歷屆受獎人

Jau-lan GUO

• 2026
• Art History
• Taiwan 到 United States

To explore the intersection of the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) and the history of Taiwanese art. Guo aims to examine the influence of ACC and its predecessor, the JDR 3rd Fund, on the development of modern art in Taiwan during the 1960s and 70s, through archival research and interviews. She will conduct research at the Rockefeller Archive Center, consulting relevant archival materials related to ACC Taiwan grantees, including Liu Kuo-Sung (ACC 1964, 1966), Chuang Che (ACC 1966, 1968), and Fong Ray (ACC 1971). Guo seeks to reexamine the relationships between grantmaking, international exchange, and the development of modern art in Taiwan within the context of the Cold War, and to contribute further historical materials and perspectives to the study of Taiwanese art history.

Christie Hei Yuen WONG

• 2026
• Art History
• Hong Kong 到 China

To investigate the influence of socialist realism on photographic practices and image-making in twentieth-century China. Over the course of her four-month trip to Mainland China, Wong hopes to find primary source materials on Maoist-era Chinese photography that can enrich her research on the affective impact of propaganda photographs and related objects. Meeting with local scholars and curators knowledgeable about Mao-era photography and visual culture will provide expertise for her research. Dialogues with contemporary artists and other practitioners in photography and image-based work will help determine connections between her historical research and contemporary art. Wong aims to bring greater global exposure to this genre of Chinese visual culture in Hong Kong and beyond.
