Yuki PAN holds a BFA and an MFA from the Department of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University. She received her PhD in Philosophy from Fu Jen Catholic University, and was an exchange student at the Centre d’Études Phénoménologiques, Louvain-la-Neuve University, Belgium. Pan started her career as an artist and educator. Afterwards, she shifted her focus to studying aesthetics, viewing herself as an artist-aesthetician. Pan was dean of the College of Arts, Dong Hwa University and director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei. She has joined or launched various cultural policies and art movements after the lifting of martial law in Taiwan, and is the founder of the Triangle Mode International Artists Workshop in Taiwan. She has hosted the renovation project and reuse of the WWII historical site – Pine Garden, “Pakeriran” – Art as Intervention Project, and the Taiwanese Indigenous Art Residency Program, etc. Pan has conducted artist residencies, presented solo exhibitions, participated in group exhibitions in the UK, Germany, Armenia, biennials in Taiwan, and has held seven solo exhibitions. During her term as director of the MoCA Taipei, seeing how the contemporary era has been seeking the new and the different to the point of exhausting itself and rendering art a mere product conforming to avant-garde thinking instead of exploring the subject of existence, she re-organized the museum’s exhibitions to revitalize the weary hearts with untamed thinking. After retirement, she returns to her hometown Hualien, and continues making art and writing to carry out the work for Aesthetic Deployment and Artistic Creation of the “Collective-Individual” Interchange System on the East Coast in Taiwan.
