In just three years ART HK has positioned itself as a key fixture on the international art calendar. This year, ART HK is divided into three sections, Galleries section, Art Futures and Asia One, which is a brand new gallery feature section in 2011. Aki gallery is going to present the Chao-Liang Shen’s solo exhibition, STAGE, which features the unique Taiwanese tradition of traveling "truck theaters", at Booth 3D06, Asia One section.
Shen’s recent STAGE series, in which he documented a unique Taiwan entertainment culture in a surrealistic and colorful style of image, was exhibited in the 2008 Deagu Photo Biennale, Korea, and the 2009 GETXOPHOTO, Bilbao, Spain, and in a solo exhibition in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, New York, US, and Toronto, Canada. He is also invited at the 2010 Dali International Photography Exhibition, China, the 2010 Taiwan Biennale, the 2011 Contemporary Art Exhibition across the Strait in Beijing, China and Taichung, Taiwan, the 2011 Art Hong Kong, and the 2011 PHOTOQUAI, Paris, France. In December, 2010, the series won him the Honorable Mention of 2010 Taipei Art Award.
