Walking Grass Agriculture is a Taiwan-based visual art, design, and curatorial collective founded in 2014 by artists Chen Han-Sheng and Liu Hsing-You. Drawing inspiration from their shared upbringing in farming families and their backgrounds in new media and art history, the collective explores the intersection of agriculture, folk knowledge, and contemporary art. Their name, referencing the Pokémon character Oddish (literally “Walking Grass” in Chinese), reflects a sensibility rooted in mobility, observation, and playful reinvention.
Based in Kaohsiung—Taiwan’s largest port city, known for its industrial landscapes and complex cultural fabric—Walking Grass Agriculture grounds its practice in a methodology they describe as “art through agriculture, cultivating from the roots.” For the artists, agriculture is more than a set of techniques; it is an inherited way of life and a model for artistic thinking. Seasonal rhythms, environmental attunement, and material sensitivity form the basis of their approach.
Their works blur the line between art and activism, employing participatory installations, site-specific research, and curatorial interventions to investigate relationships between food, labor, land, and local histories. Integrating research in topography, modernology, and material culture, they transform fieldwork and agricultural experience into conceptual frameworks for artistic production.
In recent years, their projects have expanded to address broader ecological issues, urban transformation, and gender dynamics. Their work has been presented at major institutions and exhibitions including the Centre Pompidou (France), Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco (US), Arsenal Gallery in Białystok (Poland), Bangkok Biennale (Thailand), and Taipei Fine Arts Museum (Taiwan).
