Chen Chieh-jen Empire’s Borders II

2 Oct-20 Nov 2010

Overview

Chinese Arts Centre is pleased to present a solo exhibition of the work of Chen Chieh-jen. The exhibition will be the UK premier of Chen Chieh-jen’s latest video work Empire’s Borders II – Western Enterprises Inc. (2010) together with the single-screen video Empire’s Borders I (2009) and archival material. Internationally acclaimed Taiwanese video artist Chen Chieh-jen sees his work as ‘an act of connection, linking together the history of people who have been excluded from the dominant discourse.’ In his concern with recent history he is acutely aware of Taiwan’s own complex political status as a country with limited international recognition.
