22.—23. april

Jacky Jaan-Yuan Kuo

Adressen til Jacky Jaan-Yuan sitt atelier er Myntgata 2B (Studio 120+122), 0151 Oslo
Atelieret er åpent søndag 23. april

Jacky Jaan-Yuan Kuo (f. 1994 i Taiwan) bor og arbeider i Oslo. Minner står sentralt i Kuos kunstneriske praksis, og brukes bevisst for å skape forbindelser mellom kropp, familie, visuelle opplevelser, objekter og rom. Ut fra minnene skaper han stadig nye narrativer som igjen former nye identiteter. Kuo sammenstiller ulike elementer i stedsspesifikke installasjoner – for eksempel lyd, væske, tekst, opptak og publikasjoner – og han bruker det (im)materielle for å formidle en intimitet gjennom installasjonene og historiene de forteller. Samtidig har scenarioene en hardere undertone: hjemlige forpliktelser, usikkerhet rundt identitet og de ubehagelige sidene av intimitet.

Kuo har en mastergrad fra Kunstakademiet i Oslo og en bachelorgrad i visuell kommunikasjon og design fra Fu Jen Catholic University, Taiwan. Kuos arbeider har blant annet blitt vist ved Oslo Kunstforening (NO), Oslo Negativ (NO), AKI Gallery (TW), Kunstnernes Hus (NO), Tenthaus (NO), PODIUM (NO) og Northing Space (NO). Kuo er en del av Tenthaus, et kunstnerkollektiv og et kunstnerdrevet visningssted i Oslo.
