2014: Ministry of Culture, Taiwan

Yinling Hsu

Yinling Hsu’s work centers on the behaviors and ethos demonstrated in human society. She creates characters and imagines their points of view on the subject. These images, whether about out-of-the-ordinary individuals or implausible space, convey the message that humans need to impersonate that which is outside themselves, in order to face the world.

Yinling Hsu (born 1987 in Pingtung, Taiwan) lives and works in Taipei. In 2013 she received an MFA in painting from the Taipei National University of the Arts. Recent solo exhibitions include Dr. Sleep and Gourmet Drama, Project Fulfill Art Space, Taipei; Ten Feet Above Stage Visual, Eslite Gallery; and National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. Group exhibitions include Lights of Women, at Gwangju Museum of Art.

Xavery Wolski

Xavery Wolski’s work is characterized by the fetishizing of obscenity which functions as a means of testing the workings of the norm-making mechanism and cultural perception – or what Mary Douglas terms social filtering. For Douglas human focus on the dirt is automatically connected to the risk of opposing the established cultural and ethical norms. Wolski believes that all senses of perception are significant in the reception of culture as theory, since they constitute a part of the primal mechanism of human cultural perception and, therefore, are capable of transformation.

Xavery Wolski (born in 1988, Aix-en-Provence, France) lives and works in Krakow, Poland, studying at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts. He co-authored the installation Pasta on the roof of the former railway station, PKP Powiśle in Warsaw and the exhibition of Spirala Grupa NGC 5474. The Wild Blue Yonder at the Contemporary Art Gallery Bunkier Sztuki in Krakow. He participated in Agnieszka Klepacka’s group exhibition The Importance of Dust in the Botanical Garden Museum in Kraków. His and Hubert Gromny’s project Let’s trim our hair in accordance with lifestyle won the national competition at Grolsch ArtBoom Festival. In 2014, he was the winner of National Competition for Fine Arts Students – Hestia Artistic Journey.
