2027 Zhengbin Harbour Museum of Art –Space Moor:Exhibition & Sales /Arts Residency Open Call

Founded and curated by the Xingbinshan team at Keelung’s Zhengbin Fishing Harbor in 2021, the Zhengbin Harbour Museum of Art presents an exciting annual programme of curated exhibitions. Building on this foundation, we established Space Moor, a permanent venue that serves both as a creative hub for discovering the city of Keelung and as the museum’s year-round exhibition space. Through open calls and invitations, we welcome young creatives to join us under two programmes: Exhibition & Sales and Artist Residency. Together, we continue to explore, create, and push boundaries. Welcome to Keelung’s first experimental art space! Our open call particularly encourages proposals that engage with Keelung’s harbour and maritime culture. Applications are also welcome regardless of discipline, theme, or medium. We invite practitioners working in artistic creation, cultural promotion, social design, cultural and creative industries, and related fields to join us. We look forward to meeting people who are interested in interacting with the Xingbinshan team and the city of Keelung at Space Moor, where we can connect, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. Here, you can step away from everyday routines and experience a different creative process and way of life. You may also freely transform the exhibition space to showcase and sell your work. The Xingbinshan team’s promotional platforms will provide additional marketing exposure. Beyond the enjoyment of travel and the inspiration it brings, we hope your time here will help you move towards the future and share the memories you create with this city. Creating Our Everyday Moments in Your Future!

2027 Hyogu Residency - The Art of Paper Mounting and Framing

The 2027 Hyogu Residency is a four-week program focusing on hyogu, the Japanese art of paper mounting and framing. Through the complete process of kakejiku hanging scroll mounting, participants will develop an understanding of hyogu and gain the practical skills required for kakejiku mounting. Led by an experienced hyogu mounter from a century-old mounting studio in Osaka, participants will complete mounting their own kakejiku while learning about the materials, traditional formats, techniques, and aesthetic principles of hyogu. The program brings together hyogu and cultural heritage conservation professionals, artists, and craftspeople through lectures, workshops, and curated field trips. Participants will visit studios and cultural sites, experience Nara’s traditions of handmade washi paper and sumi ink, and gain broader insight into the craftsmanship connected to hyogu. Beyond technical skills, the residency invites participants to consider the relationship between mounting and artwork, and how hyogu may inform their future artworks, personal projects, or appreciation of art. HIGHLIGHTS: • Build an understanding of Japanese hyogu through its history, philosophy, traditional formats, and aesthetic principles. • Practice the traditional mounting process of kakejiku hanging scrolls with direct guidance from a professional hyogu mounter - possible with personal artworks. • Take home a set of artisan-grade hyogu mounting tools for your long-term practice. • Full English-Japanese interpretation support throughout all lessons and an exclusive English Hyogu Handbook. • Live in a tranquil 18th-century registered national cultural property or the renovated annex building in the heart of historic Nara.
