'MOCA Taipei's exhibition uses cutting-edge artistic media and the most common of everyday materials to unearth the spiritual situation beneath material situations, thereby redefining traditional visions of "paradise" and "childhood". In this exhibition, we see different visual aesthetics, life-values, and memories of childhood expressed through the toys and high-technology products of a changing era. These twenty artists from Taiwan and abroad, working with different levels of history, environment, society, environmental protection, and technology, show us not only the "pleasure" of "paradise" and "childhood", but also artistic modes of thought centred around critique, reflection, and contemplation.' Abstract from a preface by Ying-tai Lung, Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Taipei. This catalogue includes the following western artists - Paul Kos, Jean Pierre Raynaud, Camille Utterback, Romy Achituv. Also included are artist biographies.
