Etat Lab

Taiwanese contemporary artist Wenhao Huang established Etat in 1995, as a non-profit organization aiming to discover and encourage new art forms in Taiwan. From 1995-1997, Etat hosted a series talks, speeches, and performances by artists and professionals from diverse artistic fields to initiate a discussion of contemporary artistic trends, called "Cultural Conference". "Cultural Conference" stirs up various forms of art making in Taiwan and works as an alternative forum for contemporary artists to present and exchange ideas. Etat has fully documented the "Cultural Conference" and initiated the first contemporary art web in Taiwan, "Eat Web", allowing a broader audience access to such developments.
