Lives and works in Hualien, Taiwan
Chiu Chen-Hung’s works are primarily presented in the framework of installation and sculpture. Like conducting an archeological expedition, he is especially proficient in excavating remnants from bygone times and uninhabited space. He reimagines forsaken objects and derelict structures by transforming them into abstract forms suffused with memory and sentiment that obey an intimate logic of nostalgia.
Chiu received his MFA degree in plastic arts from the National Taiwan University of Arts in 2008. Recent notable exhibitions include Reflections upon Plants, Juming Museum, Taipei, Taiwan (2023); Here Is Where We Meet, Chiayi Art Museum, Chiayi, Taiwan (2023); New Taipei City Arts Festival, New Taipei City Art Museum Park, New Taipei City, Taiwan (2023); The Sovereign Asian Art Prize Finalists Exhibition, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hong Kong (2022); Underground Matters, Residential houses at Ho'ao Village, Matsu, Taiwan (2022); Embroidered Swallows Across Original Jungle, TKG+ Projects, Taipei, Taiwan (2021); The Secret South: From Cold War Perspective to Global South in Museum Collection,Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, Taiwan (2020); Asian Art Biennial: The Strangers From Beyond the Mountain and the Sea, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung, Taiwan (2019); Phototaxis, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany (2019); Island Tales: Taiwan and Australia, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, Taiwan (2019).
