艾斯特．施佩爾畫廊主要專攻以「時間」為基本概念的藝術計畫，並藉由舉辦展覽開拓市場。自1990 年代便開始與畫廊合作的藝術家包含英國年輕藝術家團體（Young British Artists, YBAs）的成員——曾入圍「透納獎」（Turner Prize） 的安吉拉．布洛克（Angela Bulloch）、2002 年法國「杜象獎」（Prix Marcel Duchamp）得主多明尼可．龔札雷-弗爾斯特（Dominique Gonzalez – Foerster）；同樣曾獲「透納獎」提名，2009年代表德國館參加「威尼斯雙年展」（La Biennale di Venezia） 的藝術家利安．吉利克（Liam Gillick）、2017 年參加「敏斯特雕塑計畫展」（Skulptur Projekte Münster），以《After Alife Ahead》探討空間生命性獲得極大迴響的皮耶．雨格（Pierre Huyghe）以及2016年泰德現代美術館（Tate Modern）渦輪大廳（Turbine Hall） 委託在地創作計畫的藝術家菲利浦．帕黑諾（Philippe Parreno）等人。這些藝術家透過更為大膽地創作形式，重新思考展覽與其作品作為一種具有批判性質的媒介。
「台北當代藝博」重點則會呈現法國藝術家菲利普．帕雷諾的代表作「華蓋」（Marquee）系列。此系列始於2006 年，迄今創作約有50 逾件，此次將帶來該系列2016 年的作品。「華蓋」由燈泡與霓虹燈組成，在藝術家安排下，序列交替的閃爍著，讓觀者重新思考「光」在西方思想中，連結時間、理性及上帝等精神性意涵。
Esther Schipper: The Pilot of Poetic Time-space
By Chu Yi-An
Founded in Cologne, Germany in 1989, Esther Schipper will celebrate its 30th anniversary in March of 2019. Since its relocation to Berlin, the gallery has been reputed as "a dynamic force in shaping Berlin's art scene" and dedicated to exploring the market in Asia for the past five years.
Esther Schipper specializes in time-based art projects and expands the market by hosting exhibitions. The artists whom the gallery has worked with since the 1990s include Angela Bulloch, a member of the YBAs and a Turner Prize nominee, 2002 Prix Marcel Duchamp winner Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster; Liam Gillick, who was also a Turner Prize nominee and represented Germany at La Biennale di Venezia in 2009, Pierre Huyghe, who received incredible recognition for his work After Alife Ahead that explores life in a spatial structure at Skulptur Projekte Münster, Tate Modern's commissioned artist Philippe Parreno who created an on-site project at the Turbine Hall and other artists. These artists re-envision exhibitions and artworks as a critical medium and realizing them in bold creative forms.
Philippe Parreno's representative work Marquee series will be spotlighted at Taipei Dangdai. This series first began in 2006 and has accumulated over 50 artworks. His work from 2016 will be on view. Marquee is a sculpture assembled with lightbulbs and fluorescent tubes; the artist programs the light to dance and glimmer interchangeably, allowing viewers to reconsider the idea of "light" in Western ideologies while connecting time, reason, God and other spiritual notions.
