關於菲比

藝文工作者,喜劇性格,老派思想,用力過著堅持與理想並進的人生。

出生成長,並現居創作於石門水庫。技職體系出身,2002年起於泛視覺藝術領域謀生;2013年起擔任藝術家林建榮經紀人,並於該年與創作同好共同策劃第一屆「百元zine」展覽,以「一百元」售價限制創作成本,拿掉華麗印刷,留下讓人熱血沸騰的創意與理念,自此菲比每年緩慢持續在紙本上進行創作。

現以做展覽的、賣作品的、畫圖的、做菜的等身份切換中。

Art Facilitator Phebea Chun-Yi Shen is a comical person who also has a soft spot for old and nostalgic things. Currently based in her hometown near Shihmen Reservoir in Taoyuan, Taiwan, Shen received her education in the technical and vocational system and has been working in the art industry since 2002. She has been representing artist Lin Chien-Jung since 2013 and co-curated the project “Zine” in the same year. “Zine” is a project that sells original publications for the price of NT$100. Stripped of fancy print jobs, “Zine” seeks to present passionate creativities and ideas in a simple manner, and it is an ongoing project that Shen continues to take part in every year. Shen wears many hats and currently curates exhibitions, sells artworks, paints, and cooks.

 

Some of Shen’s experiences include being co-curator of the “2019 Green Island Human Rights Arts Festival”; Visual Art Program Director of the “2018 Nuit Blanche Taipei”; and Co-Curator for the Paris stop of “Serendipity: Contemporary Jewellery Exhibition” in 2017. She also presented her creative project “Je suis ici Je suis la” in “Design X Ateliers in France 2017”. The project includes drawings of Shen’s past self and the small towns in Southern France that she has always been quite fond of. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Raymond Peynet, Marc Chagall, and Pablo Picasso, whom had all left their imprints in the South of France, also appear in Shen’s drawings, as a way of collectively showing the notion of “Je suis ici Je suis la” (I am here, I am there). The Common Wealth Magazine also did an exclusive interview with Shen featuring this project.

 

From the end of 2016 to January 2018, Shen collaborated with metal-weaving artist Huang Yu-Chih on a site-specific artwork for a client in Shenzhen, China. The artwork, “Rhythm of Ripples”, is over 10 meters wide, and is permanently installed in the lobby of One Shenzhen Bay (Phase 1) designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, an architecture firm known for ultra-tall buildings. In 2016, Shen worked as the chief organizer of the New Year’s project, “2016 Dreamers’ Check-in Station – NYE” created by artist Tsai Hairu and presented by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. In the same year, Shen curated “Finding Myself: AAM Festival III” at the Art & Arch Museum in Taichung, Taiwan, which explored how messages are transmitted, and the correlative cosmology between words and images. In the summer of 2016, she proposed the following question to both artists and viewers: “Can foreigners use their outsider perspectives to see local sceneries that the local people have neglected to see?” The exhibition “Local Enough?” presented in Barry Room , Taipei Artist Village explored how “our localness” is reflected through several pairs of eyes of “non-local others” and examined if such endeavor could lead to mutual connections between them and us. It also explored if the locals could be prompted to further reconsider our constantly shifting “local culture” and for new, broader horizons to be seen through a compound perspective.​
