Admission Free,No registration required,*Japanese-Chinese consecutive interpretation only for Chen Wei-Chen

■ChenWei-Chen [陳為榛] [Period of Stay: 3 October - 20 Decmber, 2023]
For Chen, The origin of art is contemplated through observations made on everyday materials. Through practice and reconsideration of concepts such as ready-made, appropriation, and classic beauty, trajectories are extended from self-experience, cultural identity and circumstantial consciousness. Attempts are also made to allow materials under the artist’s control to be seen in ways that are different from their usual controlled and disciplined functions, meaning, and referential qualities.

■Koga Yoshihiro[Period of Stay: 14 October - 20 Decmber, 2023]
Koga who studied sculpture in university, focuses on the relationships between the self and the materials. Using cement or paraffin, Koga has been creating works figuring out the forms which appeared through the repetitions of simple actions. In another type of work, Koga refers to cement in relation to the local history and environment where the artist grew up.
