Wu Chi-Tsung studio Presents an Exhibition ‘Beyond the Now, Away from Here’ for resident artist Saverio Tonoli
薩維里奧・托諾利與吳季璁合作展覽《易時易地》

Work of Saverio Tonoli in Taipei. Using the hemp paper of Fenko Catalysis Chamber, photo credit: Sylvia Lee and Saverio Tonoli Opening Party: Jan 17, 8:30 pm – midnight Public Open: Jan 17 – Jan 19 Venue: No. 34, Ln. 223, Sec. 3, Chongqing N. Rd., Datong Dist, Taipei City 103 (Wu Chi-Tsung Studio)Paper & Conservation Consultancy: Fenko Catalysis Chamber Wu Chi-Tsung Studio is delighted to present “Beyond the Now, Away from Here”, a collaboration between our Artist-in-Residence Saverio Tonoli and Wu Chi-Tsung. In the exhibition, Saverio will be showing his new artworks created during the three-month residency. The title pays tribute to the shared interest of the two artists that merges the aesthetics of the East and the West and reinterprets traditional and contemporary art forms. “What if art came into being differently…?” The exhibition allows the audiences to rethink the nature of materials such as Xuan paper, ink, fresco and cyanotype, to consider its origin, and to discover the possibilities of fusing styles and cultures. Differ from typical white-cube exhibition spaces, the exhibition takes place at Wu Chi-Tsung studio where both artists work. Sketches, materials and artworks are scattered around the studio from the ground floor to the rooftop providing a vertical journey that shows the artists’ experiment and working process to the public. The exhibition marks the first artist residency program hosted by an artist studio in Taiwan. Wu Chi-Tsung introduces that ‘Taiwan is an ideal entrance to east Asia for international artists and audiences because it combines multiple cultural influences of the region while being easily accessed. Moreover, as an artist studio, we tend to possess higher flexibility in hosting another artist. I hope that it could open up more possibilities and contribute to the diversity of the art world in Taiwan’. During his residency, Saverio has been working on his poetic imagery between painting and sculptures, testing local Xuan papers, with the expertise of Fenko Catalysis Chamber, by generating comprehensive solutions to the relationship between Tonoli’s needs and exclusive preservation paper materials for storing protection. Along with the creation of special plasters for his fresco paintings….

Critique on Galarie Magazine: 9 Must-See Artworks in Art Basel’s New Meridians Sector in Miami Beach
《畫廊》雜誌評論:巴塞爾邁阿密展會「藝匯經線」展區9件不容錯過的藝術佳作

9 Must-See Artworks in Art Basel’s New Meridians Sector in Miami Beach Dedicated to monumental, museum-worthy installations, videos, and paintings, the inaugural Meridians section is not to be missed by PAUL LASTER NOVEMBER 29, 2019 Cyano-Collage 064, 300 x 600 cm, presented in Art Basel Miami Fair Art fairs need to continuously stay fresh, even Art Basel in Miami Beach, which has a reputation for being the art world’s favorite party. Looking to add a bit of zest to its exhibition program, this year the fair is inaugurating its new Meridians sector to present large-scale works and performances in the refurbished Miami Beach Convention Center’s 60,000 square-foot Grand Ballroom. “From what I’ve observed in the past, the curatorial and museum crowd has gotten tired of coming to Miami for only booth presentations, but by bringing more of a curatorial edge to it, I’m hearing that curators are more excited to attend this year,” Ben Strauss-Malcolm, a director at Pace, which has two artists—Adam Pendleton and Fred Wilson—in the show, tells Galerie. Presenting 34 large-scale sculptures, paintings, installations, performances, and film and video projections by an international group of established and emerging artists, the projects were chosen by a selection committee and have been organized by the show’s curator, Magalí Arriola, the director of Mexico City’s Museo Tamayo. With a focus on artists and works from the Americas—although its somewhat broader in this initial year because not as many galleries applied—the show addresses issue of race, gender and immigration, which are topics that are floating around the greater art world.“Many of the works are content-loaded, which is an exciting part of it,” Arriola shared by phone from Miami, where she was already working on the installation. “I’m happy with the space and layout and the individual projects. I believe these bigger works give viewers a chance to grasp what’s behind the artists’ proposals. There are overarching themes that echo between the varied works, which makes the whole section quite compelling.” Chi-Tsung Wu’s Cyano-Collage 064Sean Kelly To create this sublime blue mountainous landscape, artist Chi-Tsung Wu employs age-old methods in the most innovative of ways, combining a…
