ChihChung Chang 張致中

Chang regards the ocean as a reflection of the current Anthropocene civilization on land, using water as a medium to penetrate the inner spirit and outer material to reflect the transition, flow, and anti-subjective instability of his homeland Taiwan under the subtropical monsoon climate. His works combine multiple forms and media with keen craftsmanship, paying attention to those ever-changing environments of ships, islands, waters and ports, and exploring the universal experience, tension and gray areas between human, civilization and nature. His works won the first prize of the “Kaohsiung Awards”, been selected for the “Taoyuan International Art Award”, “Taipei Art Awards”, “Taishin Art Award” quarterly nominations, and have been collected by art museums and other institutions. He has been funded by domestic and foreign foundations and institutions, and commissioned by art and historical museums. His works have been exhibited in museums, galleries, biennales, art festivals, and film festivals worldwide.

Selected activities include: “Pan-Austro-Nesian Art Festival” (TW), “Biennale Jogja” (ID), “ARKO A&T Art Festival” (KR), “Jan van Eyck Academie” (NL) and “Ocean Space by TBA21” public program of the Korean Pavilion at Venice Biennale (IT).
