The Taipei Cultural Center (TCC) in New York, in collaboration with the Triangle Arts Association (TAA), is proud to announce that Taiwanese sculptor Cheng I-Hsin (鄭宜欣) has been selected for the esteemed 2025 TAA residency program in New York. Cheng will embark on a three-month residency starting in March 2025, where she will further her exploration of cultural identity, memory, and cross-cultural artistic dialogue.
Cheng, who holds an M.A. in visual arts from the Taipei National University of the Arts, is known for her innovative approach to sculpture and printmaking. Her work delves into themes of belonging and heritage, often integrating the pictorial elements of calligraphy to examine their evolving significance in a globalized world. Along with receiving prestigious awards, such as the Lih Pao Sculpture Biennial Awards (2020, 2022), she has also held solo exhibitions at the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology Arts Center and the National Taiwan University Library.
During her residency at TAA, Cheng plans to merge Eastern philosophical concepts with Western artistic techniques, utilizing sculpture, installation, and performance to navigate the interplay between language, culture, and human experience. In the dynamic and diverse artistic landscape of New York, she aims to expand her creative perspectives and engage in meaningful cultural exchanges with the local art community.
Since 1982, TAA has served as a vital platform for international artists, fostering collaborations with local curators and expanding global artistic dialogues. Since 2019, with the support of Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, TCC has partnered with TAA to bring outstanding Taiwanese artists to New York, including Wu Ping-Sheng, Chen Liang-Hsuan, Wu Chien-Hsing, Wang Bo-yan, and Chang Wen-Wan. Cheng’s participation in the residency is expected to bring fresh Eastern perspectives to the program and further enrich cross-cultural artistic exchanges.
