Preface This exhibition was born out of intuition—conceived on November 19, and realized online in early December. Just a few weeks ago, while preparing an interview, I removed a photo of an artist and her beloved dog, leaving only the “standard” documentation of artworks and exhibitions. Yet afterwards, I found myself questioning: Why must professionalism often be built upon the exclusion of the personal, the tender, and the real? This exhibition grew precisely out of that d

Anchor and Sky   Preface   A quarter of the way into the 21st century, and with perilous current events looming large –events which seem to defy historical context -- how do artists anchor themselves in past practices while also looking towards the sky, the future, tenuous as it may be?

Break Out! 2023 Preface It is the year 2023, yet Asian female artists find themselves in a strange yet familiar position. On the world stage, looking at metrics such as solo exhibitions in major museums, blue-chip gallery rosters and auction records, we can see that the inclination of opportunities and resources is still towards the other gender.
