The inaugural Taipei Art Week’s public art sector is privileged to have Lin Kuan-ying as the key advisor for recommending Taipei’s public art projects.

With his deep cultural insight, Lin has helped curate some of the most iconic public artworks in Taipei over the past decade. These works serve not only as artistic expressions but also as reflections of the city’s cultural identity. His recommendations underscore the significance of public art in shaping urban landscapes, emphasizing a cohesive aesthetic, mindful planning, and respect for local ecology. Furthermore, Lin’s diverse artistic initiatives invite a wide array of artists, seamlessly blending material appropriateness, narrative, and beauty to infuse each piece with distinct cultural meaning. Through the continued efforts of Taipei Arts Week, we aspire to gradually paint the city’s streets with a rich and vibrant cultural map.
