林育正 Lin Yu-Cheng
Lin Yu-Cheng was born in Taiwan in 1979. His first solo exhibition took place at the Experimental Gallery of the Department of Sculpture, National Taiwan University of Art. He graduated from the Department of Sculpture, National Taiwan University of Art in 2002. In addition to focusing on Kinetic Art, Lin has also engaged in cross-discipline stage design and public art projects.
His work reflects on identity in the city. The object-filled spaces he produces are reminiscent of those corners of buildings which have we take for granted. He turns these perceptions of buildings and the city into installations.
Prior to 2010 his work utilized discarded metalwork as a means to uncover parts of a building and conduct archaeological-like excavation. This emphasized the horizontal and vertical elements of the architecture, returning to visibility those parts of a building, we take for granted, such as floors, corners and ceilings.
From 2010 to present his work developed towards BOX-OLOGY and Wandering Fragments of CITY. By making casts of concrete fragments, bricks and relics, and adding self-made concrete gears, mechanisms and other objects, he began to create the image of a civilization that had been trapped in buildings for millennia, buildings that murmured and operated quietly. These repeatedly operating gears symbolized the artist’s perception of city life: helpless circulation.
