“Tung Ho Steel International Artist Residency” originated from the three-year collaborative project initiated by Mrs. Shu-Chau Wang Ho, Chief Operating Officer of Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corporation, and the National Culture and Arts Foundation. Since 2012 onward, Tung Ho Steel Foundation has continued the project to invite one Taiwanese artist and one foreign artist annually to create artworks at Tung Ho Steel Miaoli Works. Artists are provided with scrap steel, professional machinery and technical support for their artistic creation. Tung Ho Steel hopes to promote the art of steel sculpture, expand its possibility and foster inter-cultural dialogue and artistic exchange through the project. This exhibition features two artists that participated in the 2017 Tung Ho Steel International Artist Residency; they are Zai-Qian LEE from Taiwan and Kazuo YUHARA from Japan. Their artworks created during their residency will be displayed on the plaza of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei. Influenced by Western minimalism, both artists have exceled in applying simple forms to interpret their native cultures. The artworks on view also revisit the nature of steel, as the artists have ingenuously made use of scrap steel and reduced processing procedures to reflect on the relationship between their works and the surrounding environment. Seven sculptures in total are on view in this exhibition. Lee’s works demonstrate the rebirth of H-shape steel. He uses scrap H-shape steel pieces selected from the steel plant, transforms them into minimalistic sculptures with simple processing procedures, and reveals the structural beauty and nature of the material through a contrast of colored and raw surfaces. Yuhara, on the other hand, directly uses industrial products, such as checkered steel plate and steel mesh, to create alternative spaces, which allow audiences to be immersed in spatial experiences different from those they can find in daily life through their interaction with the artworks.

Born in 1930 in Tokyo, Kazuo YUHARA graduated from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, where he studied sculpture. In 1962, he won the grand-prix with scholarship of studying abroad at the Competition of Maruzen Oil Foundation, Tokyo, and left for Paris the next year, where he worked until returning to Japan in 1980. His sculptures during his earlier days as an art student were figurative. After his return, his works transformed into cold minimalist abstract style, presenting the nature and texture of the materials and manifesting metaphysical meaning.
YUHARA’s works have travelled throughout Japan and around the world, for example, the 5th Guggenheim International Exhibition of Sculpture, the 10th Sao Paolo Biennale and the Expo Museum of the Arts, Osaka, Triennale-India, and Art Fair Tokyo. A lot of his works are in the collections of private collectors in Europe and the United States. He now resides and works in Japan and his more recent sculptures showcase an emphasis on the relationship between the works and surrounding spaces, as well as the possibilities of interactive relationship between the works and audiences.
Born in Xianyou, Fujian Province, China, in 1928, Lee entered the Department of Fine Arts at Taiwan Provincial Normal College (now National Taiwan Normal University) in 1948, where he was first introduced to sculptural art. Finding inspirations in traditional Chinese philosophy, LEE adopts the minimal style of Western modernism as his expressive method, and has become known for creating steel sculptures; through spatial constructs, he represents the aesthetic thinking on purity and nature of Oriental philosophy.
Lee founded with important contemporary sculptors the “Zodiac Sculpture Group.” In 1983, LEE utilized steel plates to create the “Endless Minimalism,” which was a red abstract triangular plane, and participated in the Taipei Fine Arts Museum Opening Exhibition. Because its shape and color provoked associations of the Red Chinese regime of P.R.O.C., the original work was painted white without LEE being notified in advance. The incident triggered public uproar. In recent years, LEE has continued creating sculptures relentlessly. His works have been collected by major art museums both in Taiwan and abroad. LEE also published “Greek Sculpture,” “On Sculpture—Iron Scraps and Dust: Compilation of Zai-Qian LEE’s Essays at the Age of 88,” and “Minimal, Infinite. Improvisation 89: The Sculpture of Zai-Qian LEE.”
