Michael Lin is an artist living and working in Taipei, Shanghai, and Brussels.
‘‘Lin turns away from painting as an object of contemplation toward one of painting as a bounded, physical space, one we can settle into and inhabit’’ (Vivian Rehberg).
Lin orchestrates monumental painting installations that re-conceptualize and reconfigure public spaces.
Using patterns and designs appropriated from traditional Taiwanese textiles his works have been exhibited in major institutions and international Biennials around the world, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, 2007, UCCA, Beijing 2008, The Lyon Biennial 2009, The Vancouver Art Gallery 2010, and most recently at the Singapore Biennial and the Towada Art Center.
Transforming the institutional architecture of the public museum, his unconventional paintings invite visitors to reconsider their usual perception of those spaces, and to become an integral part of the work, giving meaning to its potential as an area for interaction, encounter, and re-creation.
