PUBLIC TALK: SymbioticA Friday Seminar> Jia-Jen Lin

SymbioticA Friday Seminar> Speaker: Jia-Jen Lin; Time & Location: 3:30-5pm @ SymbioticA

Jia-Jen Lin is currently an artist in residency at Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) from September to December, 2010. She will be sharing her artist practice and residency experiences from recent years.

Lin’s work investigates the psychological distance between artificial life and our physical sensations. By way of collecting, modifying, and representing information and materials from everyday experiences, she develops a series of works integrating sculpture, performance, and digital media.

Jia-Jen Lin was born in Taichung, Taiwan and currently lives and works in New York, Taiwan, and various locations. She has a BFA in Western Painting and a MFA in Sculpture, Installation, and Multimedia. Since 2008, she has been selected and granted for several artist residencies in US, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia.

Jia-Jen is the recipient of an Asialink visual art reciprocal residency between Taipei Artist Village in Taiwan and Perth Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA).
