CHARWEI TSAI
Charwei Tsai utilizes a variety of media in a socially engaged, performative practice. At once highly personal yet general in concern, Tsai grounds her practice in a sense of global identity and the consequent implications. Geographical, social and spiritual concerns inform a body of work directed towards activating participation outside the confines of complacent contemplation. She has had solo exhibitions in Beijing, Bogota, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Paris, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo, and her projects have been included in various international exhibitions, including J’en Rêve at Fondation Cartier, Paris, France (2005), the inaugural Singapore Biennale (2006), Thermocline of Art: New AsianWaves at ZKM Center of Art and Media, Karlsruhe (2007), Traces du Sacré at Centre Pompidou, Paris (2008), the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial (2009), Taiwan Calling at Ludwig Museum, Budapest (2010), Yokohama Triennale and Ruhrtriennale (both in 2011). In addition to her art practice, Tsai is the publisher of the biannual journal, Lovely Daze. Charwei Tsai currently lives and works in Taipei and Paris.
