Contemporary photography galleries in Taipei?

I am spending a week in Taipei and would love to spend a day looking at some contemporary photography galleries in town. I did some high level googling and found a few gallery listings, but most of the listed galleries don’t seem to be there anymore, dead links, etc. Might also be a case of certain galleries not having a website or not showing up in non-Chinese-language searches. The only gallery I could find was the Taiwan International Visual Arts Center, Lane 45, Liaoning St, Jhongshan District. I have no idea how active the photography scene is in Taipei, if there even is a demand for high caliber photography taken in Taiwan or by Taiwanese photographers which can be hung on a wall. I would greatly appreciate if you could recommend any other gallery spaces (small or large) that might be worth checking out?

Thanks in advance

So have done a bit of research in the meantime and thought I might share my findings, in the hope that some of you might find it useful. The galleries that I have found and that I plan to visit are:

  1. IT Park - www.itpark.com.tw/
  2. Galerie Grand Siecle - changsgallery.com.tw/
  3. Nanhai Gallery - blog.roodo.com/nanhai/
  4. Taiwan International Visual Arts Centre - ncafroc.org.tw/

If you know of any other ones, please reply and list them in this thread.
