Wu Tien-chang presents solo exhibition 'Never Say Goodbye' for Taiwan at 2015 Venice Biennale

Taiwan is represented by artist Wu Tien-chang in a solo exhibition titled 'Wu Tien-Chang: Never Say Goodbye' at the 2015 Venice Biennale, marking a departure from his earlier participation in group exhibitions. Curated by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, his installation is showcased at Palazzo delle Prigioni in Venice and includes three video pieces—'Farewell, Spring and Autumn Pavilion,' 'Unforgettable Lover,' and 'Beloved'—alongside laser print light box installations 'Blind Men Groping Down the Lane' and 'Our Hearts Beat as One.' Through the use of mannequins and nostalgic Taiwanese music, Wu delves into themes of farewell, death, and cultural memory. Born in 1956 in Keelung, Taiwan, he has evolved from oil painting to digital art over the past thirty years, addressing Taiwan's identity in the context of globalization.
