Artist Chen Ching-Yao will participate in the group exhibition "VOC, Sea Monsters, Artillery Fire, and Them: 400 Years of Fort Zeelandia" presented by Tainan Art Museum.
The exhibition curated by Chen Hsiang-Wen and Chuang Tong-Chiao, featuring artworks by 30 artists/groups. This curatorial project starts with the Fort Zeelandia built by the VOC in 1624. Through the problematic revolving around the colonization and trade by this state-run commercial company – one that was able to carry out diplomatic actions and launch violent wars – this exhibition concentrates on the exploration of several keywords, including “trade,” “war,” “marine navigation,” “colonization,” “post-colonial,” “map,” and “plants and species migration.”
