“TCAC Screening Program” is a series of routine screening events organized by TCAC since 2014. The Screening Program monthly presents a selection of video works from different single artist/group, and it investigates specific concepts or issues in contemporary art and society.

This second section of screening presents three video works of “the Exercise Trilogy” by Chi Kai-yuan. The series includes “Octagonal Circle”, “Triangle Table” and “Blooming without Reasons.”

In most of Chi Kai-yuan’s works, the artist used objects as a kind of media to explore the specificity of site or the relational form between people, he made slight variations of daily objects to induce a larger impact at the scene. In Chi’s recent work “the Exercise Trilogy,” he expands the practice of objects into a kind of gesture to intervene a place; therefore, it draws out a new image of schema of the connection between body and space, individual and locality.
