Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage

Singapore Art Museum
July 24, 2026
November 22, 2026

Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage is the first monographic exhibition of the acclaimed artist presented by a Singapore museum. Taking its title from visual sensations that linger in a viewer’s field of vision, Afterimage highlights recurring concerns that run through Taniguchi’s practice, including repetition, time, and labour.

Yuyan Wang: Pilgrims
Emalin, London
October 9 – November 14, 2026

In Pilgrims, Paris-based Chinese artist Yuyan Wang explores the circulation of images, the influence of technology, and our evolving relationship with the digital world.

Through video and installation, Wang examines how images acquire new meanings as they move across different contexts, while questioning the promises of technological progress and our constant pursuit of the future.

Blurring the boundaries between the organic and the artificial, her work invites viewers to reflect on how contemporary visual culture shapes our perceptions of reality, time, and human experience.

Marking Wang’s first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom and her first presentation with Emalin, Pilgrims offers a compelling meditation on the relationship between images, technology, and contemporary life.

Contemporary Art Through an Asian Lens
Asian Voices, Global Conversations at Art Basel Paris 2026

From architectural installations and experimental sculptures to digital imagery and evocative paintings, Art Basel Paris 2026 brought together diverse artistic practices that explored memory, identity, materiality, and the human experience.

Among the works that caught our attention were Tadashi Kawamata’s monumental *Wave*, transforming reclaimed materials into an architectural intervention, and Tuan Andrew Nguyen’s *Drift Glitch* at Esther Schipper, reimagining remnants of war through a striking sculptural composition.

At BANK, Zhang Yibei explored desire and emotional absence through organic sculptural forms, while Haneyl Choi’s presentation at P21 challenged conventional representations of the human body. Lu Yang’s work at SOCIÉTÉ brought together digital technology and spiritual imagery, questioning the boundaries between physical and virtual identities.

Meanwhile, Owen Fu’s dreamlike paintings at Antenna Space and Wang Yin’s quietly evocative figurative work offered different perspectives on memory and perception. At 47 Canal, Cici Wu transformed familiar objects and light into poetic sculptural expressions.

What stood out was not a singular Asian aesthetic, but the individuality of these artistic approaches—and the many ways artists engage with histories, materials, and experiences beyond geographic and cultural boundaries.
