Museum of Vancouver reposted this
The exhibition "Disused Public Property in Taiwan," currently on display at the Vancouver Museum, is a deeply thoughtful exploration of how photography—despite its ubiquity in our modern lives—remains a powerful tool for effecting change and documenting the societies we inhabit. This collection of images captures the stark beauty and haunting emptiness of abandoned public spaces in Taiwan. The exhibition presents these spaces as they are and invites viewers to reflect on broader themes of architecture, social planning, and the impact of societal shifts on public infrastructure. In an era where photography is everywhere, this exhibition underscores its enduring importance in recording history and offering commentary on the present. The exhibition ends on September 2nd, and it is for anyone interested in photography, architecture, or social planning. It’s interesting to see how art can engage with and reflect upon the changing landscapes of our urban environments.

Great piece on our current exhibition, Mirage: Disused Public Property in Taiwan! Read it here, then come see the exhibition in person before it closes after the Labour Day long weekend.
Taiwanese artist Yao Jui-chung noticed many public buildings in Taipei that were abandoned and began photographing and documenting them. He got his students to return to their hometowns to do the same which led to asking the government for accountability. Yao was recently in Vancouver for his exhibition at the Museum of Vancouver and did a photo walk with amateur and professional photographers taking pictures of some neglected places.

Thanks to RBC for sending us volunteers for the VIP opening of Mirage: Disused Public Property in Taiwan. It was a great event and they helped make it so by greeting and directing guests. And of course we are so appreciative of RBC’s support of our volunteer program more generally! Thanks to funding we’ve been able to boost volunteer appreciation and training initiatives!
#TeamRBC was pleased to support the opening reception of Mirage: Disused Public Property in Taiwan at the Museum of Vancouver (MOV) this evening. This special exhibition covers 10 years of artist Yao Jui-Cheng’s use of photography as a form of social activism by exposing Taiwan’s “mosquito halls.” Starting in the 1970s, Taiwan invested in convention centres, sports facilities, schools, and other public infrastructure only to abandon them – leaving them to breed mosquitoes, waste money, and add to urban decay. I had the pleasure of connecting with Angel Li Hsin Liu, Director General of the Taipei Economic & Cultural Office in Vancouver, and other Taiwanese artists, business leaders, and community leaders. Thank you to Wendy Mah for connecting the RBC Taiwanese Professionals Network with Debby Reis and Brendan Brooks. Several of our members were proud to present an RBC Communties Together Fund donation tonight to Mauro Vescera, CEO of the MOV, in support of the museum’s work around the arts, environment, and reconciliation. #RBCemployee #myCompany #myCommunity #AsianHeritageMonth Martin Thibodeau Scott Tomlin Carmen Stossel Kam K.

Tomorrow, May 18th, is International Museum Day and we're offering a pay what you can day to celebrate! This annual event was established by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) in 1977 to highlight the role of museums in cultural exchange, enriching cultures and fostering understanding among people. The theme of this year’s International Museum Day is “Museums for Education and Research” and aims to highlight museums as vibrant spaces that cultivate learning, inspire curiosity and contribute to groundbreaking research. We hope you’ll stop by to visit that day and learn a story about Vancouver’s history you may not have known before.
