YANG Chi-Chuan | 楊季涓

Yang Chi-Chuan was born in Taipei in 1985. After graduating from National Taiwan University of Arts’ Department of Sculpture in 2007, she then began studying at the National School of Fine Arts in France (École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts). She was trained in sculpture and new media art studios and participated in exhibitions and activities designed for young artists in Paris, while also working as administrative assistant for French artists. She received the National Diploma in Visual Arts (Diplôme National d'Arts Plastiques) in 2011. During her time in France, she attempted to seek out a new reference model for her customary genre of sculpture, and at the same time, she also paid special attention to her physical state of being and experiences of historical and cultural differences. Upon her return to Taiwan, she began seeing text-based narratives as extensions of sculptures, attempting to use cultural, temporal differences to re-narrative history, groups, or individuals’ unique senses of existence. Through incorporating sculptures with words, more in-depth experiences and perceptions are produced. Small, delicate perceptual sensations sparked by the existence of an art form in a particular space has been the focus of her art lately, and from the interconnected relationships between life’s various aspects, environment, and time, attempts are made to work with the hidden associations that are inevitably formed, which are then blended with personal experiences and transformed into art. With the impacts generated focused on, formation of a new perceptual order is attempted, resulting in artworks that are accompanied by perceptions beyond the sense of seeing. 楊季涓，1985年出生於台北，2007年畢業於國立台灣藝術大學雕塑學系，隨後進入法國國立巴黎高等藝術學院，期間於雕塑與新媒體藝術工作室學習，參與巴黎當地年輕藝術家為主的展覽及活動，以及法籍藝術家執行助理，於2011年獲得法國國家高等造型藝術文憑。旅法期間試圖將自己習以為常的雕塑尋找一個新的參照形式，同時關心於身體處境與歷史文化的差異或轉敘，返國後將文字敘事視為雕塑的延伸概念，試圖通過文化、時間的差異個體去轉敘關於過去歷史、群體或個體中的特殊存在性質，藉由雕塑與文字的配合得到更深層的經驗感受。近期關注造型物件存在於環境空間中所引發的細微身體感知，由這些生活種種與環境及時間的相互關係中，試著附和那些物理的必然性所造成的感受，再揉合上個人經驗轉化於造型物上，強調其中的影響並企圖生產出新的感受秩序，於是，作品所展現的，往往是伴隨而來——非視覺的感知。
