Presenting artworks and programs by 60 artists and groups, as well as philosophers, sociologists, writers, architects, and musicians. In the title of “Enlarged Intelligence”, exploring ecology, technology, and envisioning how we today may draw on intelligent technologies to advance social values. Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan who are known to Nunu Fine Art friends are presenting a specially-commissioned installation based from their “In-Habit: Project Another Country” series. As usual they invite Chengdu residents to participate in the creation, using 200 pieces of paper and 100 cartons to build a “future city” within 7200 seconds. Each small house made by the participants will eventually be grouped together by the Aquilizans creatinga city that gathers the participants’ imagination. In the view of Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan, the future city should not be in single form, in addition to the alienation of high-rise buildings and straight avenues, the human homeland also needs an ecological community that can communicate and co-exist.

In the “Thailand Biennale Karabi 2018” artist shortlist, artists cooperated with Nunu Fine Art including art group—Vertical Submarine that made the exhibition “John Martin: The butcher and the surgeon,” artists Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan, who had been working closely with us in “The Left Wings Project in Taiwan”, and artist Ben Rivers, who made the film “What Means Something” of artist Rose Wylie, are going to display their artworks in Krabi, Thailand from November this year to February next year. 
　　　　
As the most important international exhibition in Thailand, the first Thailand Biennale is coming soon at Krabi’s outdoor venues. “Edge of the Wonderland” is this year’s biennale theme. Like the renowned story “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,” the land connects to our everyday reality and yet, it’s special atmosphere and aura makes us fall into a world of fantasy and imaginary. Located in Thailand’s border, as if Krabi is the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland, creating a boundary between reality and illusion, real and imaginary, material and spirit, and known and unknown. “Thailand Biennale Karabi 2018” will at the same time promote this wonderland in Andaman Sea as a world art city.
　　　　
In the four months exhibition, Thailand Biennale encourages creative strategies and innovative practices for site-specific installations. Different from the static structure, the biennale’s exhibition space varies from one day to another depends on weather and environment condition. Artists’ artworks are also based on the theme “Edge of the Wonderland,” and combined Krabi’s unique landscapes and exhibition forms. The first Thailand biennale is a cutting-edge exploration driven by visual practice, and a new way of thinking, providing opportunities for nature and art to meet together, and at the same time let us start our creative and imaginative trip from “Edge of the Wonderland.”

Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan display the gigantic bird wing made by hand-forged sickles, sharp sickles form a contrast to the soft wing, and the risk balance of the two reflect Philippines’ complex reality in modern agricultural society. 
This eye-catching exhibition“Two Houses”comes to Taiwan this year. Started from this early year, Nunu Fine Art had cooperated with artist Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan, and Nunu Fine Art became the base camp of The Left Wing Project.”By collecting the used secondhand sickles, the artists take these objects filled with emotions and local memories to reflect the current situations of the lands in Taiwan as well as the difficulties faced the Taiwanese farmers. Through such opportunity, we also seek to fulfill our obligation to our society, and reveal our concern towards our agricultural issues.
