Hsu will continue to investigate colonial histories of Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore as part of a larger project dedicated to backtrack early models of globalization

In the wake of a research conducted in collaboration with the Eindhoven University of Technology which led to his solo exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum (2015), Hsu will continue to investigate colonial histories of Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore as part of a larger project dedicated to backtrack early models of globalization. His interest lies especially in the political, economic, and infrastructural role played by the Dutch East India Company in the 17th century in Southeast Asia and its manifestation in the architectural complexes such as Fort Noord-Holland in Taiwan and Stadthuys (City Hall) in Malacca City, Malaysia.
