Taipei Contemporary Art Center
Flowers and Forts
Dear colleagues and friends,
I just opened my solo exhibition Flowers and Forts at Taipei Contemporary Art Center as part of their exhibition series Female Avatar’s Futurist Statement #4. In addition to the heartwarming experience in Taiwan, I got a nice shout out from Taipei Times! Here are photos from the opening, a blog post on a new work “Peace” Treaty (2019) that was created during my stay in Taiwan, and here is the press release.
I am ecstatic be a 2019-2020 LMCC Workspace participant and have spent the last week moving into my studio in lower Manhattan. Trinity Church is right outside of my window!
This coming Thursday November 7, I will be speaking at the Paul Robeson Gallery in Newark on Technologies of EcoArt. Join me, artist Keary Rosen and curator Alexandra Chang for this important dialogue supported by Rutgers University!
Prints from my ongoing collaborative projects Rhunhattan: A Tale of Two Islands and Mannahatta VR are currently on view at Concordia University thanks to the Department of Geography and Art History.
Please see below for details!
My best wishes,
Beatrice
Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement #4
Beatrice Glow — Flowers and Forts
Time: 2019.10.19 – 11.10, Tue. – Sun., 1-7pm
Venue: Taipei Contemporary Art Center (1 Fl, No.11, Lane 49, Baoan Street, Datong District, 10346 Taipei)
Opening: 2019.10.19 6pm
The fourth exhibition of the Female Avatars’ Futurist Statement series, Flowers and Forts, is presented by artist Beatrice Glow. The exhibition consists of video works and prints on silk, presenting parts of Glow’s long-term research project Rhunhattan: A Tale of Two Islands since 2015. The project focuses on the history that connects two islands, Mannahatta/Manhattan and Rhun of the Banda Islands, Indonesia.
Lasting over decades, the Spice War between the Dutch and the English came to an end with the Treaty of Breda in 1667. The two parties agreed to exchange their colonial territories of Mannahatta/Manhattan and Rhun of the Banda Islands, Indonesia. On each island, there are identically shaped star forts (trace italienne) that each witnessed the massacre of native peoples. The fortifications are architectural markers of European domination and extraction that link together lands, people, and cultures across the globe; they signify shared histories and cultural heritages. When Glow visited Fort Nassau in Banda Neira, Maluku, Indonesia, she found wild flowers growing in forts. Upon inquiring, she learned of local practices of bringing flowers to commemorate difficult histories.
Flowers and Forts traces traumatic memories in history. By juxtaposing the images of flower and forts, two seemingly disparate subjects, the works allude to cycles of exploitation, regeneration and resilience. As the artists mentions: “In the field of toxicology, a medicinal plant administered at different dosages can either heal or kill.” Flowers are often analogies for women not only to praise beauty, but also to minimize presence and agency. However, a beautiful plant could be weaponized as a means for survival, an embodiment of feminine power and resilience.
and
I am pleased to share that I am a 2019-2020 participant in Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Workspace program. Founded as Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, LMCC serves, connects, and makes space for artists and community.
Fellow cohort artists include Sonia Louise Davis, Gabriel Garcia Roman, Beatrice Glow, Sara Jimenez, Zaq Landsberg, Kevin Quiles Bonilla, Naomi Safran-Hon, Amy Lee Sanford, Sydney Shen, Christine Wong Yap and Zac Hacmon (On site assistant)
and
I am honored to speak at the EcoArt Salon at the Paul Robeson Gallery at Express Newark (54 Halsey St, Newark, NJ) Thursday Nov. 7 from 7-9pm alongside artist Keary Rosen on the invitation of curator Alexandra Chang.
“Multisensory multimedia and installation artist Beatrice Glow will discuss works-in-progress as she rethinks her new work that uses the metaphor of smoke for our arrival at the Capitalocene, touching on extractive economies through the social history of plants. She will also share the interrelated works Mannahatta VR and Rhunhattan, which she has been developing in her slow practice in allyship with indigenous communities. She will discuss indigenous environmental stewardship and the limits and possibilities of allyship.” RSVP
and
The Department of Geography, Planning & Environment and the Department of Art History at Concordia University have jointly supported an exhibition of prints from Rhunhattan: Tale of Two Islands and Mannahatta VR. The works are currently on display in the Geography Department, Hall Building (12th floor, 1455 Dr Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Canada).
Thank you for the continued support!!!

8. Adam Putnam, FF Alumn, at PPOW, Manhattan, opening Nov. 14
Adam Putnam
November 14 – December 21, 2019
Opening Reception: November 14, 6-8 PM
For his third show with P·P·O·W, Adam Putnam will exhibit a suite of landscapes in which his gaze has shifted toward the infinitely distant, toward that impossible place where sky meets water, where perspective meets memory and tiny events punctuate otherwise empty washes of ink: a beacon, an island, a wayward cloud, like characters orphaned from a Magritte painting.
Adam Putnam (b. 1973) is an interdisciplinary artist based in New York, whose work has appeared in various exhibitions and institutions worldwide including the 2008 Whitney Biennial; the 2nd Moscow Biennial; the Busan Biennial, South Korea; MoMA P.S.1 and The Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo. Curatorial projects have included an exhibition of Martin Wong entitled Everything Must Go at P·P·O·W and Blow Both of Us at Participant Inc. Recent projects have included solo exhibitions P·P·O·W, Galveston Artist Residency Gallery and the Munchen Kunstverein.
