Curatorial Works
wild walls
Wild Walls presents works from Roy XR Chen’s G Series, framing graffiti as a living archive shaped by time, erosion, and repeated intervention. Moving between the roles of graffiti artist, observer, and recorder, Chen depicts walls, streets, and toilets as layered surfaces where fresh paint, decay, and residue coexist. The exhibition positions graffiti as a contemporary mural practice—both a contested public act and an evolving archive of urban memory.

weaving of times
Weaving of Times opens into Kebeyo Chen’s vivid dream-logic world, where eyes, braids, and pomegranate seeds recur as symbols of memory, growth, and inner change. Blending childhood recollection with imagination, the works blur dream and reality into surreal imagery. Braids stretch like connective threads across space and time—linking inside and outside, past and future, and the fragile interval between sleep and wakefulness.

floating works
Floating Works frames Kang Shixin’s painting as an art of transformation, echoing Sun Wukong’s “seventy-two changes” as a metaphor for freedom and emotional flux. Shifting from narrative figuration to bold, abstract color and fluid imagery, the works let characters and symbols remain unstable—changing across time and in the viewer’s eye. Across drifting figures, conflict, flowers, and rivers, the exhibition becomes a journey through life’s continual ebb and flow.

beneath the skin between the machines
Beneath the Skin, Between the Machines examines how technology reshapes bodies and social systems as “machine” expands into data, code, and algorithms. Moving between what is quantified “beneath the skin” and the infrastructures that operate “between the machines,” the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider how we touch machines, how machines read us, and where art stands within an increasingly calculable technological reality.

send yourself nowhere but shanghai
Joan Cornellà’s first large-scale museum solo exhibition in China presents new acrylic paintings and sculptural installations that extend his signature dark humor into expanded scenes and settings. With bright palettes and deceptively cheerful smiles—borrowed from advertising and safety-video imagery—Cornellà stages absurd, pandemic-era “journeys” where fantasy and reality collide. The works invite laughter first, then unease, using polished surface and bizarre backdrops to sharpen his critique of contemporary life.
