He has always paid close attention to social practice that focuses on labor issues and civic awareness, with concepts of hybridism applied in his endeavors. He remains till this day an activist that continues to take part in marches and resistance movements. Liu’s art explores gestures of painting and contemplates on the meaning behind existence, examining political subjectivity examined and reflecting on the labor that takes place behind aestheticism, as seen with the labor that goes into framing paintings and other aspects related to the consumer society. He spends a great deal of his time contemplating on everyday details and also on the act of painting. Liu’s oeuvre is a culmination of his philosophy and art practice, which shows the relationship between him and resistance movements.

1954年生於臺灣臺北,美國紐約普瑞特藝術學院研究所畢業。大學時就讀於文化大學美術系,畢業後深感於戒嚴體制下,關於社會議題的創作難以發揮,決定負笈美國深造。於1993年自美返臺,時值臺灣已邁入「後解嚴」時期,傳統體制與價值系統迅速崩解之時,社會、政治、文化呈現一種渾沌狀態,其創作靈感即反映長期關注政治議題以及身分認同的思考,作品充滿政治意識的符碼,是藝術家針對時下議題或已發生的事件作出幽默的回應。以化繁為簡,去蕪存菁的藝術語言,幽默地化解了矛盾的衝擊力。他運用了圖像、語言與空間的錯置排列,讓事物有了不同的詮釋邏輯。其顛覆的手法使作品俱現處處機鋒的解讀樂趣。
Born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1954, Dean-E Mei holds an MFA from Pratt Institute in New York. He studied fine art at Chinese Culture University, and after graduation, he felt the system under martial law was smothering his creative work about social issues and decided to pursue a higher education in the US. He returned to Taiwan in 1993 when Taiwan had entered a “post-martial law era,” during which traditional systems and values were rapidly collapsing and chaos prevailed in the social, political and cultural scenes. Mei draws inspiration from his observation of political issues and reflections upon the question of identity. His work is informed by symbols that are highly politically charged and represents his humorous responses to contemporary issues or events taking place at the time. His artistic vocabularies, which simplify the complicated and preserve the essential, dissolve the impact of contradictions with a sense of humor, and his seemingly paradoxical arrangement of graphic, linguistic and spatial elements allows an alternative logic for the interpretation of things. Through subversive approaches, the artist immerses his audience in incredible fun as they decipher his witty works.
1986年生於臺灣南投,臺北藝術大學藝術跨領域研究所畢業。作品多以繪畫、錄像、裝置與行為等複合形式,表達自身的生命經驗與大歷史之間一種缺憾或匱乏的關係,如個人記憶與冷戰以及自身處境等問題,以「缺」顯化既定的歷史難題,以創傷與缺憾支撐繁花般的隱喻為其創作特質,試圖把「存有」的概念推往現實與在地的修正,尋思出一種主體的敘事。曾獲台北美術獎優選獎。
Yu-Ping Kuo was born in 1986 in Nantou, Taiwan, and she received her master’s degree in trans-disciplinary arts from Taipei National University of Arts. Kuo’s art practice includes a diverse range of genres, including painting, video, installation, and performance. She uses art to express the missing elements or insufficiencies between her own experiences in life and what is considered Big History, including issues involving her personal memories, the Cold War, and the circumstances she encounters. Using the notion of “missing or lacking” to bring forth already determined historical predicaments, Kuo uses trauma and disappointments to support a medley of metaphors, which has become a notable feature in her artworks. She seeks to push or correct “existing” concepts, in order for them to be more aligned with reality and the local mentality. Through her endeavors, she searches for a subjective narrative. Kuo is a recipient of an honorable mention prize for the Taipei Art Awards.

During the stay in France, her creation focuses on how to represent between “game/event” the forever lost objects and on how to foreground the persistent eternity of infinite ephemerality. After returning to Taiwan, Chang works as both curator and artist, adopting a dual perspective to reflect upon the possibilities of a mutual symbiosis between creative conception and curatorial practice while exploring ways to prompt creative thought in common and potential, multi-directional connections in various disciplines.

She is currently a professor at the Department of Arts and Design, National Tsing Hua University. Shieh is known for her visual style and aesthetic vocabulary featuring a female body image constructed with muscular structure and distinctively pronounced linear expression. Intermixing wiping and shading of charcoal drawing with expressive and elusive oil painting, Shieh’s work surfaces as painterly drawings or drawing-like paintings mixed with distinctively personal symbols and metaphors. Her work voices her visual language of the “chora,” which carries her life and memory stemming from the context of representation, derivation and différance.
1973年生於臺灣臺北,臺南藝術大學藝術創作與理論研究所博士。創作媒介主要透過錄影、計畫型身體行動以及書寫等形式,關注歷史與諸眾、空間與生命政治的議題。他以身體作為承載觀念的「界面」,從思考藝術的主體性與創作表現方式,逐漸趨向至肉身力行,並以實際行動繪製出一張自我的政治地圖,體現從身體開始到與大地之間的連結關係,其作品就像是以雙足走踏出來的地誌書寫,耙梳著田野及遺址調查,進行另類的創作。
Born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1973, Jun-Honn Kao holds a PhD in Art Creation and Theory from Tainan National University of the Arts. His art practice mainly focuses on issues about history, the multitude, space and life politics through video art, project-based physical practice, and writing. Using body as an “interface” to convey the conceptual, his art stems from his thinking about artistic subjectivity and creative expression before gradually converting it into physical practice, in which he outlines a political map of the self with physical actions that embody the connections between body and land. His works resemble topographical writings inscribed with his travels, investigating fields and ruins and forming an alternative approach of art-making.
