Biographical Note

Jane Ingram Allen, an American independent curator, artist and critic, has lived in Taiwan full- or part-time since 2004, when she came to Taiwan as a Fulbright Scholar artist. She is an American sculptor/installation artist, and paper maker originally from Alabama who taught at SUNY Morrisville (1988-2001) and the College of Saint Rose in Albany (2001-2005). Allen was the founding curator for the Guandu International Outdoor Sculpture Festival at Guandu Nature Park in Taipei, from 2006-2009, and she was the founding curator for the Cheng Long Wetlands International Environmental Art Project in 2010.

Scope and Content

The ChengLong Wetlands International Environmental Art Projects was started as an invitational sculpture project in 2010. Cheng Long Village is located in Yunlin County, Kouhu Township and is near the southwestern coast of Taiwan. Cheng Long Village has about 500 residents. This area of Taiwan is economically depressed, and some of the land that was formerly used for farming is sinking, underwater, or too salty for growing crops. The Taiwan Forestry Bureau has set aside part of the sinking land to create the Cheng Long Wetlands, a wetland nature preserve that is now home to many species of birds, fish and other wildlife. Now fish farming and the production of seafood is the main occupation of the local people. Artists from all countries are invited to send proposals for site-specific outdoor sculpture installations to be created during a 25-day artist in residency in Cheng Long. Artworks are site specific and located on, in and around existing village structures, old houses, abandoned buildings, vacant lots, underneath the roadway, beside the highway, and in Cheng Long Wetlands. The artworks are made with recycled and natural materials that are part of the daily lives of the village residents, and are designed to last for two years or longer. Artists work alongside other international artists and Taiwanese artists and with children and village residents. Materials include exhibition catalogs, exhibition brochures, posters, proposal materials, and digital images.
