Gihak ArtLab Artist Talk｜Chen Yu-Jung
The Rhyme of Forms
During Chen Yu-Jung's residency in Hualien, he hopes to find a place to stay in the sun and observes the flow of shadows and light in nature. In the rhythm of the flow of light, the body intervenes in the space, awakens the imprints of the hidden mountains and rivers in the memory, and picks up the scenery that once held the soul. After a short gaze and listening, the wind will echo in the mountain with a continuous whisper.
There will be an live performance of about 20-30 minutes during the talk. Chen will perform with the audio and video he collected in the Hualien area during this period of time. He will also share the experience and result of this residency program, as well as talking about his past experience in cross-disciplinary creation.

Chen Yu-Jung
Chen Yu-Jung was born in Tainan, Taiwan. He holds a MFA in Institute of Music from National Chiao Tung University, and he majored in multimedia composition. His artworks mainly focus on the contemporary composition, performance art, experimental improvisation, and mixed media installations. Now he is enrolled Ph.D. in Art Creation and Theory from Tainan National University of Art.
Most of Chen’s recent artworks spring from the space, individual emotion and the experiences involved in such. Currently, his focus is on the interaction of visual and sound associated with space. His artworks often include ready-made objects, which become part of a self-emotional narrative. In the process of developing works, he used a lot of materials through the collection and analysis as a basis for the concept of creation.
