蔡佩桂

Pei-Kuei Tsai is Associate Professor and the current director of Graduate Institute of Transdisciplinary Art, National Kaohsiung Normal University; PhD in History of Art, the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London.

Art is seen as a way to refine thinking and practice, and a technology of articulation between people and between people and things. Curating, writing, and education are her methods.

She currently works on curatorial projects involving practical and theoretical outlooks, such as an educational art project with Cijin Junior High School and ‘The Popping City’ project about Kaohsiung city and its virtual version. Her curated exhibition includes: the 2019 exhibition ‘The Big Popping City: A Technical Guide for a Great City’ held at 8 places in Kaohsiung, and the 2016 exhibition ‘Dream Team of Kaohsiung Awards and Its Four Challenges’, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, the 2014 exhibition ‘The Production of Artists: the Technologies of Young Artists from Kaohsiung’, and the 2011 project ‘Non-Sleep in Non-Home: Art Living in a Historical Hotel’, Tainan.
