Chou Yu-Cheng

Chou Yu-Cheng (born 1976, Taipei) studied at the l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris, and the research program – La Seine. His work expresses his intentions by emphasizing the procedure and operation behind his work. To a certain degree, he focuses on how to produce an alternative method of operation that simultaneously reflects the problems of reality and proffers alternatives with their corresponding benefits. His intention is to reflect on the existing state of society, politics, and the economy, as well as on local issues.
