Jau-lan GUO
Grants
To explore the intersection of the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) and the history of Taiwanese art. Guo aims to examine the influence of ACC and its predecessor, the JDR 3rd Fund, on the development of modern art in Taiwan during the 1960s and 70s, through archival research and interviews. She will conduct research at the Rockefeller Archive Center, consulting relevant archival materials related to ACC Taiwan grantees, including Liu Kuo-Sung (ACC 1964, 1966), Chuang Che (ACC 1966, 1968), and Fong Ray (ACC 1971). Guo seeks to reexamine the relationships between grantmaking, international exchange, and the development of modern art in Taiwan within the context of the Cold War, and to contribute further historical materials and perspectives to the study of Taiwanese art history.
