Director, Cube Project Space
Amy Cheng is an independent curator who lives and works in Taipei.
She is the co-founder of TheCube Project Space, which serves as an independent art space devoted to the research, production and presentation of contemporary art in Taipei. Her curatorial practice centers on the historical and geopolitical relations between Asia and the world in the contemporary scene. With the aim of delving into local culture and establishing long-term relationships with artists and cultural practitioners, she explores the possibility of “expanding curating”. Since 2010, she has promoted the studies on Taiwan’s modern sound cultures and extended this endeavor to multiple cultural forms such as exhibition, publication, online database, and internet radio.
The exhibitions curated by Amy Cheng include: Liquid Love (2020, Taipei), Towards Mysterious Realities (2016–2018, Taipei and Seoul), Shamans and Dissent: Artist Dispatch Project Exhibition (2013, Hong Kong), Re-envisioning Society (2011–2013, Taipei) and The Heard and the Unheard ─ Soundscape Taiwan (Taiwan Pavilion, 2011, the Venice Biennale). She also co-curated these exhibitions such as Tell Me a Story: Locality and Narrative (2016, 2018, Shanghai and Turin), Phantom of Civilization (2015, Luxembourg), ALTERing NATIVism — Sound Cultures in Post-War Taiwan (2014, Taipei and Kaohsiung), the Third Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition — Melancholy in Progress (2012, Taipei) and Do You Believe in Reality? (2004 Taipei Biennial).
Cheng had been appointed the jury member of the Hugo Boss Asia Art Award (2015) and the 57th Venice Biennale (2017).
