The 60th Venice Biennale kicked off on Apr. 20, featuring Taiwanese video artist Yuan Goang-ming (袁廣鳴) with his work titled “Everyday War (日常戰爭).”
Born in 1965 in Taipei, Yuan Goang-ming studied art in Taiwan and Germany. His active commitment to video art has made him one of the pioneering new media artists in Taiwan since the 1990s. He works across various mediums, ranging from single-channel videos, computerized interactive installations, installation-based video projections, to prints created with digital media. Through these forms, he has consistently explored and unfolded the possibilities of video and media art.
“Everyday War” encompasses the artist’s work from 2014 to now. Together they convey both personal and collective’s ever longing inquiry of home in an era when conflict and fragility are the norm: What’s survival? What’s living? What’s peace? What’s safety? What’s freedom? What’s poetic?
This exhibition will run until Nov. 24. For more information, please visit Venice Biennale’s website.
