Our current artist in residence at Convention House, Zhao Ruo Tong, is a longstanding member of Video Art Guerrilla, and uses the collective to develop and display works in site-specific ways. She will be joined by Miao Ying Lu and Lu Chih Kai. Miao Ying Lu is a visual artist exploring themes around environmental perception and non-human animals, through video, site-specific installation and writing. Lu Chih Kai is a multimedia artist, using photography, video, installation and performance to explore personal memories and subvert the functions of spaces we use daily.
