She Says, Her Story
Contemporary Women Artists from Taiwan

November 5 – December 19, 2021

She Says, Her Story: Contemporary Women Artists from Taiwan, curated by Yu-Chuan Tseng, is an exhibition about “her stories,” multidimensional narratives that lie between past and present, myth and reality. Wen-Jen Deng weaves together migratory maps that explore the intersection of history, myth, and legend. Ping-Yu Pan creates an installation of “family recipes” that embody culture and mythical archetypes. Ya-Lan Yu employs woodcuts to create indelible impressions of her fleeting memories of Madame Chung. I-Chun Chen uses video animations to investigate the real and imagined life of Wang Shih. Jui-Hung NI creates colorful light boxes to explore the intersection between mythical Chinese fairies and women of the internet. Yi-Hsin Tzeng adopts the classical technique of cun (wrinkles) to show how landscapes emerge from the crevices of our memories and imagination. Collectively, six women artists from Taiwan explore the intervals between myth, reality, and imagination.
