SELECTED PROJECTS
2023 - 2024
Between Waves positions the ocean as a living archive of migration, memory, and resilience, tracing how contemporary artists engage with its shifting histories. Across the Asia-Pacific, waves have carried ancient seafarers, colonial violence, and ecological crises, yet they also sustain relational networks that defy imposed borders. Through moving image, installation, and performance, the artists in Between Waves reclaim the sea as a site of resistance, remembrance, and future-making.
A Dweller on Two Planets
2023 - 2024
Microscope Gallery, New York 2023
Inspired by the early science fiction novel, ‘A Dweller on Two Planets,’ by Frederick Spencer Olive, this exhibition suggests possibilities for cultural engagement today. This fictional story discloses a vision of human existence in the future, where the co-existence between East and West extends into outer space. Taking these speculations as a starting point, this exhibition links four media artists based in Asia. Together, their recent works explore cultural interference, remixing historical events and colonial legacy in order to develop an alternative narrative that suggests a mode of planetary thinking with regards to immigration, futurism, and nature.
Pan-Astronesia Art Festival
2021
Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
This exhibition seeks to establish a shared space within contemporary art—one where cultural dialogues transcend bloodlines, languages, ethnicities, and national borders, fostering connections within a broader global framework. Featuring twenty-three artist collectives and practitioners from Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Pakistan, and France, the festival presents a dynamic convergence of voices, expanding the discourse on Austronesian identity, oceanic narratives, and contemporary artistic practices.
Tony Oursler: Black Box
2021
Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
Black Box is the first major museum exhibition in Asia devoted to the full scope of the career of Tony Oursler (b. 1957, New York), widely considered to be among the pioneers of American multimedia and video art. Oursler has been consistently redefining moving image and installation art through innovative and diverse methods of incorporating video, sculpture and performance into his practice. Black Box reveals his fascination with mystical phenomena and the origin of the camera obscura, conjuring immersive experiences through technologies of projection, video screens, and optical devices.
SUNSHOWER
Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia 1980s to Now
2019
Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
SUNSHOWER: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia 1980s to Now, co-organized by Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and Mori Art Museum, explores how artists respond to the region’s political shifts, decolonization, and rapid transformation. “Sunshower” symbolizes both Southeast Asia’s weather and its complex histories, marked by colonization, dictatorship, growth, and resilience across diverse cultural and national contexts.
Tomb of the Soul, Temple, Machine and the Self
2018
Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
Presented as a parallel exhibition in response to the tour of Twentieth-Century Nudes from Tate, this show explored the body as a contested site of cultural inscription, colonial memory, and visual ideology. Juxtaposing Western mind-body dualism with Taiwan’s layered postcolonial identity, it proposed the body as both metaphor and rupture—fragmented, inscribed, and reframed through constellative visual narratives.
Flags, Transnational - Migrants and Outlaw Territories
2016
Tokyo Arts and Space (Tokyo Wonder Site)
Flags, Transnational – Migrants and Outlaw Territories revisited the 1946 Shibuya Incident, a suppressed postwar clash involving Taiwanese migrants in Japan. Through archival-based work by Fuji Hikaru and regional artists, the exhibition re-examined fractured identities, statelessness, and urban space as sites of erasure—challenging state narratives and re-inscribing memory through postcolonial and geopolitical frameworks.
Beyond the Borderline - Exiles from the Native Land
2015
Howl Art Space
This exhibition examined shifting notions of identity and belonging in East Asia through the lens of exile, displacement, and neoliberal urban transformation. Featuring artists from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and China, the exhibition explored how class, territory, and estrangement intersect, reimagining exile as both resistance and philosophical detachment in a fragmented, economically driven post-national landscape.
Reverse Niche
Dialogue and Rebuilding at the City’s Edge
2013
Hong-gah Museum
Building on research into Expo ’70 in Osaka, this exhibition examined how urban transformation influences socially engaged art in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. Through site-specific installations, archival work, and participatory projects, it explored displacement, historical erasure, and the politics of visibility, foregrounding contemporary art as a tool for reclaiming suppressed narratives and reimagining collective memory.
