CHOU YU-CHENG

Born 1976 in Taipei, lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan. Chou Yu-Cheng’s practice builds, across multiple mediums, a subtle critique of mass media, institutions and the mechanisms that produce them.

A graduate from l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, and the research programme La Seine, Chou has gained international recognition for his dialectical interplay between the source and results of his creations.

JEREMY EVERETT

Born 1979 in Colorado, USA, lives and works in Los Angeles and Paris. Citing inspirations such as Land Art masters Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer, Jeremy Everett’s work stems from a centre of intuition, and subtly evolves beyond process and creation. Its significance lies in its evolving state between varying forms of beauty. Everett has exhibited internationally with solo exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai, Paris and Hong Kong. He has participated in group shows at Espacio Tenerife de las Artes and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
