Introduction

Between April and July 2020, Winsing Art Place will exhibit Alicja Kwade solo exhibition in Taiwan by German artist Alicja Kwade. She reinterprets our concepts of time, space, and matter in mathematical, scientific, and philosophical ways by creating figurative sculptures, installations, or images that look like hallucinations. Her work often involves reflected and repeated masses and sounds, using these elements to create immersive and experiential spaces and encourage viewers to question true beliefs.

On May 24, Winsing Art Place invited Mr. Sung-Chih Chen, an artist who also specializes in mixed-media space devices, to lead the audience to observe the work visually from space and to guide viewers to rediscover the work from the perspective of the creator.

Artist Biography
Alicja Kwade
Kwade was born in Poland in 1979. She moved to West Germany with her family later and graduated from the Berlin University of the Arts in 2005. Currently, she lives and works in Berlin. Her most famous work is the large-scale sculpture named "WeltenLinie", which was shown in 57th Venice Biennale 2017. Two-way mirrors and pairs of objects intentionally placed were used to compose the installation. When visitors walk through its steel structure, the objects in it will jump out from the framework of reality and move to the framework of the work while being observed in different angles of view, which may be a revolution to the way visitors adopt for reading and understanding the objects contained in the work. In 2019, Kwade's works have also been exhibited at the Roof Garden of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and in Setouchi Triennale 2019. They are now collected by some renowned art museums, including Centre Pompidou, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Boros Collection / Bunker Berlin.
