About

Huang Hua-Cheng was born in 1935 in Nanjing, China, and died in 1996 in Taipei, Taiwan. He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at Taiwan Provincial Normal University in 1958 and soon after was recognized as a representative figure in Taiwan's 1960s modern art movement. His practice crossed multiple domains, including literature, advertising, design, theater, film, and visual art forms such as painting, ready-mades, installation, and conceptual art. In addition to being a core member of Theatre Quarterly, Huang was the sole and founding member of “École de Great Taipei”, which along with his pioneering concepts and uncompromising attitude, propelled him to a leading position in postwar avant-gardism in Taiwan.
