Winter Exhibitions in Taiwan Explore Body Politics, Planetary Crisis, and Historical Erasure

Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab presents Re: Play in Taipei through November 29, examining performance art's social role since the 1990s. Kao Jun-Honn restages early millennium works alongside Lee Kit, Siren Eun Young Jung, Joyce Ho, and Samson Young. The Taipei Biennial runs from November 21 to March 14 at Taipei Fine Arts Museum, cocurated by Bruno Latour and Martin Guinard with Eva Lin managing public programs. Featuring 58 participants including Pierre Huyghe, MILLIØNS, Su Yu-Hsin, Marianne Morild, and Cemelesai Takivalet, the exhibition addresses planetary disagreement through installations about competing cosmologies. Sawangwongse Yawnghwe's Burmese History X at TKG+ through November 21 investigates ethnic minority marginalization in Myanmar using family photographs and abstract color blocks. Lai Chih-Sheng's solo exhibition Linger continues through May 23 at Kaohsiung's Alien Art Centre, featuring minimalist sculptures that engage with architectural space. His works include No Ifs (2013) and Border (2013), reflecting his background with 1990s conceptual group National Oxygen and former bricklaying profession. These exhibitions collectively explore themes of memory, ideology, environmental crisis, and historical reconstruction across multiple Taiwanese venues.
