Ya-chu Kang & Christian Nicolay

Projects: Christian Nicolay & Ya-chu Kang started collaborating in 2010 at the Playwrights Theatre Centre (Candahar Bar Project, Clamour and Toll) in Vancouver BC with a sound performance based on morning rituals and habits from Western and Eastern cultures. Nicolay and Kang’s art field have included sculpture, installation, video, sound recording, performance and site-specific projects. Their research deals with the shifting polarities between Western and Eastern cultural landscapes which they define as “portable walls”, a temporary or nomadic shift serving to enclose, divide, protect or change ones identity. Issues of memory, process, space and time revolve around their portable walls explorations and how these constructions become part of their own experiences and spatial relationships.

Christian Nicolay & Ya-chu Kang started collaborating in 2010 at the Playwrights Theatre Centre (Candahar Bar Project, Clamour and Toll) in Vancouver BC with a sound performance based on morning rituals and habits from Western and Eastern cultures. Nicolay and Kang’s art field have included sculpture, installation, video, sound recording, performance and site-specific projects.

Issues of memory, process, space and time revolve around their portable walls explorations and how these constructions become part of their own experiences and spatial relationships.

They received an artist in residence program and exhibition at the Taipei Artist Village (TAV) in Taipei Taiwan (2010), and have exhibited their projects abroad in Finland (Akkigalleria 2011), Italy (Sienna Art Institute 2011)(Valcellina Award International Contemporary Textile/Fiber 2012), Japan (Talganie Museum 2011), Canada (Elliott Louis Gallery 2012), Austria (Schmiede Art Festival 2012), Taiwan (Museum of Medical Humanities 2012)(Songshan Culture and Creative Park 2012) and recently their video Recoil received the Judges award prize from the NW Film Centre (Portland OR) and screened at the Portland International Film Festival (2012).
