TECRO Presents Master Sculptor Kang Muxiang’s “Rebirth” Exhibition from September 20, 2018 to March 31, 2019

Taiwanese master sculptor Kang Muxiang’s “Rebirth” exhibition is coming to Washington, D.C. in late September this year. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States (TECRO) welcomes art lovers to immerse themselves in Kang Muxiang’s thoughtful, environmental and powerful sculptures through late March 2019.

Kang’s seven monumental embryonic sculptures, created using recycled elevator cables from Taipei 101, one of the world’s tallest buildings, will be installed at UDC, in front of TECRO and at the Twin Oaks Estate in NW Washington, D.C.

Born in 1961 in northern Taiwan’s Miaoli County, Kang began studying woodcarving at the age of 13. Kang’s experience during his 2002 yearlong isolation on Guishan (Turtle Island) off the coast of northeastern Taiwan’s Yilan County motivated him to create his life series of sculptures. In addition to wood and elevator cables, Kang has produced sculptures using bronze and stainless steel.

Kang’s “Rebirth” series installation will not only be aesthetic, but it will also provide a powerful artistic and environmental message to the many Washingtonians and visitors from around the world who will view these tremendous sculptures.
