Internal Navigation: Solo Exhibition by Yu-Wen Wu
How do we internally navigate the world, the times, and within ourselves? For interdisciplinary artist Yu-Wen Wu, this question provides the basis for her solo exhibition Internal Navigation. The Boston-based and Taipei-born artist has long explored migration vis-a-vis art, science, politics, social and cultural constructs, and natural phenomena. In this presentation, Wu is both artist and geographer, translating her movement through the world and within her environment into richly detailed drawings and installations. Her story is filtered through a variety of different media, yet in all her work, she seeks to determine the position of her course, the lengths she’s come, and the distance yet to travel.
