2025-11-01	Cici Wu in Downtime Parlor at JWD Artspace
	Downtime Parlor looks at the aftermath of political intensity not as a rupture but as what lingers, as an affective field that persists, a time inhabited rather than left behind. Extending beyond its bounded moment, the event slips into other registers: exhaustion, negotiations, and the daily recalibrations of living together and apart. This aftermath (if it can even be called so) is one woven from small narratives and micro-gestures, from cruel optimisms and crueller disappointments, from provisional alignments, from pauses and repetitions that defy tidy arcs. To remain here is to attend to what has not ended (well)—not in nostalgia for what once assembled, nor in the consolations of narrative coherence—but to dwell in the unfinished without demanding that it be made whole. Convened around the works of five artists and two groups, the exhibition considers in quieter times the tentative, the insistently minor; it is less a performance of politics than an ongoing rehearsal, where pauses, returns or improvised forms of continuity take centre stage. November 7th 2025 to February 8th 2026 at JWD Artspace, Bangkok. Artists: Cici Wu, Dora Garcia, Nadia Guerroui, Nisit Samyan, Prachachee Library, Pratchaya Phinthong, Wai Ip. Curated by Ariane Sutthavong. Read more …
2025-10-30	Tishan Hsu at Lisson Gallery
	Lisson Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition by Tishan Hsu, ’emergence’. For over four decades, Hsu has investigated the advancing intersection between the human body and technological systems, developing a singular material language that blends digital imagery, industrial surfaces, and biomorphic forms. His latest show features a range of wall-based pieces, sculptural LED screens, and large-scale visual environments, all of which reflect a heightened engagement with both computational and medical infrastructures. The exhibition will be on view from 30 October 2025 until 24 January 2026. Read more …
2025-10-30	Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork in the Singapore Biennale
	Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork is participating in the 2025 Singapore Biennale: pure intention, with a commissioned work located in Fort Gate titled HNZF IV. The exhibition is on view through March 29, 2026, and the curatorial team includes Hsu Fang-Tze, Selene Yap, Duncan Bass, and Ong Puay Khim. Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork’s HNZF (Harsh Noise Zen Fountains) combines aerospace scrap from WWII-era military aircrafts, computer-controlled water pumps and hydrophones into sonic sculptures. Referencing the form of certain outdoor “zen” fountains typically associated with relaxation or meditation, Gork transforms these devices into disruptive generators of noise. HNZF IV draws on the artist’s research into the military history of sound technologies and the various limestone caves of Okinawa, where civilians sought refuge during World War II. At Fort Canning-once a site of British and later Japanese military command on the island-the amplified sound of water echoing through the old Fort gate draws parallels between the experiences of Okinawans, interred Japanese-Americans, and Singapore’s own violent occupation under Japanese rule during the war.
2025-10-21	Cici Wu in Echo Delay Reverb, Palais de Tokyo, Paris
	On view from October 22, 2025 through February 15, 2026, the group exhibition “ECHO DELAY REVERB: American Art, Francophone Thought” explores the history of the transatlantic circulation of forms and ideas through the works of some sixty artists, bringing together a wide variety of mediums and a number of new commissions. The exhibition features works by several generations of artists, from the 1970s to the present day: some attest to a direct dialogue between theory and practice, others are sometimes subversive tributes, and still others are more allusive correspondences. Key historical artists such as Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Renée Green, Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson and Glenn Ligon feature alongside younger artists such as Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Char Jeré and Cici Wu. The exhibition revisits some of the major figures in American art of recent decades from a fresh perspective. Archival materials throughout the exhibition meanwhile highlight individuals, institutions, and publishers that played a crucial role in disseminating these ideas in the United States. Read more …

	Jonathan Griffin has interviewed Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork for Ocula magazine. “For nearly two decades, Los Angeles-based Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork has used sound as a sculptural and architectural medium, as well as sculpture and architecture as acoustic structures to support and manipulate sound.
