In the sixth Asian Art Biennial, titled “Negotiating the Future” and organized at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung, Japanese artist group Chim Pom’s site-specific installation Street (2017) is an asphalt road that runs from the museum’s foyer through the main entrance to the street outside. This elevated roadway also served as a stage for sound artist Cheng Yi-Ping, also known as Betty Apple, during a block party. Street invokes the Sunflower Movement of 2014, when student and civic groups occupied the thoroughfares that surrounded the Legislative Yuan of Taiwan, and has become a channel that connects the art institution to the outside world.
