Everyday War: Yuan Goang-Ming
September 25, 2026 – December 19, 2026
Wrightwood 659, 659 W. Wrightwood, Chicago, IL 60614
Widely recognized as a pioneer in Taiwan’s new media art scene, Yuan Goang-Ming is celebrated for his starkly poetic video and installation works reflecting the fragmented and surreal nature of contemporary life. Everyday War is based on the critically acclaimed exhibition the artist presented at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024. At Wrightwood 659, the large, immersive installation will send an eerie soundscape throughout the galleries. Audio drawn from the artist’s previous works, including Prophecy (2014), will merge and collide. Glasses and dinnerware on a kinetic table will shake in response to an unseen threat while a home will be subjected to the unpredictably intrusive nature of war. Yuan Goang-Ming: Everyday War is organized by Halsted A&A Foundation at Wrightwood 659, Chicago. It is adapted from the exhibition presented at the Taiwan Pavilion of the 60th Venice Biennale, curated by Abby Chen, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco.
