陳韋綸

Born in Daya, Taichung, in 1991, Chen Wei-Lun holds an M.F.A. from the Department of New Media Art, Taipei National University of the Arts. During his M.F.A. study, Chen made a shift from individual creation to art history studies and curatorial practices with a long-term emphasis on image theories, media, and popular culture. Recently, he endeavors to treat Taiwan as the base for video art studies, depicting trajectories of video art development in the dynamic relationship of global and local with a reference to the contexts of politics, media, and culture in Taiwan in the 1980s. Chen partook in “Curators’ Intensive Taipei 19: International Conference and Workshops” co-organized by the National Culture and Arts Foundation (NCAF) and the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (2019) and the Open Curatorial School “The Seven Relations in Exhibition-Making and Beyond” organized by Taipei Contemporary Art Center (2015). His critiques and essays can be seen on ARTalks.

Chen’s curatorial works include “Repeat, Reverse and Rubbing” (2019, Taipei City Arts Promotion Office), “Division of Reality - 2017 Outstanding Art Prize Exhibition” (2017, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts), “Media Archeology: Indescribable Mark of Life” (co-curated with Lin Yu-Hsuan, 2017, Yo-Chang Art Museum), and “Xanadu Project II: A Place Without Boundaries” (co-curated with Tsang Pak-Ho and Xiao Kai-Wen, 2016, Kuandu & Bali). Also, Chen was funded by NCAF’s “Curator’s Incubator Program @ Museums” in 2020 with “Just what is it that makes today’s image so different, so appealing?”, which is exhibited at Hong-gah Museum in May 2021.
