Chances or Coincidence: A Journey Through Time and Medium Solo Exhibition

Artland presents "Chances or Coincidence," a compelling solo exhibition by Pan Chia-chen that traces an extraordinary artistic journey spanning over five decades. From his unexpected shift from physics to architecture in 1972, through his ventures in urban planning, interior design, and art space management in the 1980s, to his transformative encounter with classical guitar making in 2011, Pan's career has been shaped by serendipitous moments. This exhibition showcases how these chance encounters have culminated in a unique artistic practice that bridges architecture, craftsmanship, and sculptural art, demonstrating the profound influence of life's coincidences on creative expression.
