關於這檔展覽
「非時間生命誌 BIOCHRONY」 是臺灣藝術家蔡咅璟的個展，自 2025 年 12 月 18日起至 2026 年 1 月 18日止於臺北瑪德蓮畫廊展出。
此次展覽以新創的概念詞彙為命題，聚焦那些被淡忘的動物。祂們曾在生態變遷或殖民政權脈絡下遭受迫害，卻仍在非線性的想像時空裡延展其生命軌跡。回應此構想，展覽共呈現蔡咅璟的三件作品。其中兩件重要的錄像及裝置作品為《在海拔2000公尺震動》（2021）與《關於戰爭的三則記事》（2024）皆與臺灣日治時期的歷史密切相關。同時，其近期創作的繪畫作品《The Birds of New York》將首次亮相。該作延續藝術家對人與動物間關係的關注，靈感自他在美國駐村期間的城市觀察，並以新的視角反思鳥類在都市環境中的生活情景。透過作品的視覺與聽覺感受，展開一部「非時間生命誌 BIOCHRONY」，引領觀眾思索不斷變動的疆域以及物種之間的共存關係，並拓展理解生命、生態與歷史的另一種方式。
本展由天美藝術基金會贊助並提供展場，展覽計畫源自國立臺灣師範大學藝術史研究所「藝術策展實踐與理論」課程。課程探討策展知識與展覽實踐，邀請活躍於臺灣藝壇的藝術家與專業人士蒞校分享，同時提供學生參與實際策展的機會。因此，「非時間生命誌 BIOCHRONY」是由課程學生組成策展團隊，融合所學，嘗試當代藝術的策展實踐。誠摯邀請各界前來欣賞。

About the Exhibition
BIOCHRONY is a solo exhibition of Taiwanese artist Tsai Pou-Ching in Madeleine Gallery, in Taipei, from December 18th, 2025 to January 18th, 2026. This intimate show is exclusively revealing Tsai’s last work, The Birds of New-York (2025), a series of works on paper consisting in a bidimensional continuation of the artist’s practice and attachment to nature and its paradoxical role in nowadays societies worldwide. This work is displayed with two former major pieces, Reverberations at Altitude 2000 (2021) and Three Notes on War (2024) both made with video and installation. These two last works were deeply rooted into Taiwan’s colonial History, instead, The Birds of New-York is recalling the artist’s trip to the United-States. Thus, the exhibition features a multicultural perspective about the ambivalent role of animals in contemporary contexts that are mostly urban. This project was born after the initiative of Dr. Hsieh Pei-Chun, independent curator and professor at the Graduate Institute of Art History of the National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei. She selected the artist, place and formed a curatorial team with students, mainly future art historians and curators. Hence, Biochrony is a young, experimental and innovative exhibition, offering an unprecedented view on one of the most significant artists of Taiwan’s emerging contemporary art scene.
About the Artist
Tsai Pou-Ching was born in Chiayi in 1986. He earned an MFA from National University of Tainan in 2014. He lives and works in Tainan. He has been repeatedly recognized through major Taiwanese contemporary art awards and grant programs, and maintains an extensive exhibition record that traces the development of his artistic engagement. He notably received the Kaohsiung Award’s First Prize in 2022. Biochrony is the artist’s eleventh solo show, coming just after its consecration at Taipei Fine Arts Museum (TFAM), titled “Specimens of Empire” in 2024. This year, he further developed his work during an international program residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York. Inspired by animals and nature since childhood, he was deeply marked by Taiwan’s sharp contrast between nature and industrialisation. The artist’s practice is mainly focused on re-writing local history in an environmentally resilient and decolonial perspective, drawing on the notions of animality, wilderness and both conceptual and geographical borders.
