2023 Kaohsiung International Steel & Iron Sculpture Festival

With the theme of "everything is connected", Kaohsiung's iron and steel industry was recreated in an intense thematic exhibition and on-site creation.

Steel is large and heavy, so artists are usually invited to create artwork outdoors. However, the exhibition has a new indoor area and the curatorial team invited the local steel and hardware industries to participate in the art creation. Like the malleable nature of steel, the installations and artworks in the area include four-meter-long aluminum coils and small, delicate screws. It can be said that the metal industry has built up this harbor city. The design team took the "melting pot" as the core, giving it the image of a time tunnel. At the same time, the indoor area also symbolized the timeline of the iron and steel industry, from its rise in the past to the maturity of its current technology, to its diversified applications in the future, and responded to the complete chain of the metal industry in Kaohsiung. The public could enter the area through the long corridor to enjoy an immersive experience.
