Tszen, Brad Darcy & Yu-San Huang and MaryKate Maher & Yin-Ling Chin.
The Exhibition is received the grants from Taiwan Cultural Affairs as the first place of the international exhibition.

April 24 - June18, 2010 Opening Reception – April 24, 6-8 pm
In “Food: A History”, historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto wrote “I eat therefore I am. People recognize the whole world through the dinner table, the food on the plate reveals the secret of human history. Food stories not only relate to culinary subjects but also connect to the culture.” Artists develop self consciousness, and expand their observation of the environment during art production. In the exhibition “Open Kitchen”, artists have chosen food and diet as the art subjects to create a common language between different cultures, as well as the personal link between individuals. “Open Kitchen” welcomes the viewer to share artists’ stories, and the opportunity through food to experience a multicultural view of the world. Sixteen artists from Asian, American, and Latin American backgrounds, present their experience of food and world cuisine.
Exhibition will include the drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, video, mix-media, and photography from Meredith Allen, SungHo Choi, Yi-Chang Chen, Brad Darcy, Colette Fu, Hyoungsun Ha, Rex Hausmann, Tamara Kostianovsky, Ho-Jang Liu, I-Hua Lee, Elaine Tin Nyo, Trong G.Nguyen, Morgan O'Hara, Michael Pribich, Bruce Richards and special performance from Kai-Yuan Tszen at 6:30pm.
