么八二空间

Tainan is a beautiful city itself and galleries such as 182 Art Space make it even more special. It's a two floor building with a bar at the back and a cool backyard, with graffiti on the way. The exhibitions are nice, with talented artists and the staff is extremely friendly - they can even connect you with other art spaces. Not to mention it's close to cultural and historical places in town, like the Chihkan Tower, temples and good restaurants with local food (even 50 Lan bubble tea!). Its definitely worth a visit.

Opened in November 2013, 182 is an independently run Art Space in Tainan City. In the historical setting of “Rice Road”, a place famed for it's numerous stories of ghost encounters, the 50 year old building has been lovingly converted into a bright, light and welcoming space for artists to show and discuss their work. This creative use of old space is what sets traditional cities like Tainan apart from modern Taipei, making the galleries here really something worth seeing. 182 was opened with the intention of giving young artists and curators a way to inexpensively show their work to the public. The shows usually run for 6 weeks and since opening have played host to a wide range of artistic genres including photography, installations, illustration and painting. Artists, art enthusiasts and members of the public are welcomed daily from 2pm til 12am to discuss, express and relax in the gallery's friendly atmosphere. And if your thirst for art leaves you with a thirst for drink, the cafe offers a wide range coffees and alcoholic beverages.

182 art space is my favorite place in Tainan. It's not only a gallery but also a bar, which combined with two buildings. The front building of 1F and whole 2 and 3F are spaces for exhibition, which they change for every 6 week. In the back of the 1F, a bar decorated with bright paintings on the wall, painted by local artist. Also, there is a yard at the end of 1F...if you like to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere, the yard will be the best place for you to stay. 182 makes art more friendly and closer...not as indifferent as usual...it's kinda part of the life. If you ever come to Tainan, you must not miss this place which offers space to see arts and have drinks with friends.
