The fictions of the in-between space
Chien-ming Huang
June 3 - 29th, 2006

Chien-Ming Huang is deeply intrigued by the power relationship between the opposites, such as home and the world; individuals and corporations; the disfranchised and the privileged. Huang's work examines a wide range of issues, whether that of race, identity, colonialism and post-colonialism, globalization, cultural stereotype, and popular culture. In this exhibition, Huang attempts to portray the lives of those who encounter a certain identity crisis while searching for a 'safe' space between opposite cultural and ethnic memberships. The work is both fictional and real in a way that it reflects the collective story of a group of individuals who experience similar struggles in their daily routines.
Huang received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Queen's University and a Master degree in Visual Arts from Vermont College. He also completed the Bachelor of Education program at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto.
