New Studio in Atlanta Contemporary Art Center!

After graduating from school, studio space becomes the biggest issue in my life. Fortunately, I am awarded this awesome space in the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, which offers me a valuable chance to keep going my art practice.

Atlanta Contemporary Art Center is an important landmark in Atlanta contemporary art scene. It curates some interesting exhibitions, invites well-known artists or curators to do talk and draw Atlanta-based artists together. I am very honored to become part of this family.

My Magazine Project is an on-going reproducing magazine project, which starts from March, 2009. So far, I already have 5 issues. They are all kinds of magazines I collect from my daliy life.
Sorry for being late...I stopped this project about 3 months in order to prepare my life after graduation. The studio space in Atlanta Contemporary Art Center provides me the woderful environment to resume this exciting project.

On my trip back Taipei in summer, 2009, I bought several authentic and popular commercial magazines as my souvenirs for my motherland. Choc (恰女生）is the first magazine in Taiwan devoted to teenager fashion and style. In my work, I mainly adapt images from two~three Taiwanese fashion or cosmetic magazines, "alter" images and then republish into a new magazine. The speciality of this issue is the usage of "Foam." This is not my first time using foam but it is the first time that I use so much amount in "My Magazine." I hope you will enjoy it!

My Magazine Project

No matter how much luxurious clothing we put on, we still cannot hide their true faces. After excavating their true parts beneath the flesh, we will reconstruct another pretty and messy paradise.” - YI-HSIN TZENG

YI-HSIN TZENG

This show presents several large-scale paintings based on Tzeng’s recent transformed image series titled, The Big Breast Calendar published by Taschen Diary (2009). The work contains nude females showing their giant breasts with affected gestures covered in part by painting patterns and strokes. Popular iconography, defaced and altered, brings questions of sexuality and the grotesque into sharp focus.

Tzeng collects large amounts of international commercial images from her daily visual environment. The action of altering and appropriating not only establishes her regurgitated aesthetics but also proclaims a regained control of the image. Please visit the online store of the artist for further inquiry:

Yi-Hsin Tzeng defaces selected images with playful mark-making, and then has an ongoing commitment to a series of publishing projects - a new edition of the magazine is available every two months. In this show, viewers can appreciate the original pages and the final transformed product at the same time.

Beauty always promises, but never gives. –By Simon Weil

In “My Magazines Project,” the artist collects large amounts of international commercial images from her daily visual environment. Tzeng defaces selected images with playful mark-making, and then republish the magazines again every two months. The artist remarks:

“They are too beautiful to be believed; they are too perfect to be trusted.
They are so affected that I want to make fun of them.
No matter how much luxurious clothing we put on, we still cannot hide our true faces.
After excavating their true parts beneath the flesh, we will reconstruct another pretty and messy paradise.”

The action of altering and appropriating not only establishes her regurgitated aesthetics but also proclaims a regained control of the image. In this show, viewers can appreciate the original pages and final transformed product simultaneously.
