Lo-Shih Tung ^(TW)

Lo Shih Tung’s practice orbits around two different gravities—of his personal artistic pursuit as well as of his interest in collective practice. As a leading member of Open Contemporary Art Center, Lo has been taking a very specific role in navigating potential interactions among cross-cultural perspectives and artistic practices, investigating the force of art that is mobilized and shaped by form, space, model and relation of collaborative process. His individual practice pays attention to fragmented narration and reflection of a contextual setting or environment, operation and composition of the world.

Lo has participated in the 2011 Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid at Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris/ France, and also Une terrible poetique, La Biennale de Lyon, France. In 2014 Lo received the grant Overseas Arts Travel Program from The National Culture and Arts Foundation (NCAF) and preceded his research and exchanges with art spaces and collectives in Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. Lo also initiates and participates in a number of collaborative projects between Taiwan and Southeast Asia with OCAC(Open Contemporary Art Center). Such as ThaiTai: A Measure of Understanding in collaboration with Jiandyin (2012-2014), CO-Temporary: Itu Apa Island (2016) in collaboration with Lifepatch, PETAMU project (2018), A Fly Enters. Immense Breath of the SEA series (2020-2022). Participate in Documenta 15, Kassel with Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts & Culture in 2022.
