策展主題：玄之又玄
「 我們總追尋著光明，期望它能引領我們到嚮往之處。 」我是誰 ？ 我是什麼？「 智慧的第一要點是辨別哪些是假的，第二點才是知道哪些是真的。」－ 教父坦修斯
在追求隱藏知識與自我時；我們藉由各式方法與管道；盲目地追求著隧道盡頭的光明與幸福；而神秘學的本質討論的是物質和事物的本質。如同台北插畫藝術節每年策展與談論不同主題，最終側重的仍為參與創作者與其創作本身。豐衣足食後我們找尋著超我，為了滿足慾望而掙扎痛苦著。
當身心靈富足後，便進一步探索著「靈」；也就是自我的「未知神秘世界」。第六屆台北插畫藝術節以插畫作為媒介，帶領大家探研「神秘學」；而「神秘學」事實上所追求的不過是「隱藏的知識」。透過插畫藝術結合四大領域：宇宙論、秘傳心裡、預測學與魔法學；以常見的占卜、塔羅牌、魔法、心理測驗等來呈現，讓插畫不只是插畫！
Mystery Of Occult
“We always look for the light, hoping it will lead us to where we want to be. “ Who am I? What am I?
In our search for hidden knowledge and self, we blindly pursue the light and happiness at the end of the tunnel through various methods and channels. The essence of occultism discusses the nature of matter and things.
Just as the Taipei Illustration Art Festival curates and discusses different themes every year, The ultimate goal is still FOCUS ON the creators and their WORKS. When we are well-fed and well-clothed, than we will search for our superego, and struggle to satisfy our desires. When the mind and body are spiritually rich, then we further explore the “spirit”, which is the “unknown mystery world” of the self.
The 6th Taipei Illustration FAIR uses illustration as a medium to lead people to explore the ” Occult “. In fact, what we seek for “Occult” is only THE “hidden knowledge”. Through the illustration, we combine four major fields in occult : cosmology, mysticism, prediction and magic; presenting them with common divination, tarot cards, magic, psychological tests, etc. Let illustration not just illustration!
「插畫」是一種結合藝術創作與文字，非語言和語言的藝術表現，有著「敘說」內在思維的傳播性本質。
「台北插畫藝術節」開創出屬於台北城市、台灣在地與國際串聯的插畫藝術展會。透過每年主題策展式徵件，向國內外插畫創作者徵集作品展出，並設計獎勵制度，鼓勵並扶植插畫創作。這屬於台北城市的插畫藝術節，成為固定舉辦的常態性盛會，集結優秀在地插畫家，共同曝光凝聚插畫效益，推動插畫藝術產業良性循環發展，讓「插畫不再只是插畫。」
” Illustration ” is a kind of artistic expression combining artistic creation and writing, non-language and language, and has the disseminative nature of “narrative” inner thinking.
” Taipei Illustration Fair ” create an illustration art exhibition that is part of Taipei City and Taiwan’s local and international Illustration activity.
Through the annual thematic curatorial solicitations, the works are presented to local and foreign illustration creators, and reward systems are designed to encourage and support illustration creation. we hope this fair of illustrations belonging to the city of Taipei has become a regular event held at a normal state. It will bring together outstanding illustrators to share the benefits of illustrations and promote the virtuous circle of illustrator industry. ” Illustration is not just illustration. “
