Catalogue published to accompany the exhibition 'Kosmos: Chang Ting-Tong Solo Exhibition' held at Taipei Fine Arts Museum from April to July 2019.
'Ting-Tong Chang, an alumnus of Goldsmiths, University of London who is currently based in the U.K., presents Kosmos, a creative project he has worked on for two years, which draws inspiration from German naturalist, Alexander von Homboldt. Seeking to process mankind's relationship with the world, the project incorporates issues on how technology is applied by humans, with a highly metaphorical approach employed by the artist to examine this systematic subject. Chang is known for art projects that respond and challenge certain social and relational phenomena. A series of drawings is presented in this solo exhibition by Chang, with the artist transformed into an early natural scientist or anthropologist, who draws notable cultural features he has collected from field trips conducted in the U.K. The drawings are an archival accumulation of both philosophical and scientific significance. In addition to kinetic installations and drawings, video documentaries of Chang's previous projects, including his fish, Spodoptera litera, and Asian tiger mosquitoes breeding projects, are also screened in the exhibition, with the artist's recent creative context comprehensively presented.' - from the foreword
