”Considerate Creations: Chameleons” Contemporary Women Artists Show Opening
Back to Category Print this page

On view from March 17th to April 28th, 2017, the Taipei Cultural Center at TECO-NY is delighted to present a female group show, titled Considerate Creations: Chameleons. Curated by art manager I-Hua Lee of Taipei Artist Village, the exhibition implies that the hard work done behind the scenes allows art projects to successfully come to fruition. Videos, photographs and installations, all of which focus on the different roles of an artist’s life, are part of the exhibition. Besides discussing their many roles, the exhibition also addresses family issues such as marital and parental relations.

Considerate Creations: Chameleons is a sequel of Considerate Creations, which was presented in Taipei Artist Village in 2015. To expand the dialogue from Taiwan to New York, the new exhibition consists of two parts. The first part of Chameleons is taking place at the Taiwan Academy in New York featuring three New York-based female artists, including HU Nung-Hsin, CHIU Yu-Chen and WONG Kit-Yi. In June, the second half will consist of another three female Taiwanese artists and will be held at Gallery 456, New York.

Chameleon artists is a global phenomenon in the art world, and it speaks to a certain quality of this business. When administrators or other art professionals work as artists, everything involved in their job becomes as equally fascinating as their art. They provide a novel viewpoint on various issues, and the outcome is fluid and influential.

These “Chameleon artists” take on multiple roles to make sure that they can secure the pursuit of their dreams. It’s a statement of dedication to art, and an expectation of considerate creations. We look forward to seeing this movement, and this group of artists bringing more insights and positive value into the art world and beyond. -Curator LEE I-Hua
