For immediate press release:
VertexList
space has the pleasure to present ÒEQUALSÓ: the recent new media works
by CJ Yeh.
The reception for the artist will take place on Friday,
September 15th 2006, 7pm Ð 10pm.
The exhibition will be on display Saturday September
09 until Sunday, October 08th 2006.
Please note the reception will not take place on the
first day of the show.
CJ Yeh was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and currently lives and works
in Brooklyn, New York.
He has exhibited in New York City at Queens Museum, ISE
Cultural Foundation,
Schafler Gallery, Taipei Information and Culture Center and
many other
local and international venues.
CJ teaches new media at F.I.T and recently published three
books:
ÒArt in the Digital AgeÓ, ÒArt and the Empire CityÓ and
ÒHistory and Development of Digital ArtsÓ, all in Chinese.
ÒEqualsÓ is the second solo exhibition of CJ YehÕs work at
vertexList gallery.
The three major pieces included in the show are based around
concepts of data-mapping and interfacing. Each art-interface requires users
input and automatically translates it into stylistic frameworks of modernist
masters: Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock and Philip Glass. The installations
include wall projections, screens, keyboards, printers and speakers.
These incredibly complex, Macromedia Flash based projects
philosophically examine artistic languages as systems of communication, and
expose their simple stylistic rules. Driven by user data, YehÕs interfaces
generate images and sounds according to the authorship rules of the modernist
classics. They are poetic examples of postmodern approach, confident and
elegant.
