Hoi Ka Ian is a Macau artist whose works are about the relationship of vulnerability within individuals and communities. With that she expresses her vision through different medium: paintings, installations, videos and texts.
In her works, key words “likeability”, “secret”, “identity”, “communicate appear repeatedly”. She tends to use her own methodology to interpret “vulnerability”, while struggling with white cube work standard, she would rather describe her work as “non-spectacular spectacle”. She wishes her work is a staged happening, rewarding to the audience, and create a feeling resonance platform of intimacy through interpretation and contemplation of nowadays society as a member of new generation and a Macau artist.
She holds a MA fine art degree from University of the Arts London (Chelsea College of arts) and a BA fine art degree from Taiwan National University of the Arts. During her study she has been participating and curating various exhibitions locating in Macau, Taiwan, Portugal and London.
During this short-term residency, I want to continue the theme of “repetition” and find the “repetition” of Chongqing. I will create and record this journey and encounter in the form of videos and paintings.
