Pacific Breeze II
07 AUGUST 2021 - 26 SEPTEMBER 2021Notes
Yu-Chen’s central practice is drawing, allowing her to explore and meditate on mechanical and biological forms, and the ways in which their bodily borderlines blur and mutate. From these extemporisations, she then finds collaborative routes that take her work into the realms of fictional text, provoking the subsequent production of sculptural installation, performance, music, and film, in various combinations.
Yu-Chen has exhibited widely both in the UK and internationally. Her recent solo exhibitions include Yu-Chen Wang, Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art, Manchester (2016); Nostalgia for the Future, Yu-Chen Wang: An Introspective Retrospective, Taipei Fine Arts Museum (2016); Heart to Heart, Science and Industry Museum, Manchester (2016); This is the end…, Yeo Workshop, Singapore (2015). She was artist-in-residence at Taipei Artist Village (2019); Grand Union, Birmingham (2018); Metal, Liverpool (2017); Seoul Museum of Art (2017); Drawing Room, London (2016-17); Science and Industry Museum, Manchester (2015); Treasure Hill Artist Village, Taipei (2014); Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art, Manchester (2011).
