Past Exhibitions

In the exhibition In-Between beings, Te-Mao Lee contemplates the question of existence through a series of video works that gaze toward a future two thousand years from now. Along Taiwan’s east coast, tectonic forces have gradually uplifted ancient coastal settlements to elevated sites—prehistoric traces now suspended above sea level—revealing that ancient peoples once lived by the sea. This vertical dimension of spacetime prompts a descent 20 meters below today’s sea level, where the artist explores a yet-to-arrive mode of being through the materiality of seabed sand.

Life in the Anthropocene features a room-sized graph of the volume of Global Plastic Production (1950-2040), assembled with discarded plastics collected largely from the artist’s household, her office, and her neighbors.

of permutations and patterns draws inspiration from several sources including early modern botanical illustrations; the diagrams of plant circumnutation (the autonomous, cyclical movement of plants in response to environmental stimuli) done by Charles Darwin in the 1880s; and the engravings from Nehemiah Grew’s 1682  “The Anatomy of Plants,” some of the earliest studies of plant morphology through a microscope.

To many, the United States is sliding into madness and autocracy. Fueled by a cult of personality to a grifter and a demagogue, half the country cheers the spreading authoritarianism while the other half looks on in disbelief.

But some are beginning to push back. RESIST is an ongoing series that documents this growing backlash. These photographs highlight individual and collective acts of resistance by ordinary people peacefully protesting the creeping authoritarianism overtaking their country. Although the current political and cultural situation seems bleak, these acts of defiance can have a profound effect on our collective future. After all, a single grain of sand may be insignificant. But a million grains of sand can grind the gears of tyranny to a halt.

RESIST is thus a celebration of resistance and a call to action. It asks viewers to ponder the question “What are you willing to do or risk to resist?”

The exhibition celebrates work produced between 1940–1996 by well-known figures who pushed artistic boundaries to produce a pan-American visual language and spotlights avant-garde artists who defined foundational movements like surrealism and geometric abstraction. Featuring artists such as Roberto Matta (Chile), Sarah Grilo (Argentina), Manabu Mabe (Brazil), and Jesús Rafael Soto (Venezuela), the exhibition charts the cultural exchanges and creative tensions fostered by Latin American artists, whose experimentations with form, color, and movement created powerful dialogues within and beyond their respective countries.

In this new series, Kheiriyeh draws inspiration from the love story of Zal and Rudaba, from the Shahnameh written by Ferdowsi — one of her favorite childhood narratives. Centuries ago, many Persian painters once illustrated these stories on a miniature scale. Kheiriyeh reimagines them in large-scale works that invite viewers to step inside their timeless world.

This exhibition presents three works by Taiwanese artist Tao Ya-Lun that examine the spectral nature of power, technology, and displacement in contemporary life. Through two immersive VR installations and one video work, viewers encounter the ubiquitous forces that shape human existence—from utopian monuments to the profound ruptures of war and exile. Together, these works reveal how virtual media and technology create both unprecedented surveillance and unexpected forms of presence. The “Ghost”—whether political ideology, consumer fantasy, or displaced person—persists beyond physical boundaries or manufactured “togetherness,” infiltrating consciousness and reshaping what we understand as real.

Unbreakable Elements by Jun Lee explores printmaking through materials such as wood, paper, and glass – each chosen for its ability to withstand pressure. These works consider the ways we gather strength after moments of defeat and how we rebuild both individually and collectively amidst ongoing precarity. Lee’s work utilizes animals and the cultural narratives that surround them as an accessible entry point to consider our own social dynamics: we, too, are capable of both ruthless competition and compassionate collectivity in our struggles to survive. The reduction woodcut technique Lee employs to create layered imagery further reflects the themes of resilience and transformation. Each carved decision is irreversible: once material is removed, there is no turning back. What remains is a commitment to progress, an acceptance that life requires us to face the consequences of our choices, adapt, and continue.
