Taiwan Artists Today consists of three individual exhibitions by Ku Shih-Yung, Chen Hui-Chiao, and the Chang Brothers(Chang Keng-Hau + Chang Geng-Hwa) held at MOCA Taipei in 2006. It aims to to explore and analyze the age-old question of how art 'conducts dialogue with the real world from a created space that is not reality.' One characteristic these artists all share is that their creations do not directly touch on society, politics or the economy, nor do they advertise themselves or strive to become eternal doctrines. Rather, they return to direct, unprompted perception, from which they each create different artistic utopias with their own unique flavors and faces.

The present catalogue features works by the twin brothers Chang Keng-Hau and Chang Geng-Hwa. For the exhibition the brothers decide to adopt 'Xiao Biao Gan' as the Chinese title - a term which was first coined by Ku Shih-Yung to echo the widespread sub-culture of 'Mo lei tau', meaning 'silly talk' or 'non-sense'. In the exhibition, it refers more specificallly to a kind of pure unmediated expression whcih goes beyond any explantions. With artist biography and artist statement.
