The 33rd edition of ART TAIPEI will run from 30 October to 2 November at Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1, with 127 galleries from six countries and regions. Announced under the theme "Symbiosis", the fair brings 66 Taiwanese galleries together with 61 from overseas — the closest the domestic-international balance has ever been. Korea and Japan dominate the overseas contingent, with 25 and 22 galleries respectively, including Gana Art and GALLERY BATON from Seoul and Whitestone and Kaikai Kiki from Tokyo. New this year is "Curated Japan", a special section organised by Tokyo-based Jeffrey Ian Rosen of MISAKO & ROSEN under the title "Turning the frown upside down". Thirteen Japanese galleries and independent spaces, among them SCAI THE BATHHOUSE, Tomio Koyama Gallery, ANOMALY and XYZ Collective, will present Japanese contemporary art in a curated format attentive to how art is shown and circulated outside established market systems. Taiwanese programming looks inward across generations. The 19th edition of the "Made in Taiwan" newcomer section, convened by critic and independent curator 鄭乃銘, pairs eight emerging artists with local galleries. The seventh Indigenous art section, curated by 徐文瑞 as "Flowers on the Fault Line" (斷層帶上的花朵), presents four artists reflecting on cultural change, resilience and revitalisation. A Hakka-themed exhibition curated by 白適銘 takes the writer 李喬's "Song of the Banyan Tree" (鹿仔樹之歌) as its starting point, tracing land, community and narrative in Hakka art. For the first time, the fair introduces an AI chatbot to guide visitors through the halls, alongside Art Talks on 30–31 October with speakers including the National Art Center Tokyo's chief curator Yukie Kamiya, and the Taipei Art Economy Forum on 1 November devoted to generative AI and the art market. Running in parallel, the third Taipei Art Week spans 24 October to 7 November with more than 107 participating venues, a public-art programme, an international curators' forum, a Gallery Weekend on 24–25 October and five art-bus routes ferrying visitors between galleries.
