About Work

[My Universities V - My Time (Calendar & Year)] is a piece of Chen’s Taipei Series.

 

This set of works illustrated Chen’s temporal experience she underwent when teaching in the college. The artist combined the Gregorian calendar date format with that of her weekly course schedule. The dates on which she has classes to teach were marked in midnight blue, and those she stays in the university yet has no class to teach in aqua blue. Weekends were manifested in iridescent colors. In this set of works, colors were apparently used to denote different psychological states. Midnight blue did savor of Monday blues, while the bright colors bespoke happy weekends. On the one hand, the arrays of color blocks on the compositions allegorized Chen’s lifestyle as a programmed machine, as if she must clock in and out every day. On the other hand, the swatch book-like arrangement of same-sized color blocks created a visual effect of circulation, giving the viewers the illusion of time elapsing.
