Location USA / Los Angeles
Residency 18th Street Arts Center
Year of the Grant 2014
Work Leave & Live
TSAI Shih Hung graduated from the Taipei National University of the Arts. In 2014, the Ministry of Culture chose Tsai to a three-month residence program at 18th Street Arts Center in Los Angeles. Lin also received subsidy from Taiwan Academy to hold an exhibition at 18th Street Arts Center.

Thoughts on Residency Program:

Stimulated by the foreign culture of the U.S., I discovered another creative possibility. The U.S. is a large country, whereas Taiwan is a small, densely populated island. It seems destined that their artworks naturally emphasize on grandeur instead of details. The scales of the works are monumental, and this shows me the difference between a large country and an island country. This is the challenge we must overcome.
