註釋"On September 11, 2004, eighteen artists and artist groups gathered on the former military Island of Kinmen, situated between Taiwan and Mainland China, to inaugurate the Bunker Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA), Kinmen, a mile away from the Mainland shore and 150 miles from Taiwan, has played a pivotal role in cross-strait relations since 1958, when it became the target of 500,000 artillery shells in 44 days. Its demilitarization in the early 1990s required the evacuation of 100,000 soldiers, leaving behind over 2000 bunkers. In turn, BMoCA transformed these abandoned military bunkers into exhibition spaces for artists from various disciplines, ranging from visual artists to composers, architects to filmmakers, crossing the borders of historical and political territories. During the museum's first six months, the exhibition drew a miraculous 880,000 visitors to the island of 50,000 residents. The curatorial team; led by internationally renowned artist Cal Guo-Qiang, built the exhibition upon a platform of four pillars: provocative artworks, cultural promotion, economic investment, and an atmosphere of hospitality towards outside visitors. This exhibition catalogue documents the seminal exhibition of a revitalized Kinmen, the island that participating artist Tan Dun-described as "an underground heaven for art.""--BOOK JACKET.
