bio

I am an artist and scholar born in 1991 in Munich, Germany, currently residing between Taipei and Hualian, Taiwan. After graduating as Meisterschüler under Andrea Büttner in 2021 in Visual Arts, I extended my interest in theory with an MA in Critical and Curatorial Studies and Western Art History in 2022, and a Doctoral candidacy in Transdisciplinary Arts in 2024. Besides my artistic and academic work, I am directing an art gallery called piyi since 2023.

My research interests encompass exhibition histories and notions of art, particularly since the beginning of modernity in the late 19th century, and large-scale exhibitions of the 20th and 21st centuries. I focus on the materialization of cultural political agendas in the arts with a specific emphasis on reform politics, Avant-Garde artist circles, alternative art movements, art educational practices, utopian thought, and mass art events. My approach is to find transdisciplinary connections in normative thought, closely examining artistic expression, curatorial work, and exhibition practices.

My current research includes the analysis of documenta with focus on the notion of undercommons at documenta fifteen; a study on the shift in art theory from technological to metaphysical and ecological concerns in 19th and 20th century large-scale art fairs and biennials; and a broader investigation into the politics of alternate knowledge in the 20th and 21st-century curatorial practice, connected to anthropological and ethnographic discourse as a means of art perception.

Ín my studio, I am forging a connection between historical research and artistic inspiration, stemming from studies of Pre 1850 art history, urban culture, and non-contemporary art creative practices in the light of a post-studio conceptualism, currently focusing mainly on abstract painting. My dedication to Postcolonial and Critical Studies in my scholarly work has allowed me to work less inductive with artistic materials, finding greater inspiration in their friction and own insights.
