Huang I-Hsiang
Huang I-Hsiang works with video, documentary, and spatial installations, using “site-specificity” as a core notion. For I-Hsiang, this mode of thinking is deeply rooted in the concept of the “body,” wherein site-specificity embodies a distinct form of “specific corporeality,” manifesting in space and serving as the foundation of his artistic work. As a result, his creations feature a mutually reflected chain of relationships between the body, space, and institution.
Huang I-Hsiang has exhibited work at Absolute Space for the Arts, Tainan City; Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Taipei; El Instante Fundación, Madrid, among others.
