Venue |E-Werk,AM KIRSCHBERG 4, 99423, Weimar, Germany   In cooperation with the Idolon studio headed by the Taiwanese curator Chun-chi WANG, the Kunstfest Weimar presents four installations that highlight the innovative power and relevance of Taiwan’s current art and performance scene. The first piece «E-Werk Weimar No. 1» by the artist TAO Ya-Lun confronts the viewer with an unsettling 3D borderline experience. His works often feature diverse forms which can range from video, sound and kinetic installations to light shows and shadow play. Most of his pieces are based on virtual reality and adapted to the specific venue where they are presented. Fujui WANG’s sound installation «Hollow Noise» is comprised of several directional loud speakers which produce carefully focused ultrasonic waves. His method creates the impression of a sonic wind blowing from various directions. The result is an absolutely new and surprising acoustic experience. On the stage of the E-Werk, WU Chi-Tsung presents the European premiere of his light installation «DUST». By means of optical tricks, the artist reflects normal ambient dust through the light of a projector, thereby making it visible to the naked eye. The «air» suddenly gains a structure of its own. The performance in this production is the work of the Taipeh-Paris resident artist, performer and musician Liping TING. «Poésie d’action» is how she describes her multidisciplinary approach. She will enliven the installation environment in the two halls of the E-Werk with a three-hour-long performance.   On September 7th, the artist will be delivering an artist talk on ‘The crossover between visual art and performance art in Taiwan’ with Thomas Bruns, manager of the KNM Berlin, and Liping Ting, Taiwan-born artist on performance art, and with curator Chun-Chi Wang as moderator.   For tickets and more visiting information, please click here     photo credit: Sylvia Lee   2019威瑪藝術節,《光之禁區》 日期 | 2019年9月5-7日 策展人 | 王俊琪 預展 | 9月5日晚6時 藝術家對談 | 9月7日13時30分 地點 |E-Werk,AM KIRSCHBERG 4, 99423,威瑪,德國…

吳季璁個展《Lingering in Nature》,8/31-10/12,基森Giessen New Art Association,德國

New works of the Cyano-collage Series will be premiered  in ‘Lingering in Nature’   Lingering in Nature, Giessen New Art Association, Germany Dates|Aug 31 – Oct 12, 2019 (Opens every Saturday 2-5 P.M.) Curator | Andreas Walther Opening Reception | Aug 31, 6 P.M. Artist talk|Sep 1, 2 P.M. Venue|Licherstr, Nahrungsberg Ecke, 35394 Gießen, Germany   The work of Wu Chi-tsung (* 1981 in Taipei, lives and works in Taipei and Berlin) is multi-faceted. Early on taught in ink painting and calligraphy, then in his twenties in dealing with oil painting, media art and architecture, he still works today in various media. Although brush and paint are no longer found in his studio, he nevertheless feels most at home as a painter and retains the traditional arts as a strong reference for his work. Starting from there and working in video, installation, cyanography and other media, Wu creates subtle signs that cross the ages and build a bridge to the contemporary. For his exhibition in Gießen he will combine a selection of existing works with a photographic edition.       《氰山集系列》新作將於吳季璁個展《Lingering in Nature》展出   Lingering in Nature,基森新藝術協會,德國 日期 | 2019年8月31日至10月12日(每週六下午2至5時開放) 策展人 | 華安瑞 開幕酒會 | 8月31日晚6時 藝術家對談 | 9月1日下午2時 地點 | Licherstr, Nahrungsberg Ecke, 35394 基森市,德國   吳季璁(1981年生於台北,現工作、生活於台北與柏林)有著豐富的經歷與廣泛的探索。他從小接受傳統書畫訓練,在二十代轉向油畫、新媒體藝術與建築,至今仍橫跨不同媒材進行創作。儘管如今他的工作室中早已經難覓畫筆與顏料的蹤跡,他卻時刻以畫家的視角去思考藝術、從他生長其間的傳統藝術中汲取養分,並通過影像、裝置、氰版攝影等媒介將之轉化與表達。藉此,吳季璁創造了一座連結傳統與當代的橋樑,令其作品具有超越時間的美感與深意。本次展覽將展出吳季璁的系列攝影與影像作品。     Installation View 展覽現場     photo credit: Sylvia Lee
