Residencies AiRCAST Episode #15: Yanyun Chen

In this episode, we entrusted curator and scholar Karin Oen to converse with our Artist-in-Residence Yanyun Chen. The two come together for a fascinating conversation revolving around the significance of the studio in Yanyun’s practice, revealing how it can act as a stable space for generative experimentation, exploration, and inspiration during transitional periods. Throughout the exchange, Yanyun divulges the importance of materiality in her practice, how the residency has influenced new modes of thinking and working, and the innocuous comments that kindled her interest towards her current research project. They also touch upon Yanyun’s concurrent practices, contemplating the value in allowing them to unfold and weave together naturally.
