Chi-Wen Gallery Gallery in Taipei
Zhongshan · Contemporary programme
Editorial Profile
Founded in 2004 by Chi-Wen Huang, Chi-Wen Gallery occupies a distinctive position within contemporary art in Taipei, especially for its sustained commitment to artists’ film, video, photography, and media-based practices. Rather than operating as a broad commercial gallery, it has developed a focused program around experimental Taiwanese and Asian contemporary art, often privileging moving image, performance, conceptual research, and politically attentive forms of narration. Its artist list includes figures such as Chen Chieh-Jen, Hsu Chia-Wei, Su Hui-Yu, Yu Cheng-Ta, Tsui Kuang-Yu, Wang Jun-Jieh, Yao Jui-Chung, Tao Hui, Sin Wai Kin, and Bruce Yonemoto, indicating a program shaped by cross-generational dialogue and a strong engagement with time-based media.
From its base in Zhongshan, the gallery contributes to the more experimental layer of galleries in Taipei, complementing the city’s museum and foundation infrastructure with a specialized platform for screen-based and interdisciplinary practices. Its exhibitions and projects, including Chi-Wen Cinema – How Was History Wounded, Rhapsody Unchained, Human-Cannabis, Jigoku, Singing Winds, and presentations connected to Taipei Dangdai Art Week, show a pattern of treating the gallery as both exhibition space and screening context. Internationally, its regular participation in fairs such as Art Basel Hong Kong, Frieze New York, Frieze London, Asia Now Paris, ART SG, and LOOP Barcelona has positioned it beyond a local framework, giving Taipei-based and regional artists access to a wider circuit for film, video, and experimental contemporary art.
