Jia-Jen Lin is a Taiwanese-American artist based in New York and Berlin. Lin\u2019s works mediate the body, space, human condition, and our society. She explores human experiences and how they inhabit our bodies despite different space and time. Her installations often span several media, including sculpture, photography, video, sound, text, and performance. With an interdisciplinary approach, Lin creates visual presentations to investigate the human body and its surroundings as a reflection of our psyche. She investigates the subjects of cultural identities, correlated relationships between our physicality and psychology, and the resemblance between artmaking and manufacturing in social content.<\/p>\n
Lin\u2019s works have been shown in the Queens Museum, Franconia Sculpture Park, Locust Projects, the Watermill Center, gr_und, Brooklyn Army Terminal, and Rubber Factory, among other places. Previous sponsored artist-in-residences include the International Studio and Curatorial Program, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Arctic Circle, L\u2019Estruch, and Sculpture Space.<\/p>\n
During her residency, Lin continues to work on her new project entitled Treading on Thin Ice<\/em> to explore a post-landscape theme that contemplates human conditions under progressive catastrophes resulting from social issues and climate change. By employing the concept of landscape as traces of human history, a battleground, and an extension of the human body, Lin presents installations where nature, human activities, and materiality intersect through integrating sculptures with video projections and sound elements into large and site-specific installations.<\/p>\n Jia-Jen Lin formerly did a residency at K\u00fcnstlerhaus Bethanien from 1.12.2021 to 15.06.2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-31727","kb_artist","type-kb_artist","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"article_image":35073,"article_image_bu_de":"Jia-Jen Lin, Treading on Thin Ice series, 2022, Performance: An-Ru Chu, Foto: Kuo-Heng Huang.
