• What & Artwork Selection: This art exhibition looks for works from all students and faculty. There are no restrictions on subject matter, form (graphic design, painting, sketching, illustration, sculpture, craft, installation, photography, performance, multi-media, film, etc.), or size. (This exhibition is focusing on the practice itself rather than the content, that’s why it doesn’t require a firm subject matter)

• What & Social Effect: Both artists and viewers are using artistic discourse (creation and interpretation) to disrupt the fixed distribution of power within space. Due to the special subjectivity of art, it itself does not form fixed power. The same space becomes different because of the "artwork", which may cause people to think further: that is, the power within the space is actually fictitious and fragile, so even without the “works of art”, we may also be able to break the fixed power structure.
