Notes
Chou Yu-Cheng’s work has involved the participation of art institutions, private enterprises, artists, writers and labor workers, developing intimate relationships between participating parties towards the realization of his work. The artist’s 2013 series ‘Latitude Manufacture’ examines the process of exchange between artist and collector. The work is a series of paired paintings that examine the process of transaction between artist and collector. On purchase of the work, the collector receives a pair of paintings; a painting within a painting and a blank canvas, with a pre-determined set of coloured paints. The collector is invited to apply the paint onto the blank canvas as depicted in the paired painting – only then is the work completed. Chou also instructs that the pair cannot be displayed in the same space, utilizing the act of separation and a physical divide to create a connection with memory that is unique to each person.
