The Island: A New Chapter Exhibitions

Yu-Chen Wang’s new performative work marks the culmination of her Annotations residency in Outset Study. Performed by actress Akiya Henry

Similarly, her individual processes, both drawing and writing, share this quality of shifting perception of time – the paper enlivened by the viewer’s engagement.   Her new sci-fi writing, co-authored with Ming-Jiun Tsai, references the ‘Pacific trash vortex’, a mass of marine debris in the central North Pacific Ocean.  A flip-flop is the central character of the novel which muses on the “Kuroshio Current”, a north-flowing ocean current on the west side of the North Pacific Ocean that is a potential source of renewable energy, if it can be effectively harvested.
Yu-Chen Wang’s final drawing installation and her short film The Island, 2016 will be available to view in Outset Study as part of the event.
