MAY-LING CHANG

Born in 1956. Doctorate in Art Education, Columbia University, USA. From 2015 to 2016, she served as the host of the “Photography Cultural Resources Investigation Project”. She is currently the host of the photography art group “Go Photography”. Artists, curators, teachers, advisory committees of government cultural institutions, collection committees, judging and evaluation committees. Long-term focus on the education and promotion of photography art research, and is committed to promoting the establishment of the “National Photography Culture Center”. She has published many articles and has many series of works, tending to various experimental methods and using various strategies. “Is there anything in your family that can be exhibited in the museum” is a creative plan for the opening exhibition of the Taipei Museum of Contemporary Art in 2001, and a community project that will be reproduced again in the 20th anniversary retrospective exhibition of the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2022. Through the field investigation and interview method of photography, I visited the residents in the community near the Museum of Contemporary Art, and asked the residents to bring out the things they think are suitable for exhibition at home, which may be personal objects or interesting collections. From a variety of daily life objects, it outlines a heterogeneous and misplaced living landscape, and reproduces a historical and cultural slice of a region. You can learn about residents’ cognition of art museums, artistic concepts and cultural interpretations, as well as community family memories and personal life stories of social changes in the context of the times.
