The Hayward Gallery, in partnership with RC Foundation, Taiwan (R.O.C.), will present Musquiqui Chihying: A Life of Navigation. This will mark the artist’s first solo exhibition in a public institution in the UK and the seventh exhibition in the RC Foundation Project Space Exhibition Series, which showcases the next generation of emerging international artists.
As part of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary programme, Musquiqui Chihying: A Life of Navigation takes place in the HENI Project Space in the Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery – a space that offers the opportunity for audiences to discover exhibitions from new artistic voices for free.
Musquiqui Chihying is a Taiwanese artist whose work explores our ambiguous relationship with both analogue and digital technologies through installation, video, photography, and sculpture. Through an imaginative and humorous lens, Chihying examines how modern-day technological systems are continuously reshaping the ways we navigate contemporary societal structures and our human condition. Demonstrating the breadth of his practice that blurs the lines between reality and the surreal with intriguing effect, A Life of Navigation will pair two early works, namely The Jog (2014) and The Toyota (2015), with two new video installations. The newly produced works cast a playful yet critical eye on the advancement of artificial intelligence and gaming culture, teasing out the underlying and often unspoken presence of renewed colonial attitudes.
