任大賢 Jen, Ta-Hsien

跨領域藝術Interdisciplinary

1977年生於高雄,2010年畢業於國立台南藝術大學造型藝術研究所。自2002年起於台灣各地舉辦個展及聯展,屢次受邀創作大型公共藝術,於2006年獲台北美術獎。擅長雕塑,力求線性圖形的幾何結構表現及變化。

進駐地點:美國波士頓當代藝術中心

波士頓當代藝術中心(CAI)於2010年正式成立,提供藝術家發展的必要資源。中心設有多功能工作室,包含兩間藝廊、教室、一間多功能表演廳和戶外工作空間。其中,表演廳設置雕塑舞台,備有獨立音響系統和多媒體科技設備,適合跨領域展演。進駐藝術家可以使用專屬的個人臥室、無線網路、辦公室、公用廚房與客廳等,所有空間與設備都可作為藝術家駐村、研討會、藝術教育、展覽等用途。

臺南市政府文化局與波士頓當代藝術中心交流計畫已邁入第三年,2016年薦送雕塑藝術家任大賢赴CAI進駐,駐村期間其魚雕作品保留於中心的戶外空間,亦嘗試線性幾何結構之金屬創作。2016年10月於總爺國際藝術村舉辦「無設線Borderless: 任大賢個展」。

Born in Kaohsiung in 1977, Ta-Hsien Jen earned an MFA from the Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts in Tainan National University of the Arts in 2010. He has had several solo as well as group exhibitions around Taiwan since 2002. Jen has been invited to create some large-scale public art installations. As the recipient of Taipei Arts Awards in 2006, Jen specializes in sculpture and strives for the balance between the geometrical structures and variations of linear figures.

Contemporary Arts International (CAI)

Contemporary Arts International (CAI) was founded and built by two artists with international connections, Yin Peet and Viktor Lois, with headquarters in Acton, Massachusetts. It was open to the public in 2010. Programs provided include international symposia and exchange, artist-in-residency, art education and exhibitions. Its 12-acre campus is surrounded by nearly 100 acres of town forest, the site of a former working granite quarry. The main building–The Red Box Performance Hall– is a 7,000 square foot multi-purpose studio building containing two galleries, a classroom/workshop, a multidisciplinary performance hall, and outdoor working spaces. Also located on the grounds is a house for resident artists with four private bedrooms, an office, shared kitchen, and living rooms.

It is the third year of the art exchange program between the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Tainan City Government and Contemporary Arts International, Boston. In 2016, we sent the sculptor, Ta-Hsien Jen, to CAI for residency. The fish sculpture he created during his residency has been kept at the outdoors of CAI. Endeavoring to build metal creations in a linear and geometrical structure, Jen held his solo exhibition “Borderless” in Tsung Yeh Artist Village in October, 2016.
