The Route -- Chen Chieh-Jen Solo Exhibition
After nearly three years of accumulating new energy, Chen Chieh-Jen will present his solo exhibition "The Route" at Main Trend Gallery. In his new works, he not only expresses his views and thoughts on the development of the global economy but also deeply depicts the various inevitable impacts and changes under the trend of globalization in Taiwan.
In the past few years, Chen Jie-Ren has been concerned about the impact of the global economy, especially about the destruction that transnational capitalism has caused to the Third World. In several of his exhibited works, he talks about the current political and economic situation in Taiwan under the influence of the global economy, especially the serious decline of certain industries, such as the textile processing industry, due to relocation to other countries with lower labor costs, especially China. In addition, as the economy is also moving toward globalization, not only Taiwan, but other countries will also face the same problems. Therefore, Western countries such as Great Britain will also be reached by Chen Chieh-Jen's new works. The meaning of his works is not only regional but also international, contemporary, and universal.

⌈The history I’m concerned with is the history excluded by legitimacy, the history “outside the recorded history.” It’s a realm of trance, like the gap between words. It’s the “disoriented” history vanishing in the heavy mist, the history existing in our languages, desires and smells, as well as in the flesh.｜Chen Chieh-Jen⌋ |
⌈If an artist is going into express suffering, he should trace its origin.
The impossibility of representation notwithstanding, re-imagination and re-writing remain necessary.｜Chen Chieh-Jen⌋ |
