Bahasa IndonesiaChen Sung-Chih, lahir di Nantou, Taiwan, pada tahun 1978, menyelesaikan pendidikan di Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts, Tainan National University of the Arts. Praktiknya menggunakan material seperti kertas, kain, kayu, debu, sabun, dan benda-benda keseharian yang mengalami proses berulang berupa pelipatan, pemucatan, penutupan, penekanan, dan pelapisan hingga mengalami transformasi yang tidak dapat dikembalikan ke keadaan semula.
Dalam kerangka Material Polyphony: Traces of Labor, Order, and Transformation, Chen memandang material sebagai ruang tempat jejak tindakan dan waktu terakumulasi. Proses kerja yang berulang mengganggu tatanan awal material, sementara retakan, noda, lipatan, dan abrasi muncul sebagai bukti dari perubahan tersebut. Material tidak lagi berfungsi sebagai medium yang pasif, melainkan menjadi rekaman aktif dari ingatan, tindakan, dan durasi.
EnglishChen Sung-Chih, born in Nantou, Taiwan, in 1978, graduated from the Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts at Tainan National University of the Arts. His practice engages materials such as paper, fabric, wood, dust, soap, and everyday objects, subjecting them to repeated processes of folding, bleaching, covering, pressing, and layering until they undergo irreversible transformation.
Within Material Polyphony: Traces of Labor, Order, and Transformation, Chen approaches material as a site where traces of action and time accumulate. Repetitive acts of labor disrupt the material’s original order, allowing cracks, stains, folds, and abrasions to emerge as evidence of transformation. Rather than functioning as passive supports, materials become active records of memory, action, and duration.
