Brief Description

Daan Park where the Taipei Metro Xinyi Line has passed, is the most relaxing, and the most greening of Taipei city. The DADA ART invited the director Chen Hui-Ting from Shalom Arts to plan the “Living in Daan Forest “Public Art Project in three stations of Taipei Metro Xinyi Line, adopting the concept of living with the nature.

Respecting the nature and having a dialogue with the nature is the inspiration for the artist. There are five permanent artworks created by artists from the U.S, Japan, and Taiwanese artists. Each of them led the audience to experience the early-morning mist, to see the rainbow, to meet the frog, and to roam around the Metro Xinyi Line.
