Michael Lin

"My work has moved away from the idea of a painting as an object," Michael Lin (born 1964) observes. "I'm more interested in creating a painting as a space to occupy." Lin makes painted installations that reconfigure institutional spaces with designs appropriated from Taiwanese textiles. This publication is the first comprehensive overview of his work. Hanru Hou is an independent curator and scholar specializing in contemporary Chinese Art.
