CANOPY PROJECT
Project Title : In Between Exhibition becoming a Presence
YOUNG HSIANG WANG
2025/12/20 - 2026/02/08
An exhibition created through an open-call process suggests that, long before the works enter the space, the artist must first persuade—through written documents rather than artworks—the institution, the audience, and even themselves to believe that they, as an artist, are able and qualified to realize a compelling exhibition.
This exhibition continues from Wang Young-Hsiang’s earlier solo show In Between Exhibitions: The Sidestepping Presences. In Project Title: In Between Exhibitions Becoming a Presence, the core concept of “sidestepping the exhibition space” is expanded. The exhibition brings attention to the often-overlooked labor of behind-the-scenes cultural workers, as well as the aesthetic possibilities that occur in the in-between space—within the work that happens between exhibitions. Through this approach, the exhibition becomes a medium that reintroduces these hidden processes and gestures to the viewer.
With curator Chang Tsu-Wei joining the project, the original proposal format titled Project Title: In Between Exhibitions Becoming a Presence is adopted directly as the exhibition title. This shift not only continues the artist’s investigation into artistic labor, but also expands the focus to include the curator as a cultural worker—as both artist and curator navigate the conditions of capital, audiences, and institutional frameworks before the exhibition officially exists.
By extending the question of “How is an exhibition formed?”, Project Title: In Between Exhibitions Becoming a Presence includes artworks, planning documents, advertisement placements, public talks, and discursive programming. Through these multiple components, the exhibition is no longer presented solely as a finished outcome, but becomes an ongoing artistic event—one that unfolds through process, negotiation, and shared reflection.

ARTIST
YOUNG HSIANG WANG
Wang Young-Hsiang was born in Taiwan. His recent artistic creations stem from his observations of the Taiwanese contemporary art environment and structural issues of spatiality, which he gained while working in the art industry, including exhibition planning and execution. Utilizing concepts, spatial installations, readymades, and video as his creative media, his work revolves around exploring and experimenting with spatial relationships, becoming a means for the margins (such as geography, identity, and venue) to confront the imagination of the center.
Through his works, he reveals things in life that are too minute and thus overlooked, prompting a re-examination of the meaning of space, boundaries, and objects. The reflexive questioning often present in his pieces also touches upon power and political relationships; behind the forms lies a social concern regarding how we exist within this space. His aim is to use his personal experiences to question the boundaries between art and society and to remain closely connected to everyday life.
