TIQE2012 Taiwan International Quilt Exhibition – Related Information

Dear TAQS members and people who love and support art quilt,

Keeping up doing right things is one of the establishment spirits of TAQS. It made a small group like us being able to carry out an International quilt event. In order to have a successful opening of TIQE2012 on Aug. 11, 2012, we have kept working hard in the past three years to connect every small detail together. Thanks to all of our members who are cooperative, willing to help, and courageous to take the responsibilities, we finally renew the art quilt history of Taiwan once again. There are still 72 days left to the opening of TIQE2012, but it is the most difficult and the longest distance for us. It’s just like a marathon runner finally sees the goal, but the real challenge is just about to begin. The runner needs to make a last minute dash in order to succeed, otherwise all the hard works he has done are in vain.

Following TIQE2009, this year we have a total of 22 countries, 207 quilters, 292 works, and 3 international organizations involved in the show. It is obvious that the number has doubled and it may affect the international appreciation and perception of Taiwanese art quilts gradually. We expect that the global art quilt creative space will give a position for Taiwanese quilters, so that we can work on the development of Taiwan art quilt more effectively since then.

I would like to thank TAQS for the efforts they made to display the art works of Taiwanese and overseas quilters together in an exhibition. Quilters around the world are envy of this grace. It is undeniable that TAQS carry out this exhibition because we wish to introduce Taiwanese art quilts to the international quilt world. TAQS insist that there should not be any commercial involved in this show, and are proud to have technical and creative exchanges in the exhibition in order to benefit the majority of quilters for their technical upgrade. This is the record of what we have done in the past three years.

Attached are the course introduction and registration form of TIQE2012 International Symposium and Advanced workshop. The reasons for planning these international exchanges are as followed:

Seminar:

International quilters would express their unique perspective of the ideals of “surface design”. The panelists can listen and ask questions. We have had a hard work and communicated with the quilters to carry out the seminar.

Opening the Advanced Workshop motives several introspections!

1.    While the price of printed cotton fabric gets higher and the production reduced due to global warming, what kind of technology can be use or reuse on natural resources?

2.    What technology to bring in Taiwan would reduce the customer of quilt importers and suppliers?

3.    What kind of technology would allow Taiwanese quilters to enhance their creativity and international competitiveness quickly?

4.    What kinds of creative concept would allow quilters to open their horizons?

5.    What kinds of people willing to challenge the most difficult techniques and bring them into Taiwan without any profit?

Do not miss this rare opportunity and please help with the promotion.

The current overseas quilters are from more than five countries. Please help with the promotion and participate enthusiastically to make the seminars and workshops big and successful, so that they can bring back good impressions and help to promote Taiwanese art quilt overseas.

The four teachers of workshop all have their unique perspectives of surface design. Detail information for courses introduction are as followed. Seize the opportunity!
