I-Hsuen Chen
陳以軒
I-Hsuen Chen now works and lives in Taipei and holds an MFA from the Pratt Institute, New York. He is the winner of the Visual Arts Award in the 18th Taishin Arts Award. Starting with photography, Chen employs various approaches, namely, street photography, video installation, and performance, to continuously experiment with the relationship between image creation and different media. Chen’s work has been shown at photo festivals and biennials internationally, including the New York Photo Festival (2012), Singapore International Photography Festival (2014), Taipei Biennial (2016), Lianzhou Foto Festival (2016), JIMEI ARLES International Photography Festival (2016), and Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition (2018). He has held solo exhibitions at hpgrp GALLERY NEW YORK, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Bamboo Curtain Studio, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Sea Art Gallery, and Fengjia Museum. Chen’s works are part of the collections of the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and the Cattist Art Foundation.
Based on artist I-Hsuen Chen’s informal photography survey, it is estimated that in Taipei, on average, every ten motorcycles have one torn seat cushion, aptly named “Torn Cushion.” Speaking of torn cushions may evoke feelings of sadness, akin to scars. The larger the scar, the more discomfort riders experience, especially on rainy days when water slowly seeps into their pants. Each tear is like a universe, and every hole is like a black hole. By collecting various torn cushions, the artist seeks to find the most beautiful, humorous, tragic, or even the most ordinary torn cushion, creating what can be termed a “Torn Cushion Catalogue.”
陳以軒，目前工作與生活於臺北，第18 屆台新藝術獎視覺藝術獎得主，紐約普瑞特藝術學院藝術碩士。創作從攝影出發，透過街拍、錄像裝置、行為演出等各種手法，不斷實驗影像與不同媒材之間的關係。他的作品曾受邀至各大攝影節及雙年展，如紐約攝影節 (2012)、新加坡攝影節 (2014)、台北雙年展(2016)、連州攝影節 (2016)、集美阿爾勒國際攝影節 (2016)及台灣國際錄像藝術展(2018)，並先後於 hpgrp GALLERY NEW YORK、關渡美術館、竹圍工作室、台北市立美術館、海馬迴光畫館及鳳甲美術館舉辦個展。作品曾獲休士頓美術館及卡蒂斯特藝術基金會收藏。
根據藝術家陳以軒不嚴謹的攝影踏查，台北市的機車平均每十台就有一塊破掉的坐墊，名之破墊。講到破墊好像有點難過，是疤痕。疤痕越大，騎士們在下雨天越難受，水就這樣慢慢滲進褲襠裡。每塊疤痕都是一個宇宙，每個破洞都是一個黑洞。透過集各式各樣的破墊，尋找破的最美、最好笑、最慘、或是最平凡無奇的破墊，是為破墊圖鑑。
