2008Forum for Creativity in Art—Hsu Yung-hsu: Theater of Clay

Date/ Time:Exhibition Dates: December 26, 2007 to March 2, 2008
Venue:Galleries 401 and 402, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
Organizer:Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
Curator:Sophia S. P. Wen
Exhibition Statement:Hsu Yung-hsu, having been influenced by the negative space created by by the works of minimalist or post-minimalist artists, took his familiar material, clay, shaped it into dozens of two-meter high band-like elliptical loops and then arranged them in groups. These arrangements create aisles that guide viewers as they walk among the work, appreciate the hand modeled textures of the surfaces and turn around to look at the intersecting positive and negative spaces created by the loops.
