'In 2021, Taipei Contemporary Art Center (TCAC) agreed to dissolve the association and publish four books. The title of each volume corresponds to a letter in the TACA acronym. Providing an overview of the organisation's projects and evolutions over the past decade, each volume has its own editorial concept and methodology. One can track the metamorphosis of our ideas and institutional practices throughout three phases in the four books: from 2010 to 2014; from 2015 to 2017; 2018 to 2020, as well as the chronology of the "Conclusion" over the past decade.

This book is the first out of four under the title of TCAC, which covers the documentation of the early years when TCAC was founded, and the programs from 2010 to 2014 as well. For the period from 2010 to 2012, this book compiles primarily historical documents such as press releases, exhibition reviews, manifestos, etc. to paint a picture of the creative/cultural atmosphere of that time, and includes several series of major TCAC projects. The articles that link the two periods discuss the shifts in the organisation and operation of TCAC, and how the modification of spatial design reflects changes in artistic production between the two periods. This book further reviews the 2013–2014 project plan and analysis, a conversation between operating team members, and the introduction of TCAC's series of "Socially Engaged Art TAlks".'—excerpt from Foreword
