Lu Pei-Yi is a curator, researcher and art critic. Her research interests mainly divide into two parts: one relates to Off-Site Art (artistic practice outside museums, including institutional critique, public art, art and city, community art, participatory art, socially-engaged art, and activist art) and another is about exhibition histories with a specific focus on Taiwan exhibition histories after the 90s, curatorial research and exhibition-making. A research-based book edited by her Contemporary Art Curating in Taiwan (1992-2012) was nominated the 10th Annual Award of Art China for Publication of the Year. Her curatorial practices include associate curator of the 8th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale: We Have Not Participated (2014); curator of Micro Micro Revolution (2015) at the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (CFCCA) and co-curator of the 5th Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition: Negative Horizon (2016) at Hong-Gah Museum. She is the founding director of the MA Program on Critical and Curatorial Studies of Contemporary Art, National Taipei University of Education and now serves as an associate professor. Her publications can be found in various conferences, such as Tate Modern, World Congress of Art History (CIHA) and journals, such as Art Critique of Taiwan (ACT), Journal of Taipei Fine Art Museum, Museum and Culture, and Yishu: Journal of Chinese Contemporary Art.
