Yen Ting Cho's Gateway to Taiwan: Island Tales at Taoyuan Airport
Yen Ting Cho, a Taiwanese artist born in 1981, has designed a public art installation titled Gateway to Taiwan: Island Tales for the newly constructed Terminal 3 at Taoyuan International Airport, set to open in December 2025. This initiative is part of the broader airport expansion and Taiwan's investment in public art, culminating in a full launch in 2027. The installation, created by YEN TING CHO Studio, includes seven artworks that delve into themes of technology, spirituality, diversity, and the future. It features circular shapes and colors, structures inspired by semiconductors, and nods to indigenous cultures. The project was developed with the architectural expertise of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and Fei & Cheng Associates, alongside engineering support from ARUP and CECI Engineering Consultants. Yen Ting Cho also serves as a professor at National Cheng Kung University and is the co-director of Rylett Press in London.
