Selected for a 2015 Application Exhibition, upcoming artist Che-Wei Chen (b.1986) is a 2011 graduate of the Master of Fine Arts Program at Taipei National University of the Arts and was chosen for the 2014 Taipei Arts Awards. He currently lives and works in Taipei. For his four channel video I'm with You in Rockland, exhibited at his 2013 solo exhibition HOWL in Howl Space, Chen recorded autobiographical stories of four friends who had been residents of a psychiatric hospital. Later, Chen continued working in the same vein, developing it into his project Oblivion, the subject of the current exhibition. The project is named for a psychiatric hospital built in the 1930s during the period of Japanese rule in Taiwan. It was during this time that the government established Taiwan's first institution for confining and treating the mentally ill, which represented the first restrictions of modern social order in Taiwan. Chen intends this issue as the first part of ongoing observations of psychiatric patients who have been marginalized by injustice in the course of modern social development. Using the unfortunate plights of these individuals as the focus of his work, Chen discusses individual and collective memory from the perspectives of history, society, physical space and the body. His goal is to present the politics hidden within history and the system.
