Mind Set Art Center is on the verge of our 2-year anniversary and delighted to celebrate with a special event-“Pavilion Garden”. The leading role of “Pavilion Garden ”is Shi Jin-Song, an established artist from Hubei province, China. He is going to create this garden with his recent woks featured on pine, plum and stone which exudes immensely strong aura of the East. The fusion of traditions and innovation of garden space echoes the spirit of city reformation at the historical Xinsheng 16 conception space, enriching the culture and texture of Taipei City.
Born in 1969, Shi Jin-Song now is working and living in Wuhan and Beijing. He studied at Hubei Academy of Fine Arts in China where he majored in sculpture and mastered an array of traditional styles and techniques. He graduated in 1994.
His practice includes sculpture, installation, painting, and some experimental acting performance. Through these art forms, he places hopes and cares on transience and object mortality in our daily life; meanwhile, he finds a path to redemption by their implications. Shi’s works consist of reference to ancient Chinese mythology and folklore, also showing an attempt to improve the value of new potential system.
Shi has shown work internationally in many exhibitions including Shanghai Cool: Creative Reproduction at the Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art, Mahjong at Kunstmuseum Bern in Switzerland, Alors, La Chine? at the Pompidou Center in Paris, and Too Much Flavour at Chambers Fine Art in New York.
