About

CHANG Tengyuan (b. 1983, Kaohsiung, Taiwan) lives and works in Taipei. He received his MFA from the Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts at Tainan National University of the Arts in 2011.

His practice — spanning painting, animated installation, sculpture, and mixed media — centers on Parrotman, a fictional alien species conducting an “archaeology of the apocalypse.” Through this recurring figure, Chang constructs a deadpan, often absurdist inventory of the objects, rituals, and anxieties that define human civilization — treating the present as a ruin already waiting to be excavated. The work operates at the boundary between the real and the fictional, where pop iconography, art historical reference, and doomsday mythology converge.

Chang has presented solo exhibitions in Taipei, Osaka, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Madrid, and Paris, and has participated in the Taipei Biennial (2016) and the Taiwan Biennial (2020). His most recent solo exhibition, Everything Has A Cute Face, was presented at Gallery Nomart, Osaka, in June 2026. His work is held in the collections of the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, the Taiwan Art Bank, and MOCA OLIVE, Shodoshima, Japan.

張騰遠，1983 年生於台灣高雄，現工作生活於台北。2011 年畢業於國立臺南藝術大學造形藝術研究所，取得藝術碩士學位（MFA）。

其創作橫跨平面繪畫、動畫裝置、立體雕塑與複合媒材，以虛構外星物種「鸚鵡人（Parrotman）」為核心形象，進行所謂的「末日考古學」研究。透過這個反覆出現的角色，張騰遠以冷靜而荒誕的視角，系統性地清點人類文明的物件、儀式與焦慮，將當下視為一處已然等待被挖掘的廢墟。作品游移於真實與虛構的邊界，在流行圖像、藝術史引用與末日神話之間建立獨特的敘事座標。

張騰遠曾於台北、大阪、東京、首爾、香港、馬德里、巴黎等地舉辦個展，並參與 2016 台北雙年展及 2020 台灣雙年展。2026 年 6 月於大阪 Gallery Nomart 舉辦個展《Everything Has A Cute Face》。作品典藏於高雄市立美術館、國立臺灣美術館、台灣藝術銀行，以及日本小豆島現代美術館（MOCA OLIVE）。
