Artist Spotlight: Idas Losin
Fluid Boundaries: Four Artists from the Pan-Austro-Nesian Arts Festival
[Transcript]
Hi, I’m Idas Losin. I am both Atayal and Truku.
It is a great honor for me to take part in this exhibition co-hosted by the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and the IA&A at Hillyer gallery. In the time of the pandemic, I hope that audience in the United States can feel the enthusiasm and joy of these island countries after seeing my work. These works are part of my “Island-Hoping” project, a project exploring Austronesian people and languages which I started in 2013.
I visited islands in the south Pacific ocean to find inspiration for these works. I’ve visited six islands so far. The exhibited pieces are some of my favorite works in the project. I hope the audience will enjoy them.
Finally, I would like to say although the whole world is still fighting against the virus, I believe people will overcome all this in the near future. Lokah! (“Cheer Up!” in Ataya language).
