Yachu Kang's work "As Lines Are Drawn, Ripples Begin" (2025) is featured at the exhibition "Practice and Practice With Lii Jiin Shiow and Jo Hsieh", presented by the Chiayi Art Museum, Taiwan.
Dates: 27 June - 12 October 2025
Location: Chiayi Art Museum, No.101, Guangning St., Chiayi City, Taiwan
"Practice and Practice With Lii Jiin Shiow and Jo Hsieh" centers on two Chiayi-born women artists—Lii Jiin Shiow (1953–2003) and Jo Hsieh (1967–2017). Through a spectrum of works—including finished pieces, daily studies, experimental projects, and teaching materials—the exhibition examines their reflections on art, selfhood, and relationships. Complementing these are site-based projects and field research by three contemporary artists—Tsai Chih-Hsieh, Kang Ya-Chu, and Wang Yi-Ting—which spark an intergenerational dialogue and reawaken the artistic and personal legacies of these Chiayi artists.
"Upcoming exhibition Practice and Practice at Chiayi Art Museum features the work of two female artists, Lii Jiin Shiow and Jo Hsieh. I’m creating a site-specific installation in dialogue with their artistic practices. In the creative practices of Li Jinxiu and Xie Yijuan, lines are more than visual marks—they are questions, gestures, and ongoing dialogues. Through sketching, weaving, and reflection, the artists entwine media, memory, and time, spinning life into form. Here, I am using the line from yarns to responds to their art practice" – Yachu Kang
