Closed Monday, open until 21:00 on Saturdays; a paid ticket also covers the municipal Tainan Art Museum that day.
At Taiwan Spectrum, artist 賈茜茹 asks visitors to trace one another with crayons. The accumulated outlines become a mountain range. I like the ridiculous intimacy of that instruction: bring a friend, lend your silhouette to the landscape.
The exhibition opens October 8 at the National Museum of Modern Art Tainan. Its four sections move through books, painting, plant dyes and sound. The body drawing is where I would begin.
Get there
Public transport
From Tainan HSR station, take the H31 shuttle to Jianxing Junior High School (Confucius Temple); the museum is about a five-minute, 400-metre walk. Enter from You'ai Street or Fuqian Road.
