Through re-presentation and appropriation of existing images with deliberate artificiality, the artist \u201ccuts\u201d and \u201cpastes\u201d the reality to form an endlessly extending time and space in a loop.<\/p>\n<p>He aims at these fragments of daily life, sewing them together for a reproduction. The bodies and experiences of others become at the artist\u2019s own disposal and are thus transformed into indifferent and mechanical moving images dangling between reality and imagination. In Chen\u2019s works, actions taking place in a closed loop serve as a metaphor of social mechanism, where ritualized actions in various forms are suspended in a collective void.<\/p>\n<p>Up to date, Chen has held five solo exhibitions: The Unconscious Voyage (2008), The Extraordinary Ordinary (2011) , To Hell with Your Future (2011) ,The Still Point of the turning world (2017) and Midnight Black(2019).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group oeuvreCreditsRow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credits &amp; mentions<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<p>This project is kindly supported by Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1999,"menu_order":0,"template":"","edition":[20],"type_oeuvre":[28],"class_list":["post-2003","oeuvre","type-oeuvre","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oeuvre\/2003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oeuvre"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/oeuvre"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"edition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/edition?post=2003"},{"taxonomy":"type_oeuvre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/type_oeuvre?post=2003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
