Introduction

At the end of 2022, the Winsing Arts Foundation presented artist Anri Sala’s solo exhibition AS YOU GO at Winsing Art Place. Centered on an immersive video experience, the exhibition showcased AS YOU GO in the Foundation’s collection, which comprises three video works, including —Ravel, Ravel, Take Over, and If and only if. The fluidity of music and imagery made, the entire exhibition feel like a large-scale kinetic sculpture, offering visitors an experience akin to a “parade.” Beyond video, Sala also works across various media—such as installations, paintings, prints, and more recently, frescoes—to explore themes of identity, history, memory, and the interrelationship between past, present, and future.

At the exhibition’s opening, the Foundation invited the artist to an online conversation, during which he shared many thoughts on the exhibition and his works. On October 4, we are honored to welcome Sala in person to a special lecture and dialogue with Winsing Arts Foundation Executive Director Shiao-Jen Yeh about her collected works. This rare opportunity offers a new perspective on Sala’s artistic practice.
