Lai Chih-Sheng (b. 1971, Taiwan) pursues a practice that plays with tension, the everyday and personal encounters across multiple mediums in particular installation and sculpture. There is a playful minimalism in the way he observes detail and creates relationships between different parts of a room, engaging the viewer’s sense of body and presence. Lai Chih-Sheng prompts us to pay that little more attention to our surroundings, to what we contribute and how, engaging with our contexts, the peculiarities of space and the present. Lai Chih-Sheng has exhibited internationally including solo exhibitions at ALIEN Art Centre, Kaohsiung (2020), Taipei Fine Arts Museum (2020), Kirishima Open Air Museum, Kagoshima, Japan (2019) amongst others.

Berlin-based artist Reijiro Wada is a sculptor working with landscape in eccentric and conceptual methods. In “ISOLA” (2010-) for instance, water surfaces are varied through floating glass module structures; while for “VIA” (2004), he altered the perception of a natural waterfall in the Alps, bending the flow through a horizontal, intersecting mirror. For “VANITAS” (2015), the artist placed two panels at an acute angle, and threw various fruits into the gap between the brass plates. Over time, the fruit’s acidity eroded the surface of the brass, and a patina was formed from the trace of its movement.

Mori has been catapulted into artistic fame, collected by museums and art collectors the world over. The focus of her work has turned from its initial preoccupation with the roles of women in Japanese society to increased internal, spiritual and unifying themes. Her constant quest for research has enabled her to create abstract, large-scale, highly accomplished three-dimensional works which cross various research disciplines from neuroscience to archaeology.

Darren Almond uses a diverse range of media and techniques – from manufactured flip-clocks to moonlit, long-exposure photographs – to deploy the notion of time and the way it is perceived. Many of his works are conceived during his expeditions to remote and often inaccessible locations such as the Arctic Circle, Siberia, and the mystic Hiei mountains in Japan. Though concurrently reflecting on the world’s geology, ecology and realities of the human condition within these landscapes, Almond’s work induces evocative meditations on time and duration activating both personal and collective memory.

Yi Hsuan, PENG has regarded painting, video art, sculpting as the tone of speculative art proposition for a long time. Thus, daily objects could directly touch upon the artistic propositions, and further decontextualize them in a dialectical fashion. With an attempt to make the history of neutral objects in Taiwan possible, and to show a new perspective, use and practice system.

Winner of the Taipei Arts Awards and Kaohsiung Award, the highest honors in Taiwan, contemporary artist Teng Yuan, CHANG specializes in rewriting the stories within the texts of his works. In his fictional character “Parrot Man,” the artist transforms his own identity. The parrot is a paradox that knows how to imitate the human voice but does not know the meaning of its sound. Teng Yuan, CHANG’s work presents a mixture of truth and fiction.  He also uses a compilation of observations from daily life to reconstruct the text and graphics in a third-party persona, dissecting the shaping concept of collective social consciousness. His works have been presented in solo exhibitions or joint exhibitions in London, Cologne, New York, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul and Taipei.
