#LOOPFair2020 - The selection We are happy to announce that Chi-Wen Gallery (Taipei) @chiwengallery will also be joining the LOOP Fair, and present the first two episodes of a video project by Taiwanese artist Chang Li-Ren (1983), titled “Battle City” - 2010 -2018. Chang mostly creates video installations, conceptual projects, and animations. In his works, he aims to construct a virtual world situated in between reality and imagination by means of narration. The artist spent several years building a small-scale city that was not modeled on any existing one but instead was constructed on the basis of his impressions of cities and his memories as a child. The first episode, “The Glory of Taiwan", depicts collective hysteria in the face of incompetence. The second episode, "Economic Miracle", portrays an imagination of how capitalism operates in its extreme form in a city. An unrecognized political entity has been transformed into a special economic zone, where ideological martial law has been replaced by economic martial law to further control the population. It is this form of microcosmic politics that the city model attempts to represent. #LOOPBarcelona #LOOPFair #fairselection #videoartfair #movingimage #changliren #chiwen #chiwengallery #battlecity #gloryoftaiwan #taiwan #capitalism #economicmiracle #city
