Born in Taiwan, Huang Ya-Nung is a multi-discipline artist working among graphic design, illustration, photography and video. She’s also a musician playing “Suona”, a traditional double reed wind instrument. With sensitivity of social awareness, Ya-Nung has dived into art field since graduate education and her research was about power relationship between human being and space. She has gradually developed her artistic approach: integrating video, sound, body movement and installation in order to research “interaction of people and space” and create dialogue in between.
“Body experience in the space”, “rediscovery in daily life”, “fragment collecting” are three man concept in her art practice. Addressing ”site-specific” and “sense of place”, Ya-Nung usually spends a lot of time to getting alone with the environment and utilizing sensory experience to depict space. Focusing on objects ignored by people, she discovers and collects in the form of fragments. Through disassembling, collaging and interpreting in artistic methods, those objects revive. This way of practice reflects one of her hobby: “lost place exploring.” As time goes by, succession of architecture is staging continuously in city jungle. Body and mind are exiled in the freezing time and space. Exploring, discovery, and collecting various fragments in the space make me feel like a hunter or a detective hunting, searching treasure and solving puzzle. I’m fascinated to this risky but exciting experience. An audio-visual installation ”Paradise”(2021) is a representation of lost place experience.
Besides, with years traditional music training, Ya-Nung playing not only Suona, but also other wind instruments such as Flute, Guan, Kachuang, Koxian, Bawu, Hulusi. She is experiences on orchestra, ensemble, and concerto. However, Ya-Nung tends to break the frame and approach fusion, including pop, jazz, latin and even art of noise. She’s trying to dig out possibilities of sounds rather than music. Furthermore, Ya-Nung also embeds body movement with improvisation performance in order to proceed contemporary transformation of traditional music. In 2023, she was invited by Lacking Sound Festival to join the performance tour to Germany, UK, Poland and CZ, to collaborate with electric modular synthesizer.
With sociology background, researching training and music talents, Ya-Nung has wide range of interests and crave to take more experiments. To her, multi-discipline is just the mean to achieve the final goal. Depend on the objective, suitable artistic practice will be applied to certain work. Therefore, she’s keeping approaching different art practices and collaborate with cross-field artists. In recent years, Ya-Nung focus on various social issues, bringing art into communities and reducing the gap between art and the public. She embraces the principle of “Art is life, art is everywhere, and belongs to everyone.” She pays close attention on cultural integration, ethnic difference and power relationship, and towards realizing empowerment and cultural accessibility.
