《小品系列》參展洛杉磯郡藝術博物館群展《Ink Dreams》

Still Life 012 – Buttercup Tree was recently donated to Los Angeles County Museum of Art by Ink Foundation and was showcased in the group exhibition INK Dreams of the museum.  The exhibition featured works from the ink collection of French collectors and philanthropists Gerard Cognie and Dora Cognie, who have lived in Switzerland for nearly 20 years.  In the name of the Ink Foundation, the couple have generously donated nearly 400 works to LACMA, a vast collection of ink-related artworks that will shift the direction of the research on contemporary Chinese art at the museum.  The Ink Foundation’s research is not limited to Chinese art, but focuses on the spirit of ink painting, and includes international contemporary artworks into it. Artists in this collection includes Chinese artists Bing Yi, Gu Wenda, Li Huasheng, Lin Tianmiao, Liu Dan, Liu Guosong, Xu Bing, and Zheng Chongbin, as well as Japanese, Korean, and international artists such as Park Seo-Bo, Lee U-fan, and Hiroshi Sugimoto, Osamu Suzuki, Kitamura Junko, Idris Khan, Shirazeh Houshiary, Ophelie Asch, Irma Blank, and many others. The works in the collection range from calligraphy to ink paintings, sculpture, prints, and installation works, and Wu Chi-Tsung’s Still Life Series is the only video installation in the collection. LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States, with seven galleries and a collection of more than 135,000 objects covering modern and contemporary art, ancient art, American art, Asian art, European art, and more. The Museum is committed to drawing inspiration from the region’s rich cultural heritage and diverse populations, and to sharing a diverse and global-minded art history. 《小品之十二 彎子木》則是由來自瑞士的Ink  Foundation捐獻給洛杉磯郡藝術博物館(LACMA),並於群展《INK Dreams》中展出。 《INK Dreams》展覽呈現居於瑞士的法國收藏家與慈善家Gerard Cognie 和Dora Cognie近20年來的水墨藏品。The Cognies以Ink Foundation為名,慷慨捐贈了近400件作品給予LACMA,這批大量的水墨藏品將會改變美術館的當代中國藝術研究方向。Ink Foundation的關注不局限於中國,而是以水墨精神為主,將國際當代的藝術品都納入典藏範疇,收藏藝術家作品包括華人藝術家冰逸、古文達、李華生、林天苗、劉丹、劉國松、徐冰、鄭重賓,日韓與國際藝術家包括朴栖甫(Park Seo-Bo)、李禹煥、杉本博司、鈴木藏、Kitamura Junko、Idris Khan、Shirazeh Houshiary、Ophelie Asch、Irma Blank等。典藏作品自書法到紙本水墨、雕塑、版畫、裝置作品皆有涉獵,而吳季璁的《小品》是唯一一件錄像藏品。 洛杉磯郡藝術博物館是美國西部最大的藝術博物館,共有7座展館,收藏逾13.5萬件藏品,涵蓋現當代藝術、古代藝術、美洲藝術、亞洲藝術、歐洲藝術等。美術館致力於從該地區豐富的文化遺產和多樣化的人口中汲取靈感、分享多元而全球化的藝術史。

Wu Chi-Tsung’s Solo Exhibition Jing-atmospheres at Sean Kelly New York
美國首次個展《境》於尚凱利畫廊

jing-atmospheresDates November 5 – December 18, 2021Opening Reception Thursday, November 4, 6-8pm Sean Kelly is delighted to present jing-atmospheres, Wu Chi-Tsung’s first solo exhibition in the gallery and indeed the United States. Chi-Tsung’s innovative body of work encompasses a broad range of media including photography, video, installation, and painting, in which he combines traditional and contemporary forms and methodologies to explore perceptions of the physical and natural worlds. This exhibition features new Cyano-Collages, videos, and an immersive film installation. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, November 4 from 6-8pm, the artist will be present at the gallery. Wu Chi-Tsung was trained from an early age in the traditions of Chinese calligraphy, Chinese ink painting, watercolor, and drawing, and worked in these time-honored idioms for many years. While those practices still inform his process, Chi-Tsung’s current work seeks to understand how media and technology are manipulated to represent our relationship to the world. In the main gallery, there are new iterations of his Cyano-Collage series, in which he connects Eastern and Western culture and art to integrate traditional aesthetics within a striking contemporary language. His Cyano-Collages replace the traditional ink and brush used in Chinese shan shui paintings –literally, “mountain-water-pictures”—with experimental photography to reinvigorate the traditional landscape language. To create these stunning images, Chi-Tsung prepares hundreds of cyanotype photographic papers—Xuan paper treated with a photosensitive coating—that are crumpled, exposed to sunlight, and then mounted onto aluminum, creating a spectrum of tonalities. The results are collaged images that resemble the mountainous landscapes often found in Chinese shan shui paintings, but which are produced using completely a contemporary process. Utilizing video, installation, and photography, Wu Chi-Tsung discovered in these new media compelling conceptual stratagems that spurred new and dynamic approaches to image making. Featured in the main gallery are two new films from Wu Chi-Tsung’s Still Life series, that conceptually translate motifs of traditional cut-branch flower painting into time-based moving images. Describing these works, Chi-Tsung stated that they are inspired, “by a cherished memory of painting; however, the mourning over this lost memory might not be limited to painting only. Some nameless emotions…

Seeing Through Light: Wu Chi-Tsung Solo Exhibition Curated by Chia Chi Jason Wang Once during nightfall, sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) held a lamp and led art critic Paul Gsell (1870-1947) to see an ancient Greek statue of Venus in the dark. With the dim lamplight, the sculptor turned the movable platform that held the statue, and made the critic look closely at the torso of Venus, illuminating the complex and intricate projections and depressions. This way, Rodin helped Gsell to discover the beauty of flesh represented by artists in the Classical period.[1] During his youth, Wu Chi-Tsung was still exploring creative possibilities, and had also seen himself through light. In the dark, he replaced paintbrush with a flashlight, and pointed it at his…

Solo exhibition Exposé opening on Mar 25 at Galerie du Monde
個展《Exposé 現》將於3月25日開幕

Opening  Mar 24, 6 ~ 8 p.m., 2021Public Days  Mar 25 ~ Jun 13Zoom Talk  Mar 31, 8 p.m. HKTVenue  Galerie du Monde, 108 Ruttonjee Centre, 11 Duddell Street, Central, Hong Kong HONG KONG – Galerie du Monde is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Wu Chi-Tsung: Exposé, curated by Hong Kong based Ying Kwok. Wu’s work explores light and time, and ways to recreate traditional art forms and aesthetics without losing the spirit. In Exposé, curator Kwok leads us on a journey to discover the correlation between Wu’s Cyano-Collage series and these concepts. Born in Taipei in 1981, Wu received his BFA in 2004 from the Taipei National University of the Arts, where his training from an early age in the practices of Chinese calligraphy, ink painting, watercolor and drawing were furthered. After decades of creating experimental ink paintings, Wu turned to photography, video and installations to apply his aesthetics in classical landscapes. Wu created his first Cyano-Collage in 2015, a further development of the earlier Wrinkled Texture series which he started in 2012. Both series explore the process of “recording light” on Xuan paper (Chinese rice paper). From Wrinkled Texture to Cyano-Collage, Wu showed he could somehow manipulate the unpredictable, creating beautiful illustrations of the relationship between man and nature. Wu began the Wrinkled Texture series with the intention to reinterpret the traditional Texturing method (Cun Fa) of Chinese landscape painting. Instead of using ink and brush, Wu utilizes a classical photographic technique – Cyanotype, to treat his Textures. Wu first soaks the Xuan paper with a photosensitive solution, and then exposes them to sunlight for 30 minutes, while at the same time crumbling and shaping the paper into various forms and wrinkles. This exposure process is random and uncontrollable as the light intensity and the sun’s angle is different every day, at every hour. The paper is then flattened and washed in a water tank in the studio for an hour to fixate the exposed textures. This is the most intriguing part of the entire process, as it is the moment when Wu sees the outcome – the different…

Wu Chi-Tsung Opens a New Studio in Saigon, Vietnam
吳季璁新工作室於越南西貢成立

Recently, Wu Chi-Tsung has set up a new studio in collaboration with Vietnamese artist Cam Xanh in Saigon, Vietnam as a significant step of his internationally-minded exploration.  Speaking of his third studio after Taipei and Berlin, Wu Chi-Tsung says, ‘I’m curious about the early stage of an art world, such as in Vietnam, everything happens and develops rapidly. I am grateful to witness and be part of this great historical moment as a member of this intimate and energetic community.’ Chi-Tsung met Cam Xanh in Korea in 2016 on the Asia Young 36 exhibition and was later invited by her for an artist residency in MoT+++ which she co-founded. During the residency, the space was presented as superimposition and coincidence of the two sites – Wu Chi-Tsung’s studio and a public art space – that opens to the public and enable the viewers to see the working progress. This year, inspired by this experience, Wu Chi-Tsung’s Taipei Studio managed a residency program for Italian artist Saverio Tonoli and conducted their collaborated event. Lately, Saverio Toloni is now resides at A. Farm Saigon, an international artist-in-residency space established by Cam Xanh and run by MoT+++ and San Art teams.

Last year, Wu Chi-Tsung shot new Still Life Series in Vietnam inspired by local culture and nature. Among them, the Still Life 012 — Buttercup tree was collected by the Nguyen Art Foundation. Wu Chi-Tsung’s Wire V is now on view in the group exhibition Password 0~1 at the studio.

Farm繼續其亞洲駐村計畫。A. Farm亦是Cam Xanh主持的藝術空間,並由MoT+++與San Art團隊經營。 Wu Chi-Tsung and Cam Xanh with MoT+++ team at Wu Chi-Tsung studio in Taipei吳季璁、Cam Xanh與其他友人於台北工作室 此外,越南藝術中的後殖民批判與關於文化主體的思考令吳季璁深有共鳴。去年,他受當地文化與自然的啟發,在此拍攝了《小品系列》的新作,其中,《小品之十二 彎子木》於越南獨立藝術收藏機構Nguyen Foundation典藏。 吳季璁作品《鐵絲網五》現於越南工作室群展《Password 0~1》中展出。由於疫情發展持續變化,參觀請聯絡[email protected] 以獲取相關資訊並進行預約,亦可至+1 Trash瀏覽MoT+++的更多作品。

Group exhibition 3E14 in Galerie du Monde, Hong Kong
世界畫廊群展《3E14》於香港開幕

Cyano-Collage 077 is on display in Galerie du Monde, Hong Kong Date Mar 5 – Apr 18, 2020Artists Fong Chung-Ray, Michael Müller, Wesley Tongson, Juan Uslé, Wang Gongyi, Wu Chi-Tsung, Stella ZhangArt Basel Online Viewing Room: Mar 18 – 25, 2020,click here to view Venue 108 Ruttonjee Centre, 11 Duddell Street, Central, Hong Kong The exhibition showcases a diverse group of seven abstract artists, in exploration of the artistic dialogue between the East and the West in the postwar era and the growing acuteness of cross-cultural exchange. Covering multiple generations from the 1960s to the present, Galerie du Monde presents the exchange between Euro-American abstraction and East Asian art and philosophy, featuring the pioneer ink artist from Taiwan’s Fifth Moon Group – Fong Chung-Ray, lyrical abstract painters – Juan Uslé from Spain and Wang Gongyi from China; conceptual artists – Michael Müller from Germany and Stella Zhang from China; and young Taiwanese multimedia artist – Wu Chi-Tsung. This time, Chi-Tsung’s most recent exploration of the Cyano-Collage Series, the Cyano-Collage 77, will be debuted, in which he challenged himself again to render the composition in round. Embracing the aesthetics of both traditional Chinese still life painting and the Tondo (circular art) that peaked in 15th Century Renaissance Italy, it adventurously broadened the possibilities of the series with its deft interpretation of the East-West nexus. Besides, the Cyano-Collage 77  represented by Galerie du Monde is also on view at Art Basel Hong Kong 2020 Online Viewing Room till Mar 25. 日期  2020年3月5日至4月18日參展藝術家 馮鐘睿、邁克爾・穆勒、唐家偉、胡安・烏斯雷、王公懿、吳季璁、張爽巴塞爾藝術展網上展廳: 2020年3月18日至25日,點擊進入 地點  香港中環都爹利街11號律敦治中心108號 展覽將呈現七位抽象藝術家的作品,探索東西方戰後藝術的交流、融合與發展。展出藝術家風格各異,活躍時期從二十世紀六十年代至今不等,其中包括台灣五月畫會先鋒水墨藝術家馮鐘睿,兩位抒情抽象派畫家——西班牙藝術家胡安・烏斯雷與中國藝術家王公懿; 兩位概念藝術家——來自德國的邁克爾・穆勒和來自中國的張爽; 以及台灣年輕的新媒體藝術家吳季璁等。 此次,吳季璁新作《氰山集之七十七》將首次展出。圓形構圖挑戰了藝術家已有的創作語言,進而將東方美學與15世紀意大利文藝復興時期盛行一時的「Tondo」(圓形畫)相結合,為《氰山集系列》在消弭時代限制、融合東西美學上的探索拓展了新的可能性。 同時,《氰山集之七十七》由世界畫廊代理,於巴塞爾藝術展網上展廳展出,為各地觀眾提供身臨其境的觀看體驗,線上展覽從即日起開放至3月25日。

beyond the now, away from here

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….

photo credit: Sylvia Lee   LIGHT INTERDICTION, Kunstfest Weimar 2019 Dates | Sep 5-7, 2019 Curator | Chun-Chi Wang Preview | Sep 5, 6 P.M. Artist talk | Sep 7, 13:30 P.M. 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…

This time, Wu Chi-Tsung will be cooperate with the UP Gallery, one of the rare galleries in Taiwan that is solely dedicated to exhibiting photography and moving image works, presenting his Cyano-Collage Series, Still Life Series and Wrinkled Texture Series. Developed from the Wrinkled Texture Series, the Cyano-Collage Series has become one of the most representative series of the artist. An innovative language of photography is developed within the artwork that combines the cyanotype technique, the collage method, as well as the wrinkled texture technique from traditional landscape painting and the aesthetics thereof. Wu Chi-Tsung’s long-lasting exploration in art could be reflected here, that he seeks the way to accommodate both the spiritual and nostalgic landscapes and the scientific and mechanical recording media, and further let them question, reinforce, and develop each other. The Still Life Series place more weight on the universality of traditional beauty, as well as how it is eternally unpredictable and uncertain. Upon the melancholy grounding color, what is recorded is exactly the artist’s mixture feeling of fascination and helplessness towards the beauty. We look forward to welcoming you at Booth D12 at Photo London. We will also keep you updated via Wu Chi-Tsung’s Instagram accounts and public website.     吳季璁《氰山集》系列、《皴法習作》系列與新作《小品之十二-彎子木》將於今年Photo London攝影藝術博覽會展出。   Photo London|絕版影像館|D12 貴賓預展|5/15 公眾展期|5/16-19 展覽地點|倫敦薩默塞特府(Somerset House)Strand, London WC2R 1LA, England 參展藝術家|吳季璁、陳榮輝   吳季璁的多件影像作品將參加今年五月的Photo London攝影藝術博覽會,與國際觀眾分享藝術家對於影像媒介的思考與對於影像美學的探索。今年是Photo London攝影藝術博覽會創辦的第五年,它已成為世界上最值得關注的主要專注於攝影媒材的藝術博覽會之一。 本次吳季璁很榮幸與台灣專注攝影與影像作品的藝廊絕版影像館合作,於D12展位呈現其《皴法習作系列》、《氰山集系列》與《小品系列》等作品。其中,《氰山集系列》發展自《皴法習作》,是吳季璁持續發展的系列作品之一,藝術家將藍曬與拼貼等現代技術與藝術手段創造性地嫁接至傳統東方山水意象和皴法美學之中。這組作品反映了吳季璁長期以來的思考與關注方向,即精神性的傳統文人風景如何與科學化、機械性的記錄媒材共存、相互解讀與拓展。《小品系列》則在此基礎上格外側重傳達傳統美之不可控與不可期,甚或消逝。藝術家在憂鬱底色之上試圖記錄的正是這種陶醉著迷卻又無可奈何的交雜感觸。 我們誠邀您光臨這場盛會,也歡迎您關注持續關注吳季璁的社交媒體與絕版影像館的Artsy頁面獲取相關信息。     Installation View 展覽現場
