Rooted in Taiwan's 1990s visual art and experimental theater, C-LAB's major exhibition Re: Play explores contemporary corporeal expressions through live art. Curated by CHUANG Wei-Tzu, WANG Po-Wei, and River LIN, the exhibition brings together 16 artists to examine bodies disciplined, neglected, or requisitioned by state and neoliberal structures. Through performative language, movement, and field structures, the project investigates sensory states across three distinct sections: Archive on Live, The Display on Live, and Performance Process. Together, these components offer a multifaceted exploration of archives, narratives, spaces, and the body.

Organized by TheCube Project Space and C-LAB, the 2020 Praxis School explores human desire for immortality under the theme Immortal Body. Building on past discussions of modern life and technology, the series examines how medical knowledge shapes human experiences of life and death, touching on themes like digital replacement, cyborgs, and life-sustaining wizardry. Featuring lectures by scholars across science history, palliative care, and medicine, the program also hosts two lectures titled Gaia, Technology, and Extinction in connection with the 2020 Taipei Biennial curated by Bruno Latour and Martin Guinard.
Centered on "games" and "gathering," C-LAB's Play Arts Festival transforms the former Air Force Command Headquarters into a friendly, vibrant space for accessible performing arts. For its third edition, themed "eye-to-eye/transformation," the festival extends from indoor spaces to outdoor park areas following the removal of C-LAB's outer walls. Through interactive exhibitions, workshops, and experimental performances, the event supports emerging creators and invites audiences to observe, participate in, and co-create a unique artistic landscape.
Initiated by TheCube Project Space in 2016, Praxis School is an annual lecture and workshop series. Extending its 2018 theme on technology and modern life, the 2019 edition explores "medical care and healing." The program examines how cultural concepts of illness, health, and cleanliness—alongside medical technologies—shape physical, mental, and social experiences. Featuring historian Li Shang-Jen, researcher Tsai Yu-Yueh, and artists Yang Yu-Chiao and Chen Yin-Ju, the series offers multidisciplinary perspectives ranging from Western medicine and indigenous lifestyles to folk medicine and shamanic healing.
Tiɑngong Kɑiwu (The Exploitation of the Works of Nature): Modern Life and the History of Technology is the theme that runs through the 2018 Praxis School Lecture Series, with special foci on the relations between humanity and objects as well as their history, and the best way for us to react accordingly. The lecture series spans a period from August 2018 to March 2019 with a total of 12 sessions, and 9 among them are offered in collaboration with the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab (formerly known as the Taiwan Air Force Innovation Base). We’re honored to have a star-studded line-up of lecturers this year, including Huang Sun-Quan, Li Shang-Jen, Liu Yan, Hsieh Ying-Chun, Manray Hsu, Hung Kuang-Chi and Li Shih-Chieh.
