 「狠少有问题像『他者』问题那麼强而有力地支配着本世纪的思想。」米凯尔‧特尼森（Michael Theunissen；《他者》”Der Andere” ，1965）

今天，对於他者的意识及讨论的范畴，概念上已可普遍及於最广泛的「自我以外的主体」，不只是及於不同的国家、不同的民族，以外可扩及自然界所有不同的物种，以内则可及於所有不同的文化、语言、宗教信仰、不同的阶级、权力、性别、性向者（群体）、乃至於不同的个体。因此，所有自我与他者的分野，都在於彼此的差异性，而越為丰富活跃的差异性发展，正是所有国族、文化强盛的关键因素。

当代艺术对於他者的讨论，从上个世纪八十年代末、一直到现在，诸如「多元」、「异文化」、「跨域」、乃至於「全球化」、「全球在地化」……，这些主旋律上的命题，基本上都不出对於他者的问题意识，「他者」是个何其纠结，又何关键，何其重要的议题，人类未来对於这个议题的超越，或许可以想像将成為整个人类文化史上的一大超越。

臺湾当代艺术的发展跟臺湾文化内容的形成方式，有一个非常类似的脉络：在不同年代不同阶段，因為各种歷史之偶然的因素，而不曾间断地吸收了来自于全世界各个文化的资讯、思潮与流派，经过了时间的吸纳、消化、与转换，穿过了相通的生命经验与相异的个体特质，而生长成了非常鲜活、多元多样的，臺湾当代艺术现貌。

「他者测量——臺湾当代艺术」展所邀请的十位艺术家：杨茂林、李明则、陶亚伦、赖九岑、陈擎耀、吴季璁、朱骏腾、范扬宗、陈万仁、陈敬元，全都是出生、成长、求学、长期生活、工作於臺湾的艺术家；年龄从26岁到57岁；创作媒材从绘画、雕塑、摄影、录影、电脑绘图、数位影像製作、到机械动力、装置等等；希望能透够从世代、创作观念、创作样貌上，可以比较多元，尽求大致完整地，呈现臺湾当代艺术的多面特质，以做為未来仍然漫长的当代艺术交流过程中，一个累积性的基础工作。

 “No issues could dominate the thoughts of this century to the degree that ‘the Other’ did.” (Michael Theunissen, The Other, 1965)

Today, the “Other” concept, which has involved the widespread concept of “subject except self”, is not only appropriate to different countries and nationalities, but also different species in the nature. In the scope of country and nationality, the “other” concept is also appropriate to different cultures, languages, religions, classes, power, genders, groups, and even different individuals. Therefore, what divides self and other is the differences. And the development of these differences is the key factor to the growth of a nation and its culture.

The discussions on other in contemporary art from the end of 1980s and the beginning of 1990s to present, including “multi-culture”, “other culture”, “cross domain”, “globalization”, and “localization”, have always been in the scope of ‘Other’ consciousness. The “Other” is a complex but critical concept, to exceed which in future might be a breakthrough in the whole human cultural history.

Taiwan contemporary art grew in the same way that Taiwan culture developed. The current lively, multi-cultural, and wonderful Taiwan contemporary art came into being after absorbing, digesting, and transforming the cultures, ideological trends, and schools’ theories from all over the world in different periods.

Ten artists are invited to take part in the Measurement of the Other --Contemporary Art from Taiwan, including Yang Mao-Lin, Lee Ming-Tse, Tao Ya-Lun, Lai Chiu-Chen, Chen Ching-Yao, Wu Chi-Tsung, Chu Chun-Teng, Fan Yang-Tsung, Chen Wan-Jen, Chen Ching-Yuan. Except Chu Chun-Teng who is now studying at Goldsmiths College for over one year, they are native artists born, brought up, studying, living and working in Taiwan, with their age between 26 years old and 57 years old, and the media for their creation including painting, sculpture, photography, video, computer graphics, digital video production, mechanical dynamics and devices. They are expecting to take this rare opportunity to demonstrate a variety of characteristics of the contemporary art from Taiwan rater completely and in a diversified way from the aspects of generations, creative ideas and contexts, to do the accumulative basic work well for future long-term exchanges of contemporary art.
