Art Activist in Residence (I) : Taiwan Artist Tang Huang-Chen
by Woofer Ten
Location: Woofer Ten
Artist(s): TANG Huang-Chen
Date: 3 Apr - 3 Apr 2011

This is an artist-in-residence program which encourages artists to share ideas on social awareness and cultural movement issues in Asian cities. The involved artist will take residence in Shanghai Street for a month, and based on her experience with the community, she will respond with art actions in the forms of discussion and workshop.

In April, we have invited a Taiwan art activist Tang Huang-Chen to be stationed in Woofer Ten. Tang is one of the few Taiwan artists who keeps using performance art as her sole creative medium. For a long time, she's been concerned with the evolution of art and cultural ecology in Taiwan. In 1997, she launched the "Champaign for Huashan Creative Park" from an alcohol factory that had been deserted for 10 years. In 2008, she initiated another cultural movement "Plant Art Act", which united cultural developments with ecology concepts. In 2009, she organised "Art Creators Amateur/Freelancer Trade Union" which got involved in the union's mechanism with the identity of an artist group, so as to evaluate the relationship between art production and division of labor in contemporary society. In Feb 2011, the "Art Creators Trade Union" was established.

At this residence period, Tang will start a project called "Seeking Cracks in City - From Taipei to Hong Kong". The outcome will be presented in the form of a performance on 28th this month.
