［Residence Program］ Oct 3, 2023〜Dec 20, 2023
Born in 1993, Lives and works in New Taipei, Taiwan
In Chen’s work, everyday materials or traces on streets are observed and presented differently from their original meaning or character. By doing so, the artist attempts to reconsider concepts such as ready-made, appropriation, and classic beauty.

■Koga Yoshihiro

Born in 1986, Fukuoka, Japan. Lives and works in Kurume.
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.
