A Glorious Century of Art
Lighting up a world of wonder and joy

2011, marks not only the centennial of the Republic of China (ROC), but also the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Fubon Group, making this a time of importance and celebration. As a member of the Fubon family, this is a moment of particular significance for the Fubon Art Foundation and to commemorate it we present 50 exhibition areas and 50 recommended stores stretching from Songshan cigarette factory to Xinyi District in the Eastern District of Taipei City. This exhibition is the largest for several years, the art on display representing 100 beacons scattered throughout the city, illuminating its true urban appeal.

In recent years “Very Fun Park” has become an increasingly well known part of the art world in Taipei and gone some way to dispelling the idea of art as something essentially separate from daily life. We very much believe that this is the perfect way to make art an integral part of life, because it infuses the city with vitality and allows us to wander through an intriguing mix of art works and urban space. One of the most enchanting things about “Very Fun Park” is that anyone in the city - office workers, tourists, residents – is liable to encounter art, exchanging spatial perceptions in the friendliest and most accommodating of ways. “Very Fun Park displays art so that it is cherished and always the focus of attention. One of these works, displayed on the exterior of the Fubon Banking Center building, was created by Canadian artist Gordon Wiebe and sponsored by the Department of Cultural affairs. This piece presents a stunning combination of variegated colors and friendly smiling faces, the blossoming ground bloom flowers infusing Eastern Taipei with an attractive dash of colorful brilliance.

Life needs to be nourished by art. To have it is a blessing and to be able to share it with others is to spread love and warmth. Experience and emotionally moving viewers are the best way to grab their attention, removing the need for verbose explanations. With this exhibition, Fubon Art Foundation seeks to light up the moment and share art with everyone. Welcome to “Very Fun Park” a place of wonder and joy
