Rae-Yen Song's 'song dynasty ○○○○' and '•~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~•' at Tramway, Glasgow
Rae-Yen Song's solo exhibition, '•~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~•,' is on display at Tramway in Glasgow until August 16, 2026. Among the highlights is her sculptural costume 'song dynasty ○○○○' (2025), which first appeared at the Folkestone Triennial. The exhibit explores themes like parasitism, regeneration, and ancestral connections, drawing inspiration from the sand mason worm. Song incorporates materials such as pond water, silk, and family heirlooms, collaborating with sound artist Flora Yin Wong. The versatile costume emphasizes themes of migration and resistance. After Tramway, the exhibit will travel to FACT Liverpool from September 18, 2026, to February 14, 2027. Song will also participate in British Art Show 10, curated by Ekow Eshun, from October 2, 2026, to June 18, 2028.
