CHEN An-An is a sculptor and installation artist based in Taiwan focused on mixed media, ceramics and a minimalist conceptual poetic work which evokes intimacy and memory. Her works revolve around queer feelings of love, desire, and loss within the complex relationship between self-identity and social system. In An-An’s recent exhibitions, she investigates the interwoven contradictory relations between her own desires and the social system, and examines how her sexual orientation, within a context of cross-cultural transition, space and language, affects the free expression, repression and restraint of desires. As an asian queer artist, she experiences how her sexual identities walk across these ambiguous and vague spaces, and her sculptural installations, which create uncanny atmospheres, raise the question: what kind of space is a sanctuary for our ambiguous identities?
