Taiwan-a-go-go

Saw an amazing exhibition of work from Taipei, covering the last 100 years or so. I was quite surprised at how contemporary and bold the work is - everything from painting through to performance and installation work was bloody amazing. No photos allowed unfortunately, but I've tracked down a few of the artists on Google (in between being intermittently shut down by the Famous 4 (there are apparently only 4 servers going into/out of China, so monitoring can take place.

So before I forget - the artists I'm interested in finding out more about: Tsai-Tung Cheng (90's painter); Yung-Tsun Chang (80's mixed media + installation); Ming-Sheng Lee (90's installation + performance); Der-Cheng Lian (90's painter); Goang-Ming Yuan (90's video artist); Fu-Sheng Ku (60's action painter); Tehching Hsieh (70's + 80's performance - the 1 year guy).

Tsai-Tung Cheng.

Ming-Sheng Lee (I think this is his??)

Tehching Hsieh - this guy has undertaken a bunch of 'projects', all for 1 year duration. For example, he spent 1 year outdoors (no shelter, only a sleeping bag), 1 year locked in a cell (no TV, radio etc only food), 1 year tethered to someone he couldn't touch, and 1 year punching a time card every hour. Full on.

Goang-Ming Yuan (projections onto objects, which are truly beautiful).
