TKG+ is devoted to the promotion and support of the most interesting and significant contemporary art from the region, working with emerging artists and privileging experimentation in art across different media, from video and photography to installation and new media. In the current installment of Art Taipei 2012, TKG+ will feature the works of Wu Tien-Chang, Kao Chung-Li, Wang Yahui, Wu Chi-Tsung, and Chen Ching-Yuan.
Informed by changes in the social and political climate of Taiwan, Wu Tien-Chang will present Unforgettable Lover (2011) as he blurs fantasy and reality in his experimentation with digital manipulation. Kao Chung-Li, with the same focus, reviews images and texts in a self-reflective stance to understand history, politics, and local/global issues, in the context of the personal stories.
TKG+ will also launch the work of Wang Yahui, Wu Chi-Tsung, and Chen Ching-Yuan, as the artists contemplate the engagement of senses, memory, and mass, creating works that are immersed in the process and poetics of the everyday. Wang Yahui ponders the world as she watches the seasons, and collects dusts from her childhood home, remolding them into vivid objects of her memory. Wu Chi-Tsung devotes attention to the methods used in producing and interpreting images, with a focus on the physics of light. Chen Ching-Yuan is especially interested in the dynamics of “staggering,” the act of simultaneously losing and regaining one’s equilibrium, as Chen considers this in the form of bodies and balance.
