Professor Ching-Yuan Chang from the Tainan National University of the Arts in Taiwan will be giving a ceramic workshop in Brick City on March 14 and 15.

Artist Statement

The motive and goal of my artistic creation took root in my attempt to document how the Taiwan’s cultural identity is manifested in all aspects of the island’s diversified contemporary culture and society, thereby highlighting Taiwanese contemporary ceramic community’s active engagement with the local culture.

Faced with challenges arising from seeking identity within Taiwan’s artistic creative environment in a globalized world, the focus of my personal artistic expression had switched from “intra-artistic” factors to dialogues with “extra-artistic” circumstances. Until Taiwan’s future development and international identity are clear, my concern with the contradictions between objectivity and subjectivity will continue to drive my artistic creation.
