About

With Fairy Tale Reincarnation—Chang Chia Ying Solo Exhibition, Chang uses her first announced Legend series as the theme, where she transforms the familiar characters in the Eastern and Western fairytale stories, and rewrites the plots for some of them. The presentation of the entire series is like a continuous performance at an experimental theater. Chang intends to bring some breakthrough to the conventional concept in her Head-switching series. The characters are mostly from her Legend series, but every painting consists of two parts—an upper half and a lower half. Every combination contains different elements from both the Eastern and Western stories. Through this switching-head ritual, she uses these collages to develop new and different storylines and create some new dialogues among the characters. In addition, the newly created series, Rolling Eyes to the Left and Right, is painted in symmetrical arrangement with a fun and whimsical atmosphere. It leads the viewers to go over all the paintings in the exhibition room by following various pairs of eyes. These eyes are like the viewers’ eyes, which are led to enter a fantasy world. In addition to her graphic works, Chang also makes an attempt to reproduce the characters and the fantasy scenes in a three-dimensional space in this exhibition. In other words, the entire exhibition provides a space for viewers to experience her fantasy world. Some common objects in her painting such as the ladder is transformed into the installation, A Ladder to Heaven, in which the principal character needs to take this ladder to enter the mysterious and unknown world. In addition, the viewers need to wear the mask of a fox in order to watch the installation The Big Dryad. By doing so, they are allowed to enter a space with countless mirror reflections, participating in this fantasy world and embarking on a magnificent adventure along with the characters in Chang’s works.

Artists

Chang Chia-Ying

Born in Taipei in 1982.


2005 Graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, Taipei National University of the Arts, Taipei, Taiwan
2006 Taipei Awards, Taipei Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei, Taiwan

Her works reveal a “fairytale short circuit” situation. Every symbol has its own job—being engaged in a certain task, and telling a story of its own. However, the symbols are not connected and there is no strict order between them. Given that each cartoon artwork is presented on a 2D layout like a freeze-frame shot, there is not much content behind the canvas. As opposed to this poverty in the signified, what the artist pursues is the diversity of the signified.
