You are invited to attend a free illustrated lecture with Yao Jui-Chung in the PICA Performance Space on Saturday 18 August at 1pm. Yao Jui-Chung has an extraordinary 30 year history as a leading contemporary artist in Taiwan. He is well known for his arts activism and subversive photography, and in more recent years for his painting and printmaking. His work investigates themes such as identity and displacement, the absurdity of the human condition, misplaced government funding and disused public spaces. Yao represented Taiwan at the 1997 Venice Biennale and has participated in numerous international Biennales and exhibitions, including the 2016 Sydney Biennale. After the lecture, Yao will take you into his PICA studio where you are invited to view what he has created during his residency.
