Zhengbin Harbour Museum Of Art, initiated and curated by Zhengbin Art Studio at Keelung Zhengbin Fishing Port since 2021. Beyond our engaging and thought-provoking annual exhibitions, we have taken a step further by establishing “Space Moor” as a physical base. We envision “Space Moor” not only acting as the headquarters of creativity, dedicated to showcasing the vibrant city of Keelung, but also serving as a permanent exhibition space and a beacon for young artists and creators to settle in through our open calls or direct invitations. Our open calls span Exhibition and Sales, Arts Residency, and Temporary Relocation, inviting a continual exploration, creation, and breakthrough. Welcome to the very first experimental art space in Keelung!
For our open call, except Exhibition & Sales ang Arts Residency, we are especially encouraging proposals that seek to connect with the essence of Keelung’s Harbour culture.
We hope that anyone who wants to come to Keelung, Zhengbin Fishing Port, or a strange place can use this channel to practice their imagination of a new life, which may be digital nomadism, an experimental creative action plan, second place residence, or school relocation. Earth teaching, research interviews, etc. We welcome any new possibilities that require a short stay here to trigger! We look forward to making returning home or staying somewhere no longer just a choice of starting a business/employment/marriage, but a more flexible, fluid and diverse choice. Come to Space Moor to meet, get to know and communicate together!
Here, you can escape from the daily work rhythm and life experience. We hope you will be braver to get closer to your heart's desires during this time and become what you want to be.
In the same place, work and live together !

6. Additional Notes
Throughout the duration of the residency, the responsibility for the protection and compensation of both tangible assets (including but not limited to personal items, creative works, productive machinery, and equipment) and intangible assets (such as software, reputation, or intellectual property rights) rests solely with the residents. The management does not assume liability for these possessions.
Successful applicants will receive a notification letter and a contract, signing an advance agreement to solidify the residency terms. This agreement is fundamental in ensuring the mutual fulfillment of rights and obligations by both parties. It is important to note that should an individual be unable to complete the residency due to personal circumstances, the policy does not permit refunds. However, arrangements can be made to defer or transfer the residency(with approval), accommodating unforeseen needs.
Payments will be split into two installments (first installment: upon selection and contract signing, second installment: after successful move-in), with a NT$ 3,000 security deposit due within five days of residency commencement for performance bond. This deposit will be refunded post-residency, provided no damages occur to the facilities.
Without authorization, residents may not sublet the space to third parties under any circumstances.
The programs also welcome international applicants, field trips, international cultural exchanges, and project collaboration inquiries.
For long-term residency ideas (i.e., living in two places) or other exhibition collaborations extending beyond three months, feel free to contact us by email or phone.
In accordance with Personal Information Protection Act, relevant applicant information is used solely for residency recruitment purposes.
Should there be any significant violations of the program rules or failure to execute the project as planned, Zhengbin Art Studio reserves the right to cancel the residency qualification.

The Space in Space Moor
In the spring of 2021, Space Moor was born, crafted from the ground up in the realms of spatial planning, design, and management to establish a distinct brand identity. We have revitalized a 60-year-old dwelling, transforming a former ship repair workshop into a multifaceted creative space of possibility. The term "moor" signifies the act of docking or mooring a vessel, encapsulating our aspiration for every creator to arrive as a ship does: returning full and rich, ready to unload their bounty to nourish both body and soul. We warmly welcome wandering vessels to find rest here, in this inspiringly luminous harbor, to muster the courage for new voyages. Space Moor is envisioned as the genesis of your next great endeavor.
