Shin-Rung Yang

Shin Yang is an artist and spatial designer from Taiwan. Over the past decade, she has lived in multiple cities and traveled to more than 20 countries, experiences that have profoundly shaped her artistic practice. Her work focuses on cities, places, memory, and spatial perception. Drawing on her academic background in visual arts and architecture, she adopts a multidisciplinary approach to examine and interpret environments through both physical and psychological dimensions.

Her current project, Palimpsest, funded by the National Culture and Arts Foundation Grant, explores spatial memory through immersive experiences. By integrating drawings, writings, collages, sounds, found objects, and other artifacts, the project investigates the intersections of imagination and reality in spatial representation, as well as the nuanced tactile quality of digital media.

Since 2015, her practice has spanned traditional visual arts, mixed and digital media, theatre, and architectural design. In 2022, as a recipient of the John K. Branner Fellowship, she undertook a three-month research journey across nine countries. In 2023, she received the Chester Miller Fellowship for Detours & Deviations and completed her Master of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, following her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts in 2018. In 2017, she was selected for a six-month exchange program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Her work has been exhibited in Taiwan, Japan, the Czech Republic, and the United States, and she collaborates extensively with visual artists, architects, curators, scenic designers, and communities.
