Artist
CHEN TING-JUNG
|
Chen Ting-Jung, born in 1985 in Taipei, Taiwan, now lives and works in Taipei and Vienna. She graduated with a diploma in Fine Arts at Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien in 2018; a BFA in Fine Arts at HFBK Hamburg in 2015; and a BA in Philosophy at National Taiwan University in 2009. Her artistic practice concerns historiography and cultural-political semiotics, with a special focus on collective memories, appropriation, empowerment processes, and political identity. By reproducing artifacts of the cultural industry, representing ideologies, and showing their relationships to human beings, the artist explores the transformation of identity and turns the overlapping, mingling cultures into a spatial atlas.
Her solo exhibitions include: This Is A Complex Sentence., Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, 2022; Wind Arrows On A Corner Side, Digital Art Center, Taipei, 2022; Harmonielehre, TheCube Project Space, Taipei, 2021; and Keep me close to you, with Hui Ye, Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna, 2018. Selected group exhibitions include: Challenging Orders, Vienna Art Week, Vienna, 2022; Schindler House: 100 Years in the Making, MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles, 2022; Nostalgia Is a Waving Flag: Taiwan and Hong-Kong Video Art Exhibition, Hong-Gah Museum, Taipei, 2022; Foams, Live Forever Foundation, Taichung, 2022; Final Projects: Group XLIX, MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles, 2020; Sisyphus Ver. 20.18, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung, 2018; and Double Façade: Multiple Ways to Encounter the Other, Koganecho AMC, Yokohama, 2017. She will have her solo exhibition at Gallery Vacancy in 2023. Chen Ting-Jung has been awarded various prizes, scholarships, and fellowships. She is the recipient of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, 2023; the Fostering Prize for Fine Arts of City Vienna, 2022; the Visual Arts Scholarship from the Federal Chancellery of Austria, 2020; the Visual Arts Grant from the National Culture and Arts Foundation of Taiwan, 2020; the MAK-Schindler Scholarship, 2019; the Kunsthalle Wien Prize, 2018; the Koganecho Bazaar Residency Fellowship, 2017; and the Judges’ Award of the Taipei Art Awards, 2015. Her work has been published by Taipei Fine Arts Museum (This Is A Complex Sentence., 2022) and Kunsthalle Wien (Ting-Jung Chen. You Are the Only One I Care About (whisper), 2022).
